Chapter 32
After getting off the car, Ethan carried the gifts they bought today with one hand and held Ines'' hand
with the other as they walked towards the house. The long corridor was lined with all kinds of
flowers and nts, emitting a faint fragrance that was refreshing. The main house was at the front.
There seemed to be an old man standing at the door, very eye-catching. He was stretching his neck
to look in their direction. Before they even got close, they heard him say loudly, "This kid finally
brought his wife home."
At the same time, Ines saw a few more people at the door, and their gazes instantly fell on her. Just
as Ethan said, the family was really looking forward to him getting married, or else the elders
wouldn''te out to wee the new bride personally.
Ethan tightened his hand on her waist and whispered in her ear, "It''s okay, don''t be nervous."
As they approached, Ines greeted the old man, "Hello, Grandpa."
This "Grandpa" made Phillip''s heart blossom with joy. He had been looking forward to this day for
many years, and today it finally came. He couldn''t help but smile and praise, "My granddaughter-in-
law is so well-behaved, much more than Ethan."
As he spoke, Phillip kept staring at her. Ines felt a little shy under his gaze and could only smile.
The more Phillip looked at her, the more satisfied he became, nodding non-stop. Without caring that
they hadn''t entered the house yet, he pulled out a gift from his bag and said, "Here, this is a little
something from Grandpa."
Ines hesitated and looked at Ethan. Ethan nodded at her, "This is Grandpa''s sincerity, just ept
it."
Ines smiled and took the gift from Phillip''s hand. Sheughed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I also
bought a massage chair for you. When you have time, you can use it to rx. The massage chair is
a bit big, so I left it in the car. I''ll have Ethan bring it inter."
Erica had been observing Ines secretly. Her manners were also quite graceful, so her initial
impression of Ines was perfect, "You shouldn''t have brought any gifts. Just hurry inside, it''s really
cold out here."
Phillip pped his forehead, "What a scatterbrain I am. Listen to your mom, hurry in."
As soon as Ines entered, Phillip immediately ordered someone to bring a hand warmer. It was
obviously prepared for her in advance, and Ines felt warm inside.
"This is Mom," Ethan introduced.

"Hello," Ines said with a blushing face.
Erica smiled and pulled Ines'' hand. Ines smiled and handed over the scarf and cosmetics she had
bought.
Seeing that Ines was unfazed by the situation, Erica became even more satisfied.
Inside the house, there were two middle-aged men. One looked very dignified, somewhat
resembling Ethan, but with a different temperament, probably Ethan''s father. The other seemed
very gentle, with a woman standing beside him who was well-maintained and had an extraordinary
aura. Ines roughly guessed their identities.
Ethan introduced each family member one by one. Having experienced it before, Ines directly said
thank you and then distributed the gifts she had bought for everyone, "I didn''t know what to buy, so I
just picked some small things based on my preferences. I don''t know if everyone will like them."
"Of course we like receiving gifts," Ashley chuckled.
"You little girl, always thinking about gifts," Lauren Nelson yfully tapped her daughter''s forehead.
"Hello, Ines, you can just call me Ashley," Ashley winked at Ines.
"Hi, Ashley." Ines said.
Ashley yfully stuck out her tongue and tiptoed to whisper in Ethan''s ear, "Bro, you''ve got good
taste."
Ethan looked at Ashley indulgently, "Don''t go too far."
Ines just happened to hear this and her ears turned red.
She thought it would be awkward, but everyone had a smile on their faces. Feeling their warmth,
Ines gradually rxed.
Ethan noticed her rxation and gently stroked her palm. Ines responded with a smile.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Erica''s heart rxed a little, and she pretended to be angry
while looking at their sped hands, "Alright, Ethan, since you''re home, stop holding your wife''s
hand all the time. Don''t let everyone feel constrained. We''re all family here, and we won''t eat her
up. Let your wife chat with us while you go do your stuff." With that, she enthusiastically pulled Ines''
hand, and Ethan had no choice but to let go.
Ashley also pushed Ethan and patted her chest, "Don''t worry, bro, I''ll take good care of her and
won''t let her be bullied."
"You better remember what you said. If she''s unhappy, I won''t let you off the hook." Ethan said.
"I suddenly feel like my position in the family is threatened. I have to treat Ines well," she said, then
turned to Ines with a pitiful face, "Ines, you have to back me up. He is threatening me."
Hearing this, Ines''s face turned red. She saw Ethan looking at her and nodded to let him know it
was okay for him to go and do other things.
Erica gently rubbed Ines''s hand to warm her up, and Ines felt a warm feeling inside, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? We''re family. Ethan doesn''t know how to take care of people. Did
he not turn on the heat in the car? How did he let you get so cold?" She red at Ethan, who was
not far away.
"He did turn it on, I''m just more susceptible to the cold," Ines exined quietly.
"Such newlyweds, so eager to defend that kid," Erica smiled ambiguously.
"From now on, my cousin also has a wife to care about. If you casually talk about him, Ines might
not be happy." Ashley said.
Ericaughed, "You little rascal, always talking about me. Be careful. Your cousin will get mad if you
talk like that about Ines."
"I''m so scared," Ashley made a frightened expression.
"Ashley," Ines pleaded a little.
"Alright, alright, we won''t talk about that. Let''s sit down and chat."
The three women chatted about gossip and other topics. They all avoided the subject of Ines''
background, which saved her some embarrassment. There were many things she didn''t know how
to exin. After chatting for a while, they heard Phillip''s voice, "Time for dinner."
