Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 151

"Of course, I'm helping Ethan prevent wolves. You better not have any ideas about Izzy. Ethan finally found someone he truly likes. But, it might be worthwhile if being a detective can make money."

"You girl, why is your heart so biased? Have I ever treated you worse than Ethan? You never say a kind word about me."

"That's not the same. No matter how nice you are, you're not my brother. I have to stand on Ethan’s side. If you want a girlfriend, I can hook you up, but you absolutely cannot have inappropriate thoughts about Izzy, got it?"

"So, are you threatening me now?"

"Absolutely! If you dare to mess things up, I'll be the first to make you pay!" Ashley growled.

Ines didn't want to go home and face the cold, so she went directly to the Meyer Group.

Ethan was in a meeting, so she sneaked into the restroom. The bed in the restroom still had Ethan's unique scent. It was so comforting that she fell asleep without realizing it. Until Ethan came to wake her.

"When did you get here?"

"In the afternoon. I've been here for an hour or two. I met up with Hunter at noon."

Ethan furrowed slightly, "How did it go?"

"We argued again. He was already mad at Silas when I got there. I just couldn't control my emotions." Ines regretted it. She intended to have a good talk with Hunter, but it ended like this.

“The two of you have very similar personalities, and when you meet each other, you'll be on fire." Ethan said helplessly. Ines was like a porcupine, hurting others with her spikes until they had earned forgiven her.

"By the way, how's the expert you contacted a while ago? Is he coming to A City?"

"Don't worry. I've arranged it with him. He'll be in A City next week. Even if he can't cure, Allowing him to live for a few more years should still be possible."

Just then, Ines's phone rang. Even without the contact saved, she knew it was Silas. Thinking about how she left the Galeana Group, she dared not answer the call.

"Who's calling?" Ethan asked, puzzled.

"Silas."

Ethan understood what she was thinking, "I'll get it."

"It's me, Ethan." He introduced himself as soon as he picked up the call.

"Mr. Meyer, is Ms Ines not there?"

"Tell me if you have anything to say, and I'll pass it on to Izzy."

"The chairman said he would start treatment again after Miss Emma's wedding. Please thank Ms Ines for me. It's all thanks to her."

"I've contacted a foreign expert and will arrange for him to meet you at the right time. But remember, don't tell Mr Galeana that I arranged this."

"Understood, Mr Meyer." He knew Hunter's temper well. If he found out it was Ethan's arrangement. He would be upset.

After hanging up, Ethan noticed that Ines, looking worried, was now smiling. He couldn't help but pinch her nose, "It seems your words worked. Hunter agreed to start treatment again."

"Hunter's temper requires a good scolding rather than gentle persuasion."

"Maybe that only works on him."

Ethan still had some work to do, so he made Ines sit on his lap. Ines had no words for his bad taste and let him have his way.

With nothing to do, Ines glanced around and noticed a red circle marked on the calendar on the desk. She couldn't recall any special occasion today, "Ethan, what's today? Why is it marked on your calendar?"

Ethan paused momentarily, then smiled at Ines, "Mrs. Galeana, have you forgotten today?"

"Should I remember?"

"Today is the day you're supposed to hand in your assignment. How's your 3000-word reflection going? I can't wait to read it."

Ines flinched instinctively. If she knew it was about this, she wouldn't have reminded Ethan. It was like shooting herself in the foot. She had completely forgotten about it.

After a brief thought, she came up with an excuse, "Mr. Meyer, let's skip this. My trust in you has already been shown through actions. I've done my assignment physically, so let's not stick to the form."

Ethan thought about it. She had indeed been behaving well recently. Even with Aaron's instigation and his concealment of Hunter's illness, Ines had given him 100% trust, which was beyond his expectations.

But letting her off the hook so quickly wasn't his style.

"So, you didn't write a single word?"

Ines knew she couldn't finish it overnight, so she didn't hide it, "I've been too busy recently, so I didn't have time to write."

"Is it that you didn't have time, or completely forgot?"

"Ethan, what's the point of dwelling on this?"

"What do you mean, no point? If you completely forgot, that means your attitude is not right and needs to be punished. If you didn't have time, I might forgive you and let you make it up some other way." Ethan coaxed. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Ines noticed his teasing smile and felt was up to no good like he was setting a trap for her.

After thinking for a while, Ines said firmly, "Of course, it's not about attitude, but lack of time. You can ask for compensation in another way."

"Then you'll take the initiative in bed tonight," Ethan said seriously.

Ines glared at him angrily and punched him in the chest, "Can't you stop thinking about that?" No matter what, he always managed to bring up that topic. It was beyond her comprehension. Ethan grabbed her hand tightly, "Since you chose it, there's no turning back. You haven't been spending quality time with me these days."
