Chapter 226
"Alright, he''s definitely noting, so don''t sweat it," Ethanforted.
"How are the little ones doing today? Let me feel." Ethan reached into Ines'' clothing, gently rubbing
her belly. Ines felt a ticklish sensation, but she was used to Ethan''s actions. Ever since she got
pregnant, he would touch her belly whenever he had the chance, trying to sense the babies''
movements.
Ines suddenly thought of something, "Ethan, we don''t need to find out the gender of the babies in
advance. It''ll be a nice surprise when they''re born." Ethan stared at Ines for a moment, then
chuckled and pinched her nose, "Silly girl, whether it''s a boy or a girl, I''ll love them all the same." He
was sure he had already told her this, why didn''t she believe him?
Ines lowered her head, feeling slightly guilty, "I didn''t mean it that way, I just wanted to keep it as a
surprise."
"You can''t fool me, your thoughts are written all over your face. But you''re right, let''s await the
arrival of our little ones together." Ethan said.
Ines didn''t speak, she just stared at Ethan as heughed. Looking at her face, he couldn''t resist and
leaned in for a kiss. Ines gripped his clothing, passionately reciprocating his kiss. After a while,
Ethan gently shifted her beneath him, being careful to avoid her belly.
The air conditioning wasn''t turned on in the bedroom, and Ines felt her face heat up. Seeing this,
Ethan, with a grin on his face, began to kiss her again.
"Don''t worry, the doctor said after the first trimester it''s safe. I''ll be careful, I won''t hurt the babies."
Ethan said.
Hearing him say this, Ines'' tense bodypletely rxed, and she wrapped her arms tightly around
his neck.
Being pregnant wasn''t as dull as she had imagined. Ines led a very regr life, eating breakfast on
time, taking a nap at noon, and reading when she was bored. She had been busy with work for the
past few years and didn''t have much time for herself, so Ines nned to use her pregnancy as an
opportunity to read the books she had always wanted to read. At night, she would take walks at the
Base with Erica. She had a good memory and recognized many people at the base. She spent
about the same amount of time with Ethan as when she was working, but maybe because of the
pregnancy, she often missed Ethan and wanted him to be by her side.
She missed Ethan during the day, but when he came home at night, she would fall asleep in his
arms after just a few words.
Before every meal, Ines would eat some cantaloupe, which had significantly alleviated her severe
morning sickness. Phillip and Erica''s faces were also filled with smiles. Cam said, "Izzy''s
morning sickness phase should be over now."
Ines also felt much better, and her appetite had increased.
One day, Ines was reading in her room when Cam suddenly knocked on her door. Her door was
open, so she saw Cam right away, "What''s up, Cam?"
"They''ve sent more stuff." Cam had been at the Military Base for a while and knew that Ines and
Hunter didn''t get along.
Ines'' expression changed slightly. Hunter hadn''te to retrieve the album as he had said, but he
kept sending stuff over. At first, Phillip would ept the deliveries, butter, Ines found out about it
from an offhandment he made.
Naturally, she was angry and no longer allowed her family to ept the deliveries. Hunter stopped
after a few days, but unexpectedly he started again.
"Don''t ept it. I don''t need it." Ines said coldly.
Cam nodded and then went downstairs. When Phillip saw hering down, he asked, "Is Izzy
still refusing the gifts?"
"Yes, as soon as she hears it''s from him, her face changes." Cam said.
Phillip shook his head, "That kid is really stubborn. I don''t know how long it''ll take for her to cool
down, but let her handle it. Their father-daughter issue will be resolved one day. Just do as she
says. We don''t want these things, send them back."
"Okay, I''ll go do it right away." Cam said.
At noon, Ines received a call from Emma. Since Ines hadn''t saved her number, she didn''t know who
it was, so she picked up without suspicion.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Ines couldn''t help but say "hello"
twice. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard a voice, "Ines, it''s me."
Emma. Ines furrowed her brows and asked in a calm voice, "What do you want?"
"I just wanted..." Emma stuttered on the other end of the line, and Ines had no idea what she was
trying to say, "Spit it out, or I''m hanging up."
Hearing her threat to hang up, Emma quickly said, "Don''t hang up yet, I have something to tell you."
"Then spit it out." Ines said.
Emma took a deep breath and quickly said, "Thank you."
Ines was taken aback for a moment, then realized it was because she had helped make a call a few
days ago. She was somewhat surprised that Emma would personally call to thank her, which was
quite unexpected.

"I''m back home resting now, and I really appreciate what you did." Emma seemed to find it easier to
speak after getting the first sentence out of the way.
"Don''t thank me, you were just lucky. If Ss hadn''t been nearby that day, I wouldn''t have been able
to help you even if I wanted to." Ines said.
"Oh." Emma responded coldly.
"If there''s nothing else, I''m hanging up." Ines said.
"Mm." Emma didn’t speak anymore.
Ines looked at her phone and chuckled, what kind of attitude was that? It seemed like she wasn''t
the one who had initiated the call.
Just as she was about to hang up, Emma seemed to remember something and suddenly called out
to her, "Wait, I forgot something."
"What is it?" Ines asked.
"Well. Father has been home for half a month now, and Ss wants us to have a family dinner. Can
youe tonight? I promise it won''t be ufortable likest time." Emma said.
