Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 309

Chapter 309

Over the next while, Jared was all tied up fixing the roof of the sheep shed.

Agnes couldn't lend much of a hand, all she could do was hold the ladder steady and pass him his tools.

But what Agnes didn't expect was that Jared patched it professionally. In less than half a day, the whole roof of the sheep shed was as good as new.

When Jared came down, he was still fresh and clean, not looking like he'd just done such heavy work at all.

Agnes looked at Jared with admiration in her eyes, "Honey, is there anything you can't do? You even know how to fix roofs!"

Jared chuckled, "Now you know how perfect your hubby is, don't you?"

This guy just couldn't take a compliment, he'd go straight to being full of himself.

But, Agnes thought, even when Jared was full of himself, he was still incredibly charming

Agnes paused for a moment, then suddenly suggested, "Why don't you go to the Lairds' and use their bathroom for a shower? They've got a water heater. I used to pop over there to use the bathroom when I came back in the past."

Jared frowned, "Isn't that a bit odd?"

Agnes replied, "Not at all. Granny and the Lairds are like family. I used to go there for meals when I came back."

Jared felt that he indeed needed a shower. He couldn't stand the smell of sheep on him, so he didn't object.

The Laird's place wasn't far from theirs, just a few minutes' walk.

Their house was two stories high, the best in the whole village.

As they walked, Agnes explained to Jared, "This house was rebuilt by Mariela. Mariela is Laird's daughter, she studied abroad and now works in a foreign company She's a stunning beauty with a great personality, the village's pride and joy."

Agnes and Jared stepped through the gate of the Laird's house.

Laird's wife, Helena, saw Agnes first and quickly rushed over with joy, "Agnes! When did you get back?"

Agnes walked over and handed her the gift she brought, "Thank you for looking after my Granny."

Helena said, "Your Granny always treated us like her own children. We were poor when we were young and ate a lot of her food. It's only right that we treat her well."

That's when Helena noticed Jared standing next to Agnes and curiously asked, "And who might this be...

Agnes quickly introduced him, "This is my husband, Jared,"

Helena was very surprised, "Agnes, you're married?"

Agnes nodded, "Yes, but we haven't had a wedding yet. When we do, you and Laird must come

Helena immediately responded, "Of course, we won't miss it."

Then, Helena led Agnes and Jared into the house, saying, "Come on in! You're eating here tonight. Lucky for us, Mariela's back too. Laird bought a lot of seafood We can all enjoy a seafood feast tonight."
