Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 313

Jared was just staring out the window, not saying a word, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

Agnes felt a bit awkward, knowing Jared’s snobbish character in public.

So, she covered for Jared, “He doesn’t mean anything by it, he was born that way, Mariela, please

don’t mind it.”

Jared shot Agnes a glance.

In a short while, they reached Starfall Village

Today, Starfall Village was buzzing like never before

Even though it’s in the middle of nowhere, its boat race was super famous, drawing crowds from other

cities just to catch the action.

The boat race took place on Starfall River, with water so clear you could see your own reflection.

Though the race hadn’t started yet, the banks of Starfall River were already jam-packed with people.

Agnes was a bit bummed, “With all these people, we’re not gonna find a decent spot

Manela chimed in, “I know a place that was not too crowded with great view

Agnes was surprised to find that Mariela led them to the riverbank where the race was about to start.

The view was incredible, they could even see the faces of the racers clearly.

But the reason this place wasn’t buzzing with people was because of a broken spot on the riverbank

that hadn’t been fixed yet.

Watching the race from here, it was easy to take a tumble into the water when it’s crowded.

Still, there were a few brave souls around, though not many.

Mariela warned, “This is probably the best spot, but just watch your step. The riverbank is busted. It’s

easy to fall into the river.”

Agnes was thrilled. She bolted to the front, hollering with the crowd.

Then, she turned to Jared, “Jared, look at those guys, they’re ripped, all of them have six pack abs.”

Jared frowned, “Are they really that great?”

Agnes stuck her tongue out teasingly, “Don’t be such a wet blanket. I’m just taking a look, not gonna

touch them.”

This woman still wanted to touch them?

Jared pinched Agnes” face, “No more looking, let’s go home.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Agnes quickly held onto Jared’s hand, pleading for forgiveness, “I’m sorry, I’m just here for the race,

okay?”

Jared released his grip. Mariela stood nearby, watching the two of them interact. They were like a

couple in love, which was admirable.

Agnes had lived a life of privilege since she was little. Every time she visited the countryside,

everything felt fresh and exciting, like the chicks and ducks were new

toys.

She said she loved the countryside because it was quiet and cozy.

But Mariela, who had grown tired of this place, knew otherwise.

Agnes found the chicks and ducks cute, probably because she didn’t have to clean up after them.

She loved the homemade food, probably because she was used to fancy, exotic dishes.

Mariela had been a hardworking student since she was little. She had one goal in mind to get out of the

countryside and become someone people looked up to.

In fact, she had achieved that, she now had a high-paying, respectable job.

But that wasn’t enough.

She had only managed to escape the countryside but couldn’t break into high society.

Even though she was a top performer at work, she was still working for someone else.

Her only way out was with a little help

She was excellent and beautiful and many rich businessmen had expressed interest in her

Although she was outwardly friendly, she didn’t really fancy these fat, nch people.

Until she laid her eyes on Jared for the first time…

Mariela admitted, she was attracted to this man with a unique elitist charm

The Boat Race started quickly.
