Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 278

Ines picked up her phone and quickly texted Phoebe: [Thanks, Phoebe.]

There was a lot she wanted to say, but it all boiled down to these simple words. As soon as Ines sent the message, Phoebe called her.

"Izzy, did you cry for what happened?" Phoebe asked.

Ines gave a slight smile, "Are you referring to Ethan or yourself?"

"Both of us, of course." Phoebe said.

"Why would I cry? I'm thrilled." Ines leaned back on the couch. "Izzy, you're so boring. Shouldn't you call Ethan now and say something like, 'Thank you, you're my hero, marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life. I think I'm falling for you more and more?' You should say that to Ethan." Phoebe said.

Phoebe's tone was overly dramatic, but that only worked on men. For women, it was just annoying.

Ines felt a chill down her spine and said seriously to Phoebe, "Watch your mouth."

Phoebe sounded a bit disgruntled, "Izzy, I'm teaching you how to please a man. Men love to hear their women say these things. Don't you get it?"

"Save it for your husband." Those words were too embarrassing for her to say.

But if Phoebe hadn't brought it up, she might not have realized it. Although they had been married for a while, she was always addressed him as Ethan. There was not even a more intimate nickname.

"I won't say it to him. It's more like he should say those things to me. I'll make sure he turns into that kind of person." Ines said

"Alright, you're amazing." Phoebe laughed on the other end, then said, "Speaking of which, you need to discipline your husband. Don't let him call me in the middle of the night. Women over 25 can't pull all-nighters. Do you know what it feels like to be woken up at 3 a.m. to write an article? Do you know how sad it is for me, a single woman, to know in advance what he's about to do? Do you know what it's like to be happy for you and curse jim at the same time? I feel like I'm going schizo." Phoebe went on and on but Ines got the gist. Ethan was up and about last night while she was asleep, and she didn't realize it at all.

Turned out Phoebe knew about Ethan's plan all along. They conspired to leave her out of the loop.

"Why are you so obsessed with your sleep schedule? It's not a big deal if it gets disrupted for a day." Ines admired Phoebe's strict sleep schedule. Phoebe seemed to consider anyone who disturbed her sleep as her enemy.

"Izzy, I'm not married like you. I need to maintain my beauty before I get hitched." Phoebe grumbled.

This girl was really something. She never failed to take a jab at Ines.
