Chapter 107


    Ethan looked at Ines seriously, "Is that really what you think?"


    "Of course, I''ve told you before, I''m serious about marriage. I know what it means." Ines said


    solemnly.


    "Izzy, my Izzy..." Ethan whispered.


    Ines looked up at him with a smile. Ethan''srge hand held her waist tightly, lifting her onto hisp


    and quickly leaning in for a kiss. He admired her rationality and cool head, always knowing exactly


    what she was doing.


    His heart was so full of joy that his kiss was intense. Ines could even feel his heart pounding. She


    also smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and responding actively. They simply held each


    other and kissed, slowly, gently, losing themselves in the moment, only pulling away when they


    were both breathless.


    Ines leaned against him in silence, calming her heartbeat.


    Ethan gently stroked her cheek and said seriously, "Izzy, whatever anyone says to you, don''t just


    believe it. If you want to know the truth, just ask me."


    Ines nodded, "I understand." She realized she had been too quick to believe Emma''s words.


    She didn''t know that what she thought was a big deal was nothing to him.


    After a while, Ines yawned, "Let''s go to bed early tonight. We have to catch a flight early tomorrow."


    She quicklyy down, and Ethan knew she was avoiding something. Heughed andy beside


    her, letting her head rest on his arm and his hand rest on her waist. Ines quickly found a


    comfortable position and closed her eyes.


    Her face was peaceful. Ethan smiled, gave her a gentle kiss, and fell asleep with her.


    The next day, they booked tickets back to A City and went straight to the Military Base.


    It turned out that a few days ago, grandpa had invited them to dinner at the Meyer Mansion. Ethan


    had said she was on a business trip, but grandpa sensed something was wrong. He thought they


    had had a fight.


    If grandpa knew, the rest of the Meyer family would also know. To reassure the family, they had to


    make a personal visit to the Meyer Mansion.


    Even seeing them hand in hand, Phillip was still worried, "Izzy, why did you suddenly go on


    vacation? Did Ethan treat you bad? You tell grandpa, and grandpa will teach him a lesson."


    Ines shook her head and smiled at Phillip, "No, grandpa, I just needed a break."


    "You guys really didn''t fight?" Phillip asked.


    Ethan looked helplessly at his grandpa, "Grandpa, are you hoping for me and Izzy to fight?"


    At this point, Erica came down from upstairs, gave him a re, and said to Ines, "Izzy, I bought you


    a new coat a few days ago. Try it onter, and if it doesn''t fit, I''ll have someone bring a different


    size."


    "Okay, mom." Ethan scratched his head and whispered to Ines, "Am I really their grandson and


    son? They all seem to have a problem with me. As soon as you came back, they started calling you


    Izzy. Why has it changed?"


    Ines looked at Ethan, "Are you jealous?"


    "No, you''re overthinking." Erica stood next to them, overheard their conversation, and said, "Before,


    I was hoping you''d get married. Now it''s different. You''re married and no use to me. I want Izzy to


    have a baby, so naturally, I have to treat Izzy better. Is that right, Izzy?”


    Ines nodded, her face red. Ethan looked at Erica disapprovingly, "Are you sure I''m no use? Without


    me, could Izzy have a baby on her own?"


    "Do I not know you? No matter how I treat you, you''ll always try your best. So why should I waste


    my energy?" Erica said confidently.


    Ethan was stunned and found himself unable to argue.

    Ines couldn''t help butugh. Ethan was finally at a loss for words.


    Phillip had been standing to one side, observing Ines closely, when he suddenly said, "Izzy, have


    you lost weight again?"


    Ines walked over and linked arms with him, "No, grandpa, I''m actually a pound heavier than I was


    before our wedding." "That''s not good enough, you''re still too skinny. I''m going hunting with some


    friends in the mountains soon. I''ll get you some wild chickens to help you build up your strength."


    Phillip and his friends had a tradition of hunting in the mountains every year.


    "Don''t go to all that trouble." Ines was worried about her grandpa exerting himself too much at his


    age.


    "No, it''s settled. When I catch them, I''ll make some soup and have it sent to your office." Phillip


    insisted.


    After lunch, Ines was called into Erica''s room to try on the new coat. It was a pink coat that cinched


    perfectly at the waist, highlighting her fair skin.


    "Thank you." Ines said.


    Erica signaled Ines to sit down. Ines knew her mother-inw had something to say, so she sat down


    on the edge of the bed. "Izzy, Ethan told me why you two were fighting. I know everything." Erica


    said.
