Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 181

Ethan noticed that Ines was feeling down, so he comforted her. "Izzy, whatever decision you make, I'm with you all the way." Ines was twiddling Ethan's hand. His fingers were distinct and strong. She said, "Ethan, I wish I could hear your opposition. I want to hear your righteous refusal. But you always support me unconditionally. It doesn't make me feel any better."

“Isn't that what couples are supposed to do? Understanding and tolerating each other."

"But I don't want you to accommodate me. It makes me feel like I'm taking advantage of you, enjoying everything you give me with peace of mind." Ines felt that no matter what she did, he never opposed, and this indulgence sometimes made her quite worried.

“I really don't know what you're thinking. I'm your husband, it's only natural for me to treat you well.”

“I'm afraid you'll get tired of me one day.” Ines was in his arms, her voice was very small, but Ethan heard it.

Ethan gently rested his chin on top of her head, "I won't, Izzy." He didn't know if it was because of her memory loss, but sometimes she felt very insecure.

Ines nodded slightly. To prevent Ines from overthinking, Ethan leaned down and kissed her lips. Ines lifted her slender arms and circled his neck, kissing him passionately.

Ever since Ines was injured, they only shared a light kiss each day. Ethan was always considerate of her physical condition and didn't dare to take it further. He was worried that he would be the one who would ultimately suffer.

He roughly counted the days; the doctor said her body was fine now.

Ethan became more intense. He even forgot that this was his office. He swept the files on the table to the side, let Ines sit on the office desk, and they continued to kiss.

Ethan held her entire body in his arms. Just as the two were passionately kissing, the office door was pushed open. Noel looked at the two people engrossed in kissing, was stunned for a moment, then when he saw that the person in Ethan's arms was Ines, he whistled and teased, "Ethan, you usually seem so aloof, I didn't expect you to be so wild in private."

Upon hearing Noel's voice, Ethan immediately held Ines in his arms, looked at Noel unhappily, and said seriously, "Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"

Noel shrugged innocently, "I did knock. You guys were too engrossed and didn't hear the knock. I thought you were asleep, so I just pushed the door and came in."

At this time, Lucas ran in, and said to Ethan somewhat guiltily, "I'm sorry, Mr. Meyer. I couldn't stop Mr. Noel."

Ethan said, "Your performance bonus for this month is cancelled. If there is a next time, your bonus for the quarter will be canceled."

Lucas looked at Noel with a look of grievance. Noel smiled innocently, patted Lucas on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, Lucas. If Ethan ever fires you, you can come to me. I always need a capable secretary like you."

Lucas was speechless, glanced at Noel, then told Ethan, "Mr. Meyer, you have a meeting at five o'clock that will take about twenty minutes of your time. The sales manager from the branch is coming to report the first quarter sales performance to you."

Ethan nodded, showing that he already knew this, and Lucas left the office.

Noel added to Lucas's retreating figure, "Lucas, next time you talk so much nonsense, just tell me Ines is inside and I definitely won't just barge in."

Lucas staggered a step when he heard his words.

Ines's face was very red, and she kept her head down, not daring to lift it. Ethan looked at Noel, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, if not, please leave."

Of course, Noel knew that Ethan was angry at him for interrupting them, said, "You didn't answer my call, so I came over. I booked a private room tonight, and Aaron will also come over. We three can have a good time."

Then he glanced at Ines in Ethan's arms, "Of course, you can bring your family."

Ethan looked at Noel impatiently, "Got it. You guys go ahead first. I will come over after I handle my things. I might be a few minutes late." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Alright, then I'm leaving." Noel went straight out the door, and even slammed the office door on his way out, as if reminding them of something.

After Noel left, Ethan lifted Ines's head. When he saw her blushing face, he couldn't help but laugh. He pinched her face, "This isn't the first time, why aren't you used to it?"

Ines hit him angrily and grumbled unhappily, "It's always embarrassing. It's all your fault, I'm so embarrassed now."

Ethan laughed and consoled her, "Don't worry. Noel may not seem reliable, but he won't gossip. And Lucas will definitely never leak it out."

Ines glared at Ethan. In her memory, this wasn't the first time she lost control in his office, but this was the most embarrassing time.

"Alright, don't be angry. Go to the lounge and rest for a while. I have a meeting later, and we will go out for a gathering tonight."

Ines nodded. She had heard Lucas mention the meeting earlier, so she went to the lounge to rest.

As soon as Ines lay on the bed, she received a text message from Noel.

Ines looked at it, it read: Ines, I was a bit impulsive today. Can you please bring Phoebe tonight? Otherwise, it will be awkward for us singles with just you and Ethan.

Ines was speechless, but she still called Phoebe. But Ines didn't tell her that Noel would be there. Phoebe, who enjoys having fun, didn't suspect anything and immediately agreed to come.
