Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 274

As soon as he got home, Ethan locked himself in the study to organize a meeting for the tech department of the Meyer Group on his computer.

Feeling helpless, Ines could only make him a cup of coffee in the kitchen and bring it to him in the study. Ethan gave her hand a pat and comforted, "Izzy, don't sweat it. I got this. You go chill out for a bit."

Ines nodded with a smile, "Alright, I know. I'll go watch TV while you sort things out." She left the study, but instead of heading to the living room to watch TV, she went to the kitchen. By now it was afternoon, their morning had been consumed by a piece of news and they had hardly eaten anything. Now that things were quiet, Ines felt a bit peckish. Seeing Ethan busy, she decided to whip up something for herself.

Although her cooking skills were nothing to write home about, she could manage a simple stew.

There was leftover beef from last night in the fridge, and she swiftly rustled up a tomato beef stew with what she had on hand. She ladled it into two bowls and the delicious aroma filled the room. Ines took a deep whiff and thought it smelled pretty good.

Just as Ines was setting the bowls of stew on the dining table, Ethan emerged from his study. He caught sight of the food, his eyes lit up, and he came over to the enticing stew. He couldn't help but ask with a grin, "Hungry?"

Ines nodded, "Yeah, I am."

Ethan gave her cheek a playful pinch, "Well, you better sit down and eat then." Ines smiled and pushed one of the bowls towards him, "You too, it's past lunchtime."

Despite being in a bind herself, she still looked out for Ethan. Ethan felt touched as he looked at her. She always said she couldn't do anything for him. What he needed wasn't her skills, but this warm concern.

He thought back to his stomach issues. Since their marriage, he only had one flare-up. And he had been fine ever since, without even a minor discomfort. This was all thanks to her.

Ethan took a bite and complimented, "This is good, Mrs. Meyer's cooking skills have improved."

Ines gave a slight smile, knowing that the flavor was mostly due to the high-quality beef, "If you like it, eat up."

Ethan nodded while eating, "Today's an exception, I won't nag. But you can't just barge into the kitchen and cook in the future. You're pregnant now, if you're hungry just tell me. No matter how busy I am, I'll find time to whip up something."

The kitchen was smoky. Although the floor was cleaned daily, there was no anti-slip mat, making it unsafe.

"I get it, I'll be careful." Ines assured earnestly.

Seeing her attitude, Ethan didn't push it further. Otherwise, he might get on her nerves.

"What did you discuss with the tech team at the Meyer Group?" Ines asked.

"I alerted them to work overtime and keep tabs on online news. If there's any false report about you, they'll delete it immediately to prevent things from getting worse." Ethan said.
