Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 187

Meg said, "Getting married is like joining a new family and starting a whole new life. This applies to them as well. You need to take the initiative to blend into their lives. But from what you've said, I can tell that your husband's family is pretty cool."

Izzy thought Meg made a lot of sense.

"You haven't been married for long, so don't think I'm trying to nag you. I'm just telling you the truth."

Izzy shook her head with a smile, "I don't have many elders in A City that I can really talk to. I'm happy you're willing to chat with me."

"Only you would listen to me. Phoebe always blocks her ears when I start preaching, saying my words are like a curse and she can't take a word in or else she’d get a headache."

"Phoebe must be joking. She's actually quite sensitive." Izzy laughed.

Izzy helped Meg in the kitchen for a while. Phoebe had already prepared a table full of mouth- watering dishes. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Your cooking skills seem to have improved."

"That's a given."

Izzy saw Ethan and Grayson Wagner coming in together and having a chat. She laughed and said, "Ethan, how come you're hanging out with Grayson?"

Ethan smiled at Izzy, "I ran into Grayson at the doorstep."

"I just got out of my car and saw him. I thought I was seeing things, then I remembered he's your hubby." Grayson laughed and told Izzy.

"Ethan, come in and have a seat." Meg called out warmly when she saw Ethan.

When everyone was present, Meg also helped bring all the dishes from the kitchen. Phoebe brought out the birthday cake and everyone sang the birthday song. Phoebe urged Meg to make a wish.

Just as Meg was about to make a wish, Phoebe cut her off, "Your birthday wish can't be hoping I get married soon."

Everyone laughed at her joke, and Meg shook her head helplessly, "Already traumatized?"

"It’s all your fault."

Meg laughed, "Alright, today I'll abide by your request and make no such wish."

...

Phillip had called several times, urging them to come home. Each time, Ethan declined with various excuses and Izzy understood why he did that. Seeing Emma pregnant made her want a baby of their own.

But Phillip had urged them so many times that Izzy felt bad for refusing, so she had Dane pick her up.

Phillip was in the yard pruning flowers, and unusually, he didn't even glance at her when she came in. Izzy looked at Dane curiously, "What's up with Grandpa? He seems upset, who pissed him off?"

Dane smiled, "He's probably upset because you didn't come home, so naturally he’s not happy."

"I see."

Izzy walked up to Phillip and asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Phillip turned and continued pruning the flowers, completely ignoring her. Izzy was not upset, she hugged Phillip's arm and said, "Grandpa, don't you like me anymore?"

Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Phillip glared at her and said, "What nonsense, it's you who doesn't like me. Think about it. How long has it been since you last came home?"

Izzy knew that Phillip was being childish. His temper flares up quickly but also cools down quickly, she couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, that's not fair, how could I not like you? It's Ethan who won't let me come." Izzy quickly blamed everything on Ethan, after all, in Phillip's eyes, he was already a jerk, she didn't need to "show mercy" to him.

"That jerk's absolutely outrageous, even forbidding you to come and see me."
