Broken Memories Intertwined Hearts Chapter 94

Chapter 94 
Days later, Phillip’s old comrades came to visit one by one. An energetic old man, radiating zeal, showed up in the evening, and Noel was with him. So Ines could guess who he was – Noel’s grandfather. 
The two old men snorted coldly at each other as soon as they met. Noel was speechless. “Come on, grandpas, you’re both getting on in years. Why are you still acting so immature?” 
“Little rascal, have you found a girlfriend yet?” Robin Yates glared at Noel. 
“Yeah, when are you going to bring your girl over? Look at our Ethan here, he quickly brought me such a wonderful granddaughter–in–law. Beautiful and smart.” Phillip said with a smile. 
Ines listened to Phillip’s praise. For some reason, she felt there was a hint of schadenfreude in Phillip’s laughter, and Robin was both jealous and annoyed. 
Ethan whispered in her ear: “Grandpa was often teased by Robin because of me. He won’t let this opportunity slip.” 
‘Is it okay for them to do this?” Ines was slightly worried. 
‘Don’t worry. They have been bickering like this for decades. Their relationship has only grown stronger. Look, Robin knew he would be teased, yet he still came to visit. If Robin didn’t come, Grandpa would go to the Yates. Ethan explained. 
Ines found it amusing. She thought the two men’s way of interacting was quite interesting. 
Phillip watched Ethan and Ines whispering to each other with satisfaction and waved them over. “Ethan, Izzy, come over and chat with us.” 
Hearing this, Ines smiled. She knew Phillip was doing it on purpose. Most of the time, he called Ethan a jerk and rarely used _his real name. 
Ethan took Ines’s hand and they sat down opposite the two old men. 
Phillip started bragging again: “What do you think, Robin? How’s my granddaughter–in–law?” 
Robin’s face wasn’t looking very good, thinking, “Phillip is actually asking such a childish question.” 
At the moment, he seemed to forget that he himself was incredibly childish. 
Robin glanced at Ines and Ethan, and although he wouldn’t admit it verbally, he did approve of Ines in his heart. 
Ethan was really more capable than his own grandson, with good character and taste. 
Ethan was always well–behaved and acted quickly once he made up his mind. He heard they got married on a whim, which was quite impressive. 
He reluctantly nodded, grudgingly answering, “Not bad.” 
“What do you mean by ‘not bad‘? Isn’t Izzy a superior choice compared to the past beaus of your grandson?” Phillip observed the altering expressions on his friend’s face with a sense of gratification and satisfaction. 
Robin’s eyebrows raised high, his tone also elevated, “So what? 
Phillip shrugged, smiling like a sly fox, unusually soft–spoken, “No big deal, I just happened to have a great–grandson before you. You’re always a step behind me in these big things.” 
“Don’t speak too soon, we’ll see who has a great–grandson first!” Robin snorted. 
Phillip was shocked, “Oh dear, Robin, you can’t think like that. The so–called genetic inheritance is important. If Noel’s -illegitimate children were born to those women he’s been with, oh dear, their quality is definitely not up to par. It will affect 
your family’s genes. That won’t work! Besides, if your future granddaughter–in–law knows you’ve been okay with those illegitimate children, she will surely blame you!” 
Seeing Phillip like this, the smile on Ines’s lips spread even more. She finally figured out who Ethan got his annoying habits from–a good part was inherited from his grandpa. 
Ines had very beautiful eyes. When she smiled, they were like a bright crescent moon. 
Robin glanced at the striking granddaughter–in–law positioned before him, and his ire increased the more he contemplated the situation. He shot his grandson several reproachful glares. Noel felt himself teetering on the brink of a breakdown. He had foreseen this outcome. Had it not been for certain queries he wished to pose to Ines, he would never have voluntarily 
subjected himself to such reprimand. 
Noel turned to the two old men and said, “Grandpas, please spare me.” 
“You can’t get a wife, and now you’re making excuses?” The two old men were in sync, saying in unison. 
Noel ruffled his hair and promised, “Grandpa, I will surely get a wife this year.” 
*Better remember what you just said.” Robin glared at his grandson again, then looked at Ines. “Izzy, do you know any eligible girls? Maybe you could introduce one to this jerk of a grandson.” 
“Robin, that’s not fair. Noel is such a playboy. You’re asking Izzy to introduce a girlfriend to him. It’s not only unfair to Izzy but also unfair to the girl. I won’t agree to Izzy being the middleman.” 
Robin was furious. He used to think it was a good thing that his grandson was so popular with women. Now he found it embarrassing. It was a disgrace. 
“Grandpa, I’ve turned over a new leaf. There are no women around me now.” Although Noel was speaking to Robin, he was looking at Ines. 
Ines was somewhat puzzled, while Ethan raised his eyebrows, presumably guessing something. 
“Ethan, can I talk to your wife for a bit? I have some questions for her.” Noel looked at Ethan with a pleasing expression. 
“Only ten minutes.” Ethan said coldly. 
Ines followed Noel to the yard. Noel got straight to the point: “Ines, I know that you and Phoebe are best friends. I want to know about her situation.” 
“How do you know Phoebe?” Ines couldn’t hide her surprise. She hadn’t introduced them yet. How did they know each other? 
Noel dropped his usual jokey demeanor and nodded seriously, “Yeah, I know her, and I’m trying to win her over. Now, I need your help.” Ines stared at Noel, at a loss for words. Truth be told, she barely knew Noel, as they were only meeting for the second time. Though Ethan vouched for him being a decent bloke, she still had her doubts, considering this involved her best friend.
