Chapter 139
Ines really dug the honesty between her and Ethan. Although she had always trusted him, not
knowing his past had left her feeling a bit uneasy. Now, she''s chill.
She hung around Ethan''s office for an afternoon, then tagged along with him to the Military in the
evening.
"Izzy,e on in. Grandpa made you some soup; he''s been simmering it since morning. Bet it''s a
bomb." Phillip Meyer waved her over as soon as she arrived at the Meyer Mansion.
Ethan, standing behind her, raised an eyebrow. He was used to being invisible whenever his wife
was around.
Ines moved forward, linked arms with Phillip, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you''re too sweet."
"You shouldn''t be so formal; we''re family." Phillip patted her hand.
A servant brought the soup up.
Ines happily took it. The weather was a bit chilly, and the soup felt warm in her hands.
Ines felt a warmth in her heart and downed a big bowl. The soup was as delicious as Phillip had
promised.
Soon, the others came in. The Jacob Meyer family, Erica—they were all back. It seemed like an
unspoken rule of the Meyer family to gather on the weekends, no matter how busy they were during
the week.
Ines stood up to greet them.
"Sis, what''s Grandpa been brewing up for you this time?" Ashley''s voice rang out.
"You just got back, and you''re already nagging. I''ll have them serve you a bowl too," Phillip said.
Ines was totally stuffed today, having downed two big bowls of pheasant soup. Ethan tried to say
something a few times, but seeing how much she was enjoying the soup, he backed off. After
dinner, they went upstairs. Ines remembered a biography she read a while ago, Chasing the Sun.
There was a woman''s handwriting in it, and now she knew it was Le''s. Ines handed the book to
Ethan, asking, "Did you notice these words in the book?" She flipped to the page with the sentence
and showed it to Ethan. Ethan nced at it, his eyes flickering. He remembered that it was the first
time he confessed to Le, but she rejected him without hesitation. Not long after, she gave him a
book. He flipped through a few pages and lost interest, so he didn''t continue. He didn''t expect to
find such a message in the book.
So Le epted his confession long ago.
He looked at Ines beside him, gave a slight smile, pinched her cheek, and asked, "Are you
jealous?"
Ines shook her head, then pouted at Ethan, saying, "If I were jealous, I wouldn''t show you this."
"Izzy, you''re so generous," Ethan teased.
Ines thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I don''t know why; maybe because she''s just
someone you can''t hate." She was a bit jealous before she knew the truth, but after understanding
what happened between them, she gained respect for Le.
Ethan was taken aback, then held Ines tightly. Discussing his youthful love with another woman was
something he had never thought of.
Held so tightly by Ethan, Ines felt a bit hot and pushed him away, saying, "Don''t hold me so tight; I''m
hot."
Ethan''s big hand could not help but gently knead her waist, and he deliberately breathed a hot
breath on her face. Ines shivered sensitively and pushed him again. "I told you to back off; can''t you
understand?"
Ethan slowly said with a smile, "Izzy, I have a way to cool you down. Wanna try?"
Ines didn''t hesitate: "Sure, what is it? Tell me."
"This is your own choice." Ethan''s tone was full of joy. He caught Ines off guard, picked her up, and
threw her onto the bed. As soon as shended, his hot body was on top of hers, his desire evident
in his eyes. Ines suddenly realized what he meant and tried to struggle, but he held her hands
tightly. Looking at his face so close, Ines felt her mouth dry and unconsciously licked her lips.

"Ethan, let me go." She was so foolish to trust this rascal.
"Madam, stop struggling." Ethanughed softly in her ear, his voice low and charming.
Ethan held her in his arms, kissing her deeply. Ines felt her body trembling and couldn''t help but
moan softly. Before long, she let go of all her restraint and reason.
