Chapter 267


    Erica couldn''t help but shake her head, "That woman was truly unbelievable, to do such a thing to


    her own flesh and blood."


    Cam too, couldn''t hold back her exmation, "Killed her husband, and stole from her daughter,


    I''ve never seen such a shameless person."


    "Don''t worry, she won''t get away with this. Karma''s a bitch, and it wille for her. She won''t end


    well being with her ex-con husband. Let her enjoy her freedom and the thrill of the outside world for


    a while. The real torment will be the long days in jail."


    Seeing Ines speak like this, Erica''s eyes twinkled withughter, "You''ve been hanging out with


    Ethan too much, you''re getting a bit cheeky."


    Ines blushed a bit, "Nonsense, I''m just stating the facts."


    "Alright, it''s gettingte. You and Ethan should get some rest."


    Ines nodded, "Erica, Cam, you don''t have to wait up for us. Go to bed when you''re tired. Ethan


    and I will be fine."


    A smile shed across Erica''s face, "Well, don''t expect me to keep youpany tomorrow. It''s the


    weekend, I''m going to spend it at the Meyer Mansion. Cam will be heading home too."


    Seeing Erica like this, Ines couldn''t help but joke, "You look so happy. Missing Trenton, are you?"


    Seeing her inws'' affection for each other made Ines extremely happy. Such a loving family was


    truly rare.


    "Of course, me missing him is just like you missing Ethan''s arms. I haven''t been sleeping well these


    past few nights," Erica said without missing a beat.


    Ines pouted, chastising herself for her mistake. She wanted to joke with her mother-inw, but her


    level of wit was stillcking.


    Ericaughed, "If you''re free tomorrow, why not visit the Meyer Mansion? Trenton and the old man


    are missing you."


    "Alright, we''ll handle things at the office in the morning and head to the Mansion in the afternoon."


    When Ines entered the bedroom, Ethan had already showered. He was justing out of the


    bathroom, shirtless, and Ines couldn''t help but blush, her eyes darting around.


    "Izzy, help me dry my hair."


    Ines walked over, a bit annoyed, and quickly threw his pajamas at him, "Put on your clothes before


    you catch a cold."


    Ethan put his pajamas on carelessly, without buttoning them up. Ines rarely saw him like this, and


    sheughed as she buttoned him up, then stood behind him to dry his hair, and even gave him a


    shoulder massage.


    Ethan''s lips curled into a smile. He turned around and said, "Our Izzy is really thoughtful tonight,


    even knowing my shoulders are sore."


    Ines didn''t say anything, just smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling him not to move.


    They both had the same daily routine, and Ethan always remembered Hunter''s advice to give her a


    massage every now and then. Knowing how tired he was, she naturally wanted him to rx.


    Ethan''s shoulder muscles were quite hard, and Ines was soon out of strength. She rested her entire


    body on his shoulder, hugging his neck and not wanting to move,ining softly, "I thought


    massaging you would be easy."


    Ethan gently patted her hand, "You said you''re tired, go take a shower, then go to sleep."


    Ines nodded, then walked into the bathroom. Seeing her tired, Ethan couldn''t help but remind her,


    "Izzy, be careful, don''t slip."


    "I know. You go to sleep first. Don''t disturb me." She replied. The house was carpeted everywhere


    to prevent slipping, so the probability was almost zero.


    Ethan casually picked up a book and read it in bed until Ines came out. Seeing him still awake, she


    handed him the hairdryer, "Could you do me a favor?"


    Seeing her take this for granted, Ethan''s smile deepened. Leaning against Ethan, Ines said, "Mom


    suggested that we visit the Mansion tomorrow if we have time?"


    "Do you want to go?"


    "It doesn''t matter to me. I n to sleep all weekend, regardless of where I am. I''ve been feeling


    sleep-deprivedtely."


    Ethanughed, "Then let''s just stay home. I don''t want to make the trip. It''s too far. We can rest at


    home for a few days, and I''ll cook something for you."


    "Can I have spicy chicken? Cam''s dishes have been a bit ndtely. I love your cooking, and


    you haven''t cooked in a while. If you don''t practice your culinary skills, they''ll get rusty. Cook


    something tomorrow. You know, don''t waste your talents." Ines said softly. Her voice was always


    softer when she was tired, sounding more like a sweet whisper.


    Ethan raised an eyebrow, "With suchpliments, how can I refuse?"


    "Of course not, it''s settled then. We''ll go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy ingredients and cook


    ourselves."


    Ethan affectionately pinched Ines''s nose, "Alright, but I can only make it mildly spicy. Too much


    spicy food can give you heartburn."


    "No problem, as long as you cook it, I''ll love it."

    Ethan thought Ines was particrly sweet tonight, "You''re in a good mood tonight?"


    Ines nodded, "We''ve found out the truth about dad''s case. Although she escaped, Emma finally saw


    her true colors. Maybe that was dad''s wish. Thinking about it this way, the money we lost doesn''t


    seem so important." After these experiences, she felt that money really didn''t matter. Nothing was


    more important than family.


    "You''re talking like money is no big deal, but that''s quite a sum. I estimate it to be millions." Ethan


    joked.


    Ines pinched his arm hard, but there was no excess fat to pinch, "Ethan, stop teasing me."


    "I wouldn''t dare to mock you, or else you''ll kick me to the couch if you''re not pleased," Ines recalled


    the time when he had to sleep on the couch and tricked her into opening the door by pretending to


    be sick. A smirk crept onto her face, "Maybe I should do that again, see what other tricks you have


    up your sleeve to fool me."
