Then, Aurora joked, “I hope he is not being asked to stay behind and follow the illicit rules.”
Cindy was quite troubled and was not in a good mood to begin with, but after hearing Aurora’s words, she could not help but laugh.
She played along and commented, “Oh, my—that really might be possible.”
Even though it was just a joke, Aurora was confused to see this. Looking at Cindy, she asked, “Did you guys get into a fight? Otherwise, he shouldn’t be back so late.”
Cindy quickly shook her head. “No, we weren’t fighting.”
Then, she added with a smile, “There’s nothing for us to fight upon as well. Everything in our lives is going well. We both just placed some investments and we might be earning money soon. He has two advertisements to shoot. With good news one after another, we are beyond happy, so why would we fight?”
With a frown on her face, Aurora stared at Cindy for a while before she finally nodded. “You are right.”
Then, she leaned against her chair. “As long as there’s enough money, the relationship between a couple will be good. I’m saying this from past experience. The troubles that modern people have is mostly related to money. With money, people’s lives would be better, and there would not be a lot of conflicts.”
Naomi also had similar thoughts. “Some of my colleagues at work complained about their family disputes. Honestly, if they have enough money, everything would be settled, which is why I think Ian and Cindy shouldn’t have any huge problems. It also seems like the fans are not trying to stir up some trouble for them. Without their interference, you guys are having a good life, so there really isn’t any reason for a fight.”
Cindy nodded without saying anything.
Even though she told them that she did not have a fight with Ian, she felt that he was mad at her today.
With his temperament, no matter what happened, he would be able to sort it out. He would definitely not take it out on innocent people.
However, seeing how cold he treated her today, it was highly probable that he was mad at her.
That being said, Cindy could not remember how she had offended him.
When he was shooting for the program, they were still being quite nice to each other.
After the show ended, Ian treated her quite well too.
What remained was their journey home. Neither of them spoke to each other in the car, and he behaved weirdly after they got out of the car.
Usually after they went back home, he would bid farewell to the driver.
However, he pulled a long face today and said nothing, as if the driver owed him a huge sum and had no plans to return the money to him.
That’s right! That was where his peculiar behavior started, Cindy thought, gaining more clarity by the moment.
However, she was still quite dumbfounded. But nothing happened throughout the entire journey, though.
Both of us did not even speak to each other, so how could I have offended him during that time?
Meanwhile, Aurora and Naomi were discussing their thoughts on money while Cindy listened to them.
Her thoughts, however, were in chaos.
Since they were living under the same roof now, if they had a fight, it would not do well for either of them.
Hence, she wondered if she should talk it out with Ian after he returned and asked where she made him unhappy.
If it was her problem, she would definitely repent and explain herself to him, or she would even apologize.
But if it’s not my problem…
She hesitated at that.
Would Ian explain or apologize to me?
Forget it! If it’s not my problem, I’ll just forget about it.
Ian is my boss, after all. How could a boss apologize to an assistant? As long as we know what the problem is, that will have to do.
Cindy thought a lot about this, and Naomi’s conversation with Aurora also came to an end. The sky had gotten dark rather quickly that night, so both Naomi and Aurora got up to leave.
Cindy did not bother with pleasantries and directly saw them out.
When she returned to the unit, she cleaned the kitchen and quickly brushed her teeth.
Then, she sat on the couch to wait for Ian. No matter what, she wanted to clear things up. She was not a person who could tolerate ambiguity, so she wanted to get to the bottom of the issue.

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...
