Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 295

Ines was thinking to herself, just because she didn't like it, didn't mean he couldn't buy it.

"Or we can go shopping together when we get back. I'll buy whatever you like, otherwise I'm afraid I might get something you don’t like again." Ethan said.

Upon hearing this, Ines finally couldn't help but speak up. This guy was not romantic at all when he should be. Who ever heard of a birthday present being chosen by the recipient? Wouldn't it be more sincere if he chose it himself?

It was their first birthday together after getting married. She hadn't thought about it before, but now that it had come up, of course she wanted more. "Who says so? I think you're just making excuses. As long as it's from you, I'll love it.” Ines said.

Just as Ines finished speaking, she felt a cool touch on her face. She reached up to touch it and found a blue crystal pendant lying in her palm. It was simple yet very beautiful.

A smile spread across Ines's face and she sat up, looking at Ethan with a grin, "Is this for me?" Seeing her change in attitude, Ethan couldn't help but chuckle. Women really were fickle creatures, there was no denying it. Ethan nodded, "You just said you'd love anything I give you. Once you put this on, you can't take it off.”

As he spoke, Ethan lifted Ines's long hair and put the necklace around her neck. It suited her slender neck perfectly. Ines, lips curling into a smile played with the necklace for a while, clearly very pleased. But remembering what had just happened, she couldn't help but reprimand Ethan. "Mr. Meyer, when did you become so naughty? You had the gift ready all along, why did you trick me into thinking you didn't prepare anything?”

"It was supposed to be a surprise. I was going to wait until midnight, but it seems I was a bit early." Ethan glanced helplessly at the time. It was five minutes to midnight.

"It doesn't have to be exactly on time.” Ines couldn't help but grin. She hadn't expected him to be fussing over such a detail.

Ethan held her from behind, whispering playfully, "If I hadn't prepared a gift tonight, would you have ignored me?”

“Absolutely! Everyone else would have prepared a gift. You're my husband, it wouldn't be right if you didn’t. You'd feel embarrassed too.” Ines said “But I think all the gifts in the world can't compare to me. I'm the best gift." Ethan said.

With that, Ethan planted a kiss on Ines's neck. His fervent breath caused her to shiver slightly. Ethan was very pleased with her reaction, leaving a trail of kisses on her fair skin, trapping her.

He kissed her for a while before he lifted her up onto his lap and began to kiss her lips, invading her mouth and messing up her breath and heartbeat. This domineering yet gentle affection was irresistible. Ines could only wrap her arms around his neck and respond. In the quiet room, faint sounds could be heard.

Ethan's hand gradually slid under her clothes, teasing her sensitive spots. Ines felt a thrill, her face flushing. Just as Ethan was about to take things further, Ines abruptly pushed him away.

He looked at Ines in confusion, noticing her excited yet nervous expression. "What's wrong. Izzy? Are you feeling unwell?” Ines pointed to her belly with a hint of surprise in her voice, "! think they just kicked me.”

"Hm? Whe kicked you?" Ethan asked.

"They did, your little princess and prince.” Ethan often referred to their unborn twins like this, so Ines used the same terms.

"Let me listen." Realizing what she meant, Ethan immediately leaned his head on Ines's belly. But as soon as he did, the two little ones inside her quietened

"Izzy, they're not moving." Ethan looked up at Ines. Ines insisted, "They did move just now, gave me a kick. It was quite a big movement." As she spoke, she pushed Ethan's shoulder away, only to realize his shirt was already on the floor and he was half-naked.

She herself wasn't any better. Her outer clothes were gone and her bra was unhooked, half hanging off her.

Coming to hexgenses, Ines quickly tried to fix het-bra. But in her haste, she was elumsy. Ethan chuckled at. her. Shetwas always like this, © <> maintajning her girlish shyness-in sucttsituations. Little did she know, this-only made her more attractive tmen. . to

Interrupted as they were, and given the unusual circumstances, Ethan naturally didn't continue. "Let me help you." He offered, catching her hand.

Ines nodded, her face red. Ethan thought better of it and fetched her pyjamas instead, saying, "It's not worth the hassle. We're going to sleep anyway.”

It seemed like the little ones in her belly were playing a game with Ethan. Every time Ethan moved away, Ines felt a kick. But when Ethan put his hand on her belly, they quietened down. This happened several times.

Ines couldn't help but yawn. "Let's sleep. I'll call you when they move again. Your little prince and princess don't seem to like you very much. They quiet down as scon as you come around.”

"That's impossible. I'm always good to them. They have no reason not to like me." Ethan didn't buy it. "They're still young, they don’t know what liking and disliking are. They probably just go by instinct." Ines said.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Although Ethan wasn't willing to accept it, seeing it was already late, he could only lie down, holding Ines. His hand remained on Ines's belly, unwilling to leave. She was a bit helpless but couldn't resist him, so she let him be

The next day, Ines was awakened by

Ines couldn't help but burst into laughter, surprised to find Ethan chatting with the two kids early in the morning.
