Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 103

Ethan glanced around, noticing everyone was dressed pretty skimpy. He felt a tad hot in his clothes but he wasn't thrilled about his wife parading around the beach in a bikini. However, he couldn't resist Ines' adorable eyes. So, he gave a nod and lead her to a nearby store.

Ines picked out a bathing suit for herself, and he let her pick out a set for him as well. When it was time to pay, Ethan grabbed a long skirt and a beach hat, obviously for Ines. She frowned slightly, she wanted to sunbathe, and how could she have fun in such clothing?

But, she kept her thoughts to herself, knowing that Ethan wasn’t comfortable with her walking around in just a bikini.

Seeing his tense face, Ines didn't stop him. Instead, she took the skirt from his hand, praising, "Mr. Meyer knows me so well; this is my style." Hearing her words, he chuckled. Ines found him rather cute.

After applying sunscreen and changing into their new clothes at the hotel, they headed out. Ines realised that her bathing suit was completely hidden by the long skirt. Glancing at the man next to her, she saw he was grinning, obviously in a good mood.

Ashley was right. He was such a sly fox, everything planned out perfectly.

She usually used to him in suits; seeing him now in a shirt and shorts was a refreshing change. Ines thought, he looked good in anything.

Looking at him, Ines couldn't help but break into a satisfied smile. She took out her phone to snap a photo, capturing the moment. Ethan didn't expect her to do this, by the time he saw, the photo was already taken. He leaned in to see, but found the man in the photo unattractive, void of expression, and wearing cheap clothes. "Ugh, so ugly. Izzy, delete the photo," he frowned.

Ines looked at the photo closely, asking confusedly, "What do you mean by ugly? I think it's pretty good."

Ethan pointed to the photo on the phone, a bit upset, "It's not ugly? I don't have any expression here, it doesn't look like me at all."

Ines gave him a strange look, replying, "Isn't this what you look like when you're not smiling? I think I caught your natural look."

She liked this cold and arrogant side of him. The warmth only revealing itself when he was with her.

"Aren't you supposed to smile for photos?" At least that was how he was, he liked seeing her smile.

"Whatever you look like, it's you, and I like it." Ines looked at the Ethan in the photo, smiling. She thought the man she liked was really good-looking, even the photo was handsome.

It was only when she came back to her senses that she realized her attitude might have been a bit off.

Ethan raised an eyebrow at Ines' words, "When did Mrs. Meyer learn to speak such sweet words? Isn't this something I would say?"

Ines blushed slightly, rolling her eyes at him playfully, "Who do you think I learned it from?"

Seeing her like this, Ethan was in a good mood, continuing, "You're right. It does seem so."

There were many sun loungers on the beach, and they each found one to lie on. Ines loved the sun here. It felt so good on the skin, and she fell asleep in no time. Knowing Ethan was by her side, she could sleep soundly even outdoors.

She wasn't sure how long she had slept, but she seemed to hear a woman's voice.

"Hey, handsome, it's so boring to lay here alone, come and play with us."

It was a sweet and cute voice. Ines felt nauseous, she didn't need to guess to know it was one of those annoying pick-up artists on the beach. But she knew the man's temper, and she trusted him completely, not worried at all about him being lured away by women.

"Handsome, don't be so cold. We're all here to have fun, lighten up. Besides, your wife isn't here, it's okay."

"Don't waste your time in a place like this."

"A handsome guy like you, we are willing to play with you for free."

Ethan found it noisy, he glanced at Ines who was several feet away; she was sound asleep, looking adorable. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

A tender smile appeared on his face, seeing his smile, those women went crazier and tried to hit on him again.

"Handsome, don't look at that sleeping woman. She's overdressed and her figure isn't great." One of the women said, twirling her curly hair, striking a seductive pose.

Ethan remained silent, the woman swiveled her hips in frustration and backed off. Then another woman stepped forward, all trying to seduce Ethan with their words and gestures.

Ethan clenched his fist, if it were a man standing in front of him, he wouldn't hesitate to punch him. But his upbringing and principles taught him not to raise a hand to a woman easily.

So, he simply closed his eyes, ignoring the women standing in front of him.

Ines didn't want to wake up. She felt like she hadn't had enough sleep, but when she heard the voices of these women, she realized the situation might be serious. She squinted her eyes open, seeing a group of women in bikinis standing in front of Ethan. At least a dozen women, all with sexy figures, were taking turns chatting up Ethan.
