Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 643

Agnes had grown accustomed to holding back her tears.

But the sight of the bowl of noodle soup in front of her, stirred something deep within her.

Agnes often joked that Jared was a chef masquerading as a CEO.

He was a natural talent, excelling in everything he did, even in the kitchen.

Agnes managed to finish the whole bowl of noodle soup.

Her stomach felt warm and oddly comforting, despite the pain that still lingered in her heart. The most innocent in all of this was Jared, and Agnes knew she had hurt him deeply.

His transformation into a spiteful, womanizing man was likely the result of his broken heart. But life had a cruel sense of humor.
