Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 78

Ines was taken aback. This wasn't some cheesy romantic proposal, but the most ordinary and warm promise: to be with her for life. It was the promise that every couple made in front of the priest when they stepped into the alter.

At this moment, a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before surged in her heart.

After dinner, they went to see a movie as planned, which was a comedy.

The audience around them were laughing their heads off, but the two of them, who had a high threshold for humor, didn't even crack a smile. They had no idea what was so funny but still, they watched it until the end.

When they walked out of the cinema, they both started laughing simultaneously, feeling like they had just sat through two hours of nonsense.

Later, they went for a walk by the river, until they were tired and went home.

Ines had thought that such a deliberate date would be awkward, but it turned out surprisingly well, judging from the satisfied smile on her face.

Ines fell asleep in the car. After carrying her into the house, her phone in her bag rang again.

Ethan immediately picked up. The person on the other end of the line stopped when they heard a man's voice, only speaking when Ethan was about to hang up.

“I'm the butler of the Galeana family. Could I speak to Ms. Ines?" said Silas.

“My wife is asleep. Whatever it is, you can tell me," said Ethan coldly. The thought of them taking her back to the Galeana family against her will, making her go through so much, made him angry.

If it weren't for the fact that Ines still had some affection for them, he wouldn't even bother communicating with them and would just deal with it his own way. Silas had spent most of his life by Hunter's side and had met many distinguished people, but the young voice on the phone, even through the line, gave him an inexplicable pressure. He steadied himself and said, “Ms. Ines left her phone and bag at the Galeana family. I was wondering when she would be free so I could return them to her."

“No need. Please tell Mr. Galeana that since he didn't want this daughter five years ago, he should let go of her now. She's my wife now. Don't take her away again without my consent, or I don't know what I'll do. I mean what I say." After saying this, Ethan hung up the phone.

“Hello? Hello..."

Silas called out twice, but all he heard was the hang-up tone. He had put the call on speaker, so Hunter, who was standing next to him, heard everything clearly.

Hunter couldn't help but slam the table and raise his voice, “This arrogant man, how dare he threaten me. What on earth did Ines see in him? Why would she marry someone like this?"

“Chairman, I think the man Ms. Ines married is not an ordinary person," said Silas. Some people exude an aura of respect just from their tone and attitude. Without a doubt, Ethan was one of them. “You don't have to tell me that. I know," Hunter said in a deep voice. If the guy wasn't something special, how could he not find out anything about him? Just from this fact, he knew that the guy wasn't someone to be underestimated. Plus, he addressed him as Mr. Galeana, clearly showing his audacity even after knowing his identity.

“What should we do now? It seems that Ms. Ines has decided not to come back to the Galeana family. She's so stubborn, it's going to be a problem."

Hunter snorted dismissively, “We'll see who's more stubborn." That was his daughter, whom he had watched grow up. He didn't believe that he couldn't handle her.

Ethan turned around and saw Ines standing behind him, quietly looking at him.
