As the cost of studying design was relatively high, Hazel initially didn’t agree with Cindy’s decision at first.
However, her father was still alive at that time. As he felt guilty toward his daughter, he ended up fulfilling her wish.
After that, Hazel had never once blamed Cindy for choosing a major that she had personally deemed useless because Cindy responded confidently back then that she would definitely become an excellent designer.
She was determined not to let her money and energy go to waste, but reality had slapped her in the face in the end.
Now, she was working as an assistant, which practically rendered her major useless.
There were times when Cindy would find it difficult to fall asleep at night as she thought about the promises she made in the past. As a result, she would feel frustrated with herself.
On the other hand, Ian wasn’t surprised with her answer as he nodded. “You’ve studied that major for many years, so it’s true that you shouldn’t give up. However, at what point do you think you won’t need to worry about money?”
After she blinked, she suddenly laughed.
There seemed to be a hint of hope in her joyful smile. “At what point? I think that period would be after Mr. Frye helps me to earn a lot of money and manages to double my profit.” Upon saying that, she cradled her face and giggled like a maniac. “I feel that I’m close to reaching my goal.”
With a smirk on his face, Ian asked, “You really trust him that much?”
“Of course I do.” Cindy suddenly adopted a slightly serious tone. “If I stick with him, I may become rich in the future. Didn’t you read the articles about him? Many people who invested with him ended up stinking rich. I didn’t have this kind of opportunity back then, so you don’t know how happy I was when I received this chance.”
Then, he casually asked, “Then, after that? Are you going to resign from your job after becoming rich?”
“I need to see how much I’m earning first,” she joked. “If it’s a lot, I’m definitely quitting my job. Judging by the looks of it, I don’t think it’ll be that much since I didn’t invest a lot of money. It looks like I still have to work for you for the time being.”
After listening to Cindy, Ian grunted. “It seems like I’m your contingency plan.”
She immediately laughed out loud because she felt that the words he used were too comical.
Meanwhile, Aurora and Naomi emerged from the beverage store with ice creams in their hands.
Aurora had two in her hands as she handed them to Ian and Cindy. “There are many girls inside. Looks like this is what young people like these days.”
Cindy looked at Aurora and asked, “You didn’t buy one for yourself?”
“I still prefer this.” Aurora shook the beverage in her hand.
However, Cindy didn’t accept the ice cream because her menstruation was around the corner. If she ate the ice cream, she would be uncomfortable for the next two days.
That was the reason why she addressed Aurora, “You can have it. I shouldn’t be having ice cream for the next two days.”
Aurora was surprised at first, but she quickly understood the implicit meaning. “Then, you should drink more warm water from now on. It’s really difficult for a woman during this period.”
Without much thought, Cindy replied, “I know, right? My stomach hurts every time.”
At the same time, Ian turned to take a bite of his ice cream. Why do they have to talk about this in front of me? Don’t they know that I’m a man? Or, do they not really care at all?
The three women seemed to have found a common topic as they began to talk about what to eat to relieve the pain during their menstruation.
Therefore, Ian distanced himself from them, but he could still clearly hear their conversation.
Discussions about what food or drink to eat continued to ring in his ear.
Actually, he knew that Aurora and Naomi had intentionally spoken loudly for him to hear.
What are they thinking? Do they expect me to be by Cindy’s side during her menstruation to take care of her? Ian silently grunted. Forget about it. There’s no chance at all.
As they continued to walk and talk, it was no longer early.
When they finally felt bored, Cindy and Naomi boarded a cab back to their hotel.

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...
