Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 268

Ines had a solid sleep through the night; she woke up the next morning charged and ready. After breakfast, Camela left early. Erica also headed out quite early, so when they woke up, it was just the two of them in the house. Ines checked the time and it was 9 in the morning, they did have a bit of a lie-in.

There was still piping hot oatmeal in the cooker. Ethan served a bowl and placed a plate of sour radish in front of Ines. It was something Camela had prepared specially for her; it was delicious but might be a bit too sour for the others.

The sight of the food made Ines's mouth water. She started eating, blowing on the hot food. Ethan couldn't help but chuckle at her childlike enthusiasm, then he turned to heat up some cold buns in the microwave.

When he returned, Ines had already eaten half her oatmeal and finished the radish. Ethan served her some more.

"Thanks," said Ines, eating and talking at the same time.

Ethan thought his wife was really easy to satisfy, she never fussed over food. Even the simplest dishes, she would eat with gusto, as if it was the most delicious food in the world.

Ines noticed Ethan hadn't started eating yet, she glanced up at him to see him looking at her affectionately, a smile playing on his lips.

"Mr. Meyer, you better start your breakfast. We've still got work to do at the company," Ines reminded him.

Ethan smiled and began eating.

By the time they reached the Galeana Group, it was already ten. The work they planned to finish in the morning was delayed, so they could only order takeouts for lunch and continued working till three. They took a break in the lounge and didn't leave until five.

Ines was thinking about her spicy chicken. They went to the supermarket together. Ethan had one hand on Ines and the other pushing the shopping cart. All dressed up in his suit and shiny shoes, looking protective of his wife, he was quite the spectacle in the supermarket.

Many people were looking at them. Ines noticed and couldn't help but lightly tug at Ethan's sleeve, whispering, "Ethan, I just realized, it feels really good to be envied by others."

"You cheeky thing," Ethan thought to himself. She used to be shy and uncomfortable with public affection, but now she seemed to enjoy it.

After they got the ingredients for the spicy chicken, Ines dragged Ethan to the snack section. Ethan looked at Ines curiously, "You don't usually snack, do you?"

Ines blushed, she didn't know if other pregnant women had such drastic changes in their tastes. She usually didn't like snacks, but she found herself craving for some recently.

"Mr. Meyer, you're right, I don't usually snack. But your little princess and prince want some, aren't you going to help them pick some?" Ines said, pointing to her belly.

Ethan put down the shopping cart, one hand around her slim waist, the other gently rubbing her belly, he asked seriously, "My little princess, whatever you want to eat, just tell me and I'll get it for you."

Ines blushed at his sudden gesture, lightly pushing him away, "Ethan, what are you doing? People are watching."
