Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 57

Jenny couldn’t take the reality; she covered her face and sat on the ground, sobbing hard.

Seeing Jenny like this, Agnes was reminded of the first time they had a conversation.

It was the first day of junior high, during the first PE class. The teacher insisted that all students wear s neakers. Who didn’t wear sneakers would have to stand in punishment on the playground.

When everyone else was in the locker room changing their shoes, Agnes noticed Jenny standing alone in a corner, lears streaming down her face. Agnes took the initiative to go up and ask what was wrong, that was their first conversation!

Jenny told her she didn’t have sneakers and was sure to be punished.

That day, Agnes had brought her shoes but didn’t put them on.

She still remembered the scene where they were both punished by the teacher, standing under the basketball hoop.

Jenny asked her, “You had your shoes; why didn’t you wear them?”

Agnes smiled at her and said, “I’m here to keep you company; at least we won’t be bored if there are t wo of us”

Agnes had said it so casually that Jenny couldn’t help but let the tears fall, saying, “Agnes, can you

Agnes replied, “From now on, we’re best friends.”

be my friend?”

After that, Agnes specifically went to the mall to buy a pair of Nike sneakers and gave them to Jenny th e next day.

Jenny, in return, had made her a homemade breakfast omelette.

Those beautiful memories of the past were like a movie flashing through her mind.

Agnes’s heart was heavy at the moment she never thought that their relationship could go from so inno cent to so terrible.

Time and fate were indeed cruel, they can change people’s hearts and everything.

Agnes remembered that when she was a child, her mother taught her to practice calligraphy, and she wrote a line of poetry. “Colorful clouds disperse easily; glazed pottery breaks easily.”

She asked her mother what it meant.

Her mother just sighed and told her, “In this world, beautiful things are always fleeting.”

Agnes didn’t say anything more, turned around, and left, with Elton following closely behind.

Next to the Caesar International Hospital was the Grand Square.

There was a crowd in the square; it was very lively.

Agnes quietly sat down on a bench in the square.

Elton walked over and stopped in front of Agnes.

Agnes looked up at him, feeling like she was looking at a complete stranger.

“Agnes, I’m sorry,” said Elton.

Agnes replied, “You didn’t do anything wrong to me. In fact, you’re the real victim!

Elton said, “I got engaged to Jenny because I was afraid she would hurt you. I decided to take her abroad to prote ct you, but I didn’t expect even the pregnancy to be her plan”

Agnes just nodded slightly, indicating that she heard him but didn’t respond.

Elton was silent for a moment before speaking again: “Agnes, can you forgive me? You should know b y now that everything before was Jenny’s plan. I was just her prey. I can’t forget you, and I can’t let go of you, Agnes. I love you.”

Agnes felt like her heart was pierced by countless arrows.

Elton was a sweet talker, be had told Agnes “I love you” for ten years, and she had always taken it for g ranted and believed it deeply.

However, never before had Agnes felt such desperation and pleading in Elton’s tone.

Elton’s eyes were red, this boy she grew up with had never cried in front of her before.

Agnes looked at him firmly, unable to respond, her heart ached like it was being cut by a knife.

Elton asked, “Agnes, can we go back to the past?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

After two seconds of silence, Elton asked again, “Agnes, do you still love me?”
