Logan asked Ian to take a look at the Internet, since Leah’s news had gone viral. Some guy had posted photos of her lying half-naked on the street. However, she was old and had lost her appeal, so the comments were really doubling down on the body shaming.
Ian refused to look. He didn’t care how great someone else’s body was; he just did not want to look at them. After all, he had a girlfriend to take care of his needs. “I see.” He grunted, then he continued, “I might have to leave soon, so let’s get together if we still can.” He would have to start working on a show after this. His schedule wasn’t packed, but it was still full, so he had no idea when he would have time to gather with his friends again.
Logan knew what he was getting at. Now that the furore was nearing its end, it was time for Ian to put work back on track. He proposed, “Okay. See you in two days at my place then. We’ll skip the club this time.”
“Sure,” Ian said, then he hung up without elaborating.
Still wanting Ian to see the photos, Logan decided to send a ton of them right after the call ended. They were all photos of Leah lying on the streets, tied up and half-naked.
Ian shook his head. God, what the heck is this? Leah would usually look dazzling, but that was only because of her clothes and accessories. Without those, she was nothing. Ian tossed the phone onto the couch and went to the kitchen.
Cindy was working pretty fast, since she was only making ramen. She was already done when Ian came in. He took a bowl and huddled closer to her.
Cindy pulled a face. “Enough. Stay away from me.”
Ian stared down as she ladled the ramen out, then he took the bowls to the dining table. “Toss me away after you have had enough of me, huh?”
Cindy took a deep breath. Wow, he’s really dialing up the perversion lately. He experimented with a lot of new positions, and now he talks like a pervert too. Dirty boy.
Ian put the cutlery down and went to call his mother out. Aurora was refreshed and lying in her room, reading the gossip online. Naturally, she saw Leah’s news, and when she came out, she asked Ian, “Did you see the news? God, she’s so flabby all over. My eyes hurt just from looking at her.”
Ian laughed. “Logan sent me the pics. I took a glance, and my eyes almost hurt too. It was unbearable.”
Cindy came over. “What’s the news? Let me see.”
Aurora would naturally oblige now that Cindy had asked. Her phone was already showing Leah’s news, so she showed it to Cindy. “Here you go. It’s hilarious.”
Cindy took a look, and she frowned. “Um, this is just…” This is just embarrassing. Look at the bystanders, laughing at her. Cindy shook her head. “Mr. Morgan is really going to be livid about this.”
The Morgan Family was already infamous to begin with, and now with Leah’s scandals and her latest news, it was making matters worse.
Aurora took her phone back. “He deserves it, no matter how serious it is. He played around too much when he was younger, and now it’s coming to bite him in his behind. It’s his own fault.”
They sat down around the table, but before they could even start to eat, Ian’s phone rang. He glanced at it, but the call came from an unknown local number. He could guess who it was even without picking it up. After all, there were only so many people who were related to him.
Ian declined the call. “Now you know you’re in deep trouble, but it’s no use asking for my help. Not that I can help anyway.”
Cindy was quiet for a moment. “Oh, it’s from Leah’s guys?”

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...
