As Ian couldn’t control his expression, he immediately blushed.
Then, Cindy continued speaking, “You don’t even know how happy I was.”
He licked his lips as he searched for a reply, but nothing came to mind.
She sighed. “After I woke up, I realized that everything was just a dream. You never transferred your properties to me at all.”
His brain would have been slightly foggy after he heard her words in the past. Now that he heard her words, his mind immediately became sharper. Sure enough. It turns out that she’s here just for my money.
Ian’s movement became rougher as he shoved her out of his embrace. “In your dreams.”
Cindy groaned out loud as she did not understand what Ian meant.
At the same time, he couldn’t stand wasting his time with her anymore.
After all, her unconscious expression had easily messed up his thoughts.
Hence, he pushed her back into the washroom and closed the door from outside. “I’m going back to my room now. You better wash your face and go to bed. Since you can’t drink much, you shouldn’t have gotten this drunk.”
Without waiting for Cindy’s reaction, Ian quickly retreated to his room.
After he closed the door, he leaned against it and took a few deep breaths.
Then, he slowly raised his hand to touch his face.
Even though she didn’t poke him very hard earlier, he could still feel the impact now.
On the other side, Cindy, who was in the washroom, did not even wash her face. She merely used the sink to support herself and wobbled back to her room after a while.
Her mind was in a complete mess; it was to the point where she didn't even know how she got back to her bed. She merely fell asleep as soon as she shut her eyes.
Ian was much better than her—he slowly changed into his pair of pajamas and closed the curtains before he went to bed.
When he closed his eyes, he could almost feel Cindy still in his arms.
Unable to help himself, he frowned. Gosh... She is really making me spin.
Cindy slept all the way until evening before she was woken by a phone call.
She felt for her phone with her eyes still closed before she successfully retrieved the device. Then, she answered the call without even looking at who the caller was.
Naomi was on the other end of line and she sounded quite tired. “Are you back?”
Cindy asked, “Huh, what?”
Upon hearing the answer, Naomi froze. “Babe, what’s going on? Are you drunk?” Oh, she guessed it accurately. I’m indeed drunk.
It was after a pause that Cindy slowly turned around to hold the phone to her ear. “Oh, it’s you. I’m back with Ian now. Since you were going to be busy for the entire day, I’d be bored alone.”
“The day is still bright outside.” Naomi frowned and sneakily lowered her voice. “And you... are in bed?”
Cindy hummed in agreement. “Yeah, I was sleeping.”
Naomi took a deep breath as her thoughts sidetracked. It makes me relate to some sexual activities when I hear that she has been sleeping during the day.
Then, she lowered her voice even more. “Is Ian beside you? Can he hear what I’m saying now?”
There was another pause before Cindy slowly opened her eyes. “What nonsense are you saying?” How is it possible that he is beside me?
Naomi clucked her tongue. “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all adults now.”
Cindy sighed and decided to divert the topic. “Are you done with work?”
“Yes.” Fatigue suddenly overpowered Naomi. “Two days ago, they were both busy with something else, which is why all the work had to be done today. Man, they really thought I’m made out of steel. They don’t know how to cherish me at all.”
Cindy forced herself to sit upright as she leaned against the top of the bed.
She was in her room and nothing else seemed out of place. Based on Ian’s character, it was quite impossible for him to come to her room.
To be frank, she had no idea how she had returned and she didn't even know whether she had embarrassed herself in front of him.

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...
