Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 33

The atmosphere at dinner was super chill and fun, with a bunch of different dishes, including some of Phillip's specialties. Ines took a bite and found the taste to be really amazing.

"How is it? How's the taste?" Phillip looked at Ines expectantly.

Ines nodded and sincerely praised, "Yummy."

She had already eaten a lot of stuff while shopping with Phoebe today. At this moment, she looked helplessly at the ever-growing pile of dishes on her plate. But she couldn't refuse, so she could only eat in small bites. Suddenly, she noticed that the plate in front of her had disappeared. Ines looked up to see Ethan transferring her food to his own plate. He said, "Izzy had a late lunch, so she's not hungry yet."

The atmosphere at the table became a bit awkward because of his actions. Erica looked at her son in shock, then squeezed Ines's hand affectionately, "You silly girl, if you can't eat, just tell me. No need to be so restrained at home." Ethan had a cleanliness obsession, which was no secret in the Meyer family.

Since everyone had some drinks that night, they had to stay over. Ethan was called to the study by Phillip, while Ines stayed in Ethan's bedroom. The decoration style of the bedroom was the same as the house in the city center, simple and somewhat cold. There were many books on the shelves, mainly about finance and accounting, as well as military books, biographies of famous people, and best-selling fashion magazines, covering a wide range of topics.

Ines casually picked up a biography, which was about a CEO of KPMG who wrote the book during the last three months of his life while battling cancer. She had read this book many times, so she flipped through it quickly. When she reached the middle, a delicate line of handwriting caught her attention.

“When you turn around and our eyes meet, I can sense the tenderness in your eyes.”

No doubt, it was written by a woman.

Ines couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. But considering that the man was already 32 years old, it wasn't strange that he had been with other women before. With this thought in mind, Ines quickly let go of the issue and continued reading.

When Ethan came in, Ines was completely absorbed in the book. Under the orange table lamp, her long hair was casually spread around her shoulders, and the strands of hair on her forehead were tucked behind her ears. Ethan couldn't help but hug her, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"What are you reading? You look so serious." Ethan said.

Ines was a bit startled, still not quite used to this level of intimacy. She shifted in his arms and said somewhat unhappily, "Can't you make some noise when you walk? You scared me."

Ethan glanced at the book in her hand and casually said, "I got this many years ago from someone else, just flipped through it a few times, didn't really read it."

"You haven't read it?" Ines looked at him in surprise, tilting her head. She didn't realize how close they were at the moment, and all she could think about was whether he knew about the line of text in the book.

Ethan shook his head, smiling as he took the book from her hand and put it aside, "Not really interested. Right now, I'm only interested in one thing."

"What?" Ines looked at him with innocent eyes.
