Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 279

"Were you terrified?" Ethan leaned his head on her neck.

Ines didn't answer. She just leaned into his arms and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" "I rushed back to report my work to you. You must have seen the press conference. Don't you want to see me? Don't you have anything to say to me?" Ethan said, making her turn around, then gently holding her petite face, looking at her seriously, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.

Ines felt her heart beat faster. This feeling of heartbeat made her body tremble slightly. For a moment, she couldn't even utter a word. Her tongue seemed tied up, and she could only slightly turn her head away.

But Ethan was unwilling to let her avoid his gaze. He once again gently turned her head around, making her look straight at him.

"Didn't I move you?" He asked.

Ines was speechless. She felt that Ethan was not the same as when they had just got married. Now he would so directly ask her for a reward.

"What do you want me to say?" Ines looked straight into his eyes, frowning.

Ethan gently touched her face, "I want to know what you were thinking at that time."

Ines thought for a moment, then seriously said, "I felt that you were like a big tree, sheltering me from the wind and rain." Her tone sounded very serious, not like she was joking at all.

Hearing this, Ethan was obviously shocked by Ines' answer. His face turned complex for a moment. He pinched her nose in a flustered manner, "Are you sure your Spanish is up to par?" Ines laughed, and lightly hit him, "Why not investigate properly when we got married? I'm a science student. I just chose a major in university that both science and arts students can study." She had been a top student since childhood, but her only weakness was Spanish.

Even after so many years, she was still the same.

Compared with Phoebe, her scores were far worse. Phoebe was the exact opposite of her. Apart from Spanish, all other subjects were terrible.

Ethan couldn't help but chuckle. Hearing his laughter, Ines laughed as well.

After a while, Ines repeated, "I really feel that you are like a big tree. You can shelter me from the wind and rain. This is my real thought at that time."

"Hasn't anyone told you that hiding under a tree from the rain is the most dangerous?"

"Oh, are you deliberately trying to pick on me?" Ines deliberately put on a stern face.

"Izzy, you really are not funny at all."

"You are now a nationally famous person. If you want a fun wife, go find one outside. Why did you come back?" Ines said sarcastically.

"What do other people's spouses have to do with me. I only care about my own partner."

With those words, Ethan hugged her waist and passionately kissed her.
