Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 290

Ethan wasn't actually a fan of being the center of attention, and he hated being disturbed. He was not doing all those things to draw attention to himself. He just thought that was the best solution for now. But turned out, it was just causing a lot of trouble for others.

Ines was all smiles. Seeing her grinning like an idiot, Ethan couldn't help but pinch her hair playfully. Then, he picked up the ultrasound images in his hand, "Stop laughing, it's time to prepare their photo album. Put all the pictures from each prenatal checkup in there. When they grow up, they can see how they looked inside mommy's belly. Let them know it wasn't easy for mommy to give birth."

In a soft voice, Ines said, "No wonder that guy said so, he was spot on."

Her husband was so perfect that she sometimes doubted if she was dreaming, or if he was merely a figment of her imagination.

"What did you say?" Ethan asked.

"Nothing, let's go. We still need to buy some photo albums." Ines said.

When they came out, they bumped into Emma and Eda, arm in arm, looking more like family. a far cry from how they used to be.

It seemed like it had been a while since Ines last saw Emma, not since their encounter at the Galeana family gathering. After the scandal involving Shirley broke out, Emma took some heat too, with lots of online backlash.

But she seemed fine now, apparently not too affected by all the drama.

However, she seemed to have lost some weight, except for her belly. She was not tall to begin with, and with flat shoes and a pregnant belly, she looked extra petite.

For some reason, Ines felt a bit complicated.

Emma saw them and greeted, "Are you guys here for a prenatal checkup too? Why so early?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"If we come late, it'll be crowded. Also we have to go to work." Ines said.

Emma gave a slight smile, "Then I won't keep you, I need to get going too."

Ines called out to her, "Rest up this afternoon. I'll have someone send over the equity transfer document, just sign it."

Emma bit her lip, "Actually, my life is not too bad right now."

"I'm not joking. What I owe you, I'll make sure you get." Ines said.

"Alright." Emma could only nod in response.

Ines added, "Gentry asked about you this morning, he seems quite concerned. If you have time, you can give him a call."

Hearing this, Emma looked a bit surprised, "Gentry? That Mr. Gentry from the finance department?"

Ines nodded. Judging from her reaction, Gentry was right. They didn't really have anything going on, otherwise, she wouldn't have looked so surprised.

"I see." Emma said.

After saying what she had to say, Ines left with Ethan.

Eda laughed and asked Emma, "Emma, is that guy Ms. Galeana was talking about into you?"

Emma blushed, "Eda, you're such a gossip. He's just a friend. He's probably just being polite since I haven't been to work for a while and stuff happened."

"That might not be the case. If it was just a polite inquiry, Ms. Galeana wouldn't have mentioned it." Eda had a good understanding of Ines's character. She felt if Ines mentioned it, there must be something out of the ordinary.

"Oh, let's just go in, or we'll have to wait in a long line." Emma said.

Ines was doing well at work, and she had been super busy lately, so Ethan thought about taking her for a trip to a nearby city over the weekend. When Lucas came in, Ethan asked him for advice, "Lucas, if I remember correctly, you've been dating your girlfriend for several years, right?"

"Yes, but she's not my girlfriend anymore. We got married last month." Lucas said.

Ethan was taken aback, "You're married? I'll get you a wedding gift later."

"Thank you, Mr. Meyer." Lucas gave a smile.

"So, any fun places you can recommend for a weekend getaway?" Ethan always left his social activities to Lucas.

After thinking for a few seconds, he made a suggestion, "Considering Mrs. Meyer is pregnant, it's best not to go too far. I suggest staying in A City. In A City, there's a place called Mar County where there's a Spring Ecological Park. They have hotels, hot springs, and recreational facilities, perfect for a one or two-day relaxation. It's autumn now, and it could be a bit chilly at night. A hot spring bath can help ease fatigue, relax muscles, and improve blood circulation in the lower limbs."

"Is it safe for Izzy to soak in a hot spring? Isn't the water temperature quite high?" Ethan asked. "Yes, it's safe. But each soak should be kept within 15-30 minutes, not too long. If well-regulated, it can actually be very beneficial for her lower limb blood circulation." Lucas said.
