Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 262

When the office was left with only the two of them, Ethan chuckled, "Do you really want to let her have it?"

"Dad didn't want us to hurt each other. If that's his wish, I'll do my best to fulfill it. But my attitude towards her will depend on her actions. As long as she behaves well, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones and live in peace with her."

"Yeah, that's the right thing to do," Ethan said, grinning.

He liked her personality: strong yet gentle, not easily forgiving others on request. She had her own way of handling relationships.

Ines gave a bitter smile, and couldn't help but ask a question that had been on her mind, "Ethan, do you value your children more than your wife?"

Upon hearing this, Ethan frowned, "Why would you ask that?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on this issue, nothing more," Ines smiled at him and explained earnestly.

Ethan thought for a moment, then said, "No, I probably will never be a father like him. These things can't be generalized, everyone's experiences shape the way they handle things. I didn't have a childhood like his, I don't place too much importance on fatherly love. If something like this were to happen to me, I definitely wouldn't bring an illegitimate child home, I would completely ignore them."

"Isn't that a bit too cruel?"

"I don't care. If I must choose between my wife and my child, my wife will always be my first choice. I won't hurt my wife for a daughter who suddenly appears. No matter what happens, my wife will always be my number one." He's not that noble of a person, if he had to hurt one party, he would never choose to hurt his wife.

Ethan's expression was resolute, there wasn't a hint of joking. Getting such an answer, Ines was speechless for a moment.

In the following days, Ethan proved to her through his actions that what he had said was not empty words, he truly put her first.

"I won't pretend to be profound and only act without speaking. I can keep silent on insignificant matters, but anything that could affect our relationship, I'll definitely speak out," Ethan said casually.

Hunter's fatherly love was too profound, although not wrong, it sometimes caused problems.

Ines understood he was referring to Hunter doing many things for her behind the scenes, but never speaking about it.

At noon, Ethan received a call from Alan Lin, saying there was a new development in the case of Hunter's fall. The police only allowed the two of them to go, no one else was allowed to be informed.

Ines and Ethan rushed to the police station.

"Please sit down," Alan Lin invited them to sit.

"Officer Lin, have you found any new clues?" Ethan asked.
