The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1658

Chapter 1658 Another Invitation

Ian nodded. “Yes, yes, I’m sorry. And I apologize for my mistakes, okay?”

Cindy wasn’t sure if it was a joke or a serious apology for his earlier actions, but since they had gotten to this point, all she could do was say, “Fine. I’ll let this slide, but if you do it next time, you’ll be sleeping on the couch.”

Ian nodded with a smile. “Got it.”

Sophia felt relieved seeing their interaction. She had a sharper intuition since she was a woman. Even though Ian and Cindy didn’t talk much, Sophia could see that they were more than just friends. Logan told her they weren’t dating yet, but Sophia thought it was just a matter of time.

Since she couldn’t motivate Ian, she showed the baby to Cindy. “Do you think he’s cute?”

Cindy didn’t really like children, nor did she come into contact with them a lot. It was impossible for her to awaken her love for children suddenly. She thought Sophia’s baby looked soft, but that was all. “Yeah. He’s soft and bubbly.” She nodded.

Aurora looked at her and knew Cindy was exactly like Ian in this department just by looking at her face. Sometimes they’re so alike, it’s infuriating. She sighed silently. Aurora then ignored Cindy and walked around with the baby in her arms.

The baby was staring at her, but then he suddenly smiled. He was already adorable to begin with, so the smile melted Aurora’s heart. She held the baby’s chubby little hand, lamenting, “I wonder when I will get to hold my own grandkid.”

Matilda smiled and reassured her, “Soon. Ian’s not young anymore, but you can’t urge them. They might just do it one day. They’re still young, so they’re still rebellious. The more you nag, the more they won’t do what you want.” She looked at Ian and Cindy. “You’re both good-looking, so I bet your children will be beautiful.”

Cindy was fidgeting. The conversation was getting out of hand and hard for her to participate in.

Lola was caressing her belly gently. “How long will you be staying here? Come over if you have time. Logan’s been telling me about how much he wants you to visit us.”

Cindy had no idea how long they’d stay this time. Hannah said the company had work arranged, but there was no news until now. She was panicking, but she couldn’t pester Hannah about it.

Ian pursed his lips. “Not sure. It depends on the company, but I haven’t received any notifications yet.”

Lola nodded and turned to look at Logan. “We should get ready for the next dinner. It’s our treat. Come over on the day after tomorrow.” She looked at Sophia. “And take your boy along.”

Sophia smiled. “You’ll have to ask John. He’s the one taking care of the baby, so it’s up to him.”

Matilda sighed. “Wow, you really are letting him do all the work, huh?”

Sophia snorted. “He said he’s staying home to take care of the baby, so that’s what he’ll get.”

Matilda paused. Oh yeah, John still won’t go to work. William’s going to whack him at this rate. The company was growing well and saw a lot of increase in sales. Everyone was as busy as a bee, and even the second family was asking John to get back to work. However, John didn’t give two rat’s arse about it and kept staying at home like nobody’s business.
