Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 131

No wonder she had a bad taste in her dreams, turns out this dude is making all sorts of trouble.

And he's got the balls to drink again, didn't he learn his lesson last time?

She was so pissed off that she couldn't even hold it in, "Mr. Meyer, not only are you fighting, but you're also smoking and drinking, what's next? Are you going to start chasing skirts?"

"No way, if I wanted to do that, I would have done it years ago. Why would I wait till now?"

"Who knows? Maybe you were bored before, but now you find it interesting. Who knows what the future holds."

"Absolutely not. I'm only interested in my wife."

Ethan Meyer hugged Ines Galeana around the neck with a smile, deliberately getting close to her, "Izzy, I only had a bit of booze, didn't smoke. It might just be the smell from the private room, smell again if you don't believe me."

Ines waved her hand, gently nudging him away, mindful of his injured face. "Step back, you reek. Don't attempt to be charming in my presence; your current appearance is far from attractive," she retorted. Observing that she hadn't exerted much force in her push, Ethan smiled, perceiving that she still held concern for him. In a gleeful mood, Ethan swiftly planted a kiss on her cheek. "I'll go shower first, I won't come to you until I'm freshened up," he declared before making his way to the bathroom.

Ines shook her head helplessly, put on her slippers, and went to the living room. She found the family first aid kit, which had medicine and cotton swabs to treat bruises.

When Ethan came out, Ines was not asleep, but sitting on the bed with a serious face, clearly still mad. It was quite unusual for her to be like this.

However, he soon saw the cotton swabs and medicine in her hand, his eyes lit up, and quickly walked over to her, saying, "Thanks, Izzy."

Ines responded coldly, "Sit down."

Ethan did as he was told. Ines stood up, first wet the cotton swab with medicine, then lifted his chin with one hand, and carefully wiped the bruises on his face with the cotton swab in the other hand.

Ethan kept staring at Ines, her lips tightly pursed together, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her face. She was very serious in her movements and expressions, probably the same when she was working.

Uncomfortable under Ethan’s gaze, Ines said, "Tell me if it hurts."

Ethan laughed and said in a pleasing tone, "It doesn't hurt, you’re very gentle."

Ines glared at him, thinking that this was not going to be the end of it.

Although Ines was not happy, she was very gentle with her hands. It took her five minutes to treat his injuries, then she handed him a glass of water, "This will help you sober up."

Knowing he had done something she didn't like, Ethan obediently drank a large glass of water, then looked up at her, like a child eager for a reward.

Ignoring his look, Ines thought of something and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Ethan didn't say a word, and Ines understood from his silence that he hadn't eaten.
