Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 68

The next day was business as usual, with Izzy oversleeping again.

By the time she stumbled down the stairs, the family was already having breakfast. As soon as they heard her footsteps, they all turned to look at her with mysterious smiles plastered across their faces. Izzy felt a bit awkward but tried to tough it out and continued down the stairs.

"Izzy, come down for breakfast. Don't let my sweet grandchild starve," the old man's voice rang out loudly and firmly.

The mention of "sweet grandchild" made Izzy wobble a bit, almost losing her balance. She held onto the handrail, slowly making her way down.

Rita was taken aback, looking at Izzy in disbelief. "Izzy, are you pregnant? How come you didn't tell me about such a big deal?" Was her late-night snack last night because she was pregnant?

Izzy gave a helpless shake of her head towards Rita, then blushing, she sat down at the table. She scrunched up her nose and whispered to her grandfather, "Grandpa, what's this about a sweet grandchild?" a hint of annoyance slipping into her voice. Perhaps because there were fewer girls in the family, Phillip tended to spoil them. Seeing Izzy's cute demeanor, the old man couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes fixed on her belly as if she really did have a baby inside. After a while, he explained, "I meant a future grandchild. You and Ethan are so 'lovey-dovey', it's only a matter of time before you have kids."

Izzy finally understood Phillip's words and her face turned an even deeper red. "Grandpa."

"Alright, Grandpa, let's eat," Ethan broke in after seeing Izzy's shy look.

"You little rascal, always playing devil's advocate," the old man glared at Ethan, deciding not to tease Izzy anymore.

Erica and Rita exchanged a glance, both with smiles on their faces.

Over the weekend, Ethan and Izzy accompanied Rita and Zander to a small village near the river close to City A for a visit.

Izzy walked arm in arm with Rita and Zander. Ethan, dressed in casual clothes, followed behind them like a photographer, with his camera hanging around his neck. He would occasionally lift his camera to capture candid shots of the people in the distance.

Ethan noticed that Izzy seemed a bit stiff when being photographed, so candid shots yielded the best results. If Lucas saw Ethan now, he would probably be shocked.

Izzy knew that Ethan was intentionally creating opportunities for her to chat with her aunt and uncle.
