Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 297

Once they got back to A City, their lives got busy again. They were hustling and bustling from dawn till dusk, only getting to spend time together at night.

At noon, Ethan gave Ines a ring, telling her he had a dinner party to attend in the evening and she shouldn't stay up waiting for him. She had the company's driver drop her home. Ethan didn't often attend these kinds of dinners, but once every couple of months, he couldn't avoid it. Ines, in her current position, understood and gradually got used to it. After waiting for Ethan for a while and not seeing him return, she washed up and hit the hay. She had no clue when he got back.

In the middle of the night, Ines woke up with a muscle cramp in her leg, her whole body shaking. She couldn't help but sit up.

The moment she stirred, Ethan was one step ahead. He switched on the light, and from her expression, knew something was wrong. He immediately started massaging her leg. Ines grimaced, and every time Ethan touched her, she flinched.

"Hang in there, Izzy. Camela said you're expecting twins, so your symptoms might be a bit stronger than a singleton pregnancy." Ethan said.

After a bit of massage from Ethan, Ines felt a little better. She couldn't help but ask, "When did you get back last night?"

"Somewhere between midnight and 1. How are you feeling? Any discomfort?" Ethan asked, a frown on his face.

Ines shook her head, not saying much, "I'm fine, you should get some rest too."

The next day, while sorting out Ethan's clothes, Ines found a bright red lipstick mark on his white shirt. She was stunned at first, then couldn't help but laugh.

She wasn't sure if this was an accident or someone deliberately playing a tacky prank. This kind of trope had been overdone in TV dramas, and any decent show wouldn't use it anymore. She knew what kind of man her husband was; there was no reason to make a big fuss over something so trivial.

Ethan came out of the bathroom and seeing Ines holding his shirt and laughing, he was puzzled, "What's up? Why are you laughing at my shirt?"

Ines pointed at the lipstick mark, "Someone's trying to mess with you and rattle me."

Ethan was standing a bit far and couldn't see clearly. He walked over, saw the lipstick mark and furrowed his eyebrows, "No idea when this happened."

He thought hard. There were no women at last night's dinner, and his shirt was on him the whole time. He couldn't figure out who'd have the chance.

If there was one possibility, it would be when he bumped into a woman unintentionally on his way out of the restroom. That might be when it happened.

Ines tossed the shirt lightly, and it landed perfectly on Ethan's head. She said, a bit upset, "Are you still reminiscing?"

Ethan removed the shirt from his head, pulled Ines into his arms, and kissed her face, "Mrs. Meyer, are you jelly?"

Ines looked away and said, "Well, Mr. Meyer is out there attracting other women all day, so I'm jealous. The consequences will be severe. How do you plan to appease me?"

"How about gifting myself to you?" Ethan teased, pinching her cheek.
