Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 154

After work, Ethan went to pick up Ines, and the two of them went to the supermarket to buy groceries together.. Ethan pushed the shopping cart while Ines threw her bag into the cart, her arm linked with Ethan's. A slight smile tugged at the corner of her mouth as she thought back to the funny incident that had happened at the supermarket not long ago.

"Feels like we haven't been shopping at the supermarket for a long time. Been bogged down with all sorts of odds and ends lately."

"If you like, we can cook our meals after work from now on." Ethan said with a smile, he too enjoyed this kind of life.

"No need to do it every day; you'll get bored. Besides, your time is precious as a big boss. I wouldn't dare waste it." Ines joked.

"Izzy, I'm seeing the wisdom in Grandpa's words. The Meyer family isn’t exactly broke. I don't need to spend so much time at work. Should spend more time with the family."

Ines nodded and said, "Of course, grandpa's life experience is definitely richer than ours."

"You let Grandpa win you over just like that?" Ethan knew she was moved by what Phillip had said the night before.

"I really admire Grandpa. I still feel like it's not real. Someone like me would probably face discrimination even in an average family, but I've received so much love in your family. I'm so lucky." Ines sighed.

"Izzy, watch your words. What do you mean 'someone like you'?" Ethan looked at Ines somewhat displeased, not liking the self-deprecating tone in her voice. She might not be perfect, but she was the one he happily held in his heart.

"Alright, alright, my bad. Just got a bit emotional." She believed she wasn't a bad, and God wouldn't be so cold-hearted. One day, her dreams would come true.

"Silly girl." Ethan chuckled.

"Do you know? Some people who watched our interview video said that I must have saved the world in my past life to have met someone as perfect as you in this life." Ines said with an indescribable warmth in her eyes.

Ethan was in a fantastic mood when hearing her words, "Now that's something I like to hear."

"No, I don't think so. I think all the trials and tribulations I've faced in the past few years were tests from God. If I can make it through, God will open another window for me." All hardships were meant to lead to the right person at the right time. Not a step too early or too late, just right..

"You're feeling quite philosophical today, huh?" Ethan couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

"Just had a moment of realization, feeling pretty lucky."

Back at home, Ethan was ready to roll up his sleeves and cook, but Ines, glancing at the recently healed wound on his arm, stopped him, "Ethan, let me do it. I want to learn how to cook."

"Izzy, I can cook for you. You don't need to learn this."

"Your wound just healed, you should avoid doing such work. Besides, I can't always let you take care of me; I'd feel guilty."

Ethan knew Ines' personality. Once she decided to do something, she would definitely do it, "Alright, then it's your show today. I'll be your taste tester."

"Great! Let's keep it simple today. Anything too complicated, I might not get it."

Ethan glanced at the groceries they bought, "I'll teach you a few simple dishes tonight ."

"Alright."

Ethan leaned against the kitchen door, giving Ines instructions. The recipes he chose were simple, so Ines didn't have much trouble. The only challenge was cutting the meat, which took her over ten minutes to get right.

She boasted, "See, cooking isn't that hard. If I'm willing to learn, nothing can stop me."

Ethan couldn't help but walk over and wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, "You're right, Izzy. You've got talent."

"So don't underestimate me, always thinking I can't do anything. I've always been someone with potential, capable of big things."

Ethan smiled, didn't burst her bubble, and continued, "Add a little meat tenderiser to keep the meat tender. If you want more flavor, you can add some seasoning and mix it in..." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Under Ethan's guidance, Ines' cooking went smoothly, and dinner was soon served.

Ines looked at Ethan expectantly, "So, how is it?"

Ethan deliberately didn't answer, prompting Ines to kick him a little, "Come on, spill it. Don't keep me hanging."

"It's good, really delicious. Mrs Meyer's cooking has come a long way."

"Let me try." Ines happily picked up her utensils, took a bite, and found that it was indeed delicious.

After dinner, the two snuggled on the couch watching TV. Ethan leaned back on the couch, with Ines' head on his lap and arms wrapped around his waist, a blanket draped over her. She was

watching a comedic variety entertaining. The show had been on the air for over a decade, and the hosts were funny, making Ines laugh out loud.

Ethan had never imagined he would ever spend time watching such mindless variety shows.

Ethan looked at Ines with amusement. Ines, realizing she might have laughed a bit too loudly, asked, "Did I laugh too loudly? Was it silly?"

"Not at all, Mrs. Meyer. You always look good, no matter how you laugh."

"Ethan, do you like this kind of married life?" Ines suddenly looked up at Ethan, asking seriously.

Ethan didn't hesitate, "I do."

He loved coming home every day, seeing the light she left on for him by the bed after finishing work in his study, and even more, having a woman he loved sleeping in his arms, all of which made him feel incredibly at peace.

"I do too. This simple and ordinary life can also be a joy. I don't like those filled with ups and downs, passionate relationships."

Every woman yearned for a passionate love affair, and she was no exception. But now, she found she preferred this feeling of being a loving couple with Ethan, a sense of mutual support, peaceful and warm.
