Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 205

Ethan was clueless as to why Ines suddenly changed her attitude, but seeing her like this, he was naturally thrilled.

Silvia, watching the two approaching from a distance, felt even more uncomfortable, but still greeted them, "Ines, Ethan, you guys finally made it, congrats."

Ines gave a faint smile, "Thanks, Silvia."

Ethan only gave a light smile towards Silvia, leaving her feeling bitter inside.

Entering the living room, Ines realized everyone was already here. Everyone's gazes were gentle, all directed towards her tummy. Feeling a bit shy, she greeted them.

Lauren Nelson noticed Ines's attention on the gifts on the coffee table and explained, "These were sent by your grandpa's friends."

"You might not know, but we've had a lot of visitors lately. These are just some of them, there's a lot more in the storage room," Erica added with a chuckle.

Phillip just came out of his room, spotted Ines, and immediately ordered Ethan, "Ethan, quickly help Izzy to the sofa."

"Grandpa, I'm not that weak. I can walk there myself."

"That's not the point."

Ines felt her status in the house had suddenly escalated, she couldn't help but whisper to Ethan, "Did my status increase just because I'm pregnant?"

Ethan nodded, "Exactly, and because of you, my status has also improved. Grandpa was really gentle when he called this morning."

"So, I'm the savior of your status."

"So just enjoy it now, you've made a huge contribution. Mr. Meyer will definitely take good care of you."

The Meyer family watched the loving couple and also felt really happy.

Ashley Meyer made her entrance slightly tardy. Spotting Ines, she dashed over with an enthusiastic clamor, eager to lay eyes on her young nephew.

Ethan stopped her, rebuking coldly, "You're grown up now, how are you still so rude? Are you asking for a beating?"

Ashley shook her head, "You don't even love your sister anymore."

Ethan looked at Ashley discontented, "Stop talking nonsense, I want a daughter."

"Got it, you're so childish."

Ashley sat down next to Ines, hugging her arm, "So, sis, is the baby behaving?"

Ines couldn't help but lightly pat her forehead, her voice low but everyone could hear, "You call your brother childish, but you're not much better. I just got pregnant, how could the baby possibly be causing trouble?"

Ashley shouted at the people in the living room, unhappy, "Look, sis is mad at me. Just because I called my brother childish, she said I'm clueless."

Erica laughed and said to Ashley, "Ashley, maybe you didn't realize the situation. Your brother and sister-in-law are very close now. How could she be happy if you speak about her like that?"

Ashley immediately said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I must have misunderstood."

With that, the entire living room was filled with laughter. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Phillip burst out laughing, "Erica is right, Ashley, you can't badmouth your brother anymore, he's also someone's sweetheart now."

Silvia was sitting alone on the side, like a complete outsider, unable to join the conversation.

After lunch, Ines called Ashley into her room. Ashley looked at her curiously, "Sis, do you have something to tell me?"

"Ashley, I think you're about the same age as Silvia. I want to ask you, do you think she has special feelings for your brother?"

Ashley was taken aback, quickly realizing Ines's meaning, "Ines, do you mean romantic feelings?"

Ines nodded, "Yes."

Ashley thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, I don't spend much time with her. I don't spend much time at the Meyer Mansion. I just remember her being quiet and moody, always staying alone in the corner, not talking to anyone. Only grandpa could get a few words out of her. Then she went abroad, and I had even less interaction with her. But since she came back, she seems much more outgoing."

"What about her relationship with Ethan before?"

Ashley looked at Ines, asking uncertainly, "Ines, you really don't care about Leila?"

Ines smiled, "Whether I care or not, I don't want to compete with someone who's already passed. It's pointless. As long as I know Ethan has me in his heart, that's enough."

Keen to alleviate any discomfort for Ines, Ashley prefaced her truth-bearing words with a disclaimer, "You're familiar with my brother's demeanor – typically aloof, yet he lavishes affection upon those he truly cherishes. That's the reason for his indulgence towards Silvia."

Ines nodded. She didn't know if she was overthinking, but every time she saw Silvia, she felt a bit uneasy. Instead of guessing in her heart, she might as well take this opportunity to find out for herself, "Ashley, sis wants to ask you for a favor."

"Say it, sis."

Ines shared her thoughts. Ashley agreed and jokingly said, "Your concern for my brother is deeper than I thought. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of this little thing for you, consider it done."

"You don't need to make it too obvious. I just want to do a simple test, otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy."

"But if Silvia really has other thoughts about my brother, how will you deal with it?" Ashley looked at Ines curiously.

Ines glared at Ashley, "That's something your brother needs to consider. If he can't handle it, I'll take his daughter and leave."

"Haha, that method will definitely work on my brother. He's really dependent on his wife and child now."
