The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1711

Chapter 1711 Is He Pitiful?

However, Sean had never expected that there would be a day when he could gain an apology from Bryce. This was beyond his wildest dreams. After all, that man in question was Bryce Morgan, someone who was well-reputed to be unreasonable and domineering.
However, Sean had never expected that there would be a day when he could gain an apology from Bryce. This was beyond his wildest dreams. After all, that man in question was Bryce Morgan, someone who was well-reputed to be unreasonable and domineering.

It’s quite unexpected for Bryce to actually apologize to me and seek my forgiveness. Sean was shocked to the core and he felt quite uncomfortable about this, so he had drank slightly more than usual as he socialized with the clients.

In the text message to Ian, Sean had mentioned that he felt quite disorientated right now. After all, he was quite sure that his hatred toward Bryce remained there but somehow, upon Bryce’s apology, he suddenly pitied Bryce. Is he pitiful? Ian, however, disagreed. After all, even if Bryce went down on his knees right now to apologize to Ian, the latter would not find the former pitiful at all.

If Bryce’s current life was much better than what he was going through right now, then he would never have realized his mistakes. He was repentant mainly because he was going through bad times at the moment, so the reason for all of this finally dawned upon him.

However, Ian couldn’t quite spell out all of these to Sean because everyone would have their own considerations when handling different matters. Perhaps Bryce had treated Sean quite well all of these years, so that was sufficient to compensate for some of the mistreatment Sean had suffered. As such, Sean was willing to forgive Bryce. However, this was between the two of them and had nothing to do with Ian at all.

Ian considered everything that happened between him and Bryce, and he was quite sure that there would not be any reconciliation in this lifetime. The former didn’t have any regrets and he knew that it was likely Bryce shared the same sentiments. After all, there was no love lost between them.

Presently, Ian heaved a sigh and tightened his arms around Cindy. Then, he gradually dozed off.

However, both of them didn’t have a good night’s sleep at all. Cindy had a dream. In her dreams, Ian and Yulia were in a relationship and the duo had participated in a reality show for couples, all the while behaving lovey-dovey in her dream. Meanwhile, Cindy trailed along behind them and carried their toiletry bag with her with an exhausted look on her face. Ian had his arms wrapped around Yulia’s shoulders and the duo had sweet smiles on their faces. As for Cindy, she was tempted to rush forward and pummel the both of them but in the end, she restrained herself and stood by the side to wait on them.

Cindy felt quite offended inside the dream the whole night, which resulted in her being quite moody upon waking up the following day.

As for Ian, he looked far worse than her. He had also dreamed last night and Bryce was in his dream. In Ian’s dream, the older man kneeled in front of him as he apologized.

He had dreamed of Bryce expressing his regret sobbingly and the latter had apologized for not shouldering his responsibility as a father, which resulted in the former’s suffering in the past. Bryce had also mentioned that he regretted abandoning Ian’s mother and he even wanted to find a way to make amends. Perhaps there were some things that were wishful to seek for in reality, so Ian could merely indulge in his dreams.

Evidently, Ian and Cindy were not in a good state and Aurora seemed to be quite perplexed by them. She was quite cautious around the duo as she assumed that they had gotten into another fight the night before. And so, she went to the extreme and fought to prepare lunch for them. Then, she strongly encouraged Cindy to take a rest on the couch.

Cindy didn’t have a good night’s sleep and she felt a slight headache, so she didn’t behave overly courteous. She did as told by Aurora and naturally went to take a rest. However, she didn’t chill on the couch but went back into the bedroom to take a rest on the bed. In fact, she didn’t feel sleepy at all, but her headache was bothering her and she couldn’t seem to do anything else.

Meanwhile, Ian stood at the balcony to make a phone call. Then, he went back into the living room, only to find Cindy gone. Right away, he knew that she must be in the bedroom.

He wandered around in the living room before heading toward the kitchen. Then, he stood there and said, “I don’t have an appetite so let’s have something bland.”

Just then, Aurora chuckled. “I can tell. It’s quite obvious from her reaction and I’m not blind to all that. I know what to do. You don’t need to put on an act in front of me.”

Instantly, Ian shut his mouth. I shouldn’t have mentioned it. She’s quite perceptive, so of course she would be able to tell that I’m voicing out on Cindy’s behalf.

Aurora’s hands were busy with the meal preparation but she chattered on, “You should go and get some rest too. You look terrible. I’ll get you once lunch is ready.”

Ian nodded. “Sure.” Then, he turned around and went back into the bedroom.
