Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 450

Agnes just couldn’t bear to stay with him.

She whispered, “Can you find your own way home? You’ve had a few drinks, don’t drive yourself. Get a designated driver or call your secretary. I need to go see my dad.”

Jared had planned to spend the night with Agnes, looking after Preston.

But as he watched Agnes walk away, he’d never felt so lost.

Earlier in the evening, Mamie had casually mentioned that Agnes might be pregnant.

To him, it was like seeing an oasis in the middle of a desert. A glimmer of hope.

If Agnes was pregnant, maybe things would change. Maybe she wouldn’t be so determined to leave him, to abandon him.

Even if it was for the sake of the baby, maybe she’d stay.

He was willing to do anything, even spend his whole life making up for the pain he caused her, just to have her stay.
