As expected, he couldn’t handle it either.
Cindy paused in her steps but finally went toward Ian. As she got a little closer, he heard her and turned to look at her with a flat expression. “You can’t handle it in there?”
Cindy returned with a question of her own, asking, “You can’t either?”
Ian chuckled a little. "Well, I’ve never been interested in this stuff in the first place.”
He had faced too many cameras in his life, so much so that he lost any empathy he used to have while watching movies. In fact, he would keep thinking about the whole lot of staff off-camera. In his opinion, all the scenes with their strong emotions were fake.
Turning around, Cindy leaned against the wall like him and replied, "I don't really like watching such stuff either." Then, she added, "Mrs. Morgan is still inside?"
Ian nodded as an acknowledgment. "Actually, she’s not watching the movie anymore. But I don’t understand why she is so eager to watch those couples and their romantic interactions?”
Smiling, Cindy did not speak, but Ian appeared rather hesitant when he spoke. "I met with the Morgan Family, and their outlooks are rather unified when it comes to certain concerns. But before they can come forward to take a stand, we need to spread the information about some issues."
Ah, that's beyond my expectation! “The Morgan Family is open to discussions?” she asked.
Ian thought about his previous meeting with Sean. He felt that Sean was quite open to discussions, and at the very least, Sean had no intention of making things difficult for him. It was probably because he had never wanted to compete with Sean for the family fortune, so Sean trusted him. Compared to Simon and Sally, Ian was really not a threat at all, so Sean would naturally be on his side.
Cindy nodded. “As long as they are agreeable. I hope when they come forward to take a stand, they won’t speak ambiguously. If they do, the outside world would likely over-interpret things, and by then, not only would things be not explained clearly, but trouble would also be stirred up as well.”
Naturally, Ian understood this truth, so he slightly raised his head and exhaled. "It's fine. Do not worry."
Since they could not continue just standing there, Ian said, "Let’s go sit over there for a while."
There were public tables and chairs next to the screening hall, and as the movies were being screened now, there was no one outside, as almost all the patrons had gone into the halls. Thus, the two of them went to sit on a bench. Before that, Ian went to buy two cans of soda.
Cindy's initial discomfort and embarrassment had waned, so she waited for Ian to sit down before she asked, “Did Hannah tell you when we should get ready? I sent her a message before, but she only told me to wait.”
Ian nodded in response. "She also said the same thing to me. According to her, the company will make arrangements, and I suppose they will be hiring online trolls. Moreover, they will have to broadcast news in advance, so let’s just wait it out. After all, so much time has passed, so it’s fine to wait a few more days.”
However, Cindy wanted to remind him that despite the fact that it had been a while, they had been apart all those times. If they continued to wait, they would have to wait together. Thus, it was likely that they had to live in the same room or even sleep on the same bed. It would be the worst for her.
Thinking about this, Cindy felt very uncomfortable and thus asked, “What should we do at night? It’s not right for us to sleep together in a room, right?”
Cindy is right, but I really don’t know how to deal with this situation. "Then how about I sleep on the floor and you in bed?"
Luckily, the weather was still warm, and the temperature had not yet dropped, so the only downside to him sleeping on the floor was that the floor was just a little harder. Cindy's brow furrowed when she heard the suggestion because she was certainly too disconcerted to allow it.
In the end, Aurora actually waited for the movie to end before coming out. At this time, Cindy and Ian were leaning against the chairs outside, playing games on their phones. When Aurora came out and found them, she smiled and went over. "I found out that watching people being in love is much more interesting than watching a romance movie."
Cindy was amused by her sudden comment. "Do those people know you are spying on them?"
Aurora sat next to her and replied, "They don't have the time to look at me; their minds are all on each other."
Ian said helplessly, "If they knew you were spying on them, they would probably beat you up.”

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...
