Cindy stared at Yulia, and she tried her hardest not to laugh. “For argument’s sake, even if Ian breaks up with me, do you think you can be his girlfriend? Don’t you know what everyone’s talking about?”
Yulia chuckled. “Humans are quick to forget.”
She was right, and that was especially true for the entertainment industry. Gossip was in a state of constant update. Even if a celebrity had a dark past, that would eventually get forgotten. On top of that, it was easy for someone to whitewash themselves and make a comeback, especially for a powerful woman like Yulia.
Cindy nodded. “You’re confident. Then may the best woman win.”
Nobody said anything after that, but they both stayed in the room. It was as if they were having a war of attrition in silence, and the first one to leave would lose. In the end, some other celebrity came in, since they had to put on some makeup as well, and Yulia left, for she was in no position to stay for too long.
After Yulia was gone, Cindy went out of the room as well, but she saw Yulia the moment she came out. She was on her way out, so Cindy watched her. Hm, she’s not looking for someone she knows. She’s probably leaving right away. Cindy wasn’t angry at all at that point, since she was used to Yulia’s attitude. I should really make some time to go back to my place with Ian.
She waited until Ian was done with work. Since Yulia wasn’t around, Ian said nothing, and they left the set. Ian had to meet up with the producers, so the driver took Cindy home before driving Ian to work.
Cindy knew Ian wouldn’t make it in time for dinner, so she made a simple ramen for herself, then she went for a stroll. A while later, she felt like paying a visit to Aurora, so she went over without even calling her.
She went straight to Aurora’s place and knocked on the door, as she had been to Aurora’s home before. It took Aurora a while to come and get the door. She looked surprised to see Cindy, and then she looked awkward.
Cindy realized that there must be a visitor in the house. She was a curious woman, but she had manners and knew it was not the time to barge in. She stood outside and asked, “It’s not the right time, isn’t it?”
Aurora looked behind her, then she shook her head. “It’s fine. Come in.”
Cindy went in after getting Aurora’s permission. When she came to the living room and saw someone on the couch, she wasn’t surprised, though she didn’t say anything. The guest was a man, and he seemed slightly older than Aurora was.
Aurora came to introduce the man to Cindy. He was Aurora’s ex-boyfriend, but he broke up with her since he didn’t want Aurora to get into the entertainment industry again. I guess he’s here today to convince Aurora to get back together with him.
I can’t do anything about someone else’s relationship, but him coming here at this time to make up with her just reeks of conspiracy. Cindy had a feeling that the man had some schemes of his own. Now that Aurora’s getting some success, he shows up out of nowhere. He must want something from her. She couldn’t say that, of course, so she just nodded at the man and asked Aurora if she had dinner already.
Aurora pursed her lips. “No. Have you had dinner already? I was going to call you guys and see if we could eat out.”
Aurora didn’t know Ian had to see the producers tonight, so Cindy said, “Ian won’t be having dinner at home tonight, but I made dinner, and I was going to invite you over too.”

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...
