Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 165

Silvia was originally planning to head straight home, but Phillip called her and insisted she come over to the Military for dinner. Unable to refuse Phillip, she had no choice but to follow Erica and Ines home.

At this moment, Phillip was busy in the kitchen. Silvia went in to help, and Ines, not wanting to sit idle, followed suit.

Phillip was a bit surprised to see them both. "What are you two doing here? You've been out all day, take a break. I don't need your help."

"Grandpa, didn't you want to see my cooking skills? I'm here to put on a show for you," Silvia said flirtatiously.

Phillip raised an eyebrow, suddenly interested. He shooed everyone else out, leaving only Ines and Silvia. Ines didn't know much, so she washed some vegetables and picked up a few cooking tips.

But Silvia was a natural. Her cooking skills were smooth and efficient. It was clear she wasn't bluffing about her cooking skills.

Phillip, watching her, couldn't help but feel touched. "You've really grown up. Now I can rest easy knowing you can fend for yourself. When I first taught Ethan and Beasley to cook, they were so clumsy. But they gradually improved."

Ines was taken aback. She didn't realize their cooking skills were taught by Phillip. "Beasley and Ethan don't have many chances to cook at home, so naturally, they're a bit lacking. But as for Beasley's cooking, I don't know. Ethan's cooking, on the other hand, I do know. My sister and I both love his dishes," Silvia said with a smile, adding with a hint of nostalgia.

" You are a greedy cat, you only know how to eat. No wonder you've gotten so good at cooking. Otherwise, you'd be the one going hungry," Phillip teased, tapping her on the head.

Silvia's casual words and actions made Ines feel uncomfortable. She had always thought she was the luckiest woman, but Ethan had cooked for other women before, and she wasn't the only one.

Phillip was so wrapped up in his conversation with Silvia, he forgot Ines was in the kitchen. It wasn't until Ines spoke up that he realized his conversation with Silvia might be making her uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to explain.

Seeing Phillip casually mention Beasley, Ines knew he had already come to terms with it. She decided not to hold back anymore, and turned to Phillip, "Grandpa, can I ask you something?"

Phillip hesitated, feeling a sense of foreboding, but still smiled warmly, "What is it, Izzy?"

"Grandpa, did Beasley have any enemies?"

Phillip looked uncomfortable, "Why would you ask that, Izzy?"

"It's about my car accident. Ethan said there's a mysterious force preventing him from finding out the truth. These people might be related to Beasley's death. Beasley's car accident probably wasn't as simple as an accident."

Phillip was silent for a while before he said, "There's a possibility. Beasley's quick promotion affected a lot of people's interests, but it wouldn't count as a big grudge. I've looked into your car accident, Izzy, it really was just an accident. You and Ethan should stop obsessing over it."

"I can't give up, grandpa. The truth is really important to me. Some people have decided I'm the culprit. Sometimes I feel suffocated, and it hurts to think about it," Ines voiced her feelings, making herself look as pitiful as possible, while watching Phillip's reaction.
