The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “Do you usually watch horror movies with such an attitude?”
Cindy solemnly nodded. “Didn’t you realize that this horror movie appears less frightening after I’d said that? I can adjust the atmosphere with my attitude and make people less afraid.”
Ian stared at her for a while before he nodded without saying anything. It seemed as though he was only now beginning to understand her slightly.
At the end of the month, Ian took a day off because his mother was coming. Cindy had never heard him mentioning his mother before, but back when news of his background circulated widely on the Internet, she’d read a bit of it. Thus, she knew that his mother, Aurora Peyton, was once a renowned singer and was a huge hit in the entertainment industry. However, she then met Ian’s scumbag father, and her entire life was ruined.
Ian’s mother came in the morning, whereupon Cindy and Ian both waited for her outside the community. His mother had permed hair while wearing a tight-fitting shirt and wide-leg pants, coupled with kitten heels. Undeniably, she still looked very much attractive.
Ian didn’t go over to his mother but stood by the community gate, so Cindy stood beside him. His mother was even wearing sunglasses, and as she stepped out of the taxi, she studied Ian for a while before walking over. Then, she remarked, “This is quite an easy place to find. Come, let’s go in. I forgot to have some water before leaving home, so I’m rather thirsty.” She acted as though this was her own territory.
Cindy was a tad awkward, not quite sure how she should greet her. Nonetheless, Aurora didn’t even look at them, walking into the community area herself. Ian turned, and at the same time, he said to Cindy, “Let’s go.” With just that meeting, Cindy could tell that Ian’s relationship with his mother wasn’t good.
After walking a distance, Aurora slowed down and waited for them. When Ian and Cindy had caught up with her, she then commented, “I saw the news about the two of you on the Internet. Are you both truly dating?”

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...
