Cindy didn’t want to bring up the whole mess about Yulia. It’s not like we can come up with a solution anyway. So, she shelved that topic and asked Aurora, “He went to see you again? What did he say?”
Aurora sneered. “He talked about his ‘circumstances’, and he said he can’t forget about me. God, I don’t know what to say. Everyone has their own circumstances. At this point, all of us have a lot of stuff in life to deal with. If he thinks he can justify his past actions with that, he must think I’m stupid.”
Cindy was reminded of what the man told her the night before. And he said he didn’t want Aurora to worry, but now he told Aurora everything. What a joke. He’s just finding an excuse. Aurora saw through him. Cindy asked, “If you aren’t getting back with him, do you think he’ll keep clinging onto you? Can you chase him away easily? If you say no enough times, will he give up?”
Aurora adjusted her position and crossed her legs. “He has a short temper and thin patience. If he’s still the same man I know, he might give up if I keep saying no.”
That’s good to hear. Cindy nodded. “I don’t think that guy’s really reliable. Don’t get fooled. It doesn’t matter if he’s sincere or not. You can’t give in just because he said sorry. At least think more about it.”
“Yeah.” Aurora then smiled. “Honestly, I don’t need any men in my life now. I’m doing well. If I can go further in my career, everything will be perfect.”
She had experienced relationships when she was younger, and now that she had time to reflect upon them, she realized they weren’t as nice as the dramas or novels made them out to be. There were a million things to consider in a relationship, and a lot of the hardships were hidden in the details. People praised relationships because they only looked at the bright side and ignored all the sad little tidbits in it. Aurora had experienced all this, and she thought it was fine even if there was no romance in the remainder of her life. She would be content with just being a rich and slightly famous old lady.
Cindy felt really sad for her, and she held Aurora’s hand. “You have us. We’re a family.”
Aurora held Cindy’s hand and patted its back. “Yes. I still have you guys. I don’t need men.”
Cindy finally laughed, and she heaved a sigh of relief. I’m glad she can think that way. They leaned back on the couch, and Cindy told Aurora what the man said to her the night before.
Aurora sighed. “His grandchild wasn’t born yet when we broke up, but the delivery date was upon them. I thought as much. His grandchild has a disability, huh?” Aurora said melancholically, “Emotions affect everything, I say. When his daughter got pregnant, she kept thinking that her child was disabled, and she just wouldn’t think otherwise no matter what we said. Now that her child is actually disabled, I wonder if she thinks she’s a seer, or if she thinks she shouldn’t have been so pessimistic. That might have been why her child was affected.”
She turned to look at Cindy. “No matter what we run into, we should always stay calm and look on the bright side. Don’t frustrate yourself.”
Cindy was reminded of Ian’s matter. She pursed her lips for a while, then she nodded. “I see.”

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...
