Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 763

But there were things that Agnes didn't want Jared to meddle with.

If she let Jared solve all her problems and deal with every social interaction for her, she would never

make real friends or develop her own emotional and professional strength.

Agnes had intended to handle everything on her own.

Jared's warm breath was now close to her lips.

Just as Jared was about to kiss her, Agnes suddenly cupped his face.

Agnes began, clear and assertive, "Jared, I know you're capable of moving mountains, but this is my

life. The people in it, good and bad, I want to handle them myself. If I need help, I'll let you know. So,

promise me, you won't interfere like this anymore, okay? I'm not a child anymore, and I don't want to

live under your wing forever. I don't want to be known only as Jared's wife, do you understand?"

How could Jared not understand? Agnes had always been fiercely independent. She wanted her own

career, her own life, not just to be a vine wrapped around a sturdy oak.

She might look fragile, but she was brimming with energy. She wasn't a canary in a cage, but a seagull

capable of soaring over the ocean.

Jared couldn't bear to keep her caged. But when she flew out and encountered predators, Jared

couldn't help but intervene.

In these four years, Agnes had truly grown a lot.

Take this situation for example.

If it had been four years ago, and he had intruded into her life without telling her, Agnes would have

been furious. But now, she was able to discuss it calmly with him.

Jared said, "Call me ‘honey’, and I'll promise."

It was a familiar phrase, a familiar tone, a familiar request from four years ago.

Agnes remembered, back then, she and Jared had a secret marriage. Although they were married,

Agnes couldn't treat Jared like a normal couple would. Let alone call him honey.

So, Jared liked to tease her.

Whenever he asked for a favor, he would say, "Call me honey', and I'll help you."

Agnes remembered that she couldn't say it no matter what.

"Honey!" Agnes' voice was clear, her face full of smiles as she called out without hesitation.

Jared was slightly stunned.

Agnes reached out to pinch Jared's face, "Did you think I was still the timid girl from four years ago who

couldn't even call you honey? I've grown into a confident, irresistible woman now, you know?"

Jared's face fell, "How did you grow? And with whom?" He responded with a punishingly deep kiss.

After a while, Agnes finally pushed Jared away, "Alright, Mr. Whitfield, I think we've discussed the script

enough. We should head back now."

Jared seemed reluctant to end the discussion, "We should delve deeper when we get back. I have a

few proposals here, you can choose your favorite."

Agnes blushed instantly. Of course she knew that Jared's proposals weren't about marketing

strategies.

The two of them left together.

Their driver Tam had been waiting downstairs. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Agnes and Jared sat in the back seat of the car and drove off, and Yolanda watched all of these.

Yolanda's car was parked in the open-air parking lot outside, and she had deliberately waited for half

an hour. However, she hadn't expected Agnes to actually get into Jared's car.
