Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1256

Elton couldn't help but think back to his relationship with Agnes. It seemed like he never had this kind of treatment during the years they were together.

In his memory, Agnes wasn't the type to be all sweet and clingy. She'd been practicing taekwondo since she was a kid. At school, she was the straight-A student, the class president every year. Whenever something happened among her friends, she was the first person they turned to. Agnes had a knack for solving problems. She had her own ideas and a fiercely independent personality. She wasn’t one to be swayed by others.

And that’s where Elton’s frustration stemmed from. Sometimes, he felt like he wasn't really needed in Agnes’s world. She could handle everything on her own. He always thought Agnes was just naturally like that. But after a decade of being together, he'd never seen this softer, more vulnerable side of her — a side she seemed to reserve for another man now. It was ironic because she was stronger than ever now.

Elton felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
