Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 111

"Well, from a diet perspective, Izzy is not picky overall, but she's a veggie lover, especially leafy greens. If she has pasta, she always likes to pile on the veggies and broth." Ethan said.

Ines paused for a second, then realized what he was referring to. These were indeed her favorites. Ethan chuckled, then continued, "As for personality, Izzy is quite principled. She might come off as casual, but she tends to keep things to herself. She loves her work, partly due to a lack of security, and partly because she can't stand being idle. But luckily, she has her own way of self-regulation. So, no matter how complex a problem is, after she's done overthinking, she'll give herself some pep talk. Overall, she's pretty chill."

Take this "runaway" incident, for example. It was basically his fault for not providing enough security, which made her feel that he might change his attitude towards her because of this.

But ultimately, she chose to give him the initiative. This showed her sense of responsibility, and that she understood the profound meaning of the word "marriage".

Her not-so-perfect but rational personality was something he couldn't resist.

Actually, he didn't blame her at all. After all, they hadn't been married for long. It was only natural that she couldn't fully trust him in such a situation. "Oh, by the way, Izzy has a bit of OCD in daily life. For instance, when hanging clothes, the hangers all have to face the same direction. When baking, she likes everything neatly arranged. Plus, she is particularly fond of rose scent, her body wash, shampoo, skincare products, you name it, all have to be rose-scented." Ethan said.

Ines looked at Ethan with surprise, her eyes filled with emotion. Everything he said was on point, even some details she hadn't noticed herself.

Ines didn’t know how to react but said, "Ethan, you're so thoughtful."

"That's because I care about you a lot." Ethan said.

Ines laughed, "You're such a smooth talker."

"But Izzy, you seem to be overthinking a bit lately." Ethan said.

"Maybe it's that time of the month." She had been feeling a bit unstable emotionally these past few days, easily getting irritated.

Ethan was taken aback and raised an eyebrow, "What time of the month? Are we expecting anyone to visit us?"

"Pfft." Ines couldn't help but laugh out loud. Did this man ever have a romantic relationship before? How could he not even know about something as basic as the menstrual cycle? "Ethan, I'm talking about the menstrual cycle, you know? It's those few days when women experience emotional fluctuations." Ines added.

Ethan shook his head gently and said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Meyer is still not humorous."

Ines’s smile suddenly froze, and she looked at Ethan angrily, “Are you teasing me?”

Ethan helplessly spread his hands and casually replied, "I do know this basic common knowledge."

“Mr. Meyer, you are just so bad!” Ines couldn’t help but raise her hand to hit Ethan. This man was simply too wicked, and yet he had the audacity to act all serious and claim to be someone he clearly wasn’t. It was hard for anyone to believe him.

Ethan grasped her finger and gently kissed it against his lips, causing Ines to react sensitively, flinching slightly.

A hint of a smile flickered in his eyes as he held her waist and pressed his lips onto hers, gradually deepening the kiss. He whispered softly in her ear, "Izzy, let's have a daughter."

Seeing Naomi today, he wanted more than ever a little girl who looked like Izzy.

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's not up to me. It depends on you." Ines's voice was shaky, but she still managed to say it with a blush.

"Then, let's have a few until we get a daughter." Ethan said.

Ines twitched her lips, grumbling, "Ethan, I'm your wife, not a machine. I only want two. If we have too many, I'm afraid we won't have enough energy to love them equally, and they might blame us."

"Let's talk about it later. Now, let's proceed to our 'mandatory family course'." Ethan said.

Ines was no longer an innocent girl; she knew full well what he meant by 'mandatory family course'. Her cheeks turned crimson. As Ethan's hot kiss descended again, his hand began to wander on her body. Ines responded to his kiss by wrapping her arms around his neck. Her initiative was the best catalyst. Ethan's movements became somewhat rushed, and soon he had stripped her naked.

But at that moment, Ines suddenly felt a warm flow under her. Realizing that her period had arrived, she pushed Ethan away.

Ethan, however, was too engrossed to care. As he continued to kiss her, he mumbled, "Izzy, we can't stop now."

Ines couldn't help but laugh, knowing that her words would have no effect at this point. As expected, in a short while, she saw Ethan looking at her with a dejected expression, reluctantly pulling away from her. Seeing him like this, Ines couldn't help but smile even more, "Mr. Meyer, you should take a break. I'm afraid I can't keep up with you."

Ethan pinched her nose, "I'll let you off for now, but we'll make up for it later."

Ethan went to the bathroom, and it was a while before he came out. As soon as he got into bed, Ines felt a chill. Clearly, he had taken a cold shower.

She rolled into his arms, feeling a bit guilty. She found a comfortable position in his arms and touched his face, "Are you okay?"

Ethan held her tightly, not saying a word. After a while, he released her, saying gloomily, "Izzy, you should stay away from me tonight."

Ines was taken aback, "Why? Are you mad? I can't control my period."

"Silly girl, why would I be mad about that? I'm just worried I won't be able to control myself." Ethan said.

"But I can't sleep if I'm not in your arms." Ines blurted out without thinking, her face turning red after the words left her mouth.

Ethan's eyes lit up; he pulled her into his arms again. It was rare to hear her speak so sincerely. Even if he couldn't sleep well tonight, he still wanted to hold her. Lying in his arms, Ines could feel his body tension.
