Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 204

Ines thought they were being dead boring, getting into this discussion. "Alright, Mr. Meyer," she said, "chill out. Let's not talk about this anymore. It's not gonna happen right now anyway."

"That's indeed an important issue. I need to seriously think about how to handle it," Ethan said, still mulling over the issue.

"Mr. Meyer, you take your sweet time with your big issues. I'm off to bed."

With that, she curled up comfortably in his arms. Ethan saw she was tired, so he put down the photo album and lay down with her.

He placed a kiss on her lips and gently positioned her under him, careful not to put pressure on her stomach.

Ines could smell a refreshing mint scent around her nose. Unable to resist, she wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his kiss. His hand wandered under her dress, exploring her skin. They both got a bit excited, but Ethan always remembered the doctor's warning - no intimacy in the first three months.

He turned to the side and held her tightly, burying his head in her neck, trying to regulate his breathing.

Ines, with her eyes closed and breathing lightly, couldn't help but chuckle, "Now you know being a dad isn't a walk in the park."

"It’s definitely not easy. It's just the start, what am I gonna do," Ethan said, sounding a bit down.

Hearing his tone, Ines couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Too late for regrets now."

"Don't get too cocky, you'll have your challenges too."

"That's a problem for future me," Ines said nonchalantly.

After a while, Ines fell asleep. Ethan, on the other hand, couldn't sleep. He helplessly shook his head, watching her peaceful breathing. Probably from now on, it would be sleepless nights for him alone.

Neither of them had the habit of turning off their phones at night. Ethan couldn't turn his off because of his job. But considering it was the weekend, Ethan put both of their phones on silent, not wanting to be woken up by calls.

But of course, some people just wouldn't let him have his way.

When nobody picked up their phones, the call was forwarded to the landline in the living room. Hearing the harsh ringing, Ethan groaned and got up from the bed, carefully moving Ines out of his arms and went to answer the call.

Seeing it was Grandpa's call, Ethan felt incredibly frustrated, "Grandpa, why are you calling so early? Can't you let me rest a bit?"

There was a pause on the other end, "It's already half past nine. I didn't disturb Ines, did I?"
