Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 962

Agnes brought the rings for the couple.

Mamie and Ivan exchanged diamond bands and sealed their vows with a kiss.

Everything was as enchanting as a storybook romance.

Mamie was heavily pregnant and had been holding up for quite some time.

After the ceremony, she retired to the lounge to rest.

Agnes returned to her seat.

Her place was at the head table. But today, the Bartley clan was conspicuously absent.

Instead, it was a crowd of Ivan and Mamie’s friends. Even Brayden had shown up.

But sitting next to Brayden wasn't Kerri; it was Maisie.

To tell the truth, it was Agnes' first time meeting Maisie.

She seemed aloof and silent, not uttering a word from start to finish.

There was no interaction between her and Brayden either.

Agnes knew most of the others at the table.

Shawn was still the same boisterous playboy, but now there was a woman by his side. Although dressed in an evening gown, she sat with impeccable posture, all business.

Turned out she was a cop, Shawn told everyone with a grin.

The table cracked jokes that finally someone could keep Shawn's wild ways in check.

"If he steps out of line, just slap on the handcuffs," they teased.

Shawn was clearly smitten, reining in his arrogance when trying to impress her, almost like he was a changed man.

However, his true colors showed when he interacted with the rest. Especially when he saw Agnes approach, he pulled her next to Jared, acting like they were close to each other.

Agnes wasn't supposed to be at this table, but Shawn's antics had left her no escape.

Brayden seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the show from the sidelines. So did everyone else.

Jared just drank, his eyes clear and focused.

Agnes knew he could hold his liquor.
