Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 248

"No way, I saw the chairman put it in that drawer with my own two eyes. Only he and I have the keys. How could it be missing?" Silas's face turned serious.

"I've looked everywhere and turned every drawer upside down, but it's still not there." Eda confirmed again.

Ines instantly got nervous. The will disappeared.

Ethan frowned, tightly holding her hand and whispered: "It's gonna be okay."

Emma remained silent, not uttering a word.

"Okay, Shirley should be back any minute. If you still can't find it, better scoot before she returns and gives you a hard time." Silas instructed.

After hanging up, Silas looked serious. He turned to Ethan and Ines, "Mr Meyer, Ms Ines, don't panic. I'll go back and take a look myself. The will couldn't have just vanished."

Ines knitted her brows and asked, "Is there only one copy of the will? Are there any copies at the notary's or the lawyer's?"

"No, the will was just drafted. I haven't had a chance to get it notarized or give it to a lawyer. The chairman just drafted it when he got back from the States." Silas answered calmly.

"Then this matter will be troublesome," Ethan said. Silas looked at them worried, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. There's another will at the law firm. Both wills are the same, except one was made when Ms Ines just returned.. The chairman wanted to revise the will when he found out you and Ms Emma were expecting, considering his unborn grandchild, but apparently, he didn't get around to it."

Upon hearing this, Emma's eyelashes fluttered. She carefully weighed Silas's words. The revision was because of the babies, which meant there was a share for the children. But if it were the last will, it would have nothing to do with the children. Mom, you've really screwed me over. Emma closed her eyes helplessly.

Upon hearing Silas's words, Ines felt relieved. Hunter had planned for her to return to the Galeana Group. He must know what to do.

Just then, Rita Page called and said she and Zander Payne were already home. She suggested they come over when they had time.

"Silas, when will you deal with the branch office?" Ethan asked.

"I'll go there first thing tomorrow morning. You guys can head home if you have stuff to do." Silas smiled.

Ethan nodded and left with Ines.

As soon as they got in the car, Ines threw herself into Ethan's arms, holding him tightly around the waist. Ethan couldn't help but lightly tug her ear, "What's up? What happened?"

Ines didn't say anything, just held him tightly. Ethan didn't disturb her, knowing she needed comfort.

After a while, Ines said: "Ethan, thank you." Without him, she would have fallen apart with all that was happening. With him by her side, she felt secure and wasn't afraid of the road ahead.

"You silly goose, always saying silly things. I'm your husband. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side." Ethan gently brushed Ines's hair.

Ines looked up, her dark eyes staring at Ethan, a small smile on her lips. Her smooth and delicate face looked especially charming.

Ethan couldn't help but stroke her head, gently kissing her lips. Ines wrapped her arms around his neck, slowly responding to his kiss. She loved the feeling of being held by him. It filled every cell in her body with happiness.

After a while, Ethan let go of Ines. Ines leaned against him, slowly regaining her breath. She played with his hand, "Mr Meyer, did I ever tell you?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

There was a twinkle in Ethan's eye, "Tell me what? The three words "I love you"?

Ines blushed slightly, pinching his hand, "Less of the cheesy talk. I meant to say you make me feel safe."

Ethan chuckled, resting his chin on her head, rubbing it gently, "I'm glad I can make you feel that way. It means I've been a decent husband so far."

Ines sat up straight, looking at Ethan seriously, "Decent, you've always been more than decent."

Ethan looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but laugh. He was glad she could recover from her pain so quickly. He always knew she was strong inside. Given time, she would bounce back.

But he also felt sorry for her. It's tough for someone who's used to being strong.

"Ines, you can let yourself be weak sometimes. Leave the rest to me." Ines disagreed, "Even though you're a man and want to shoulder everything, I don't want you to overwork. If you collapse, who's going to protect me and the baby? I'm thinking of a long-term strategy. For the future of our family, I'll start recovering and start a new life from today."

Hearing her words, Ethan was touched. Ines went on to share some funny stories she heard from Phoebe today. Ethan was first taken aback, then his beautiful eyes filled with amusement, "You and

your dad are alike. Both have similar ways of handling things. Silas's words today are funny. Not exactly fair, but I agree. That's the way to deal with shameless people."

Even marriage could be used as a means. Although it damaged his own image, it achieved the desired effect in the end.

For a person who always valued his own image, it's not an easy thing.

If he encountered such a problem, he might not handle it better than him.

Ines gently tapped Ethan's chest, "Okay, Ethan. You sly fox, now you're talking in circles."

Ethan held Ines's hand tightly, laughing, "I've always respected his way of doing things and his abilities." As for his performance in life? Well, he can't fully agree with that.

Ines shot Ethan a suspicious look and said disdainfully, "Quit your bullshitting. You're like a weather vane, always bending whichever wind blows. You only changed your tune because you saw I changed my attitude towards him."

Ethan didn't bother to explain much. In fact, what he just said was from the heart, "Being with you, I feel delighted." "Stop talking nonsense, always just trying to butter me up," Ines retorted playfully, a small smile unconsciously tugging at the corners of her mouth.
