The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440 Learning to Bake

Cindy was much more relaxed since Ian’s workload had been reduced for the month. After watching TV for a while, Cindy’s phone began to ring. She took a glance at the screen before picking it up. “What is it?”

Hazel’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Are you busy now, Cindy?” Hazel asked before letting out an awkward chuckle.

“No. What is it?” Cindy’s response was rather cold. Hazel let out another laugh before she got to her point. “Well, it’s about your brother. The school just offered to put them into teams and organize a charity performance for them. This is a much better opportunity than just learning theories in school, but we might need some money for the expenses since these performances don’t pay much…”

There was no need for Hazel to continue. The reason she called was always the same—she just wanted money from Cindy. “How much?” Cindy asked.

“How much… I don’t have an exact number. You can give us more if you have the money to spare. I know things aren’t easy for you either, so you can just give us an amount that you’re comfortable with,” Hazel uttered after giving it some thought.

I can’t believe my mother understands that things aren’t easy for me. How rare! “I only have a total of 2,000 left with me. Will that be enough?” Cindy was testing her mother on purpose.

Hazel seemed to hesitate on the other end of the line. She had probably guessed that Cindy wouldn’t have a lot of money to spare. Eventually, Hazel let out a long sigh. “2,000 is fine, I guess. Just send the money home.”

Wow. She didn’t even ask me to keep some for myself. Cindy hummed in acknowledgement before ending the call. Right after that, Cindy transferred the money to her mother before she glanced at the leftover sum in her bank account. She had more money in the past, but it had lessened since she had used them to clear all her debts. However, the remaining amount was still enough to last her for a long while.

While Cindy put her phone aside, she recalled Keith telling her that Hazel actually had money in her bank account. Hazel would certainly be able to pay for whatever Keith needed, even if Cindy only transferred 2,000 to Hazel.
