The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2028

Chapter 2028 Bad Dream

Ian didn't know what Cindy was thinking about. When he saw that Cindy had shut her eyes to take a nap, he got the air stewardess to bring her a blanket. During the flight, the three of them didn't talk much. Cindy had only intended to shut her eyes for a while, but she ended up falling asleep. Ian didn't go easy on her the night before that, so she was still tired even though she got enough sleep.

Cindy had a rather complicated dream. She dreamt of Yulia, Valerie, and Sena circling around Ian and looking at him longingly. Ian didn't reject any of them, but seemed to enjoy their company. Cindy desperately wanted to chase these women away, but she couldn't seem to do anything apart from standing and watching them.

After a while, the scene changed in her dream, and she saw Ian in the midst of a shoot. However, the scene he was filming was filled with girls, and they were all girls that he had some history with. Such dreams troubled Cindy all the way until the plane was about to land. She only jolted awake when she heard the announcement of the upcoming landing. Ian immediately noticed something wrong with Cindy. "What is it?" he turned to ask her.

She froze for a moment before turning to look at him. Some parts of the dream she had still lingered in her mind, so she couldn't help but glare at Ian with a hint of hatred in her eyes. Ian was puzzled by this. "Why are you looking at me like that? How did I annoy you this time?"

She gritted her teeth. "You cheated on me in my dreams, so I attempted to slaughter you."

He felt the sudden urge to laugh, but he nodded to play along with her. "It's good that you slaughtered him. He's probably a fake version of me, so you should get rid of him. I don't want him ruining my reputation."

Cindy wasn't in the mood to fool around with him, so she folded her blanket and placed it aside before looking out the window. She could see the faint outline of the town they were about to land in. We're finally here. I've been feeling so uneasy throughout the plane ride. Time passed by quickly when I was asleep, but I'd rather have time pass slower than to sleep and dream of all those girls with Ian. That dream really ruined my mood.

Meanwhile, Aurora had also woken up. She was resting in her seat and staring into the distance. Both the women looked like they weren't in a good mood—it seemed like they were both troubled by something. After their flight landed, other passengers grabbed their luggage before heading to the exit, but Aurora and Cindy merely sat in their seats quietly with blank expressions on their faces.

Ian felt like laughing. "What's up with you guys? It feels like you guys had the same dream earlier." Cindy rubbed her face. Her restless sleep and her bad dream had dragged her mood down. She had been excited to go to Ian's hometown, but her mood had been ruined after the dream.

The three of them only got off the plane after most of the people had left. Ian went to collect their luggage while Cindy and Aurora stood beside each other. After contemplating for a moment, Cindy turned to look at Aurora. "What is it? You seem rather unhappy too."

Aurora shook her head. "It's nothing. I just feel rather sentimental." Cindy could guess what Aurora was about to say upon hearing Aurora's first sentence.

"Did something happen?" Cindy asked in a hushed tone. Aurora let out a soft laugh. She felt comfortable sharing things with Cindy, so she said, "It's the guy from before. When I was about to turn my phone off on the plane, I saw his text. He has a new family, and his life is stable now. He hesitated to send me this message, but he said that he wanted to thank me for my companionship."

Cindy froze for a long while after hearing Aurora's words. "Didn't he ask you to get back together with him just a while ago? How did he get a new family so soon?"

Exactly, Aurora thought. His progress seems a little too fast.
