Cindy naturally could not refuse, but she said that her home was a little remote. It was not located in a city with good economic development, and there were no famous attractions. However, Aurora did not mind and simply waved her hand. “I don’t care about famous attractions. More importantly, you grew up there, so we want to know more about the city you’re living in."
Her words warmed Cindy’s heart, and Cindy immediately smiled. “Then, when you have time, I’ll bring you around and treat you to a meal there.”
Ian, who was walking behind them both, raised his eyes to look at Cindy. Cindy had her head turned sideways to look at Aurora, and the dimple at the corner of her lips was very obvious. He slowly exhaled, suddenly feeling that this was quite a pleasant situation. Although he had to worry about where to sleep at night when Cindy came over, he felt great peace of mind with her here.
As they walked on without purpose, they passed a kiosk, and Ian went to buy water. Soon, he came back and gave the bottles to Aurora and Cindy. When he was handing one to Cindy, she lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, but she still thanked him.
At that, Ian held the bottle tight and did not immediately let go for some reason. After failing to yank it from his hands, Cindy reflexively looked up at him. Looking like a prankster who had succeeded, Ian curled his mouth and chuckled. Pursing her lips, Cindy tried to look angry, but she couldn't control her ears, which turned red at once. Feeling chagrined, she did not know why she felt this way when it came to Ian. After all, this was not in her nature, and even when she was facing her company's higher-ups, she was not this nervous.
After she took the bottle, she went to the other side of Aurora and tried to keep some distance from Ian. Later, they continued to walk ahead, and soon they spotted a shopping mall not far away. At this moment, the big screen outside the mall was promoting the recent release of a movie. Cindy did not like watching movies, and neither did Ian, but Aurora looked up at the big screen with a longing expression. "I haven't gone to the movies in a long time."
Although she only casually mentioned it, there was an underlying meaning within it. Hearing that, Cindy and Ian coincidentally glanced at each other and quickly withdrew their gazes. Ian looked at Aurora and asked, "Do you want to watch this? But I remember you don't seem to like to watch this kind of movie."
The movie the big screen was promoting was a science fiction movie, and after all the time Ian spent with his mother in front of the TV, he had more or less noticed that she was more into romance.
Aurora smacked her lips as her eyes were still on the big screen. "It doesn't matter what genre the movie is. The main thing is that I really haven't been to the cinema for a long time."
She slowly moved her eyes to Ian and continued, "Before, life wasn’t good. Moreover, that man was not romantic, and when we were living together, there was never a sense of romance."
As she said so, Cindy was not sure what Ian felt, but she herself felt rather sad. Aurora was a middle-aged woman, and at this age, half of her life had passed. At a younger age, when she needed romance, she had not had the good fortune to obtain it, and now that she was much older, it was understandable for her to long for it.
Thus, Cindy turned her head and looked at Ian. "There is nothing else to do anyway. Let’s go in and watch it."
Clearly, Ian had no way to refuse, so he could only nod. The three of them went into the mall together and took the elevator to the movie theater upstairs. However, while they were buying tickets, Aurora instantly saw the promotional poster next to them. She pointed to that one and said, "Hey, that one is also showing today, right? Let's watch that one instead."
Cindy and Ian turned their heads to look over at the same time and realized that it was a romance movie that was in line with Aurora's preference. Besides, this movie was less popular than the science fiction movie, and not many people were watching it.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
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...
