Chapter 227


    Ines didn''t want to go at all.


    "Ines, you gotta make it, I want to thank you in person, but I can''t get into the Base, so I have to


    bother you toe over." Emma said.


    "Nah, you guys eat up. I''m not going." Last time she was helpless, this time she really didn''t want to


    go.


    "Ines!" Emma yelled out loud.


    "Enough, I''m hanging up." Ines hung up after she said.


    At the same time, Ethan got a call from the States. After the phone call, he seemed a bit dazed, his


    eyes dull.


    After Emma hung up the phone, she noticed Shirley was giving her a cold stare. The chill in


    Shirley''s eyes scared her. She had never seen this kind of look from her before. It seemed like


    Shirley''s gaze had been strange for a few days, as if she was trying to control something.


    "Mom, don''t look at me like that, it scares me." Emma frowned.


    "Why did you call Ines and invite her over? You need to know your ce. You''re the only daughter


    of the Galeana family now, Ines was kicked out by your father." Shirley seemed to be hit hard, she


    couldn''t control her emotions, her voice involuntarily raised.


    "Mom, what''s going on with you?" Emma''s voice was weak, but she was also worried.


    Shirley took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, "I''m fine. I''m asking you, did your father ask


    you to invite Ines over?"


    "Mom, why would Dad ask me to do that? I invited her over because she helped me that day. I told


    you what happened, I fell and nobody around wanted to help me. It was her who called Ss at the


    crucial moment, otherwise I wouldn''t have been able to keep my baby." Remembering what


    happened that day, Emma was still a little scared, her hand covering her belly.


    "Baby? You only think about the baby! Don''t forget you''re Ms. Emma of the Galeana family. If one


    day you lose this title, you''ll lose everything." Shirley said.


    Emma''s face changed when she heard this, she stared at Shirley seriously, "Mom, do you know


    something? Aren''t we doing well now? I think Dad still cares about me. When I almost had a


    miscarriage, Dad scolded Aiden."


    Shirley scoffed, her coldugh hanging in the air, "Your father is not the man I used to know. He''s


    been running the Galeana Group for so many years, his methods are beyond our imagination. If


    he''s nice to you, there must be a reason."


    "Mom, what''s going on? If you know something, tell me. We can think of a solution together. I''m


    really worried about you." Emma said.


    Shirley didn''t say anything, just gently patted her shoulder, "Don''t worry, what''s ours is ours, no one


    can take it away. I won''t let us be left with nothing."


    In the afternoon, Ines was ying chess with Phillip when a car sound came from outside.


    Who woulde at this time? Ines was wondering when she heard Camughing, "It''s Ethan


    coming back."

    Hearing this, Ines paused with the chess piece in her hand, turned her head and saw Ethan walking


    in with his car keys in one hand and his coat in the other, a faint smile on his face.


    Seeing him like this, Ines also smiled.


    Phillip couldn''t help but poke Ines''s forehead, "I spend every day with you and I never see you this


    happy; Ethanes home a day early and you''re all smiles."


    Cam alsoughed on the side, "I''ve been living with them for a while now, I''ve seen a lot of their


    sweet moments. They''ve been married for over half a year and they''re still like newlyweds. It''s really


    rare."


    Ines was a bit embarrassed by their words, she wanted to stand up, but in the end she just sat


    there.


    Ethan walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, "Did your chess skills improve?"


    "It''s okay, a lot better than when I first started." Ines said.


    Phillip looked at their sweet appearance and shook his head with a smile, "I think I''ll go back to my


    room to sleep. You''re not in the mood to y chess with me anymore; your heart is with someone


    else."


    "Grandpa." Ines blushed and protested.


    Phillip rubbed his chin and walked to his room, Cam also got up and went to the kitchen.


    "Ethan, why did youe back so early today?" Ines looked up at him, frowning slightly.


    Ethan sat down beside her, naturally wrapping his arm around her, "Because I missed Izzy and the


    babies, so I came back early to see."


    Hearing her husband missed her, Ines felt good. She lightly pat his chest, "We won''t run away


    secretly, you can see us when you get off work."


    "I miss you every minute I don''t see you." Ethan said.


    "Stop talking nonsense." Ines''s eyesnded on the clock on the wall, and she became serious, "Mr.


    Meyer, it''s only four thirty now, so you must have left thepany at three thirty, you left really


    early."


    She didn''t really like him doing this; he was always so busy. Leaving thepany today didn''t mean


    he didn''t need to work. He still needed to work overtime to make up for it, and in the end he would


    be the one getting tired.


    Ethan held her hand and gently kissed it, "Izzy, let''s join the Galeana family for dinner tonight. Ss


    just called me and said Eda specifically prepared your favorite dishes." Ines was stunned, she felt


    Ethan was a bit strange, she looked at him with a puzzled look, "Why would I go there for dinner


    when Cam can make whatever I want to eat? Not only am I toozy to go, but I also won''t be


    happy seeing those people."
