Chapter 75


    "Ethan." Ines, her eyes red, was at a loss for words, so she just softly called his name.


    The better he treated her, the more wayward she felt. On one hand she was enjoying his kindness,


    on the other hand, she was making an unreasonable request, asking him not to love her.


    Ethan held Ines tightly, "Mmm, I''m here, remember my name, let it be your instinctive reaction."


    "Don''t be so nice to me, I don''t deserve you, I might not be able to give you what you want," Ines


    choked out.


    "Don''t talk like that, you''re my wife, of course I should treat you well. Or do you want me to be nice


    to other women?"


    "No," Ines immediately responded, the thought of him being nice to another woman made her feel


    suffocated.


    Ethan watched as she slightly pursed her lips, her small eyes stubbornly defiant, he couldn''t help


    but smile softly, "Silly girl."


    How could he possibly be nice to other women, after all these years, it was her who awakened his


    heart that had long been frozen. He thought he would spend his life alone, but he didn''t expect that


    he would fall for a woman, making him uncontrobly want to treat her well.


    Whether it was her mischievous side or her stubborn and obstinate side, he liked them all.


    Ethan spent the entire day at home with Ines, even Ines''s repeated assurances that she could take


    care of herself didn''t dissuade Ethan from going to work. Eventually, Ethan even grandly dered,


    "Mrs. Meyer, as my grandpa said, our Meyer family isn''t so poor that we can''t afford to eat, there''s


    no need for me to work so hard."


    "Excuses, you just don''t want to go to work, huh?" Despite saying this, Ines felt a wave of


    sweetness in her heart. She naturally knew that he was trying to make her happy.


    With hispany, it seemed as though yesterday''s sadness was gradually fading.


    Ethan gently rubbed his chin on top of her head, a gleam of mischief in his eyes, "Oops, Mrs. Meyer


    has figured me out." He was cooking while she helped. After dinner, they went to bed early. Ethan


    didn''t go to his study, but leaned against the headboard, working on hisptop on hisp. Ines


    curled up on the other side of the bed, using her cold feet to warm herself against his leg, holding a


    tablet and reading a web novel that was rmended to her by Kelly a few days ago. The plot was


    so appealing that she couldn''t stop reading, much more exciting than the current domestic dramas.


    This was a lifestyle she had never thought of before, she once thought that young people reading


    novels in bed was very decadent, but it felt pretty good to experience it once in a while.


    Keeping the same posture for a long time can be ufortable, so Ines would move around


    asionally. Suddenly, she heard Ethan''s hoarse voice, "Izzy, if you keep moving, I can''t guarantee


    that I''ll be able to control myself."


    She looked at Ethan in confusion, and when she saw the flicker of desire in his eyes, she


    immediately behaved and muttered, "Bad guy." After being together for so long, they could


    understand each other''s intentions with just one look.


    Ethan didn''t care, he put down hisptop, and in the instant that Ines''s eyes widened, he leaned in,


    swallowing her gasps in a kiss.


    His hot lips and tongue descended, his kiss heavy and urgent. Ines clutched at his clothes, tilting


    her head back slightly, her eyes filled with seductive allure. Even though they had been intimate


    many times before, she still couldn''t help but feel her heart pound and her nerves on edge


    whenever he kissed her like this.


    Before long, she felt soft and warm, as if she had drunk a bottle of aged wine and was drunk.


    A smile flickered in Ethan''s eyes, and he murmured in her ear, "And you said you didn''t want love."


    "Hmm?" Ines didn''t quite catch what he said.


    Ethan just smiled and didn''t exin, instead he proved everything with his actions. Just then, the


    phone rang. Ines regained her senses and pushed him away, "Answer the phone."


    Reluctantly, Ethan let go of Ines, ruffled his hair, and grumbled, "What a mood killer."

    Watching him ruffle his hair, the smile on Ines''s lips deepened. She suddenly remembered the first


    time they kissed, and how his expression was the same when they were interrupted by Phillip. He


    looked like a child who couldn''t get candy,pletely different from his usual cold and noble


    demeanor.


    She had heard people say that men are always children in front of the women they love.


    As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Ines was startled, and instinctively shook her head to


    dispel these chaotic thoughts.


    Just then, Ethan handed the phone to Ines, "Izzy, it''s for you." As soon as Ines took the phone, she


    heard Phoebe''s using and dissatisfied voice, "Izzy, you''re an adult but you''re still ying hide


    and seek. What are you up to? You didn''t even tell me when something happened, do you even


    consider me your best friend? Are you trying to make me mad? Tell me honestly, did Ethan take


    advantage of you?"


    Ethan had only asked Phoebe if Ines had contacted her when he called, and she said no. Then he


    immediately hung up, and she had no idea what had happened. Ines''s phone was unreachable, so


    she had no choice but to call Ethan again.


    Ines instinctively looked at Ethan, and saw him standing by the bed, watching her with a half-smiling


    expression. It was clear that he had heard what Phoebe had said.


    "He didn''t take advantage of me," Ines said quietly.


    Hearing Ines''s weak voice, Phoebe became even more convinced of her suspicions, "Izzy, don''t be


    afraid. Even if the Meyer family rules A City, I''ll do my best to help you." Ines felt helpless, but also


    deeply touched. Sheughed softly and said truthfully, "Don''t worry, Ethan has been very good to


    me. I was taken back to the Galeana family by Hunter yesterday, and I left my phone there. Ethan


    knew you''re my best friend, and when he couldn''t reach me, he called you."


    Hearing this, Phoebe let out a sigh of relief. Even though she had always believed in the integrity of


    the Meyer family, this emotionless union had always been a concern. Love is such an unpredictable


    thing.


    After a brief pause, Phoebe suddenly got angry again, "What does that old man want from you


    now? It was him who personally cut off your father-daughter ties in the newspapers."


    If she hadn''t seen it all with her own eyes, Phoebe could never imagine that the person who had


    doted on Ines since childhood would end up like this.


    What''s even more shocking is that he even had an illegitimate daughter who was less than a year


    younger than Ines. Anyone with half a brain could tell that this was obviously the result of his


    infidelity while his wife was pregnant.


    His wife bore him children, risking aging, getting ugly, and losing her figure, while he couldn''t control


    himself from seeking thrills outside. This kind of man is simply unforgivable. "He wants me to join


    the Galeana Group." Ines was calm, and after a day of contemtion, her mood had gradually


    improved.
