The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1889

Chapter 1889 Sensitive Nature

Cindy shook her head without saying anything else, indicating the fact that Yulia didn’t reveal a lot about Ian’s bewilderment. Nonetheless, she went on and said, “Well, Yulia mentioned that she canvassed for you during your talent show competition.”

In response, Ian sniggered and said, “Seriously? I reserve judgment about what she told you.” Ian believed he was someone with a good memory but couldn’t remember who Yulia was at all. Although there was a possibility that he might have forgotten her because he had met too many people over the years, he didn’t think he would forget Yulia's conceit and arrogance so easily.

Cindy leaned back in her seat and let out a sigh. “Well, I suppose it makes me feel a little better knowing that you don’t remember her.”

Then, she turned her attention to the filming set and added, “It seems to me that Yulia treats you more than just an acquaintance. I don’t know whether it was because she no longer bothers to hide her feelings anymore, but she surely did act like she didn’t care about that in front of me.”

The driver sitting in front turned around and looked at the couple. “What? Yulia is into Ian?”

Seemingly trusting the driver, Cindy didn’t bother to hide her instinct and replied with an affirmative hum, “Wasn’t that what you previously suspected?”

Despite his suspicion, the driver still appeared to be surprised after hearing Cindy’s words. “Oh gosh! That lady really knows how to look for the right man for herself, but I don’t think she and Ian would make a perfect match. After all, that lady is such a stuck-up snob, although Ian could bask in her glory if he dates her. Nonetheless, I think dating her is going to be quite tiring for you, Ian.”

Ian shot a gaze at the driver in an amused manner. “What’re you talking about? I’ll never lay my eyes on her.”

Aware that his words might have sounded a little too contemptuous, the driver quickly explained for himself. “I know, I know. I was trying to look at it from a man's perspective, plus you already have a girlfriend, and that’s all the more reason you both will never be together.”

Then, he went on and complimented Cindy, saying, “Besides, I think Cindy is so much prettier than she is. At least, she looks much friendlier and more approachable, but that lady has nothing else worth praising about herself other than her high social status. In fact, she looks like the feisty and coy type of woman to me.”

Ian sat straight and leaned back in his seat. “Alright, let’s hit the road now. We’d like to quit thinking about that and go back now.”

Thus, the driver stepped on the gas pedal and headed toward Ian’s residence. While neither of them said anything on their way to their destination, the driver seemingly couldn’t stand the fact that Yulia was into Ian and decided to do something about it. As soon as they arrived in the residential area in which Ian lived, he turned his attention to Cindy and probingly asked, “Seriously? So Yulia really has a crush on Ian, but could that be a misunderstanding?”

As much as Cindy hoped it was a misunderstanding, she was disgusted with Yulia even though she would make Ian look even prouder if she was his girlfriend. After all, Yulia’s possessive nature was especially evident in those few attempts when she showed up around Ian without any concern about his girlfriend at all.

Deep down, Cindy was aware that someone like Yulia would prove difficult for her to deal with as she believed she wouldn’t have to do anything if Yulia was someone with a strong sense of morality. This was because she would have walked away from the entanglement due to the conscientious struggle on the inside, which was why those who didn’t mind compromising their morality would be so much harder to handle.

I can’t believe that’s the kind of person Yulia is.

When Cindy got home, she got herself refreshed and stepped out of the bathroom, only to see Ian talking on the phone on the balcony. Thus, she stood in the living room and fixed her eyes on the man whose expression she couldn’t see because he was facing away from her. Soon, her sensitive nature began to haunt her with wild imaginations, causing her to wonder whether Ian was talking to Yulia over the phone.

At first, she didn’t think of listening in on the conversation as she waited in the living room, but when Ian’s phone call felt like it was taking forever, she started to become restless. So, she tiptoed closer to the balcony, opening the door that was shut just when she could hear Ian’s voice.

At that moment, Ian didn’t turn around as he was seen with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone. Then, he spoke over the phone and said, “Things are working out between the two of us, so I’m not going to think about anything else at the moment. After all, I love my current life, and I’m happy with my career and my relationship status.”
