Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 4

"Nowadays, flash marriages are becoming more common, and they often lead to divorce. Getting a divorce is like buying groceries. No wonder some people are banned from divorce before their kids reach a certain age. Men have it easy. They can just walk away. They can find a pretty young wife as long as they have the money. Mostly women just get hurt; they have to raise the kids, and it affects their whole life.

Izzy, don't blame me for nagging, but you gotta be careful about this..."-

Ines was getting a headache as she listened. If her aunt knew that she was married to a man out of the blue, would she faint from anger?

"Auntie, let's allow things to happen naturally, especially regarding feelings."

"I know that. I'm not worried. Your uncle and I are watching out for you. Just don't do anything terrible."

"You know Izzy's character. She’s always been very careful with what she does. How could she possibly do anything crazy? Just relax," Zander said.

Ines felt the air around her get thicker, making it hard for her to breathe. She quickly finished her breakfast and left home. She couldn’t mention her marriage now. She could still hear her aunt and uncle's voices as she ran out the door.

"This child ran away so fast. Does she think I nag too much?"

"You do nag a lot."

Before Ines reached the bus stop, she saw the No. 12 bus parked at the platform, so she had to run to it. There were still empty seats because it was the starting station. Ines found a seat near the back.

As soon as she sat down, her phone rang in her bag. The name "Ethan" flashed on the screen. She was at a loss for words.
