Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 186

Meg Wagner's birthday was coming up soon, and Izzy was definitely gonna show up. Phoebe would pick her up personally, and she asked her to bring Ethan along. Ethan said it was cool and that he'd head over after work.

Meg's birthday isn't a big deal or anything. It's just a family dinner at home and Izzy is the only one invited.

When Izzy heard about Meg's birthday, she got a present ready. It was this cool necklace made of agate and diamonds. It was Ethan's idea. He thought they couldn't show up at the Wagner’s empty- handed for the first time, so Izzy had to listen to him.

Phoebe got a look at Izzy's gift and couldn't help saying, "Man, rich people are different, they are always so generous. I bet my mom's gonna give me an earful later."

"Afraid of Meg, are you?" Izzy laughed.

"As if! I'm not scared of her at all."

When they got to the Wagner's, Meg was just sitting in the living room knitting. She spotted Izzy and waved her over right away. Phoebe was already used to this kind of treatment.

"Meg."

Meg took a serious look at Izzy and finally said, "Izzy, you look good. Seems like you've put on some weight."

"Really?" Izzy pinched her own face. She hadn't noticed until Meg mentioned it.

Phoebe chuckled and said, "Izzy, you've definitely gained a bit. Your hubby's doing a great job. You've recovered so well in such a short time after being discharged from the hospital. But be

careful, keep this up and you'll lose your figure."

Meg gave Phoebe a glare and told Izzy, "Don't listen to her nonsense. You're great now. I've seen you grow up. You were chubby for a while when you were little and then you've been pretty skinny. From my experience, people with your body type won't get too fat."

Izzy didn't take it to heart and just nodded. Phoebe was giggling on the side, and Meg said to her, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You seem to have high EQ, how come you're still single?"

Phoebe stood up and said, "I'm not hanging out with you guys anymore; I'm gonna prep the meal."

Phoebe's cooking skills were pretty dope. She usually took on the role of head chef when they have guests over, with the household staff helping out.

Meg shook her head helplessly, "She's such a wildcard. She hasn't found a husband who can cook, but she's learned how to cook herself. Just don't let someone else benefit from it."

"Meg, you don't have to worry too much. From what I understand, there are actually guys chasing after Phoebe, she just hasn't said yes yet." Izzy said.

Meg looked at Izzy in surprise, "Do you know something? Share it with me." Izzy patted Meg's hand, "I'm only telling you because I see you worrying so much. If Phoebe knew I was talking about this in front of you, she'd definitely get mad. I can't reveal too much yet. But I think the guy is pretty good. Don't worry, she'll get married soon."

"Really?"

Izzy nodded confidently.

Meg has always seen Izzy as a reliable kid. She showed the half-finished pink sweater on her hands to Izzy, "Do you think this little sweater is cute?"

Only then did Izzy realize that the sweater Meg was knitting was for a child. She couldn't help asking, "Who is this for?"

"It's for your baby of course. I have to prepare this sweater in advance, otherwise, it'll be too late when the baby is born."

Izzy was so moved that she choked up, and it took her a few seconds to say, "Meg, there are so many clothes like this on the market, you don't have to strain your eyes making it by hand."

"It's okay. The quality of the ones on the market can't compare to the ones I make. Your aunt and uncle live far away and they're still working, so they can't take care of you all the time. Leave these little things to me." Meg said.

Izzy nodded, knowing that Meg truly had her best interests at heart.

"I'm not pregnant right now. You don't have to rush, just take your time."

"I know. I'll take care of myself. Anyway, I'm not working now, I have nothing to do all day at home; doing this is also a way to kill time."

"Okay."

Meg started knitting the sweater again, saying, "You've been busy and haven't been to my house for a while. I didn't get to ask you how you're getting along with your husband's family."

Izzy laughed and shared some stuff. Meg was quite pleased to hear that.
