Heartstrings on Fire

hapter 106
The news released a photo taken by a passerby at a hospital and uploaded online.
The photo showed Justin hugged her tightly, his face filled with worry and concern, while she seemed to be in a deep sleep.
The news reports were complicated, nad her identity was also exposed and she was labeled as the “The Princess of Starlight
International Group”
Justin, being an artist from the Starlight International Group, dating the Grand Princess of the same group seemed reasonable.
So, when the news broke, no one questioned its authenticity.
On the contrary, Justin’s fans couldn’t handle the truth, they were heartbroken, and the forums were buzzing like a beehive
The topic made it to the hot headlines, with fans’ cries echoing everywhere.
Agnes, after reading the news, let out a deep sigh. This was serious trouble.
Just as she turned off the TV, she saw Jared standing behind her, his gaze fixed on the TV.
Agnes jumped with surprise. “When did you get here? You didn’t make a sound!”
Jared said, “Just when the news was talking about you two living together in secret.”
H
Agnes was speechless. This man did it on purpose, knowing that the news was fake, but deliberately teasing her. Agnes rolled
her eyes, noticing that it was already nine in the morning
She asked, “Aren’t you going to work today?”
She knew he was always busy and, to her knowledge, Jared never took a day off.
Ignoring her question, Jared simply said, “Come and have breakfast”
Only then did Agnes notice the wooden box in Jared’s hands. It looked fancy
A surprised Agnes asked, “Did you make it yourself?”
Jared snorted. “Bought it.”
Well, okay then.....
The box contained Agnes’s favorite chicken soup.
After a taste, Agnes exaggerated, “Did you apprentice with the chef from this shop? The tastes are exactly the same”
Jared, noticing the smirk on Agnes’s face, replied calmly. “Agnes, are you trying to tease me?”
Agnes went back to her porridge, feeling a strange sense of joy.
He obviously made it himself, but he wouldn’t admit it.
Agnes ate a lot, but Jared hadn’t eaten.
When Agnes looked up, she found Jared’s gaze on her face
His deep eyes, coupled with his unbeatable handsome face, were a deadly combination for any woman.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, Agnes asked, “Why aren’t you eating?*
Jared suddenly said, ‘My dear wife, let’s make it public.”
Agnes choked on the porridge she just put in her mouth.
Jared had never affectionately called her ‘dear wife before. The few times he did were either jokes or leases.
In their marriage, Agnes never felt they were equals.
The seven-year age difference was one thing, but the most important thing was their life experiences.
Jared had reached the peak of his life, while Agnes was just an ordinary person
Most of the time, Agnes felt like she was a junior, a child, a subordinate, or even like a pet in front of Jared.
Therefore, Jared suddenly called her his wife, which made Agnes unable to accept it for a while. Agnes couldn’t stop coughing,
her eyes watering
Jared, with a serious face, helped Agnes pat her back to ease her coughing.
But her reaction to his suggestion of going public was bigger than he expected
What was he to her? A boyfriend she was ashamed of?
For the first time, Jared felt both angry and defeated.
