Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 308

Chapter 308

The rooster's crow was unusually crisp this moming

Sunlight seeped through the window, landing on Agnes's face.

Agnes rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Just as she turned her head, she saw Jared looking at her, like he'd been awake for a while now.

Agnes was a bit taken aback, then asked, "Did you not sleep well?"

Jared's sleep quality has always been poor. He's super sensitive to his surroundings. On such a simple and cramped bed, he might not have slept all night. Agnes immediately felt a mix of guilt and pity.

Jared gently touched Agnes's face: "As long as you're by my side, I can get used to anywhere."

Jared's voice was still raspy from the morning, sounding incredibly sexy.

Agnes took the initiative to kiss him, then looked at him like a kitten would.

To Jared, this was undoubtedly a temptation.

Without hesitation, he kissed her back.

Agnes panicked and said, "Hey, didn't we already last night?"

"Mrs. Whitfield, you seem to underestimate your husband's capabilities."

Just as Agnes was trying to push him away, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Grandma's voice came from outside, "Agnes, come out for breakfast."

Agnes quickly pushed Jared away: "Grandma will replace out! Let's go have breakfast first."

Jared looked extremely disappointed. He buried his face in Agnes's neck and mumbled like a child, "I was just about to have my breakfast..."

After washing up, they sat at a small table in the yard for breakfast.

The winter sun shone warmly on them, and the lambs in the sheepfold were waking up and starting to eat.

The air here was completely different from the city, fresh and clean.

Agnes turned her head and said, "Life in the countryside isn't too shabby. When we are old, we could choose a place surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, grow some corn and vegetables, and keep a cat and a dog. Isn't that lovely?"

Jared chuckled, "Sure, the environment here is great, but facilities are outdated. It would be better if it could be developed into a resort"

Agnes watched Jared looking around, already starting his business planning, and teased, "You're such a businessman through and through."

After breakfast, Grandma came over

She handed Jared a pile of wooden planks: "The roof of the sheepfold is broken. It leaks when it rains. You should fix it today, make sure it's done before dark"

Agnes protested, "Grandma, if you keep this up, I'll go back to the city tomorrow"

The old lady just gave Agnes a glance, "He's a man, shouldn't he be the one to fix it?"

Agnes said, "Can't Laird just fix it? I'll give him some cigarettes to express my appreciation."

Laird was Grandma's neighbor, and he always looked out for her. Agnes was very grateful for him and would always bring him gifts when she visited

Grandma was slightly displeased, "Always asking others for help, it's embarrassing. Besides, don't we have a ready helper now?"

Jared just smiled faintly, "Alright, F'll fix it. No need to ask anyone else."
