Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 364

pter 364 

Ivan’s senses and self-control were totally crushed by intense visual attraction and uncontrollable desire. 

Over the years, he has never had feelings for any woman, Ironically, he is 28 this year, but has never been intimately involved with a woman. Not even a first kiss. So how could he withstand such temption? 

This person in front of him, was the one who had been hidden deep in his heart for twenty years. 

Ivan was trembling all over. Every move Mamie made seemed to be taking his life. 

Here was the high floor of the building. Next to it, an entire wall was a floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains were not drawn. Moonlight was sprinkled on the floor. 

The moon was bright, the room was beautiful………….. 

After Agnes retumed, she was still a bit uneasy. But at least she had handed Mamin over to Ivan herself. As long as Mamie was with Ivan, no matter what happened, Agnes thought she didn’t have to worry too much 

When Agnes returned to the hotel, Jared hadn’t returned yet. He had started to get busy again. Sometimes he came back even later than Agnes. When Jared returned, Agnes had just finished her bath, 

Seeing his tired look, Agnes felt sorry for him: “Why don’t you just stay at the Grandeur Mirage Manor, it takes you nearly an hour to drive here every time.” Jared had come to S City to help Alyssa morganize the new company. But it took an hour to get there from here. 

Agnes felt a twinge of guilt for the time Jared had spent on the journey. But before she could dwell on it, Jared, fresh from his trip, enveloped her in a warm embrace. Fresh from her bath, her calming scent filled the air. Jared buried his face in her damp hair, his voice muffled, “You’re trying to send me away already?” She wanted to explain she was only concerned for him, but he playfully continued, I’ll head back soon then, just as you want.” 

Laughing, Agnes nudged him. “You’re acting like a child, Jared. Of course I want you here. I’m just worried about you being exhausted. Why must you be so dramatic?” 

He quirked an eyebrow, his lips twitching into a smirk. “Really now?” 

“Of course it’s true.” 

“So, you don’t want to part with me.” 

Agnes hugged Jared’s waist, “Of course I don’t want to part with you, my heart ached when I heard you were leaving” 

Jared nodded satisfied: “Don’t worry, I’ll come and see you once every three days after I go back.” 

Agnes was shocked. He wasn’t afraid of getting sick from all the airplane rides, right? 

“You really don’t need to strain yourself like this, Agnes began, her voice soft with concern. “With your packed schedule, perhaps we could meet once a month?” 

“Once a month?” Jared’s voice cooled noticeably. 

Panicking a little, Agnes hurriedly suggested, “Maybe every two weeks? Or weekly?” 

Jared’s expression grew even more stern. “So, you don’t want to see me?” 

“It’s not that. I just worry about you stretching yourself too thin, Agnes explained. 

“I can work while I’m on the plane,” Jared said, his voice even “We’ll do it this way” 

Recognizing his resolute stance, Agnes refrained from further protest, fearing she might inadvertently upset him. Instead, she tiptoed to plant a gentle kiss on his cheek. “Darling, you’re too good to me.” 

Jared, gazing intently at her radiant face, murmured. “Just remember that.” Even a brief three-day separation from her made him restless.
