Chapter 87


    "Ethan, be honest, have you ever had a thing for that girl?" Ines raised her delicate fingers and


    gently poked Ethan''s arm.


    A girl like Be is young and adorable, quite a head-turner. If she were a guy, she''d definitely take a


    second look at her.


    Men are suckers for beautiful things. But she hasn’t noticed Ethan eyeing her like that, and that


    made her a tad happy.


    Ethan''s eyes were deep, his smile hardly contained. "Mrs. Meyer, are you getting green-eyed?"


    "I''m asking you a serious question, no joking."


    "If I had fancied her from the start, you wouldn''t be in the picture," said Ethan helplessly.


    Ines pouted and huffed lightly, "That''s not necessarily true. Maybe you didn''t make a move on her


    back then because she was underage."


    "You silly girl."


    "Ethan, do you regret marrying me? After all, I''m already 27, I can''tpete with these young and


    pretty girls." For some reason, Ines suddenly felt insecure.


    Ethan chuckled, realizing she was feeling insecure. He was willing to spend time to exin, to ease


    any doubts in her heart.


    "Izzy, my intent has been to find a spouse, not a ward. The appeal of youth doesn''t resonate with


    me. Our slight age difference of five to six years is the perfect equilibrium. Just take Be as an


    illustration, still an innocent girl, grappling with her own emotions and requiring guidance to wade


    through life''splexities. I, unfortunately,ck the stamina and the patience for that task. However,


    you, Izzy, stand in stark contrast. A woman touched by life''s experiences grows into rational


    maturity. This, in turn, allows us toprehend and bear with each other more effectively, reducing


    disagreements. Thest thing a marriage requires is disputes; irrespective of the depth of the love,


    it risks dissolving amidst the din of arguments. Do you understand my perspective?" Ethanid out


    his thoughts with a sense of gravity. Ines was visibly moved. Reflecting on their shared past, his


    words appeared to hold true. Their disagreements had been few and far between. The infrequent


    squabbles they had were born out of care and worry, and these only served to fortify their bond


    rather than destabilize their marriage.


    This was indeed the kind of marriage she had in mind.


    "Alright, I ept your exnation."


    It was still early, so they didn''t rush home. The Diamond Hotel was right by the river, a popr spot


    at this time. They decided to take a walk by the river.


    The evening breeze was refreshing. Although a bit chilly, it felt nice.


    Ines was a bit tired from the day''s activities. She pulled Ethan to sit on a bench, leaning her head


    slightly on his shoulder.


    Her gaze was fixed on his side profile, clear and sharp, but not rigid, giving a soft feel, matching his


    reticent personality.


    A scene of a boy and a girl kissing on a chair not long ago shed in her mind. Ines suddenly raised


    her arm, wrapped it around his neck, leaned into his face and gave Ethan a peck.


    Ethan was stunned. Ines was usually quite reserved in this aspect, and such initiative was rare.


    He was always good at seizing opportunities. How could he stay indifferent to his wife''s kiss? He


    immediately embraced her, and let her sit on hisp. Before she could react, his passionate lips


    pressed down. Although the position was a bit bold, Ines was very cooperative, willingly opening her


    mouth to let him in, her small hands gripping his suit jacket tightly as she sumbed to his kiss. He


    was skilled, firmly in control, yet knew how to make her revel in the moment. In no time, Ines was


    weakly leaning in his arms,pletely at his mercy.


    For adults, especially newlyweds, a pure kiss is impossible, and soon it became more intimate.


    Ethan''s hand began to explore downwards following the curve of Ines’ body. As he moved lower,


    Ines'' body trembled sensitively.


    Hoooooot...


    Just then, the sound of a ship''s horn from the river disrupted their intimate moment. Ethan let go of


    Ines, his forehead touching hers. Ines was panting heavily, lying on his shoulder. The spark in their


    eyes gradually faded. However, the tension in their bodies was not so easily dispelled. Ethan found


    it hard to bear, but there were many people around, he couldn''t get intimate with his wife in public.


    Feeling the heat from the man below her, Ines''s face turned red. She leaned quietly in his arms, not


    daring to move.


    Ethan pinched her face, smilingly scolded her, "Naughty girl, you started it, and now you''re shy."


    The two embraced each other, trying to calm down. Suddenly, Ethan pulled her up and rushed


    towards the parking lot. Ines nced at a certain part of his body, finding it both funny and helpless.


    They were all adults, she knew what he was eager for.


    On their journey, Ethan maneuvered the vehicle with a deft foot on the pedal, Ines, her cheeks


    flushed, kept a silent vigil, apprehensive of inciting his temper. As they crossed the threshold of their


    house, Ines found herself pressed against the wall by Ethan, his fervent kiss descending upon her


    once more. Once inside their sanctuary, Ines found her tension dissipating. He expertly unzipped


    her dress, leaving her bare in the ambient chill. As a reflexive shiver crept up her spine, she


    reached to shield her exposed chest, but before she could do so, he was there, his warmth radiating


    through the barrier of their clothing as he pressed against her.


    Ines thought, this must be the difference between men and women. Women are naturally cold while


    men always seem warmer.


    Ines followed Ethan''s lead, helping him off with his clothes.


    They quickly made their way from the hallway to the bed, in the bright moonlight, their entwined


    shadows cast on the wall.


    Compared to their sweet time, Emma''s life was a bit tough. Ss had cornered her. She had waited


    in the car for several hours before Hunter arrived.


    Hunter got in the car, mming the door shut. Emma was startled and shivered.


    "Dad." Emma said softly. Hunter didn’t respond, just looked at Emma with heavy eyes, which made


    her feel a tingling sensation on her scalp. After a while, Hunter finally said, "Have you forgotten what


    you promised me before? I warned youst time, what exactly do you want? Are you still not


    satisfied with everything now?"This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
