Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 450

Agnes just couldn’t bear to stay with him.

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.

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