However, since they did date for a long while, there was a modicum of love between them. Aurora felt glad that he came to see her, but she also felt melancholic. If the man had come to see her at her lowest, she would have been a bit softer on him. However, he had disappeared and didn’t even call her when she needed him most. Now that she no longer needed him, he showed up again and said he loved and missed her. Naturally, she was angry, and she wouldn’t give him another chance.
Half an hour later, the delivery came, and Aurora started digging in. Cindy knew it was getting late, so she said goodbye and headed back to her place. However, not long after she came out, she met the man at the junction. He’s still here after so long? Feeling surprised, Cindy stopped in her tracks.
The man turned around after she appeared. “Hello.”
He was waiting for me? Cindy pursed her lips and nodded at him. “Were you waiting for me?”
The man looked at her sheepishly. “I want to talk to you.” Then he asked, “Did you have dinner already? I’ll treat you.”
Cindy remembered the excuse she made up back at Aurora’s place. She explained, “It’s fine. Aurora was upset, so she made dinner for us at home instead. I’m full now.”
The man nodded. “Can I have a few minutes of your time? I want to talk to you.”
To be honest, the man shouldn’t talk to Cindy no matter what he had to say, since they had just met. If he did want to say something, he should say it to either Aurora or Ian. However, Cindy only hesitated for a moment, then she nodded. Ian’s not here, so I guess I’ll take his place. I want to know why he’s here as well.
Aurora might have made her comeback, but she’s still in a precarious situation. If any scandal were to pop up, it’d be a disaster for her.
The man was relieved that Cindy agreed. “Let’s find a place to talk.”
Cindy followed the man quietly and went to a nearby restaurant. The man obviously hadn’t had dinner yet, and he ordered some food right after he sat down. Since Cindy already had dinner, she leaned back on her seat and looked around calmly.
While the man waited for his food to be served, he poured a glass of water for Cindy, and he smiled. “I’ve seen you on the news before. I know you’re Ian’s girlfriend.”
“Yes.” Cindy didn’t elaborate on that. Instead, she asked, “How long did you date Aurora?”
The man thought about it for a few moments, then he answered, “Years. We argued a lot in the early days, since we needed time to mesh together. Despite that, we didn’t break up. Eventually, everything started to settle down, and I thought it would keep being that way, but in the end, she went back to the entertainment industry anyway.”
Cindy said nothing for a while, as she wanted to hear what the man had to say, and indeed, he had a lot to talk about. He even went into the details of the days he spent with Aurora, and Cindy could see that the man was trying to say that he really loved Aurora. He was trying to say that he had to break up with her because of circumstances he couldn’t control.
As for what the circumstances were, well, he kept it a secret. He talked a lot, and some sounded complicated, while some sounded too simple. He’s hiding something.

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...
