Chapter 164
When Ines and Erica came downstairs, Phillip and Silvia were ying chess. Silvia was
comining in dissatisfaction, "Grandpa, you''ve tricked me again. You set a trap for me to fall into.
You don''t even give me a break. How can I ever win against you like this?"
"That’s because you’re so stupid. You must have not practiced while you were abroad. You returned
all the skills I taught you," Phillip huffed, but Ines could hear the fondness in his voice.
"Silvia, Izzy and I are going shopping. Do you want to stay at home with grandpa, or do you want to
come with us?" Erica asked.
Without a second thought, Silvia said, "I''ll stay at home with grandpa. You guys can go ahead. I''m
going to start looking for a job soon, so I probably won''t have much free time. I should spend these
free days with grandpa."
At this, Phillip frowned, "Why look for a job? You could just let Ethan arrange a position for you at
the Meyer Group. Is Ethan not willing to help you?"
"No, I want to do something rted to my major. I don''t want my years of studying to be wasted,"
Silvia quicklyforted Phillip. Phillip nced at Silvia, "I didn''t expect you to be so ambitious.
Alright, don''t apany me for today. Since you''re going to work, go shopping with them. Let them
pick out some work clothes for you. You need to look the part."
"Silvia, you can alwayse and spend time with grandpa on the weekends. Let''s go shopping
today," Erica also chimed in.
Silvia finally agreed to go shopping. "Alright, I''lle to visit you another time, grandpa."
The three of them headed to the mall. Ines didn''t really have anything to buy since she had clothes
regrly delivered to her house. Her closet was still filled with clothes with tags on them, so she
focused on picking out outfits for Silvia, and selected two sets of professional attire for her.
Erica was quite satisfied, "Not bad, Izzy has good taste. This style really suits Silvia."
Looking at Silvia dressed like this, Erica couldn''t help but think of Le. The two sisters really did
look alike. If it weren''t for their different dispositions, people who didn''t know them well could easily
mix them up.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Silvia also couldn''t help but be a little dazed. She seemed to see her
sister, Le, who also looked gorgeous in these types of clothes.

Seeing Silvia in a daze, Ines thought she didn''t like the outfits, "What do you think, Silvia? If you
don''t like them, we can choose others. We have plenty of time today."
"No, I really like them, and they fit me well. Let''s get these two. Can you hand me my purse?"
Silvia had given her bag to Ines when she was changing.
"Silvia, consider these my wee gifts to you. I''ll pay," Ines said, pulling out her credit card from
her own bag.
"No, I can pay. I made some money when I was studying abroad, enough tost me for a while."
Silvia tried to retrieve her purse from Ines, but Ines was quicker and had already handed her card to
the cashier.
As Ines tried to push Silvia''s purse back into her bag, she identally dropped it. When she bent
down to pick it up, a picture inside caught her attention. The two women in the picture were
standing side by side, one in a school uniform with a big smile on her face, the other in a pale blue
suit with a cold expression. The simr faces made Ines pause. She knew it was a picture of Le
and Silvia. The younger Silvia was much younger than she is now, but the current Silvia looked
more mature and more like Le, as if they were cut from the same cloth.
So this is what Le looked like. She was quite beautiful.
How does Ethan feel seeing someone who looks so simr to his ex-girlfriend all these years?
Ines felt something strange in her heart. It was an odd feeling that she couldn''t quite describe.
Realizing she was daydreaming, Ines quickly picked the purse up and handed it back to Silvia:
"Hurry up and put it away. Don''t be shy, everyone''s watching."
Silviaughed a little awkwardly, "Thanks for treating me, I''ll repay you next time."
Ines smiled slightly, "You and your sister look very alike."
Silvia paused, knowing that Ines had seen the picture in her purse, "We didn''t look alike when we
were younger, but we look more and more alike as we grow older."
"Izzy, Silvia, what are you guys talking about? Come help me pick out this dress," Erica''s attention
was caught by a dress, so she didn''t notice what was happening between them.
The two walked over. After taking a serious look, Silvia said, "It suits you."
Ines also nodded, and Erica happily paid for the dress.
After a round of shopping, Erica noticed that Ines hadn''t bought anything and couldn''t help but ask,
"Izzy, didn''t you see anything you liked? Why didn''t you buy anything?"
"Ethan has the store send a bunch of new styles to the house every couple of months. I have so
many clothes with the tags still on, I can''t wear them all. Let''s go to the front, I want to buy Ethan a
couple of shirts."
Erica didn''t say anything more after hearing Ines''s exnation. They went into an Armani store,
where Ines was drawn to a striped shirt. All of Ethan''s shirts were white, and it felt like he wore the
same one every day.
"Can I see arge one, please?" Ines asked the saleswoman.
Silvia couldn''t help but walk over and look at the shirt Ines had chosen. She hesitated a bit, but
finally couldn''t resist saying, "Ethan might not like this style, it''s a bit shy."
Inesughed, "His shirts are really too in. He should try some new styles every once in a while.
I''ll buy it and let him see. If he really doesn''t like it, he won''t have to wear it."
A smile tugged at the corners of Silvia''s mouth, "True, Ethan''s clothes are really too in. He only
likes to wear white shirts and dark suits. He should change his style asionally." For some
reason, Ines felt a bit ufortable, so she chose two shirts that were not pure white.
