Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 705

Agnes wasn’t truly heartbroken.

It’s just a subtle tang of bitterness in her heart that she couldn’t quite put into words.

She shouldn’t have held out hope.

And Jared wasn’t to blame.

In Agnes‘ memory, even if Jared had a string of lovers, he was never one to abandon someone heartlessly.

In that moment, Agnes made a surprising decision.

After four years apart, she didn’t want to return to the past.

These days, the pain they both felt was due to the struggle of whether to abandon their current lives and return to the past.

But they both knew that going back after four years was nearly impossible.

So why not continue with their current lives?

Without having to abandon everything, perhaps in the future, because of their child, their lives would intersect again.

But that would merely be a point of intersection.

The fact that they no longer harbor resentment towards each other is a blessing, isn’t it?

Perhaps in the future, she could calmly have a cup of coffee and a chat with Jared and the people around him.
