Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 438

Ines gave a hint of a smile and gazed out the window. The familiar streets brought a comforting sense of restored memory.

As Phoebe had planned, she took Ines directly to a boutique and picked out two dresses, steering Ines straight towards the fitting room.

“Wow, Phoebe, you are really at high efficiency. I actually can try in a few more shops. You know.”

“Relax, we’ve been friends for years. I know your tastes. These dresses may seem simple, but they’ll look fantastic on you.”

Ines chuckled, always amused by Phoebe’s character. Phoebe always did things quickly and efficiently, and time hadn’t changed that one bit.

Ines tried on a pink mini dress first. Just as Phoebe had predicted, the dress looked simple but incredibly flattering on her. It suited her complexion and felt comfortable. “Oh my God, Izzy, you don’t look like a mother of two at all. You look like a woman in her early twenties!” Phoebe examined Ines from head to toe. Then her gaze was lingering on Ines’ bust. She glanced at her own, sighing with a touch of envy. Ines had always been more well-endowed.

Ines noticed Phoebe’s lingering gaze and quickly covered her chest, “What are you staring at?”

“Hmm, Izzy, I bet you’re not just a C cup anymore. Giving birth to babies really does wonders for your bust size.”

They were alone so Ines spoke freely, albeit in a lower voice, “Then you should get serious with Noel. Men do play a significant role in these matters.”

“Wow, Izzy, who taught you to talk like this?”

“I’m just telling it like it is. Take my advice or leave it.”

Phoebe laughed heartily and pushed Ines back into the fitting room to try on the other dress. However, they both preferred the pink one.

After shopping, Phoebe took Ines to a spa for a full-body massage. After being bedridden for so long, Ines found the massage, though a bit painful, very soothing. She chatted with Phoebe while occasionally wincing.

“Phoebe, you really thought things through. This is so relaxing.”

“As long as you’re comfortable, my efforts weren’t in vain.”

Ines knew that Phoebe was a force to be dealt with when it came to arguments. She could imagine how heated the situation was at that moement, “So, Sarah didn’t have a good first impression of you.”

“I suppose. If we were to score out of 100, she’d probably give me a 50.”

“Don’t worry too much. She doesn’t know you well yet. Give her some time.”

The hairstylist styled Ines’ long hair into simple, elegant curls and braided the back into a princess hairstyle.

“Alright, your hair is done. We can talk about my issues some other time, and figure things out. Tonight is your night. Let’s go. I’ll drive you home.” Phoebe drove Ines back to her new home.

The lights in the living room were off, casting the room into darkness. Ines muttered under her breath, with a hint of annoyance and complaint in her tone, “What is Ethan up to? This doesn’t look like he’s prepared dinner for us. The door isn’t even closed. What if there were thieves?”

Phoebe gently nudged Ines from behind. “What are you standing here for? Go in and see for yourself.” As soon as Ines stepped in, the crystal chandelier in the center of the living room lit up. The walls around were adorned with numerous fairy lights which flickered on at that instant. Underneath the chandelier was Ethan, dressed in a white suit, with a dazzling smile playing on his lips. His gaze was fixed on her with intense affection.
