Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 231

After Ines left the Galeana family's house, she shot Ethan a sharp glare. Ethan looked at her in confusion, "What happened, did someone piss you off?"

Ines threw her diary at Ethan, glaring at him angrily, "Giving my stuff to others without my consent, Ethan, you've really let me down!"

Ethan furrowed his brows, wrapping his arms around Ines's waist, "Izzy, don't be like that, don't be disappointed in me."

"But you did let me down."

"Izzy, it's already awkward enough for me being caught between you two. Whatever he owes you, you can get back at him, but I'm different, I'm your husband, I need to keep a cool head for your sake. He's already talked to me a few times, I can't just ignore it."

"Then you should've asked me."

"If I asked, would you have agreed?"

"Of course not."

"So I can't ask you."

Ines didn't want to argue with Ethan over such a small matter, so she said helplessly: "Ethan, I don't want to talk to you tonight, can you stay away from me?"

Ethan stroked his chin, "Are you sure you can sleep without me holding you?"

Ines glared at Ethan, seriously warning, "Ethan, don't push me, I'd rather have insomnia than keep this habit. Habits can be formed and they can be broken." Ethan tightened his hold on Ines, whispering, "Alright, I apologize, it's my fault. I won't touch your stuff without discussing it with you from now on. I was too presumptuous, thinking that since we're a couple, what's yours is mine, and overlooked that there should still be boundaries between a husband and wife."

Hearing this, Ines stared at him speechlessly, her face still tight, she said in a low voice: "Let go of me."

"Izzy, don’t be angry, okay? If you're upset, it'll affect our babies too. They're still so young; we can't let them be affected."

At this, Ines stopped talking. Ethan laughed, not feeling the slightest bit guilty for bringing their children into the matter.

After Ines and Ethan left, Emma was called into the study by Hunter.

Emma looked at Hunter in confusion, "Dad, you called for me?"

"Sit down." Hunter pointed to the chair opposite him.

Emma obediently sat down.
