Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 349

Ines' words instantly lit up Ethan's eyes. His face was filled with surprise and emotion, and some complex feelings that Ines couldn't quite understand.

Ines wasn't planning on going back to sleep. She leaned on Ethan's arm, whispering, "Men's minds are really hard to fathom. I have no clue what you guys are thinking about." Just as she was murmuring to herself, her vision was suddenly obscured by a shadow. By the time she reacted, Ethan had leaned down to kiss her lips. A hint of a smile tugged at Ines' lips as she willingly returned his passionate kiss. It wasn't until Ethan felt that he was about to lose control that they reluctantly stopped.

Seeing Ethan like this, Ines' face reddened slightly. She gently pushed him away, "Let's get going. It's getting dark earlier these days. If we delay any longer, it will be pitch black."

Ethan playfully pinched Ines' nose, saying earnestly, "Thank you for forgiving me and agreeing to come home with me."

Ines blinked, then realized what he meant, pointing at her own nose, "Did you think I came here today because I was angry?"

Ethan chuckled awkwardly, not saying anything, but his expression said everything.

"Don't get it twisted. I was not that upset. I just wanted to tease you, see when you'd come to find me. Plus, Emma was not in a good mood that day, and Jasmine was also startled, so I came to check on them. Never once did I think about staying here tonight." As she spoke, Ines playfully punched Ethan in the chest, a smile on her face.

Ines really didn't know what to make of him. How could he have such thoughts? And if he wanted to take her away while she was asleep, it would've been too easy. But he didn't. He even carried her upstairs, clearly not planning on doing anything against her wishes while she was asleep. He showed her utmost respect.

This man, sometimes he was a rascal, but other times he was incredibly principled, a walking paradox. But she really liked his way of doing things. Her heart was filled with warmth, and this warmth spread throughout her body.

Hearing Ines' words, Ethan was also taken aback. He stuttered, "I thought..."

Ines put her hand over his mouth, a brilliant smile on her face, "Don't say anything. Mr. Meyer, take me home."

"Okay." Ethan said.

As they walked downstairs hand in hand, Silas and Eda were watching TV on the couch, Jasmine nestled in Eda's arms. Seeing them come down, Silas found it strange and asked, "Aren't you guys staying here tonight?"

Ines raised an eyebrow. Her actions had led everyone to misunderstand. They all thought she had come back because she was upset.

"Silas, I just came to check on Emma and Jasmine." Ines said.

"I see. I thought you were planning on staying here for a while." Eda said.

"No such thing. By the way, where's Emma?" Ines asked.

Eda smiled and pointed outside, "She seemed to have received a call and hurried out. Maybe the content wasn't suitable for us to hear."

"We're leaving now. Eda, take good care of Emma. Make sure she drinks some soup to promote lactation. Breast milk is always better than formula for a baby as young as Jasmine." Ines said worriedly.
