Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 210

Phillip glared at Ethan with a look that could kill, growling, "Hasn't this matter been settled already? Ines mentioned it to me not long ago, and now you're bringing it up again. What are you trying to pull? Are you suspecting something?”

Ines maintained her composure, opting to stay out of the escalating discussion.

"Grandpa, I was merely inquiring without intent to provoke. No need to become so agitated," Ethan interjected, his intuition whispering of an underlying unease. During the revelation of Hunter's illness, Phillip had uttered words to Ines that bore a weightier significance. However, consumed by the intensity of the moment, Ethan had dismissed it as inconsequential. Now, as he dwelled on it further, an unsettling sensation gnawed at him.

Hunter was not someone who deserved sympathy, yet Phillip seemed to care a lot about him. That was definitely strange.

"I'm not angry, I just hate bringing up this topic again. Your older brother was my pride and joy, raised with my own two hands. His downfall was my worst nightmare, and you just have to bring it up again?"

Trenton, sitting next to him, laid a comforting hand on his back. "Dad, don't get so worked up. Ethan means well, he just doesn't want any loose ends."

"For the last time, I don't want to hear about Beasley Meyer in this house anymore." Phillip hit the table several times for emphasis.

Trenton also told Ethan, "Ethan, don't bring up this matter anymore. I've looked into what happened back then, and it was indeed an accident."

Upon hearing his father's words, Ethan said, "Alright, I won't mention it again."

Because Ethan suddenly brought up Beasley, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit tense. But it was only temporary. After so many years, their wounds have healed.

Erica said to Ines, "Izzy, get some sleep early tonight. Tomorrow, you, me, and your aunt are going to the church nearby."

Before Ines could reply, Ethan frowned and asked, "Church? Why didn't you mention this earlier?" "I didn't have time to bring it up today."

"That place is too far away, Izzy isn't up for such a strenuous journey." Ethan was clearly protective of his wife.

"Don't worry, I have more experience with this. Izzy can't overexert herself, but she still needs to get out and about. If you're still worried, you can come with us."

Ines squeezed Ethan's hand, "Let's just go with mom's plan." She felt her days lately were either spent at work or at home resting, which was getting rather dull. She wanted to go out.
