Aurora hadn’t had lunch yet, so she asked Cindy if she wanted to eat out together. Cindy had no appetite, but since Aurora invited her, she didn’t refuse. She went to change and left the house with Aurora.
They were just going to make do with a nearby eatery, but when they came out, they looked around and thought they should go a bit further, since they were already going out. Instead of calling a taxi, they went along the sidewalk, and a long while later, they came across a classy restaurant.
Aurora smacked her lips. “This will do. Let’s get something good. Our lives are already hard enough, so we should reward ourselves from time to time.”
Cindy had no appetite, but when she caught a whiff of the food’s scent, she started getting hungry. Well, we are making more money now, so why shouldn’t I enjoy myself? Lots of people are annoying me recently, so I should treat myself. They went inside and chose a room, then they started ordering their food. Cindy didn’t really care about the food, since she could cook, but when she saw the menu, she ordered everything she thought would taste fine.
Eventually, the waiter stopped them. “Are you two alone? If you are, then this is more than enough. It’ll be a waste if you can’t finish the food.”
Cindy said, “We have someone else coming later. It’s fine. Just take our orders.”
The waiter said nothing more. Aurora ordered everything she wanted to eat as well. They knew they ordered too much, but they were annoyed, and they could only vent through eating.
Aurora’s phone rang after the waiter went out. Most of the time, her phone was little more than an accessory. Only Hannah, Ian, and Cindy would occasionally call her, and that was all. Since Ian was at his company, it was impossible for him to come over, and since Cindy was right before her, it was impossible for her to be the one who made the call. Well, I know who it is without even looking.
She took her phone out and looked at it, then she chuckled. “He never was this persistent before. He used to be an impatient man. Should I feel honored?”
Cindy said, “If you don’t want to take it, I can do it for you.”
Aurora shook her head. Instead of picking the phone up, she left it on the table. “We’re adults now. There’s no need to hide. I’ll tell him myself, but I want to see how far he’ll go.”
Cindy thought that Aurora must still have some feelings for the man, or she would have already told him off immediately.
The call ended, but the phone rang again a moment later. Aurora stared at it, then she picked it up right in front of Cindy. She didn’t mind Cindy being there at all. ‘What is it?” she asked.
Cindy couldn’t hear what the man said, but she could feel that Aurora wasn’t being as strict as she was a few seconds ago.
Aurora said, “I’m having lunch outside.” The man said something, then Aurora answered, “Not sure. I just came out.”
Cindy picked up the teapot, poured herself some tea, and took a sip. She then realized Aurora was being silent, but instead of asking her anything, she waited for Aurora to finish.
The man probably said a lot of stuff. Aurora pursed her lips, and her face slowly fell.

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...
