Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 154

Tim Bald. “I just had a chat with Mr. Pritchard about your wedding Now that you’ve got the marriage cer tificate sorted, let’s get the wedding done ASAP”

Jared replied, “I’ve talked this over with Agnes. We’ll have the wedding after she graduates “ This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Agnes was on the same page, considering she was still a student.

She said, “Let’s hold off on the wedding until after I graduate I’m about to be a senior, and I’m gonna be super busy”

Even though she didn’t have many classes, Agnes needed to start working on her thesis. Her research topic was set and it was super complicated. Add to that, she was also acting so there was no time to pl an a wedding

Besides, thinking about a Whitfield family wedding, it was bound to be a media circus. Agnes felt it was better to delay it if possible.

In a nutshell, she wasn’t ready yet

After mulling it over, Tim said, “If you guys have it all figured out, there’s no rush”

Preston gave a few words of advice and then left.

Agnes and Jared were staying at the Whitfield Manor tonight.

Jared was really busy and was working in the study even at night, while Agnes was flipping through a p hoto album she’d picked up from a shelf in her room.

It was all pictures of Jared as a kid. Sure enough, someone who was handsome now was also handso me as a kid.

Almost all the pictures were of Jared with Alyssa. Everyone knew Jared and his sister were super close , and she could tell from the pictures.

Jared, who’d come in unnoticed, walked over and asked, “Why are you still up? What are you looking a t?”

Agnes looked up Jared was already sitting next to her, arms around her, chin resting on her shoulder.

He looked tired, but he was still making an effort to chat with her.

Agnes said. “I’m looking at pictures of you as a kid. You were so delicate, almost like a girl.”

Jared smiled a little and said, “Are you complimenting me or making fun of me?”

“Of course I’m complimenting you.” Agnes said

Agnes pulled out a photo, probably from when Jared was five or six. He seemed to be at some event, looking very serious. Even as a kid, there was a sense of maturity in his eyes that was similar to now

Agnes said, “Give me this picture, I’ll keep it as a memento.”

Jared leaned in close to her ear and asked, “Why? Missing me already?”

Agnes blushed, and when she turned her head, her lips almost brushed his face, “I just think you were really cute as a kid”

“Okay, no need to explain I know how much you like me.” Jared said.

Agnes was speechless.

She continued to look at the pictures, asking, “Why are there only pictures of you and your sister here, no pictures of Ryder?”

At this, Jared’s brows furrowed slightly. He said, “He doesn’t like pictures, he has camera phobia.”

Camera phobia?

This was the first time Agnes had heard this strange term.

Jared said, “It’s because of something that happened when he was young. Even though it’s been many years…”

Jared’s expression turned serious. There was even a flash of guilt and pain in his eyes, as if he was los t in some past memory.

Agnes didn’t press further but changed the subject, “By the way, how did you come up with the name Oscar?”

Jared didn’t expect Agnes to suddenly change the subject and was slightly taken aback.

“I mean the Golden Retriever Agnes said.

Jared’s eyes shifted, and he casually replied, “Just a random name, no special reason.”

Before Agnes could say anything. Jared said, “It’s late, time to sleep.”

Agnes nodded, put away the album, and went to bed.
