The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1616

Chapter 1616 A Little Chat

She looked at Ian quietly, a message hidden in her gaze.

Ian pursed his lips and asked hesitantly, “What else did you guys talk about?” He wanted to ask if they talked about him, and what they were talking about if they did. He wanted to know if they mentioned the call he made to Cindy the night before.

At the same time, Cindy had nothing to do at home. She kept changing the TV channels, but she couldn’t stand any of the shows. Also, she kept picking her phone up and putting it down, as if waiting for someone to text her.

Her mother was out, presumably for a poker session. Cindy didn’t like her mother’s obsession with poker, but she couldn’t tell her off since she didn’t have a good relationship with her mother. Her mother might ignore everyone else’s comments, but if it came from Cindy, it might spark another argument. However, the upside about her mother’s hobby was that at least it gave Cindy some much-needed peace and quiet.

She was on the sofa, hugging her legs. The TV was on, but her world was silent. A few questions lingered in her mind, such as the reason why Ian called her last night. Even if he was drunk, he shouldn’t have called her by all accounts. And what was he trying to say? She thought about that for the whole morning.

That morning, she even called Aurora and talked about a lot of stuff. She wanted to talk about Ian, but she was worried it might look too obvious. Because of that, she didn’t get to talk about the thing she wanted to know the most. That frustrated her, and it made her jumpy.

To ba honast, sha didn’t hava to dwall too much on that call. Aftar all, it was just somathing random ha did whan ha was drunk. But tha problam was, Cindy likad Ian, so sha carad a lot about avarything ha did. Sha wantad to know why ha did that. Yas, sha knaw it was problamatic of har, but sha couldn’t control harsalf.

Cindy picked the bag of fruits up and put it on the cabinet before going back to her room. She scrolled through her phone to see if anything interesting was happening, but she couldn’t find anything. That frustrated her, and she wasn't in the mood to do anything else.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It shocked her, and she almost threw it away. She took a look at the caller’s name, and it turned out to be from Aurora. I just called her this morning, and now she’s calling me? I wonder what she wants? She and Ian might be in a rocky phase, but that didn’t affect her relationship with Aurora, so Cindy took the call. “Hi, Miss Peyton.”

Aurora sounded happy. “Hi, Cindy. Are you alright? Busy?”

“No, I’m free. What is it, Miss Peyton?”

Aurora smiled. “Nothing much. I can’t get used to this place, really. I don’t know his friends, so we don’t have any topics in common. So here I am, chatting with you.”

Cindy smiled as well. “I see. You can take a stroll though. They have beautiful scenery there. I searched it online before, and they said there are a lot of tourist spots there. You can ask Ian to take you around.”
