Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 28

If it weren't for Phoebe tightly grabbing her shoulder, Ines would've bolted. That girl really had no filter.

The saleswoman seemed experienced. Seeing Ines looking a bit awkward, she explained with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed, ma'am. Newlyweds need some spice too, and many people buy sexy lingerie as a wedding gift." As she spoke, she sized up Ines' figure, her gaze occasionally lingering on her chest.

Ines couldn't stand the scrutiny and shot Phoebe an angry glare as she grinned from ear to ear.

"Your shape is great, and as for the fabric, I personally recommend these few."

The saleswoman recommended three options, and Ines, looking at the skimpy materials, picked one at random. As soon as Phoebe paid, Ines grabbed her, eager to leave the store with the lingerie.

"Izzy, I love seeing you grit your teeth but powerless against me," Phoebe laughed loudly.

"Bad friend," Ines grumbled.

"Targeting you." Phoebe said.

Phoebe had to leave halfway through, and Ines noticed it was already past five. Just as she was about to call a taxi, Ethan called and told her to wait at a coffee shop, and he'd pick her up shortly.

Ines didn't have to wait long for Ethan to arrive, driving a Volkswagen this time. She laughed at her absurd thoughts from before.

Ethan took the bag from her hand like a gentleman. Without thinking much, she handed it to him. Once in the car, Ethan asked, "How come you shopped for so long and only bought this little thing?

It's so light." And with that, he opened the bag.

It was too late for Ines to react. She watched as Ethan's face changed colors, and his gaze turned a bit strange, as if there was a hidden flame.

Ines' face turned red, and she mentally cursed Phoebe countless times, "Don't get the wrong idea. My friend bought it, not me."

Ethan suddenly leaned closer, his hand gently caressing her face, a slight smile on his lips. "But you accepted it, didn't you? Is it a subtle way to tell me that we can actually get closer?" Ethan asked.

Ines awkwardly turned her head away, not knowing how to respond. Just as she was about to speak, his lips covered hers. Her mind went blank, forgetting to resist or even react, just staring wide-eyed at his handsome face that suddenly appeared so close. He seemed quite satisfied with her response.

Afterward, he held her waist and deepened the kiss. Ines suddenly came to her senses and tried to refuse. "Mmm, no." She mumbled.

However, her refusal only gave him more opportunity, boldly invading her mouth and stealing her breath without any hesitation. Kissing was foreign to Ines, especially such a deep kiss. Soon, she felt dizzy and closed her eyes involuntarily, her hands that wanted to struggle gradually dropping.

Ethan only intended to try a light kiss, but she seemed to have a magical effect on him, making him desire more. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

But at this moment, the untimely sound of a phone ringing startled Ines, who abruptly opened her eyes and pushed Ethan away.

Ethan looked at the caller ID on his phone screen, filled with frustration, and reluctantly answered the call.
