Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 254

Ines couldn't help but feel a bit down because of the heavy notebook in her hand, but the smile blossomed on her face as she thought about the resolved management issue at the Galeana Group.

"Ethan, let's skip lunch at home today and just grab something outside, it'll save us the hassle of going back. We'll have Dane bring Uncle and Auntie to meet us later."

Ethan looked at her, knowing full well she must be craving something special. Her diet at home was strictly controlled by Camela, and seeing her so excited, Ethan agreed, "What do you fancy?"

Ines replied with a grin, "There's a new pizza place downtown, let's go there."

Ethan thought it was a good idea, so he didn't object.

Ines was so happy she tiptoed to plant a kiss on his cheek. Ethan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Ines turned to see Aiden, Emma, and Silas coming out from the Galeana family's place, her face flushing instantly.

Ethan chuckled and asked Silas, "Heading to the office now, Silas?"

"No, I'm off to the airport. I've got some urgent business at the branch office that can't wait. Oh, by the way, I might be gone for four or five days, so I'll need you guys to handle things at the company." Silas said with a smile.

Ethan nodded, "No problem, Izzy and I will keep an eye on things. You just focus on your business."

Emma, having witnessed Ines' earlier display of affection, felt a pang of bitterness. She and Aiden never had such interactions. If she tried, Aiden would either be indifferent or cold as ice.

Seeing Ines a bit embarrassed, Ethan refrained from saying more and just led her to the car.

Silas turned to Emma once more, "Ms. Emma, why don't you rest a bit before heading to the office? You're pregnant, you shouldn't overwork yourself."

Emma shook her head, "Silas, you're no longer the Galeana family's butler, and my father has passed away. You don't need to call me Ms. Emma anymore, just Emma is fine."

Silas nodded, "Alright, just take care of yourself. Izzy isn't one to nitpick. As long as you don't cause her trouble, she won't be harsh on you. Just do your job without worrying about anything else."

Emma nodded and left with Aiden.

Silas looked at Emma now and felt a sense of relief. It seemed that this incident had made her grow up a lot, no longer as impulsive as before.

He hoped that her maturity wasn't temporary, but a genuine desire to start anew and live up to the chairman's expectations.

Once in the car, Ines grumbled to Ethan, "Why do I feel like I'm jinxed? I always get caught doing these things."

Ethan watched her pout and shook his head with a chuckle, "It's not a big deal."

"I disagree, I need to be more careful. No more public displays of affection." Ines said seriously.
