Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 243

Agnes said, “I hope my studies go smoothly, and my grandmother stays healthy and lives to at least a

hundred.”

Thinking of her grandmother, Agnes felt quilty. It was her birthday today, but her father hadn’t invited

her grandmother, and she hadn’t visited her grandma in a long

time.

Jared furrowed his brows.

He noticed that his name wasn’t mentioned in her wishes. He let out a faint hum, clearly dissatisfied,

“Stupid girl, don’t you know that wishes won’t come true if you say them out loud?”

Agnes replied, “If you already knew that saying them out loud would prevent them from coming true,

why did you ask me in the first place?”

Agnes continued to enjoy her cake.

However, suddenly she let out a scream and found a diamond ring inside the cake. She was pleasantly

surprised and quickly wiped off the cream from the ring

using a tissue.

Then, with excitement, she handed the ring to Jared, “Is this the birthday gift you got for me?”

Jared raised an eyebrow, “Do you like it?”

Of course, Agnes liked it, not just because it was a diamond ring, but because Jared had prepared a

gift for her. She had felt a bit disappointed earlier

Agnes smiled and glanced at Jared, “You hid it so well. Weren’t you afraid I might have swallowed it

just now?”

“It’s my fault for not considering everything. You’re quite clumsy, and it’s possible you could have done

something like that.”

Agnes frowned, “Jared, do you really think I’m that dumb in your eyes?”

Jared fell silent for a moment and then said seriously, “Perhaps among the women I know, you are the

dumbest.”

Agnes was angry. Why was this person so unpleasant?

“Why would you marry someone as dumb as me and even give me a ring?” Agnes asked, puzzled.

They had secretly married before, simply obtaining their marriage certificate, and Jared hadn’t given

her a ring. So when she saw the ring as a gift, she was pleasantly surprised. The current Agnes was

completely different from before; she now eagerly anticipated the sense of ceremony that came with a

wedding. To her, this was the best gift.

But now that he had given her a gift, why couldn’t he say a few words of praise?

Jared calmly said, “Because I love you, dear. Happy birthday”

Agnes was stunned for a moment.

Why was he always full of surprises?

He had almost never said he loved her

Her nose felt sour, and tears threatened to flow.

For the first time, Agnes felt grateful that she had met this man and fallen in love with him. He made her

previously lonely and empty life feel so warm and stable.

“I love you too, forever…” Agnes responded in her heart.

The next day!

Agnes slept until 10 in the morning. She must have overslept because she was so tired from last night.

Fortunately, she didn’t have any classes today.

Agnes remembered she had an appointment with Ivan and quickly got up to wash and change. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She got ready quickly and headed straight to the Century Building.

A group of reporters surrounded the entrance to the Century Building, but Agnes didn’t find it strange.

This building housed many celebrities, and it was a common place for entertainment journalists to hang

out.

Agnes dressed modestly and wore a scarf and a hat, quickly blending into the crowd.

As soon as she entered the Century Building, the reporters behind her suddenly became lively.

A luxurious car had stopped outside.

Amid the crowd, Mamie stepped out of the car
