Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 106

"Silly girl, I am not not a fool to let go of my wife just like that. We're gonna sort this out today, and I'm gonna make sure we have a good talk about it tonight. Even if I have to leave, I'll be somewhere you can easily find." Ethan said.

He initially wanted to make her anxious, to have her confront her own feelings, but it started to rain when he stepped out. He had to drop the idea because he knew she would be worried and he would be the one hurting in the end.

"Ethan, you?" Ines looked at Ethan in surprise, not expecting him to leave with such thoughts. She thought he was really angry and ready to let go of her.

Ethan, knowing what she was thinking, pinched her face a few times and said, "Did I scare you?"

Ines nodded slightly.

"Ines, you do care about me. You can't deny that," Ethan said with certainty.

Ines relaxed into his arms, confessed her feelings, but still looked a bit sad, "Yes, I do care about you, more than I ever imagined."

Ethan smiled faintly, "And you still want to break up with me?"

"That's not what I intended." Ines said.

"Izzy, what if I told you I don't care, and I knew long ago that my brother and you were at the same accident, would you take back what you just said?" Ethan said.

Ines quickly pulled away from Ethan's arms, looking at him in disbelief, as if to confirm what she just heard from his eyes, "What did you say?"

Ethan smiled, "I said, I knew long ago that you two were at the same car accident, the day after we got married." He had checked her out, although it was a rough check, but he knew about this.

"Then why did you still...” Ines said.

"Why could I still pretend not to know, right? Why could I still get along with you calmly, right?" Ethan looked at Ines seriously.

Ines nodded.

"Because I always believed Izzy wouldn't do something like that, there must be some misunderstanding. And saving people is a sacred duty of a soldier, and it's the choice my brother made. I should support his choice unconditionally and be proud of him for such actions. He is worthy of the country's training and is a qualified soldier. I think he wouldn't regret such actions, nor would he get angry about it. It's you who complicated things, but I'm also happy, all your actions indicate that you care about me."

"In my heart, you would consider my feelings." Ines bit her lip, "Ethan, don't trust me too much. I used to believe that I wouldn't do such a thing. Even though I lost my memory, when I saw Hunter and that woman, I could feel a strong hatred in my heart. I can imagine that if I hadn't lost my memory, it's entirely possible that I would have done such a thing."

"No, you're overlooking one thing, that is, you didn't love Aiden at all. Didn't you say that the person you like is me? Without love, how could you possibly harm Emma for him and choose to sacrifice yourself? With your character, if you wanted to teach them a lesson, you would definitely let someone else do it." Ethan analyzed calmly.

Ines realized that seemed to be the case. The way of hitting someone with a car was too stupid; indeed it didn't seem like something she would do.

"Why build your whole life's happiness on your own guess? Before the truth of the matter is clear, let's not be so arbitrary, okay?" Ethan advised patiently.

"Ethan, I…" Ines said.

Ethan held Ines tightly in his arms, and feeling his warm embrace, Ines was speechless for a moment.

"Mrs. Meyer, from this incident, it seems that your trust in me is really not enough. You actually think that I would give you up, don't you think you should reflect on yourself?" Ethan asked.

"How?" Ines had been on an emotional roller coaster that night, so she just blurted out the question.

"You write a three-thousand-word essay and give it to me in a week, not a word less." Ethan said.

"I'm not a kid, why should I write an essay?" Ines said. It had been many years since she had written an essay, and to give it to him in a week was simply impossible. "Whether you're an adult or a child, you should reflect when you make a mistake. Not being able to fully trust your own husband is a very bad mistake, writing an essay is a light punishment. Considering that you're usually busy with work, I'll give you a month. You're not allowed to copy from the internet, you have to write based on your own situation." Ethan said.

Ines didn't say anything. She thought he was always busy and wouldn't remember such things so clearly, so she reluctantly agreed. Seeing that his wife's mood had calmed down, Ethan let go of her and led her into the hotel. The front desk saw them walking in hand in hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Meyer, Mrs. Meyer, congratulations on your reconciliation. Whatever misunderstandings there may be between a husband and wife should be discussed calmly. Don't ever act impulsively."

Ethan smiled, "Thank you."

Back in the room, Ines was still not at ease, and asked again, "What about grandpa and your parent?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll talk to them personally." Ethan squeezed her hand.

"Ethan, I don't want you to struggle." Ines said.

"Dumbbell, it's not difficult for me. I don't want to bear the pain of losing you." Ethan looked at Ines seriously, a plea in his eyes.

Ines thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Ethan gently patted her head, "Remember, we're married, don't say things like 'break up' to me again, and don't make decisions for me on your own." Ines felt a bit of pain from the pat, rubbed her head, and said in a hurtful tone, "About that, I need to clarify, I didn't make any decisions for you, and I didn't say the word 'break up', that was you. All I did was telling you the truth, and then I planned to let you take the initiative. If you want to give up, I definitely won't cling onto you."
