Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 205

Ethan was clueless as to why Ines suddenly changed her attitude, but seeing her like this, he was naturally thrilled.

Silvia, watching the two approaching from a distance, felt even more uncomfortable, but still greeted them, "Ines, Ethan, you guys finally made it, congrats."

Ines gave a faint smile, "Thanks, Silvia."

Ethan only gave a light smile towards Silvia, leaving her feeling bitter inside.

Entering the living room, Ines realized everyone was already here. Everyone's gazes were gentle, all directed towards her tummy. Feeling a bit shy, she greeted them.

Lauren Nelson noticed Ines's attention on the gifts on the coffee table and explained, "These were sent by your grandpa's friends."

"You might not know, but we've had a lot of visitors lately. These are just some of them, there's a lot more in the storage room," Erica added with a chuckle.

Phillip just came out of his room, spotted Ines, and immediately ordered Ethan, "Ethan, quickly help Izzy to the sofa."

"Grandpa, I'm not that weak. I can walk there myself."

"That's not the point."

Ines felt her status in the house had suddenly escalated, she couldn't help but whisper to Ethan, "Did my status increase just because I'm pregnant?"

Ethan nodded, "Exactly, and because of you, my status has also improved. Grandpa was really gentle when he called this morning."

"So, I'm the savior of your status."

"So just enjoy it now, you've made a huge contribution. Mr. Meyer will definitely take good care of you."

The Meyer family watched the loving couple and also felt really happy.

Ashley Meyer made her entrance slightly tardy. Spotting Ines, she dashed over with an enthusiastic clamor, eager to lay eyes on her young nephew.

Ethan stopped her, rebuking coldly, "You're grown up now, how are you still so rude? Are you asking for a beating?"

Ashley shook her head, "You don't even love your sister anymore."

Ethan looked at Ashley discontented, "Stop talking nonsense, I want a daughter."

"Got it, you're so childish."

Ashley sat down next to Ines, hugging her arm, "So, sis, is the baby behaving?"

Ines couldn't help but lightly pat her forehead, her voice low but everyone could hear, "You call your brother childish, but you're not much better. I just got pregnant, how could the baby possibly be causing trouble?"

Ashley looked at Ines, asking uncertainly, "Ines, you really don't care about Leila?"

Ines smiled, "Whether I care or not, I don't want to compete with someone who's already passed. It's pointless. As long as I know Ethan has me in his heart, that's enough."

Keen to alleviate any discomfort for Ines, Ashley prefaced her truth-bearing words with a disclaimer, "You're familiar with my brother's demeanor – typically aloof, yet he lavishes affection upon those he truly cherishes. That's the reason for his indulgence towards Silvia."

Ines nodded. She didn't know if she was overthinking, but every time she saw Silvia, she felt a bit uneasy. Instead of guessing in her heart, she might as well take this opportunity to find out for herself, "Ashley, sis wants to ask you for a favor."

"Say it, sis."

Ines shared her thoughts. Ashley agreed and jokingly said, "Your concern for my brother is deeper than I thought. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of this little thing for you, consider it done."

"You don't need to make it too obvious. I just want to do a simple test, otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy."

"But if Silvia really has other thoughts about my brother, how will you deal with it?" Ashley looked at Ines curiously.

Ines glared at Ashley, "That's something your brother needs to consider. If he can't handle it, I'll take his daughter and leave."

"Haha, that method will definitely work on my brother. He's really dependent on his wife and child now."
