Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 197

The Galeana and Meyer families live not too far from each other. After work, Ethan went straight to pick up Izzy. As soon as she walked in the door, she immediately kicked off her high heels, sat on the couch, and started rubbing her calves. She let out a sigh, "People really are lazy. I've only been off work for a month and I already feel out of sync. I'm beat, like totally drained."

Ethan came over and gently massaged her shoulders, "Yeah, it's a bit tough getting back into the swing of things after a break. You'll feel better once you get used to it again."

Izzy nodded and comfortably leaned back on the couch, enjoying Ethan's massage. She laughed and asked, "Ethan, did you learn how to give massages yourself? It's really nice."

"Yep, you're the first one to experience it."

"Oh, I'm so honored to be your first." Izzy said with a hint of coyness in her voice.

After a while, Ethan realized Izzy had actually dozed off on the couch. He carefully picked her up and put her in bed.

He sighed. She was always so dedicated and gave everything her all. Once she started working, she was completely invested.

She had already exhausted herself after just one day back at work, and he could only imagine what the future held.

By the time Ethan was done cooking, it was already 7:30. He walked into the bedroom and saw that Izzy was still asleep. He couldn't help but gently pat her cheek, "Izzy, wake up. Time to eat."

Izzy opened her eyes, "How did I fall asleep? What time is it?”

“It’s half past seven. Eat something before you go back to sleep."

At his words, Izzy sat up suddenly, moving so quickly that she hit Ethan's nose. She winced in pain, "Your body's so hard, even your nose?”

Ethan looked at her and laughed, "You're the one who got up too quickly." He noticed that she was always mature and calm in front of others, but behind closed doors, she was a completely different person.

"It's half past seven, we should eat quickly. You can't neglect your stomach."

"Okay, okay. Let's get up, Mrs. Meyer."

After dinner, Izzy went to bed early. Ethan held her in his arms, even if he had other ideas, he couldn't bear to see her working so hard.

The next day, Izzy went to the Galeana family company early. When she arrived at the office, Silas was also there. "Ms. Galeana, why are you here so early?"

"I didn't finish some documents yesterday, so I came early to continue."

Shortly after, Izzy received a phone call. Although she hadn't saved the number, the caller ID showed it was Aelston, and she immediately knew it was Hunter.

Silas saw that Izzy hadn't answered the call and reminded her, "Ms. Galeana, it's the chairman calling."

Izzy muttered, "I know." She wasn't sure what to say to him, so she didn't want to answer the call.

"Ms. Galeana, you should answer it. The chairman might have something important to tell you, probably about work." Silas suggested.

Izzy thought for a moment and eventually answered the call. However, there was no sound from the other end. Izzy was getting impatient, "Start talking or I'm hanging up."
