Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 295

Ines was thinking to herself, just because she didn't like it, didn't mean he couldn’t buy it.

"Or we can go shopping together when we get back. I'll buy whatever you like, otherwise I'm afraid I might get something you don't like again." Ethan said.

Upon hearing this, Ines finally couldn't help but speak up. This guy was not romantic at all when he should be. Who ever heard of a birthday present being chosen by the recipient? Wouldn't it be more sincere if he chose it himself?

It was their first birthday together after getting married. She hadn't thought about it before, but now that it had come up, of course she wanted more.

"Who says so? I think you're just making excuses. As long as it's from you, I'll love it." Ines said.

Just as Ines finished speaking, she felt a cool touch on her face. She reached up to touch it and found a blue crystal pendant lying in her palm. It was simple yet very beautiful.

A smile spread across Ines's face and she sat up, looking at Ethan with a grin, "Is this for me?"

Seeing her change in attitude, Ethan couldn't help but chuckle. Women really were fickle creatures, there was no denying it.

Ethan nodded, "You just said you'd love anything I give you. Once you put this on, you can't take it off."

As he spoke, Ethan lifted Ines's long hair and put the necklace around her neck. It suited her slender neck perfectly. Ines, lips curling into a smile, played with the necklace for a while, clearly very pleased. But remembering what had just happened, she couldn't help but reprimand Ethan, "Mr. Meyer, when did you become so naughty? You had the gift ready all along, why did you trick me into thinking you didn't prepare anything?"

"It was supposed to be a surprise. I was going to wait until midnight, but it seems I was a bit early." Ethan glanced helplessly at the time. It was five minutes to midnight.

"It doesn't have to be exactly on time." Ines couldn't help but grin. She hadn't expected him to be fussing over such a detail.

Ethan held her from behind, whispering playfully, "If I hadn't prepared a gift tonight, would you have ignored me?"

"Absolutely! Everyone else would have prepared a gift. You're my husband, it wouldn't be right if you didn't. You'd feel embarrassed too." Ines said.

"But I think all the gifts in the world can't compare to me. I'm the best gift." Ethan said.

With that, Ethan planted a kiss on Ines's neck. His fervent breath caused her to shiver slightly. Ethan was very pleased with her reaction, leaving a trail of kisses on her fair skin, trapping her.

He kissed her for a while before he lifted her up onto his lap and began to kiss her lips, invading her mouth and messing up her breath and heartbeat.

This domineering yet gentle affection was irresistible. Ines could only wrap her arms around his neck and respond.

In the quiet room, faint sounds could be heard.
