Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 724

Jared was acting as ravenous as a wolf that hasn't seen food for years, and yes, that night had been

intense, but who verifies things in such a manner?

Jared was clearly being a rascal again.

Agnes stared at him with her deep and clear eyes, "Jared, can't you behave?"

Jared had already taken her hand, slowly moving it downwards, "Or, should we verify again?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Agnes felt as if her palm was half-burnt, "Jared!"

Jared stopped teasing her, his expression became serious, "Agnes, come back home with me. It's

been four years, how many four years does one have in life? I've never betrayed you, neither in body

nor in spirit. Come back to me, Nocturne needs a complete home."

The word home made Agnes' nose sting with unshed tears. It's been so long since she last heard that

word.

It was a word that stirred her heart, buried deep within her, untouched.

For years, she struggled alone in Manhattan, depending on Nocturne for support.

Every night, looking at Nocturne's face, Agnes felt content, but also heartbroken and lonely, because

deep down, she always felt that something was missing.

Jared's words today were beyond her wildest dreams. She felt incredibly vulnerable.

The moonlight was bright, surrounded by a floral wall. Unknown flowers bloomed in the night, flaunting

their charming postures. The air was full of enticing fragrance.

Agnes felt as if she was in a dream. Jared's voice seemed to come from a distance, lingering in her

ear, each word drilling into her.

Agnes felt utterly exhausted. Over the years, she had a belief that kept her going. She felt that she was

powerful enough to handle anything, without needing any shelter.

Yet at this moment, Agnes had to admit that she was still weak, and Jared's words shattered the hard

armor she had painstakingly built over the years.

Yes, deep down, she longed for his presence. It seemed that from the moment she saw Jared again, a

voice in her heart was screaming.

She still loved him, loved him to the point where she couldn't resist his approach.

Over these four years, she thought she had forgotten Jared, only to find herself relying on sleeping pills

to get rid of his image in her mind at night.

Besides her journalism work, she volunteered on weekends. It not because she was noble, but

because she couldn't afford to be idle.

Over the years, Jared was like a devil locked in her heart.

Agnes had to be on her guard, or he would slip out and recklessly gnaw at her yearning.

Suddenly, Agnes broke down crying. It seemed sudden, but Jared understood that it was the eruption

of suppressed emotions over the years.

Because right now, Jared also wanted to cry his heart out.

Jared held Agnes tightly in his arms, repeating, "Come back home with me, let's go home."

In the end, Agnes finally nodded in Jared's arms, her face covered with her hands.

This was it. She was tired, she needed someone to lean on.

Agnes knew that the four years of separation had built a mountain between them, but Jared had

already tried his best to take ninety-nine steps towards her, and she had to take the last step herself,

because, she couldn't live without him either...
