Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 39

Ines was waiting for Phoebe in the city center. After work, Phoebe drove straight to her and rolled down the window, waving at her.

Ines got into the car and couldn't help but ask, "I've always wondered, how come a rich and beautiful girl like you can't find a suitable boyfriend?"

"Don't even mention it." Phoebe said.

"I really find it strange." Ines said.

Phoebe said, "It's not that hard to understand. Since I'm not lacking in any way, I don't care about a man's money or power. I despise men who only like me for my money. I can't stand those who are on my level, and they're just too flirty. Plus, I like handsome guys. You tell me how many men are left for me to choose from."

Ines actually agreed with most of Phoebe's views. However, thinking of Ethan, she countered, "Don't jump to conclusions too soon. Not all men who match your background are necessarily playboys. If you find one you like, try to get along with him."

"Whatever." Phoebe didn't take it seriously.

As the car turned a corner, the setting sun shone in, and Phoebe suddenly felt her eyes dazzled. She turned her head and saw the sparkling huge diamond on Ines' finger and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Izzy, your husband is really generous. I bet that diamond is almost three carats." Phoebe was amazing, she could tell the carat of the ring at a glance.

Phoebe kept waiting for Ines' answer, but instead saw her smiling brightly, and was shocked, "Ines, did my eyes deceive me just now? Who was that radiant person?"

Ines blushed and glared at Phoebe, "Speak properly."

Phoebe grabbed Ines' hand, carefully examined the ring on it, and couldn't help but gasp, "HARRY WINSTON, so your husband is actually pretty rich?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ines knew Phoebe wouldn't give up until she got an answer. She explained, "I went to their house yesterday, and he's the Ethan you talked about."

Upon hearing this, Phoebe slammed on the brakes in shock. Ines quickly held onto the seat to steady herself and said, "Phoebe, drive carefully. My heart can't take you scaring me like this."

Phoebe was stunned for a long time and then hugged Ines tightly, excitedly and solemnly saying, "Ines, congratulations. You're going to make me so envious; marrying Ethan is the dream of every girl in A City. You make me so proud." She was envious, but not jealous.

Ines could feel her sincerity. It was really lucky to have such a good friend in life, "I'll be good to him."

Phoebe drove and called her mom, her relaxed tone was like she had found a treasure. Ines was also affected by her, and the gloom from seeing Emma and Aiden was swept away.

The Wagner family was also wealthy. Although the Wagner Group couldn't compare to the Meyer Group, it was still pretty good in A City. They lived in Paradise Cove, a gathering place for the rich in A City.

As they arrived at the front door, she saw a woman standing there. Ines didn't actually remember her, but there was a feeling of familiarity in her heart, and she was sure that it was Meg Wagner. She couldn't help but speed up her steps and ran towards her with a smile, "Meg."

Meg immediately held Ines' hand kindly, "Izzy is finally back. You've been away for years, and I've missed you so much. Hurry up and come in. Your uncle heard you were coming and came back right after work."

"Alright." Ines said.

In the living room, Grayson Wagner was wearing glasses and reading a newspaper. When he saw Ines coming in, he showed a smile. Ines greeted him happily, "Grayson."

"You're finally back. Meg has been missing you all these years. Phoebe often goes to B City too. Now we can finally be at ease." Grayson said.

Meg pulled Ines onto the sofa to chat, "Have you been working hard these years? You still don't seem to have gained any weight."

Ines liked this motherly concern and smiled, "It seems my weight hasn't changed much in these years." She belonged to the type that didn't have much weight fluctuation, but once she gained a pound or two, it was hard to lose it.

Meg tapped Ines on the forehead, "Tell me, are you really married to Ethan? I was shocked."

Ines nodded and smiled, "Yes, we got married half a month ago, but I didn't know his identity until I went to their house yesterday."

Meg patted Ines' hand, "You don't have to worry anymore. Everything will get better after you marry him. With the Meyer family as your backup, you won't have to leave home anymore. Your heartless father won't be able to do anything either. I've always wondered which daughter of A City's prestigious family would marry into the Meyer family, and it turns out that the lucky one is you."

"If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Izzy was your daughter. I've never seen you so enthusiastic when I come back. You always seem to want to kick me out." The speaker was Phoebe, who had just parked her car and entered the house.

Meg glared at her, displeased, "You're always like this. If you could be half as reassuring as Izzy, I'd welcome you home every day. You're always acting crazy, and your emotional intelligence isn't high

either. You're so old and still don't have a boyfriend, it's embarrassing."

Phoebe was used to Meg's nagging and rolled her eyes unhappily, "Ines, you're really too enviable. My mom has liked you since we were little. Poor me is just trash in front of you. What are you going to do to compensate for my emotional loss?"

"I'll keep helping you find a good boyfriend," Ines imitated Phoebe's tone.
