Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 830

Jared knew that Brayden had been on edge lately, like a walking thundercloud, but he couldn’t pin down exactly why.

The moment Kerri’s name was brought up, he’d hang up the phone.

After Jared ended the call, Agnes suggested to Kerri, “Why don’t you come over tonight? Brayden’s bringing Sprague along. It’ll be a good chance for you two to hash things out.”

Kerri nodded, determination etched on her face. “I’d do anything to see Sprague. Whatever price I have to pay, even if Brayden wants to give me hell, I don’t care”
