Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 310

Agnes quickly explained her reason for visiting: “Helena, actually, we’re just here to borrow your

bathroom, you know we don’t have one at our place. My husband just finished fixing the barn and his

clothes got all dirty, so I thought we could use your bathroom to take showers.”

Helena immediately replied, “Sure, go right ahead. Agnes, I’m about to get Laird to start on dinner, you

guys are not allowed to leave tonight. I’ll have your grandma come over in a bit, and we’ll all have

dinner together.”

Agnes and Jared headed to the second floor.

The second floor of Helena’s house had a separate bathroom, rarely used.

Whenever Agnes came to borrow the bathroom, she went there.

As they were walking down the hallway, a bedroom door suddenly swung open.

Mariela stepped out from inside.

She was very surprised to see Agnes, “Agnes, when did you get back?”

Agnes cheerfully greeted her, “I just got back last night, Mariela. It’s been a while since you’ve been

back too.”

Mariela paused for a moment when she saw Jared standing behind Agnes. Then a surprised look

crossed her face, “And this is…

Agnes introduced with a smile, “This is my husband.”

Mariela looked shocked, “You’re married?”

Agnes blushed a bit, “Yes, we’re married.”

“Anyway, we’re here to borrow the bathroom. Sorry for the trouble.”

“No problem, go right ahead.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Agnes led Jared to the bathroom, gave him a brief rundown, and then said, Til leave first. Once you’re

done, I’ll come in and take my shower”

Actually, Agnes had brought her own clothes. She hadn’t taken a shower last night and already felt

quite uncomfortable.

“After coming to this place, I realized that water is really important. Every drop is precious,” Jared said

with a laugh. Agnes was puzzled, “What are you trying to say?”

“To save water, we could shower together”

Agnes blushed, “You’re joking again. I refuse. I’ll come back when you’re done.”

With that, Agnes left the bathroom.

Seeing them come up together, Mariela might misunderstand if they stayed in the bathroom together

for long.

Agnes didn’t brush it off as casually as Jared did.

After leaving, Agnes went to chat with Mariela.

Mariela seemed quite curious about Jared, kept asking how they met and got married

Agnes naturally didn’t tell the whole truth, after all, their relationship didn’t start off too well.

So she vaguely mentioned that they met at a company where she was interning and gradually fell in

love.

Mariela said, “So you guys work together” Agnes didn’t deny it.

They were workmates, only that Jared was her superior at the time.

Initially, Agnes worried that Mariela might recognize Jared, but it seemed like she didn’t

Mariela used to work in a foreign country and only transferred to a multinational corporation in S City

this year, so it wasn’t surprising she didn’t know Jared.

That was better, Agnes didn’t want everyone to treat Jared differently.

After a while, Jared came out.

Agnes picked up her clothes and told him, “Tm going to take a shower. You can wait for me

downstairs”

Jared nodded.

After Agnes left, Jared was about to leave the room.

But Mariela approached him, saying with a smile, “Agnes and I grew up together. I didn’t expect her to

get marned so soon. By the way, can I call you Jared?”
