In the past, when Cindy cleaned up, she only felt like she was working for others. At that time, she regarded herself as Ian's assistant and nanny, and this place was just her dormitory. But now, cleaning gave her an inexplicable sense of belonging, as if she was tidying up her own home. After a while, since it was almost time, she sent a message to Gary and asked where they were dining tonight.
Gary had just finished his work, so he immediately texted her with the address and private room number.
Soon, Cindy and Ian changed their clothes and went straight to the hotel.
He arrived a little later than them and was not surprised to see Ian there. Then, he nodded at Ian and asked, “Mr. Morgan, how are you?”
The corners of Ian’s lips lifted. “Not bad.”
Gary took his seat, and then said, “You have to look on the bright side about a lot of things. Life is just a process where people come and go.”
Ian agreed with a smile. “Actually, I'm fine. My father didn’t suffer for too long. We’re all grateful about that.”
Nodding, Gary called a waiter over to start ordering. After the dishes were ordered, the topic changed wherein Gary began talking about the project that Cindy invested in. At present, the operation of the project was smooth with a considerable profit. He mentioned that if the economy allowed, Ian and Cindy could probably inject more funds as the project would not lose money in a short period of time.
Cindy turned to look at Ian and asked, “Boss, what do you say?”
Hearing this, Ian laughed. “Wow, you give me so much respect outside. Don't you always have the final say at home?”
Gary raised his eyes to look at Ian, and then at Cindy, the corners of his mouth twitching. Actually, the smile on his face was not obvious, but she still saw it. Gary usually smiled at her, but the expression on his face was a bit different this time.
Cindy was slightly stunned for a moment before quickly withdrawing her gaze. She didn't know whether she was being too sensitive, but she felt that his smile earlier was rather strange. It's just that she had limited understanding and couldn’t analyze it.
Ian and Cindy didn't discuss much before he said, “We believe in you, Mr. Frye. How much do you think we should add?”
Gary's gaze quickly moved around the two of them and it finally fell on Ian. Then, he discussed the prospect of the investment project with Ian. He said that the specific amount of the follow-up investment still depended on Ian's decision. Cindy herself didn't understand these things very well. Even though Gary had tutored her a few times before, she was really not good at these things and couldn't understand them at all. Since Ian was better at this than she was, she simply ignored it and pushed everything to him.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes and she just lowered her head to eat, occasionally listening to Ian and Gary’s discussion. She wanted to understand, but her ability was really limited. Gary and Ian had a very thorough discussion and did not involve Cindy in the topic.
Halfway through the meal, Cindy's phone vibrated twice. She thought about it before taking it out to check. It was a message from Naomi asking how Cindy was doing recently and how her life was going. Cindy breathed a sigh of relief as she thought it was Yulia. If Yulia kept harassing her, she would really have to have a serious talk with Yulia.
Then, Cindy replied to Naomi from under the table. Naomi was probably free as she immediately replied, saying that she had been following the news in the entertainment industry recently.

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...
