Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 31

This was the first time Agnes had seen Jared in casual wear. He was always prim and proper as if he lived in a bubble.

But now, dressed in a casual hoodie with a cartoon pattern, it felt like he was a different person. Just a piece of clothing made him seem a lot more approachable like he wasn’t always on a pedestal.

Seeing Agnes staring at him, Jared asked, “What, isn’t it pretty?”

Agnes quickly replied, “It suits you well. It makes you look a lot younger.”

“You’re saying I looked old before?”

This guy always picking a fight!

“Do you still want to eat the burger?” retorted Agnes.
