Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 574

Agnes stared straight at Ryder.

Unconsciously, Agnes averted her gaze.

“Making amends for Alyssa” was something Jared used to say.

Even though they were both Alyssa’s biological children, Agnes didn’t have the same struggle and conflict towards Ryder as she did towards Jared.
