Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Turned out, her Granny was all twisted about Jared because of her Dad.

Her Granny used to be really sweet on Dad too. Agnes remembered, they always had a ton of fresh veggies at

home, personally delivered from Granny’s farm. She’d always say homegrown veggies are the healthiest.

But then, her Mum passed away all of a sudden. It hit her Granny hard.

She couldn’t forgive Preston for the death of her daughter

At first, Preston would come down to the countryside to visit, even tried to get her Granny to move in with him in

the city, but she’d refuse to see him every time. These past few years Preston visited less and less.

*But Jared is different,” Agnes said. “You can’t hold a grudge against him because of Dad. They’re two different

people.”

But her Granny looked pretty bummed out. “The better looking the man, the less reliable and responsible he is. I

don’t want you going down the same road as your mother.”

Agnes tried to explain, but her Granny was stubborn.

Suddenly, Agnes regretted not stopping Jared from coming to the countryside.

Her shoes were a bit tight, so Granny suggested a little alteration.

While Granny was snipping away at the shoes, Agnes sneaked out of the room.

Jared was in the kitchen doing the dishes.

He’d taken off his gray sweater and was only wearing a white shirt.

It was the dead of winter, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Agnes rushed over at once. “Take a break. I’ll do the dishes.”

Jared had driven for four hours today and was already very tired. Agnes felt really sorry

But Jared rolled up his sleeves and gently pushed Agnes aside. “It’s okay if Granny caught me lazing around, she’d

probably like me even less.”

“Tim really sorry” Agnes said guiltily. “You’re taking responsibility for my dad

“What do you mean?” Jared asked.

Agnes told him about her conversation with Granny.

Jared looked thoughtful.

“Maybe you should just leave tomorrow,” Agnes suggested. “Granny’s a stubborn old lady. You might have a rough

time here.”

As Jared continued with the dishes, he said, “If she’s got a bad impression of me, then I should stick around and

change her mind. She’s your Granny and she’s important to you, so she’s important to me too.”

Agnes was moved by Jared’s words.

“Alright, don’t disturbi me doing the dishes here. You can go to the room with grandma

“No, I want to stay here with you. I can give you a massage.”

Agnes stood behind Jared, insisting on giving him a massage.

A smile tugged at the corner of Jared’s mouth. “Don’t be in such a rush to give me a massage. I’ll give you plenty of

chances to show off tonight.”

Agnes hadn’t thought much of it, but seeing Jared’s smirk, she suddenly got the hint

She blurted out, “I’m not dealing with you anymore,” and ran out of the room blushin
