Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 88

Emma felt really hard done by. Even though she'd been back with the Galeana family for years now, she never really got Hunter's love. His heart had always been set on Ines, that had never changed. "Dad, we're both your daughters, and I'm the product of your love with mom. But to you, there's only Ines. Even when she makes serious mistakes, she gets your forgiveness. But no matter what I do, it's always wrong. You think everything I want is too much. Even when it comes to my wedding with Aiden, you can just postpone it. Dad, you're so unfair!"

Hunter was downright steaming. He thought he'd been good to this daughter, even if he wasn't super affectionate — she hadn't exactly grown up by his side.

He couldn't believe this was how she saw him. Her usual good behavior was just a front — this was what she really thought. "Don't forget who brought you out from our hometown, who's been providing for you. As for the wedding delay, that's on you. You managed to snatch him up with some tricks, but you can't hold his heart. If Aiden doesn't willingly want to get married, should I force him? Are you going to be happy in a marriage like that?"

Silas chimed in, "Emma, the chairman's just looking out for you."

Emma turned her head, "I don't believe it. In his heart, Ines is always first, I'll always be second."

Silas sighed and shook his head. Emma was too stubborn, she was in too deep.

"If that's what you want, then fine. But if you're unhappy later, don't blame me."

Hunter was beyond pissed. This daughter was hopeless.

He wouldn't get involved anymore. She could deal with the consequences herself.

The next day, when Ines woke up, her body immediately started to ache all over. She was familiar with this feeling. Maybe because she was so into it last night, she experienced a kind of pleasure she'd never had before, so much so that she couldn't help but cry, begging him to let her go.

Thinking about last night, Ines just wanted to crawl into a hole. What on earth had she said in her embarrassment? After getting out of the bathroom, breakfast was already set on the table. It was clearly takeout, and Ethan was bringing two cups of milk from the kitchen. Seeing Ines looking at the breakfast, he gave a knowing smile, "I woke up a bit late today, so I didn't have time to cook. I had to buy from outside."

Ines felt a bit flustered, and simply nodded, pulling out a chair to start eating. Ethan waking up late was unheard of. She knew better than anyone how regular his schedule was, regardless of how late he slept, or whether it was cloudy or raining outside, he always got up on time.

And she knew exactly why he woke up late — they'd gone wild last night, not stopping until 3 in the morning.

Upon her morning arrival at the firm, Ines was promptly summoned into Jaime's office. She didn't need to speculate to realize it was tied to the events of the previous night. Nursing a throbbing headache, she was not in the mood for any preferential treatment on account of her connection with Ethan.

"Ines, you're here. Come have a seat."
