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.

Ethan laughed, "Don't worry, I locked it a long time ago."

Oddly enough, Camela hadn't knocked on the door all day, and they didn't see her when they came out. Ethan led a blushing Ines out, Ines didn't see Camela and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the scene not long ago, Ines felt both shy and annoyed; on the other hand, Ethan didn't look like a person who had been busy all night.

The table was already set with hot food.

Just as they finished eating, Camela came in from outside. It was obvious that she had gone for a walk. Seeing that they had just eaten, she couldn't help but smile.

Ines knew she must have known. She felt embarrassed to look at her.

"Izzy, you should be able to work normally tomorrow. The reporters outside have all disappeared," Camela said.

"Yes, I need to go to work tomorrow. There must be some work piled up in the company these two days."

The next day, Ethan sent Ines to the Galeana Group, Silas was already in the office, as soon as he saw them coming in, he immediately asked, "Izzy, is everything okay?"

"I'm fine, Silas, why did you come back early, wasn't it supposed to be a week? Are things over there all sorted out?" Silas nodded, "I've dealt with the most urgent matters, other relatively simple tasks have been handed over to a trustworthy person over there. You had such a big incident, I couldn't rest easy over there, I didn't expect Shirley to be so shameless. Even after running away, she distorted the facts and smeared you."
