Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 9

Ines's sleepiness was completely gone when she heard the familiar voice. She stared at the man behind her aunt with wide eyes. Wasn't he the one who promised to visit last night? Didn't they agree on him coming over at noon? Why did he show up at her doorstep so early? Ines glanced down at her pajamas. Her hair was messy; she quickly closed the door. She felt scared.

Ethan touched his nose and smiled slightly. Rita hesitated for a moment. She felt angry but couldn't deny that Ines had good taste. The guy was handsome and had a good temperament. No wonder Ines hadn't been dating; she set her standards too high, and none of the previous guys were up to par.

Rita was usually a bit hot-tempered. She had been a teacher for decades and was good-mannered and kind to others. "Mr. Meyer, please take a seat on the sofa. Izzy will be out soon."

"Auntie, Izzy has been working overtime lately. Let her rest for a bit longer."

Rita glanced at Ethan but didn't say anything.

Ines paced around her room angrily, filled with bitterness. It was so embarrassing. The man outside was so calm and confident. Her aunt called him Mr. Meyer, but he deliberately ignored the boundaries it implied and shamelessly called Rita "auntie."

And he called her Izzy, which gave her goosebumps.
