Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 293

After taking a few photos, Ethan handed the camera over to Phoebe, who was sitting restlessly beside him. "Let me take some pictures of you and Izzy. We don't often come out to play, so let's not waste this opportunity," she said.

Ethan smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Ashley knew when to be playful and when to be quiet. Seeing Phoebe take the camera from Ethan, she understood her intentions and let go of Izzy.

Izzy was momentarily stunned, but Ethan had already embraced her from behind. As she inhaled his familiar scent, her lips involuntarily curved upwards, unable to express her satisfied emotions in words. She leaned back lightly against his body, a feeling of complete reliance and trust.

Ethan's large hand gently encircled her waist, and his usually cold facial features seemed especially gentle.

Phoebe understood Izzy very well and, seeing the curve of her lips, could somewhat guess at her emotions. She immediately pressed the shutter button, capturing the moment.

Although Ethan and Izzy hadn't intentionally posed for the photo, the sight of two people in love standing together, even with just a glance or a small movement, made for a heartwarming scene.

Phoebe, as the photographer, was a bit at a loss. She crouched, stood, and even lay down in various poses to take pictures of the couple. Enhanced by the incomparable natural scenery around them, the effect was surprisingly good.

Most men didn't like taking photos, but Ethan eventually came over to take a group photo.

Afterwards, they all sat together and chatted. Ashley looked through the photos on the camera and couldn't help but exclaim, "Looking at the photos I took, I realized how much of a difference there is between me and Izzy. Izzy, why do you look even more lovely in my brother's arms when you're smiling?"

Ashley's words drew the attention of everyone present, and Izzy's face blushed slightly. "That's because Phoebe's photography skills are good," she said.

Phoebe's job sometimes required her to take photographs. Although she still had a ways to go compared to professional photographers, she was definitely better than Ethan, who was just an amateur.

Phoebe smiled but didn't say anything, and Ethan stroked Izzy's hair and said lightly, "It's okay, I'll improve slowly in the future."

Izzy's face grew even redder, and she pressed her whole face against Ethan's arm.

After taking the photos, they went straight up the mountain. The hot springs here were all natural, with pools halfway up the mountain and at the summit. The ones at the foot of the mountain were mostly public pools, which were quite large. Everyone was a bit peeved and didn't like too many people, so they went straight up the mountain.

During the weekends, there were always many people who came here to enjoy the hot springs. In the end, there were only three small pools left. The six of them had to share, two people per pool.

Ethan needed to keep an eye on Ines, so he naturally chose a pool. Noel originally wanted to share a pool with Phoebe, but both Phoebe and Ethan glared at him. He had no choice but to go find Aaron.

Ines couldn't help but laugh, feeling sorry for Noel. Most women would have given in by now, but he happened to meet Phoebe, a girl who liked to tease.

"What's the problem with Ethan? Why is he glaring at me? I'm not interested in Ines." Noel complained as he got out of the pool.
