Everyone was happy, so everyone drank a tad bit more than they should.
Cindy didn’t feel wrong sitting down, but when she stood up, her head felt like it was hit. However, she held it down and slowly went toward the bathroom. She washed her hands, then splashed her face with cold water.
The wine didn’t kick in at first, but now it was, and it kicked in strong. She knew she mustn’t drink anymore, or there’d be trouble. Cindy hid in the bathroom for a while until she felt slightly more sober, then she went back. She had half a glass of wine left, so she didn’t touch it until dinner was over. By then, it was already dark.
Ian only looked slightly tipsy, and his face was red.
The guests left the house and got in the cars John arranged to bring them home.
Aurora was getting high. She was really happy, so she kept talking with Matilda and Old Mrs. Constance at the doorstep.
Ian was standing beside her. He held Cindy with one hand while putting the other in his pocket, looking languid and relaxed.
Some small talk later, Aurora finally was starting to wobble, so Ian held her arm and said goodbye before going to the car park.
A driver was waiting for them there. Cindy got in the car, but she didn’t remember how. When she opened her eyes again, the car had already stopped in front of their home.
Aurora slept all the way home. When she got out of the car, she almost fell.
Ian was still holding his own, so he took Aurora upstairs.
Aurora finally realized they were home after they came in, so she stumbled off to her room and threw herself onto her bed.
Cindy’s head was buzzing, but she went to wash her face nonetheless. She had forgotten about who should sleep in the room at this point, so she groggily went back to the room and climbed into bed, covering herself with a blanket.
Ian went to have a glass of water before he washed his face. Then, he wobbled back to his room as well. At this point, everything started becoming blurry.
He didn’t notice Cindy on the bed, since she had covered herself with the blanket. After he changed into his pajamas, he lay down right beside her and turned the lights off before drifting to sleep.
Everyone slept soundly that night. It was already morning when Cindy woke up. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was seeing a wall. A wall… made out of flesh? She also felt something on her waist and leg.
She breathed silently before slowly looking up. The first thing she saw was Ian’s chin, then his sleeping face. So what I saw was his chest. She turned her head little by little and saw Ian’s hand on her waist, while his leg was on hers.
She was lying in his embrace, entangled together like lovers. W-What’s going on?
Cindy was frozen up. She didn’t want to move in case she woke him up. If both of them woke up at the same time and saw this, they could never face each other again. And so, she tried her best to wiggle out of his arms carefully.
But Ian’s hand was too heavy to move. She didn’t push it with all her might in case she woke him up, but he wouldn’t even budge.
As if that wasn’t enough, Ian seemed like he was going to wake up, much to her horror. She quickly closed her eyes by reflex and pretended to sleep.
However, Ian didn’t wake up. All he did was shift a bit so he could sleep more comfortably. He tightened his hug on her and kept sleeping.

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...
