Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 30

If it weren't for her being by Ethan's side just now, she really wouldn't have been able to imagine that they were the same person.

Ines looked up at Ethan, only to see him looking helpless, and she couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Grandpa, I'm not tired." Ines said.

"That's good. Tonight, come home and have dinner with Ethan. I'll personally cook something delicious for you. Let me know what you like and dislike." Phillip said.

Hearing that the old man would cook for her, Ines was flattered, "You don't have to go through so much trouble, anything will do. I'm not picky." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"No, that won't do. It's your first time visiting, we must make it special." Phillip said.

Ethan watched as his new wife was easily taken in by his grandfather, shaking his head helplessly.

Ines and Phillip chatted for a few minutes before hanging up. After the call, her face immediately crinkled into a worried expression, "What should we do, Ethan? Grandpa wants us to go home for dinner?"

Ethan smiled, seeing that she was quite clever and knew that his grandfather was trying to win her over, "Well, let's go. You already agreed."

"It's all your fault! I didn't want to agree, but I couldn't refuse such a request from an elder. Oh well, we have to visit eventually, so let it be today." If it weren't for him making her greet them, she wouldn't be in such an awkward position.

Ethan looked at her "bravely sacrificing" expression and found it quite amusing. He pinched her cheek and said, "Don't worry, my family is easy to get along with. They won't give you a hard time."

Ines pouted, thinking about what his grandfather had said on the phone, and looked at Ethan unhappily. "Why didn't you tell your grandfather about our marriage yourself?" She had honestly told her family, but he hadn't even mentioned it.

Ethan shrugged. "Whether I say it or not, they'll find out eventually."

"Indeed, you're the rascal your grandpa mentioned. Can you really say the outcome would be the same if you told them yourself?" Ines said.

"No one's in charge of me, so I've become a bit of a rascal. From now on, you'll be in charge, and I'll do whatever you say." Ethan said.

Ines chewed him out for being smooth-talking.

Actually, Ethan knew he wasn't really a fun-loving person. People around him always saw him as cold and aloof. However, when he looked at her, he couldn't help but want to tease her and found her embarrassed expressions amusing. It had been years since he last felt this way, so long that he couldn't remember.

"What does your grandpa like? And what about your parents?" Ines was completely focused on the issue of meeting the elders, not noticing Ethan's unusually good mood.

Ethan smiled at Ines,

"Grandpa likes to collect antiques, but the antique shops are probably closed now. As for my parents, they don't have any particular hobbies, so you can just pick something casual. However, you may need to buy an extra gift, as other relatives might be present at tonight's event." Ethan said.
