Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 75

"Ethan." Ines, her eyes red, was at a loss for words, so she just softly called his name.

The better he treated her, the more wayward she felt. On one hand she was enjoying his kindness, on the other hand, she was making an unreasonable request, asking him not to love her.

Ethan held Ines tightly, "Mmm, I'm here, remember my name, let it be your instinctive reaction."

"Don't be so nice to me, I don't deserve you, I might not be able to give you what you want," Ines choked out.

"Don't talk like that, you're my wife, of course I should treat you well. Or do you want me to be nice to other women?"

"No," Ines immediately responded, the thought of him being nice to another woman made her feel suffocated.

Ethan watched as she slightly pursed her lips, her small eyes stubbornly defiant, he couldn't help but smile softly, "Silly girl."

How could he possibly be nice to other women, after all these years, it was her who awakened his heart that had long been frozen. He thought he would spend his life alone, but he didn't expect that he would fall for a woman, making him uncontrollably want to treat her well.

Whether it was her mischievous side or her stubborn and obstinate side, he liked them all.

Ethan spent the entire day at home with Ines, even Ines's repeated assurances that she could take care of herself didn't dissuade Ethan from going to work. Eventually, Ethan even grandly declared, "Mrs. Meyer, as my grandpa said, our Meyer family isn't so poor that we can't afford to eat, there's no need for me to work so hard."

"Excuses, you just don't want to go to work, huh?" Despite saying this, Ines felt a wave of sweetness in her heart. She naturally knew that he was trying to make her happy.

With his company, it seemed as though yesterday's sadness was gradually fading.

Ethan gently rubbed his chin on top of her head, a gleam of mischief in his eyes, "Oops, Mrs. Meyer has figured me out." He was cooking while she helped. After dinner, they went to bed early. Ethan didn't go to his study, but leaned against the headboard, working on his laptop on his lap. Ines curled up on the other side of the bed, using her cold feet to warm herself against his leg, holding a tablet and reading a web novel that was recommended to her by Kelly a few days ago. The plot was so appealing that she couldn't stop reading, much more exciting than the current domestic dramas.

This was a lifestyle she had never thought of before, she once thought that young people reading novels in bed was very decadent, but it felt pretty good to experience it once in a while.

Keeping the same posture for a long time can be uncomfortable, so Ines would move around occasionally. Suddenly, she heard Ethan's hoarse voice, "Izzy, if you keep moving, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to control myself."

She looked at Ethan in confusion, and when she saw the flicker of desire in his eyes, she immediately behaved and muttered, "Bad guy." After being together for so long, they could understand each other's intentions with just one look.

Ethan didn't care, he put down his laptop, and in the instant that Ines's eyes widened, he leaned in, swallowing her gasps in a kiss.

His hot lips and tongue descended, his kiss heavy and urgent. Ines clutched at his clothes, tilting her head back slightly, her eyes filled with seductive allure. Even though they had been intimate many times before, she still couldn't help but feel her heart pound and her nerves on edge whenever he kissed her like this.
