The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1637

Chapter 1637 Lying to Keith

At the mention of this, Cindy remembered what had happened inside the screening hall. Those young couples were probably passionately in love with each other to be so bold and daring.

To be honest, she was also a little envious of them, since she obviously was not much older than them. Yet, she felt that her heart was much older, as she no longer felt the passion and enthusiasm girls her age should feel. Even if she had a boyfriend whom she loved right now, she would never be able to make out with him in the cinema like that.

Soon, Ian ordered two more dishes, and Aurora did too. Waiting for the waiter to leave, Aurora exhaled a long breath and leaned back in her chair. "Now that Cindy is here, I have a much better appetite."

Cindy laughed next to her but didn't speak. Hearing his mother’s comment, Ian nodded and replied, "Since you two are so close to each other, then you should sleep together tonight."

Once he said that, Cindy also immediately reacted in time. She hurriedly turned sideways and wrapped her arms around Aurora. "Yes, then I will sleep with Mrs. Morgan tonight."

Aurora, as if she could see through their two minds, snorted. "I'm not used to sleeping with others. Besides, you two little lovers should not be separated. Why do you want to come over and sleep with an elderly woman like me?”

Cindy replied softly, "You always say you miss me. Don't you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with me at night?"

At this, Aurora patted Cindy's hand that was wrapped around her arm. "We both have so much time in the daytime to talk about things. Why should we get together at night to talk? I thought you would want to talk with Ian more at night."

Cindy quickly said, "No, no. I have nothing to say to him."

Hearing this, Aurora looked at Ian and chastised, “Hey, have you not made up with her yet?”

Ian thought for a moment and spoke helplessly. "I can't. Her temper is too hot; it's not easy to make up with her."

Aurora laughed, this time at Cindy. "Just forgive him for this first time. Next time, if he messes with you again, you can deal with him. I think he will remember this lesson for life.”

Cindy did not know what to answer because it was not a lover’s quarrel between her and Ian, so it would not do for Ian to simply coax her into reconciliation.

Since Cindy did not speak, Aurora also did not push the matter, and after a while the waiter brought food up, so they began to eat. Cindy was not too hungry, so she simply accompanied them without eating. She couldn’t help but pay attention to the two dishes she ordered, and she found that it was true that Ian ate those two dishes the most. In fact, she really didn't think that much when she ordered the dishes, but now that she saw Ian eat more of them, she felt rather pleased.

As she waited for them to finish eating, she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate twice. She hurriedly took it out to check it, and it turned out to be a message from Keith. He mainly spoke about the results of his test, and the message was accompanied by a picture that showed his class ranking, which looked pretty good.

Then, Cindy messaged him back with praises. It was after nearly a minute before Keith sent a message again. This time, he asked her whether her relationship with Ian was real. He said he just saw the online gossip news and only realized that Cindy and Ian were romantically involved with each other.

Cindy stared at her phone for a long time, not knowing how to reply to Keith. She had never lied to him before. This time, she did not want to lie this time either, but if she told the truth, she felt there would be some trouble in the future. It was not that she did not trust Keith, but some things should only be made known to as few people as possible. After she hesitated for a while, she had no choice but to reply to his question.

‘Yes, we are together at the moment. But it's not certain what things will be like in the future, so let's take one step at a time and see what the future holds.’

I guess I left things quite open and did not give any sort of guarantee with this reply. As for what Keith thinks about it, I suppose it’ll depend on his ability to understand things.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Cindy, all of her actions, as well as her microexpressions, were noticed by Ian.
