Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 321

Agnes was a bit lost in the moment.

She widened her eyes, staring at the handsome face in front of her.

But in no time, Jared had her all dizzy with his kiss.

She could smell his good scent, and Jared went from being bossy at first to being gentle. They were smooching under the starry sky.

The evening breeze blew, but they weren’t cold.

A bonfire was in front of them, the popping sound of popcorn echoed in the air.

Sheep bleated in the distance every now and then, as if even the air was filled with sweetness.

That was the starry sky in Agnes’ memory, the sweetest kiss she ever had.
