Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 72

Agnes was completely flabbergasted. Her mind went blank for a moment, then it hit her.

She never quite understood why a guy like Jared would marry her. They didn’t know each other, and it was just a drunken encourfter that brought them together.

She nodded.

“We’ll meet in front of city hall this afternoon,” said Jared.

And just like that, Agnes and Jared became husband and wife.

At that time, Agnes was utterly disappointed in love because of Elton and Jenny. She had also lost her virginity. She didn’t care who she married and didn’t realize then that the man she married was a big shot.
