Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 311

Jared gave a poker-faced nod.

“So Agnes just said you guys work together, what do you do exactly?”

Jared answered casually, “Just a regular job.”

Mariela chuckled, changing the subject, “Agnes has got a good eye. You’re clearly a very good

person.”

Jared didn’t seem interested in small talk, he turned to leave the room.

Mariela called out to him, “Jared, could you do me a favor?”

Jared turned around.

Mariela gave a small smile, “There seems to be something wrong with my laptop, could you take a

look?”

By then, Mariela had picked up the laptop from the desk and walked over to Jared, have to work tonight

but my computer just froze and there are some important files on it that haven’t been backed up yet.

Really sorry for the trouble, Jared”

Jared furrowed his brows slightly.

He sat down on the single-seater couch in the room, starting up the computer. The screen was black.

Jared tweaked a few programs and restarted the computer. In just a few minutes, the computer was

back to normal.

Mariela had just brought over a cup of coffee, only to see that the computer was already up and

running.

Mariela exclaimed in surprise, “Jared, you’re really amazing

With that, she handed him the cup of coffee, “This is a coffee my friend brought over, give it a try.”

Before Jared could reach for it, Mariela’s hand shook and a cup of coffee spilled onto Jared’s pants.

Mariela cried out in surprise, “I’m sorry.”

She quickly grabbed some tissues from the table and prepared to wipe Jared’s pants.

But before her hand could touch Jared, Jared suddenly stood up and took a step back. Then he said in

a cold tone, “Stay away from me.”

Mariela was clearly not expecting such a reaction from Jared.

She stood there in shock, tissues still in hand.

Just then, Agnes walked out of the bathroom after a shower and saw what happened.

Agnes quickly went over, saying awkwardly: “Never mind, Mariela He’s a neat freak and doesn’t like to

be touched.” Agnes grabbed some tissues and wiped Jared, but he didn’t seem to care.

Mariela quickly composed herself, giving a small laugh, “My bad, I accidentally spilled coffee on Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Jared.”

Helena came upstairs and saw them all in the room. She said with a smile. “You guys should come

downstairs for dinner! Agnes, your grandma’s here too.”

Everyone went downstairs, with Agnes and Jared trailing behind.

Agnes shot Jared a look, “You were really rude just now.”

Jared frowned, “Your neighbor is a bit weird.”

Agnes pinched him, “You’re the weird one. The Lairds are all very nice. It’s just a small accident. Good

thing Mariela is understanding and didn’t hold it against you.” At dinner, the Helena family was very

welcoming

Agnes grandma didn’t seem to like Jared very much, she was rather aloof,

After dinner, her grandma and Helena were chatting in the kitchen.

Laird invited Jared to play a game of Go

Agnes and Manela were enjoying some fruits and chatting by a small table in the yard.

Mariela said, “Agnes, did you know there’s a boat race in town tomorrow? You and Jared can’t miss out

on such a fun event now that you’re back.”
