Broken Memories Intertwined Hearts Chapter 33

Chapter 33 
The atmosphere at dinner was super chill and fun, with a bunch of different dishes, including some of Phillip’s specialties. Ines took a bite and found the taste to be really amazing 
“How is it? How’s the laste?” Phillip looked at Ines expectantly. 
Ines nodded and sincerely praised, “Yummy” 
She had already eaten a lot of stuff while shopping with Phoebe today. At this moment, she looked helplessly at the ever–growing pile of dishes on her plate. But she couldn’t refuse, so she could only eat in small bites. Suddenly, she noticed that the plate in front of her had disappeared. Ines looked up to see Ethan transferring her food to his own plate He said, “Izzy had a late lunch, so she’s not hungry yet.” 
The atmosphere at the table became a bit awkward because of his actions. Erica looked at her son in shock, then squeezed Ines’s hand affectionately. “You silly girl, if you cant eat, just tell me No need to be so restrained at home.” Ethan had a cleanliness obsession, which was no secret in the Meyer family. 
Since everyone had some drinks that night, they had to stay over. Ethan was called to the study by Phillip, while Ines stayed in Ethan’s bedroom. The decoration style of the bedroom was the same as the house in the city center, simple and somewhat cold. There were many books on the shelves, mainly about finance and accounting, as well as military books, blographies of famous people, and best–selling fashion magazines, covering a wide range of topics 
Ines casually picked up a biography, which was about a CEO of KPMG who wrote the book during the last three months of his life while battling cancer. She had read this book many times, so she flipped through it quickly. When she reached the middle, a delicate line of handwriting caught her attention. 
“When you turn around and our eyes meel, I can sense the tenderness in your eyes” 
No doubt, it was written by a woman. 
Ines couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart. But considering that the man was already 32 years old, it wasn’t strange that he had been with other women before. With this thought in mind, Ines quickly let go of the issue and continued reading. 
When Ethan came in, Ines was completely absorbed in the book. Under the orange table lamp, her long hair was casually spread around her shoulders, and the strands of hair on her forehead were tucked behind her ears. Ethan couldn’t help but hug her, resting his chin on her shoulder. 
“What are you reading? You look so serious.” Ethan said 
Ines was a bit startled, still not quite used to this level of intimacy. She shifted in his arms and said somewhat unhappily. “Can’t you make some noise when you walk? You scared me 
Ethan glanced at the book in her hand and casually said, “I got this many years ago from someone else, just flipped through it a few times, didn’t really read it.” 
“You haven’t read it?” Ines looked at him in surprise, tilting her head. She didn’t realize how close they were at the moment, and all she could think about was whether he knew about the line of text in the book. 
Ethan shook his head, smiling as he took the book from her hand and put it aside, “Not really interested. Right now, I’m only interested in one thing.” 
“What?” Ines looked at him with innocent eyes. 
“Just like this. Let’s continue what we were doing this afternoon.” Ethan didn’t give Ines time to react, and kissed her directly. 
Ines stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes, thinking of the scene they shared in the car earlier that day, her face turned red again This shy appearance was undoubtedly a huge temptation for men. 
Unlike the passionate kiss they shared in the car earlier that day, this kiss was gentle, barely touching her lips. Ines could clearly feel his eyelashes brushing against her eyes, lickling her. She could also feel his grip on her waist tightening. Ines felt as if she was drunk, all her senses disappeared, and she could only helplessly lean into his embrace, accepting his kiss 
Not feeling any resistance from her, Ethan became even happier. He pulled her hand around his neck, gradually deepening the kiss. 
Just as the two were lost in the moment, the bedroom door was pushed open. The sound from the doorway startled them, and Erica stood at the door holding a cup, her gaze a bit knowing. 
Ines’s face turned red instantly, feeling extremely shy. Ethan was a bit annoyed, pressing Ines’s face into his chest. He said helplessly to Erica, “Mom, why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Thinking about it, he was really unlucky today, being interrupted twice. 
Erica felt a bit embarrassed for disturbing her son and daughter–in–law, and laughed awkwardly, “Next time I’ll be more careful, and try not to bother you guys. You two carry on, and come have some watermelon juice later” 
Although embarrassed, Ines didn’t forget her basic manners. She mustered up the courage to lift her head from Ethan’s embrace, blushing and whispering. “Thank you For your kindness” 
“It’s fine. I like to do these little things.” Erica said. 
Erica was pleased to see her daughter–in–law and son getting along well. After speaking, she turned to leave, then suddenly said, “If you don’t have time to come down later, it’s fine” 
Ines’s forced smile almost broke, and she understood the meaning behind Erica’s words, thinking that they were up to something naughty.

As soon as Erica’s figure disappeared, Ines glared at the culprit and angrily pounded his chest a few times, “It’s all your fault, now I’ve embarrassed myself big time. Why didn’t you lock the door?” She was already caught off guard by meeting his family today. Now that her mother–in–law had seen such a scene, it was just too embarrassing. 
Ethan held her fist in his hand, gently kissing it as an apology, “It’s all because I couldn’t resist the urge. It’s my fault. Next time when we do something like this, I’ll remember to lock the door and not let anyone disturb us. If necessary, I’ll remind everyone not to come upstairs 
What did he mean by “next time” and “reminding everyone not to disturb“? What was he thinking? Ines choked up and hit him again, “You still dare to say it.” 
“Alright, I won’t say anything. Il shut my mouth.” Ethan’s face turned serious as he closed his mouth. 
Ines looked at his innocent expression, and for a moment, she didn’t know whether to be angry or amused. This man looked nothing like the noble and restrained man she had first met. 
No, he had never been restrained. What kind of restrained person would propose marriage right away?
