Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 270

"You'd better keep your word, Ethan. If I find out you're backpedaling, you'll be in hot water!" Ines warned, shooting him a stern look.

Ethan felt a pang of unfairness. This girl didn't want to handle Phillip and dumped the problem on him. So, he helped out, and now she was not pleased and started questioning his way of handling things.

"Izzy, you're becoming more and more bossy." Ethan said, a mix of helplessness and amusement in his voice.

Ines just scoffed, "I'm just trying to get a feel for how to be a badass boss."

Ethan couldn't help but laugh, "You've got quite an imagination."

Because it was time to start preparing the meal, Ethan nudged Ines out of the kitchen. To prevent the smoke from choking her, he closed the kitchen door. Ines took off her shoes and laid down on the couch, not bothering to turn on the TV. She just quietly gazed at the ceiling with a satisfied smile.

Ethan cooked two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Ines was very satisfied with the meal. After she finished, she lounged on the couch, patting her noticeably rounder belly and said, "You two definitely take after your godmother. All foodies!"

After cleaning up the dishes. Ethan looked at Ines, who was sprawled lazily on the couch, and couldn't resist reaching out his hand, grinning, " Mr. Meyer formally invites you to take a walk with him. Would you do him the honor?"

Ines gently placed her hand in his, "Seeing as Mr. Meyer has been on his best behavior lately, I accept."

Ethan pulled Ines up. The neighborhood was well landscaped, so they didn't walk far. They just strolled around hand in hand for a bit before they stopped at some exercise equipment. Ines sat down on a bench, chin in hand, watching Ethan use the exercise equipment.

She finally remembered. The gym at home had been converted into Camela's bedroom, and Ethan hadn't had the time to work out at night recently.

"Ethan, when will our house be ready?" Ines asked.

"It should be done soon, but we can't move in right away. There will be harmful materials inside that need some time to dissipate." Ethan said.

"You haven't been working out recently. Will your physical condition decline?" Ines asked.

Ethan laughed, stepping down from the parallel bars and wrapping his arm around her, "No, I've only not been working out these past few days. It won't have an impact."

After they had walked around a bit more, they returned home. Ines felt much more comfortable compared to after dinner, although her legs were a bit sore. She held onto Ethan as they walked home. After taking a shower, Ethan pulled a book off the shelf and said he wanted to do some prenatal education for their children. When Ines glanced at the book, she couldn't help laughing. The book Ethan had chosen wasn't a storybook, but a fun economics book that used simple examples to explain complicated economic principles.

"Ethan, let's forget about this book. We'll buy some suitable storybooks for them later. The one you have is too complicated and not suitable for them." Ines said.
