Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 12

Ines made a face as she looked at him. He didn't seem like someone who could cook.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Ethan looked at her seriously for a few moments. He looked doubtful. "Can you wash vegetables?"

Ines shot him a glare. "I'm not that useless."

In the living room, Rita and Zander listened to their conversation, their faces showing a hint of a smile.

Zander, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? When I left, you were still gritting your teeth in anger. I thought I had to come back quickly to diffuse the situation. I was afraid you would do something."

"Am I that difficult?" Rita asked.

Zander just laughed as he avoided answering his wife’s question. "Actually, I think the kid has a good character. He speaks and acts decently, isn't impulsive or frivolous. Not many young people are like him these days. He's got a trustworthy gut; we just don't know about his family background."

"You don't have to worry about that. He's part of the Meyer family."

"The Meyer family?"

"How are you getting more confused? How many Meyer families are there in A City?"

"You mean the Meyer family in A City that has a major influence in the military, political world, and prestigious business circles?"

Rita nodded.

"This kid really knows how to choose. He's found another wealthy family." Zander looked a little worried.

"I'm not worried about that. Our Page family also started in A City before moving overseas. I've met people from the Meyer family, and they're different from your typical rich family. They don't have too many complex relationships. They are a strong family unit. I believe they will treat Izzy well. The important thing is that she will be protected. I don't think Hunter Galeana and that mother-daughter duo will do anything to Izzy." This was an important reason for Rita’s change in attitude. With the support of the Meyer family, Ines would no longer be helpless.

Zander and Rita's only doubts about Ethan disappeared after tasting his cooking; even Zander couldn't help but give Ethan a thumbs up. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Ines didn't expect a man like Ethan to cook so well.

"Ethan, let me be honest with you." Rita looked at Ethan, her tone becoming noticeably more affectionate.

Ethan nodded, taking Rita's words seriously. "Aunt Rita, please go ahead."

"Your sudden marriage to Izzy caught us off guard, and your uncle and I did have some opinions about it. She's not our biological child, but we've always treated her as our own daughter. She's been living with us for years, and your decision really surprised us. We can't take care of her forever; she'll eventually have to leave our side. I hope that your family treats her well. Since she was little, she hasn't had an easy life, and I hope the second half of her life can be lived peacefully." Rita sounded a bit sad.

Listening to Rita's words made Ines feel emotional. A City was her hometown. She had no memories of it. However, she was more familiar with B City. She had many memories here.

Ethan seemed to sense her emotional fluctuations and tightly held her hand. "Aunt Rita, please don't worry. You don't have to worry about my parents. They're very open-minded; and will treat my wife as their own daughter. As for me, I'll take good care of my wife."

"So, what are your plans for the wedding?" Zander joined the conversation.
