Chapter 107
Ethan looked at Ines seriously, “Is that really what you think?”
“Of course, I’ve told you before, I’m serious about marriage. I know what it means.” Ines said solemnly.
“Izzy, my Izzy…” Ethan whispered.
Ines looked up at him with a smile. Ethan’s large hand held her waist lightly, lifting her onto his lap and quickly leaning in for a kiss. He admired her rationality and cool head, always knowing exactly what she was doing
His heart was so full of joy that his kiss was intense. Ines could even feel his heart pounding. She also smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and responding actively. They simply held each other and kissed, slowly gently, losing themselves in the moment, only pulling away when they were both breathless.
Ines leaned against him in silence, calming her heartbeat
Ethan gently stroked her cheek and said senously, “Izzy, whatever anyone says to you, don’t just believe it. If you want to know the truth, just ask me Ines nodded. “I understand” She realized she had been too quick to believe Emma’s words.
She didn’t know that what she thought was a big deal was nothing to him
After a while, Ines yawned, ‘Let’s go to bed early tonight. We have to catch a flight early tomorrow” She quickly lay down, and Ethan knew she was avoiding something He laughed and lay beside her, letting her head rest on his arm and his hand rest on her waist. Ines quickly found a comfortable position and closed her eyes
Her face was peaceful. Ethan smiled, gave her a gentle kiss, and fell asleep with her.
The next day, they booked tickets back to A City and went straight to the Military Base
It turned out that a few days ago, grandpa had invited them to dinner at the Meyer Mansion. Ethan had said she was on a business trip, but grandpa sensed something was wrong. He thought they had had a fight.
If grandpa knew, the rest of the Meyer family would also know. To reassure the family, they had to make a personal visit to the Meyer Mansion
Even seeing them hand in hand, Phillip was still worried, “Izzy, why did you suddenly go on vacation? Did Ethan treat you bad? You tell grandpa, and grandpa will
teach him a lesson”
Ines shook her head and smiled at Phillip. “No, grandpa, I just needed a break.”
“You guys really didn’t fight?” Phillip asked.
Ethan looked helplessly at his grandpa, “Grandpa, are you hoping for me and Izzy to fight?”
At this point, Erica came down from upstairs, gave him a glare, and said to Ines, “Izzy. I bought you a new coat a few days ago. Try it on later, and if it doesn’t fit. I’ll have someone bring a different size.”
“Okay, mom” Ethan scratched his head and whispered to Ines, “Am I really their grandson and son? They all seem to have a problem with me. As soon as you came back, they started calling you Izzy. Why has it changed?”
Ines looked at Ethan, “Are you jealous?”
“No, you’re overthinking.” Erica stood next to them, overheard their conversation, and said, “Before, I was hoping you’d get married. Now it’s different. You’re married and no use to me I want Izzy to have a baby, so naturally, I have to treat Izzy better. Is that right, Izzy?”
Ines nodded, her face red. Ethan looked at Erica disapprovingly, “Are you sure I’m no use? Without me, could Izzy have a baby on her own?”
“Do I not know you? No matter how I treat you, you’ll always try your best. So why should I waste my energy?” Erica said confidently.
Ethan was stunned and found himself unable to argue
Ines couldn’t help but laugh Ethan was finally at a loss for words.
Phillip had been standing to one side, observing Ines closely, when he suddenly said, “Izzy, have you lost weight again?”
Ines walked over and linked arms with him, ‘No, grandpa, I’m actually a pound heavier than I was before our wedding” “That’s not good enough, you’re still too skinny. I’m going hunting with some friends in the mountains soon. I’ll get you some wild chickens to help you build up your strength.” Phillip and his friends had a tradition of hunting in the mountains every year.
“Don’t go to all that trouble” Ines was worried about her grandpa exerting himself too much at his age.
“No, it’s settled. When I catch them, I’ll make some soup and have it sent to your office” Phillip insisted.
After lunch, Ines was called into Erica’s room to try on the new coat. It was a pink coat that cinched perfectly at the waist, highlighting her fair skin.
“Thank you” Ines said.
Erica signaled Ines to sit down. Ines knew her mother–in–law had something to say, so she sat down on the edge of the bed. “Izzy, Ethan told me why you two were fighting. I know everything.” Erica said
