Chapter 28


    If it weren''t for Phoebe tightly grabbing her shoulder, Ines would''ve bolted. That girl really had no


    filter.


    The saleswoman seemed experienced. Seeing Ines looking a bit awkward, she exined with a


    smile, "Don''t be embarrassed, ma''am. Newlyweds need some spice too, and many people buy sexy


    lingerie as a wedding gift." As she spoke, she sized up Ines'' figure, her gaze asionally lingering


    on her chest.


    Ines couldn''t stand the scrutiny and shot Phoebe an angry re as she grinned from ear to ear.


    "Your shape is great, and as for the fabric, I personally rmend these few."


    The saleswoman rmended three options, and Ines, looking at the skimpy materials, picked


    one at random. As soon as Phoebe paid, Ines grabbed her, eager to leave the store with the


    lingerie.


    "Izzy, I love seeing you grit your teeth but powerless against me," Phoebeughed loudly.


    "Bad friend," Ines grumbled.


    "Targeting you." Phoebe said.


    Phoebe had to leave halfway through, and Ines noticed it was already past five. Just as she was


    about to call a taxi, Ethan called and told her to wait at a coffee shop, and he''d pick her up shortly.

    Ines didn''t have to wait long for Ethan to arrive, driving a Volkswagen this time. Sheughed at her


    absurd thoughts from before.


    Ethan took the bag from her hand like a gentleman. Without thinking much, she handed it to him.


    Once in the car, Ethan asked, "Howe you shopped for so long and only bought this little thing?


    It''s so light." And with that, he opened the bag.


    It was toote for Ines to react. She watched as Ethan''s face changed colors, and his gaze turned a


    bit strange, as if there was a hidden me.


    Ines'' face turned red, and she mentally cursed Phoebe countless times, "Don''t get the wrong idea.


    My friend bought it, not me."


    Ethan suddenly leaned closer, his hand gently caressing her face, a slight smile on his lips. "But you


    epted it, didn''t you? Is it a subtle way to tell me that we can actually get closer?" Ethan asked.


    Ines awkwardly turned her head away, not knowing how to respond. Just as she was about to


    speak, his lips covered hers. Her mind went nk, forgetting to resist or even react, just staring


    wide-eyed at his handsome face that suddenly appeared so close. He seemed quite satisfied with


    her response.


    Afterward, he held her waist and deepened the kiss. Ines suddenly came to her senses and tried to


    refuse. "Mmm, no." She mumbled.


    However, her refusal only gave him more opportunity, boldly invading her mouth and stealing her


    breath without any hesitation. Kissing was foreign to Ines, especially such a deep kiss. Soon, she


    felt dizzy and closed her eyes involuntarily, her hands that wanted to struggle gradually dropping.


    Ethan only intended to try a light kiss, but she seemed to have a magical effect on him, making him


    desire more.


    But at this moment, the untimely sound of a phone ringing startled Ines, who abruptly opened her


    eyes and pushed Ethan away.


    Ethan looked at the caller ID on his phone screen, filled with frustration, and reluctantly answered


    the call.
