Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 284

"Ines, I'm really sorry. We the Meyer family are sorry for you.." Ethan held Ines' face, saying earnestly.

At first, this girl thought she was responsible for Beasley's death, but he didn't. The Meyer family had caused her to endure so much she shouldn't have. If the video had been released sooner, Shirley and Emma wouldn't have set foot in the Galeana family's house, and Hunter would not have broken off their relationship to protect her.

All of these problems stemmed from the truth that was deliberately hidden. When one get down to it, the Meyer family screwed her over.

Ines knew Ethan was apologizing to her, but it had been so long since those events, Hunter had passed away, and she was living well after leaving A City.

After marrying into the Meyer family, they were genuinely good to her. Only Phillip knew about all this. Nobody else did. But they were willing to accept her despite all the misunderstandings. Their sincerity was obvious. How could she find reasons to blame the Meyer family?

Besides, without Beasley, she and Emma might have died at the scene. At the time, her car door was locked, and judging from the situation in the video, the car was bound to explode. That guy Pete just made it explode ahead of time.

Since Beasley saved their lives, any mistakes were cancelled. Ines shook her head at Ethan, gazing at him seriously, "Ethan, don't apologize. We just had bad luck getting dragged into this mess. And without Beasley, if we had an accident in that remote place, Emma and I would probably be dead by now. We wouldn't have lived to see today."

Ethan kissed Ines' forehead, saying, "Thank you, Izzy."

"We're husband and wife. No matter what happens, we face it together." Ines looked at Ethan.

Ethan nodded, his eyes full of laughter, and kissed Ines. But just then, there was a knock at the door. Ethan quickly shut down his computer and went to answer it.

Ashley was standing outside the door. She chuckled at the sight of the band-aid at the corner of Ethan's eye, "Bro, you totally ruined your image. Have you seen yourself? You look like a hot mess."

Ethan wasn't in the mood to joke around and didn't care about his appearance. With a frown, he asked, "What are you here for?"

Ashley pointed in the direction of the study and curled her lip, "Grandpa wants Izzy in the study, said he has something to say."

Ethan was a bit annoyed. He knew it wasn't Grandpa's fault but was pissed off. He snapped at Ashley, "Tell him to hold on. Izzy will be there."

Ashley retorted unhappily, "I'm not your messenger, don't take your anger out on me. If you and Grandpa aren't done arguing, go ahead, I'm not joining you. I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not delivering messages." Just now, grandpa had been angry when he asked her to call for someone. Everyone today was being unreasonable.

After saying that, Ashley stormed off to the bedroom across the hall and slammed the door shut with a bang.

"What happened? You pissed off Ashley. She looked really angry." Ines laughed as Ethan entered the room.

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure. Maybe she got in trouble with Grandpa. I was a bit short with her, and she got pissed off. She really has a temper."

"You should talk to her nicely. Ashley cares about you. She called me as soon as she heard you were arguing with grandpa." Ines defended Ashley.

"That's her being nosy, making you, a pregnant woman, rush over."

Ines knew the siblings were close, so she didn't say anything more.

Ethan was silent for a while before saying to Ines, "Grandpa wants you in the study. If you don't want to face him, you don't have to. We can leave right now."

Ines chuckled, "I can't avoid it forever. I'll have to face this sooner or later. I'll go now."

"Izzy." Ethan held Ines back, not wanting her to face Grandpa just yet.

"Don't worry. I won't argue with Grandpa like you do. He won't treat me the way he treats you. I want to hear what he has to say." Ines patted Ethan's hand.

Since Ines had said that, Ethan couldn't object. He simply handed the disc to Ines, asking her to take it to grandpa for safekeeping.

In the study, Grandpa sat in his chair. When he saw Ines enter, he quickly said, "Izzy, have a seat."

"Grandpa, you wanted to see me?" Ines said with a faint smile. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Grandpa looked a bit awkward. Seeing the disc in her hand, he sighed and asked, "Have you seen everything on the video?"

Ines nodded and put the disc on the desk, "I just finished watching it."

"Izzy, I've been holding back this apology for a long time. I wanted to face you and say sorry." After finishing his sentence, Grandpa stood up and bowed to Ines.

Ines was startled and quickly helped Grandpa up, "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Philip patted Ines' hand, saying seriously, "I have to do this. I owe you and Hunter an apology. Your bad relationship with him is largely my fault. Ethan was right. My decision changed your life and caused you to suffer a lot."

In fact, when Ines first saw that video, she had a lot of mixed feelings. But, after thinking, she got it, "Grandpa, you don't have to say it like that. I know you didn't mean it. The whole situation came out of left field. I bet you didn't see what was coming when you made the decision. So, it's all just a coincidence. I owe my life to Beasley for getting me through all this. Without him, I might've kicked the bucket. I guess my dad wouldn't blame you either. His two girls owe their lives to you, which is no doubt his biggest wish. Grandpa, you don't need to carry this burden anymore." A glimmer of relief passed through Phillip's eyes, "You're really big-hearted. Ethan hit the jackpot marrying you."
