The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1419

After waiting for some time in his room, Ian took a change of clothes, planning on taking a shower. On the other hand, Cindy was done cleaning up the kitchen, and was laying the duvet out on the sofa. Upon taking a closer look, Ian realized she bought a new set of bedsheet and duvet cover. She covered the sofa with the bedsheet, as well as tucking the duvet into a cover.

Ian stopped in his tracks to explain himself when Cindy looked his way. “I’m going to take a shower.”

Grunting, Cindy nodded her head. After she was finished with setting up her space on the sofa, she watched TV on the sofa. On the other hand, Ian was done showering after half an hour. When she saw that, she retrieved her own clothes from her suitcase.

Ian knew what she wanted to do, so he quickly entered his own room in strides. After a while, Cindy turned off the TV before going to the bathroom. The fact that she was sharing a bathroom with a man while in his house made her feel a little awkward.

She finished showering as quickly as possible, then she got out of the bathroom after drying her hair. Combing her hair while walking toward the sofa, she only managed to take a few steps when she saw Ian coming out from the kitchen.

She was taken aback by his presence, whereas Ian was also feeling a little awkward for some reason. “I came to get myself a glass of water.”

On the other hand, Cindy tried to will herself not to blush while replying, “Okay.” Tidying her pajamas, she was feeling fortunate that they were all of a conservative style, so it wasn’t inappropriate when she wore them in his presence.

Heaving a sigh, Ian blinked while staring into the darkness of his room. The fact that he couldn’t see clearly in the dark enhanced his other senses, so he could hear rustling noises outside of the room, and he knew it was probably Cindy. It sounded like she was heading to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water, but after that, she spent some time walking around. Ian wasn’t sure what she was doing, but he only listened in silence.

After half a minute or so, the noises finally died down, which indicated that she finally lay back down. Rolling over in bed, he had his back to the door while closing his eyes. Women are a hassle to deal with, he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Cindy finally lay down on the sofa. Utterly exhausted, she fell asleep soon after. However, she hadn’t had a peaceful night, as she dreamed of bringing the two hundred thousand home, which she was forced to hand to her mother. Part of the sum was used to pay for her brother’s tuition fees, whereas the rest was used to buy a house for him. Nevertheless, what transpired in the dream didn’t stir up a lot of emotions within her, as she was already used to being the giver in the household.
