Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 27

The daring thought crossed her mind, but Ines immediately pushed it away, chuckling and shaking her head. How could that be possible? Her husband came from an ordinary family and ran a small business. Besides, he always took a taxi when he went out. How could he be connected to the dazzling Ethan?

But she couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed and bitter deep down, pressing her hand to her chest. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Seeing Ines frowning, Phoebe worriedly asked, "Izzy, are you feeling upset?" After all, she had once been so infatuated with him. Even if she had forgotten, there would still be some feelings left, right?

Ines didn't want her friend to worry about her, so she forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, don't overthink it. I just thought it was a funny coincidence that the man I married also happens to be named Ethan."

"What a coincidence! Could it be the same person?" Phoebe exclaimed.

Ines shook her head. "No, it's just a namesake."

Phoebe wasn't convinced, "What are the odds? They're both from A City. Let me search." She pulled out her phone and started searching. The results made her give up on the idea. "There are 10 other Ethans in A City, besides the one from the Meyer Group. 3 are small business owners, 2 are regular employees, and 1 is an engineer. It's just that Ethan is so elusive, never accepting interviews. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble." Phoebe said.

Seeing Ines visibly affected by this, Phoebe regretted impulsively telling her about Ethan.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I won't go to work this afternoon. I'll go shopping with you and help you pick out some wedding gifts." Phoebe said.

Ines got herself an A City phone card and sent messages to her friends and family. After thinking about it, she also sent a message to Ethan, telling him that she and her friend were out shopping.

Ethan replied immediately, asking her to call him when she was done shopping, and he would come pick her up.

There were many famous malls in the city center. The two of them had only been shopping for an hour, and their hands were already full. Most of the stuff was Phoebe's, and Ines had to remind her, "Phoebe, I'm becoming your free labor." Ines spread out the shopping bags in front of Phoebe.

Phoebe raised her eyebrows and sighed, "I only wish I had a boyfriend at times like this. Oh, why didn't I think of this? Let's get your husband to come out at lunchtime, and I can take advantage of his free labor, too."

The term husband made Ines blush and she said, "He's at work, he doesn't have that much time."

"Look at you, just got married and already thinking about your man. So, how far have you two progressed? How's married life?" Phoebe nudged her with her shoulder, grinning mischievously.

Caught off guard by the question in the middle of the busy street, Ines was a little annoyed. She lowered her voice, "Let's talk about this stuff at home."

In the end, Phoebe dragged Ines into a lingerie store. She put the shopping bags on the counter and pushed Ines in front of it. Turning to the salesperson, she said, "My best friend just got married. Can you help her pick out some sexy lingerie that will catch a man's attention? You know, the kind that makes them nosebleed at first sight."
