Chapter 218
Ines was supposed to move in with the Meyer family, but Ethan wasn''t satisfied with the facilities
there. So, he decided to refurbish the ce. Anti-slip carpets wereid everywhere necessary, and
even the stairs got a new makeover. As such, Ines had to spend a few more days at their city home.
At lunchtime, Ines was dozing off when she heard Cam knocking at the door, "Ms. Galeana,
there''s ady named Phoebe looking for you. Shall I let her in?"
Ines woke up a bit and replied, "Cam, she''s a good friend of mine. Let her in."
Ines quickly got out of bed and got dressed. As she came out of the bedroom, Phoebe just came in.
Looking at her messy hair, Phoebe was surprised and said, "Won''t Mr. Meyer be turned off by you
looking like this?"
"I''m not like you, always needing to be all dolled up whether at home or out and about." Ines said.
"I just care about my image. You, on the other hand, don''t need any makeup." Phoebe said,
pinching Ines''s face.
Inesughed and brushed her hand away, looking at her helplessly, "What brought you here all of a
sudden?"
Phoebe told Ines, "I''m here to see the baby, it has nothing to do with you."
Ines looked at Phoebe''s empty hands. Since they were best friends, they were pretty straight with
each other, "You didn''t bring any gifts, why are you here?"
Phoebe shook her head, looking at Ines speechlessly, "Since you''ve be ady of leisure, you
seem to have developed a fondness for pinching pennies. You weren''t like this before."
"This is not pinching pennies, it''s your sincerity as a godmother." Ines said.
"Well, I''m off to see the baby then." Phoebe was about to lift Ines''s clothes.
Inesughed and pped her hand away, "You can''t just touch me like that. I''m a married woman
now."
"I don''t care about that. We''ve known each other since we were kids, I''ve seen every part of you."
Phoebe grabbed Ines''s hand, pressed it against Ines''s belly over the clothes, and said seriously,
"Babies, whether you''re little princes or princesses, I''ll love you all the same. Remember, I''m your
godmother, Phoebe. Be sure to remember my name. You have to smile at me when you''re born,
then I''ll give you presents, got it?"
"Phoebe, the babies are still too small. They can''t understand what you''re saying." Ines said.
"Even if they can''t understand, they can get used to my voice. Have you started prenatal education
for them?" Phoebe asked, looking up.
Ines shook her head, they seemed to have forgotten about this, "Not yet."
Phoebe showed a satisfied smile, as if she had nned everything in advance. She took out two
CDs from her bag and handed them to Ines. Ines took a nce, they were collections of world-
famous ssical music, "Is this your gift?"
"Of course, if it''s a boy, he can grow up to be a reserved pianist. If it''s a girl, she can be a ssy
little princess." Phoebe said.
A reserved pianist, Ines thought better of it. She didn''t like boys being too reserved. She liked the
type like Ethan, sometimes gentlemanly, sometimes domineering.
"You can make your future son a pianist, but I don''t like it." Ines said.

"What''s wrong with being a pianist?" Phoebe asked, looking at Ines puzzled.
"Such people are usually introverted. I prefer children who are cheerful." Ines said.
Ines didn''t think Phoebe was just here to give her prenatal education CDs, so she asked, "Do you
have anything else to tell me?"
"You''re overthinking it. I really just came to see you. Didn''t you say you''re going to live with the
Meyer family soon? It''s not easy to get in there, and once you''re in, it''s hard to get out. Your life will
be confined there, I came to chat with you to prepare in advance." Phoebe said.
"I''m going there to enjoy life, not to be imprisoned." Ines gave Phoebe a re.
Phoebe looked at Ines seriously for a while, "Don''t say things like that casually. It''s not just a day or
two, but half a year. You, who likes to keep busy, might feel bored when you''re idle."
"Don''t instill negative thoughts in me, you''re scaring me. Have you seen Samuel?" Ines asked
cautiously.
Phoebe reluctantly said, "Not yet, we haven''t been in contact for so many years, how could we meet
so soon."
"Every time I mention him, you look reluctant. Let me remind you, I heard grandpa say the other day
that Noel''s grandpa is still pushing him to go on blind dates. You better watch out." Ines said.
"I got it. You''ve been influenced by my mom, always lecturing me. I actually came to invite you to go
shopping. I wouldn''t just give you two CDs. Today, I''ll personally take you to pick out gifts for my
little ones. Don''t be shy, buy whatever you like." Phoebe said.
"Are we going now?" Ines asked.
"Yes, there aren''t many people shopping at this time." Phoebe said.
Ines thought for a moment and said, "I need to tell Ethan first."
"I knew you would say that, so I''ve already spoken to Ethan. He agreed; he told me to take you and
bring you back safely, and to bring Cam along." Phoebe said.
Ines smiled and said, "Alright, I''ll go change my clothes."
The three of them went straight to a mall in the city center, where Phoebe took Ines to a jewelry
store. Inesughed and looked at her, "You''re really going all out, bringing me to a ce like this."
"Come on, let''s go in. This ce is nothing special." Phoebe urged.
Ines had one foot in the door, but stopped when she saw the people inside. Phoebe followed her
gaze and saw Hunter and Ss standing in front of the counter, a man holding an antique was
exining to them, "Mr. Galeana, this is something our president specifically had me find for you.
There are two of them, said to be gifts from a nobleman to his son and daughter in the 16th century.
Heter sold them due to financial pressure. If it''s for twins, it couldn''t be more perfect. Antiques like
this are notmon on the market."
