Cindy was taken aback by the sight of such a warm smile. Although Ian would sometimes show that side of him on stage, it couldn’t even compare to how he looked while he was making the call.
Unable to figure out the caller’s gender as she couldn’t hear who was on the phone, she was reminded of the girlfriend whom Ian mentioned long ago. Ian had mentioned the girl twice while on the talent show, wearing a gentle look on his face whenever he did, which Cindy never saw again ever since the show ended.
Meanwhile, Logan was still a little worried about Ian, so he told him that he would give Lorraine a heads up so she would look into the matter. However, Ian had no intention of letting it bother Logan, say less of Lorraine. Although he was familiar with Logan, the same couldn’t be said of Lorraine, so he didn’t feel comfortable allowing her to clean up his mess for him.
Therefore, Ian quickly stopped Logan. “No, don’t trouble Lorraine. My agency already got a grasp on the situation, so we are now waiting for the perfect opportunity to reel in the line. We have definitive proof that will allow us to get out of this mess, so you have nothing to worry about. It’s been a while since my debut, so I know better than to allow people to trample all over me.”
On the other hand, Cindy sat down on the sofa before averting her gaze. She’d heard Ian speak over the phone before, but he’d never opened up like how he did now even when talking to Hannah, so she figured that the person on the phone had to be someone special to Ian.
Over the phone, Logan asked after a moment’s pause, “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle this? You don’t have to be so courteous with me. We’ve been friends for such a long time, so we’ll go through thick and thin together. I never saw you as a bother, and I’m more than glad to help solve your problems.”
Chuckling, Ian answered, “Logan, I’m not withdrawing myself from you. Don’t worry. I’m certain that I’ll be able to settle this. I promise I’ll go to you if something unexpected happens later on, okay?”
There was a moment’s silence before Logan let out a hum. “Alright. Contact me if you encounter any problems.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
