Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1070

Agnes went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of dumplings, her favorite: pork and wild greens. The fresh aroma of the wild greens lingered in her mouth with each bite. As her stomach gradually filled, Agnes felt her body energize. Jared had always been the one making sacrifices for her. This time, no matter what, she had to be brave. After all, it wasn’t just about the two of them; it also concerned the fate of The Tim Group and countless families.

Agnes finished the bowl in one go and then went back to her room to sleep. She set an alarm, but she couldn’t sleep the entire night.

Agnes woke up very early. She took a shower, cooked herself breakfast, and after eating, she took extra care in her appearance, applying a light makeup before heading out.

It was early spring, and the weather wasn’t too cold anymore. The weather today was exceptionally good. Agnes hailed a cab to the Willowbrook Town Hall, timing her arrival perfectly at 9 AM. Ryder was already waiting at the entrance.

Ryder was very pleased to see Agnes and quickly walked over. He was dressed impeccably in a suit and tie, with a white shirt underneath. His hair seemed meticulously groomed, and he looked very spirited. His face, already handsome, seemed even more so today, with a pair of unusually gentle eyes. The sunlight on his slightly smiling face reminded Agnes of the young man in a white shirt standing under the basketball hoop on their school playground.

But time had changed so much. Many things could never go back to the way they were.

Ryder walked up to Agnes and said, “Agnes, you’re here.”

Agnes’s expression was cool, and she merely responded with a faint “Hmm.” Ryder, however, looked intently at her and said, “Agnes, you look beautiful today.”
