Cindy didn’t really care much; she simply set the phone aside and ate with Aurora. While they ate, Aurora’s phone vibrated. Glancing at it, Cindy knew that there was an incoming message.
A surprised Aurora had no idea who sent the message, so she picked up the phone and checked it, after which she frowned a little.
Cindy asked while eating, “What's wrong? Who sent you the message? Is it from the filming crew? Is something the matter?”
Aurora shook her head. “No, it’s from the person we were talking about earlier. He sent me a picture of his daughter’s child.”
While putting the phone down, she thought about it and raised her eyes to look at Cindy. “When will you and Ian get married and give me grandchildren?”
As if she had been affected by Ian’s lewdness, Cindy suddenly thought about the process of conceiving a child. She hurriedly put her thoughts to rest as she felt aghast at herself.
After lunch, she watched TV for a while with Aurora before Aurora left.
When Cindy was left alone once again, she went to take a shower first, and then went back to her room to finish the design that she hadn't finished earlier during the day. She was humming a song while drawing and her phone was next to her. She didn't know when Ian would be finished with his work and merely waited for his reply.
She had just finished with the design when he called, informing her that he had just finished work and was now on his way to the hotel.
Cindy held the phone with one hand and the brush with the other, asking, “Have you eaten yet? Quickly eat when you get back.”
Ian's voice was filled with amusement as he responded, “I ate a little just now. Some of the crew members’ families came to visit today, so I had some food.”
Now that visits were mentioned, Cindy couldn’t help but think about her visiting Ian. It was an innocent matter which had suddenly resulted with so much gossip. After that, she hurriedly spoke to him about the matter of Yulia's statement.
He grunted and replied, “I heard the others talk about this. Yulia doesn’t have a good relationship with that director. The two had also belittled each other in the previous interview.”
Cindy spoke with some emotion. “I thought Yulia has no enemies in the entertainment industry and that they are all her contacts.”
At that, Ian laughed out loud. “How is that possible? With her kind of personality, it’s extremely easy for her to make enemies.”
She nodded in agreement. Previously, when something happened to Yulia, no one in the entertainment industry had stood up for her. Her so-called connections were only based on how much value they had for each other.
Ian then changed the subject and asked Cindy how Aurora was doing. He had called Aurora a few days ago, but they had hung up without saying much on the phone as she was extremely busy.
Cindy did not mention the matter of Aurora being pestered by that man; she merely replied that everything was good on Aurora’s end.
If Ian was beside her, she might have mentioned Aurora’s matter, but even if he was aware of it, there was nothing he could do since he wasn’t physically here now. So, it was better to forget it to save him from less trouble.
After that, she said that the matter of the drama was resolved wherein Aurora would be responsible for it since she had been in charge of the negotiations for some time.
At the other end of the line, Ian grunted and then hesitantly said, “Yulia actually helped out with this.”
A startled Cindy could only sigh. “She really treats you well.”
Hearing this, he laughed. “I really don’t need her to treat me well. It’s too stressful and I feel way too burdened.”
She smiled as she knew that he was being honest and not pretentious. Thus, she commented, “I understand.”
After the two people talked for a while, someone over on Ian’s side needed him, so she proceeded to cut the call.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
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...
