Heartstrings On Fire ( Jared and Anita )

Chapter 220 

Agnes was completely taken aback because the man standing in front of her was Brayden Simonds! 

So… so… 

Kerri was the adopted daughter of the Simonds family, the one everyone in town knew about but no one had ever actually seen? 

Agnes could hardly believe it. 

Kerri had already walked up to Agnes, looking a little surprised she asked, “You guys know each other?” 

Agnes nodded, “I went to his birthday party once with Jared.” 

Kerri frowned, “Let’s go upstairs, don’t mind him.” 

Halfway up, they were stopped by Brayden who looked like he’d just had a bath, wearing a grey bathrobe. 

His hair was wet, and his face was somewhat stern. 

He said to Kerri, “What on earth is going on?” 

Kerri replied, “Brayden, Agnes is my friend, she will be staying here temporarily, it’s none of your business. Also, you better not snitch or I’ll toss your stuff 

out.” 

Brayden frowned, “Don’t be so stubborn, you’re making things difficult for me.” 

Brayden turned to Agnes, “Agnes, is it okay for you to spend the night outside like this? Does Jared know you’re here?” 

Agnes looked a bit scared, “Am I disturbing you guys? Maybe I should just go.” 

Agnes could tell. 

Although Kerri and Brayden seemed to bicker all the time, they were husband and wife, living under the same roof. 

What their relationship was exactly, was hard to say. 

Her being here, would inevitably cause disturbances. 

But Kerri grabbed Agnes’s hand, “Where would you go if you leave now? Don’t mind him, it’s my house, you can stay as long as you want.” 

With that, she dragged Agnes upstairs. 

Brayden frowned and went back to his own room. 

Kerri prepared a guest room, fully equipped. 

She brought over some new clothes, “You’re about my size, you can wear my clothes for now.” 

Agnes still felt a bit awkward, “I’m still causing you trouble.” 

“What trouble? You have no idea how happy I am to have you here. I can’t stand Brayden, living under the same roof with him is driving me crazy” 

Agnes laughed, “Do you really dislike him that much?” 

Kerri quickly said, “Absolutely, we’re like oil and water, we can’t be together for more than three minutes without fighting.” 

Agnes laughed, “But when he tried to kiss you just now, you didn’t dodge.” 

“Well… I was caught off guard. Normally, I would’ve fought with him.” 

“Okay, okay, no more excuses. Actually, Brayden is a nice guy. He’s Jared’s friend. I’ve heard Jared mention him before. He may seem a bit wild on the outside, but he’s not a player. At his last birthday party, even though there were lots of beautiful women, none of them were by his side” 

Kerri said, “You don’t need to defend him. Anyway, there’s no future for us, we’ll be getting a divorce soon.” 

Agnes didn’t know much about their situation, so she couldn’t offer 

any advice. 

Was there a secret behind their peaceful marriage? 

Agnes sighed deeply. “Anyway, thank you for letting me stay here.” 

*Just relax and make yourself at home. But I can’t guarantee that Brayden won’t tell Jared.”
