The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2035

Chapter 2035 Plan B

It wasn't too early or too late in the day, so Cindy had no idea why Ian would leave the room. She felt rather lazy as she didn't get a good sleep—the nap only seemed to make her more tired. After sitting around for a while, Ian came back with Aurora beside him. They were chatting and laughing as they entered.

Ian dropped by and glanced into the room to find that Cindy had woken up. "You're up? When did you wake up? I just went out for a short while."

She nodded. "I just woke up. Where did you go?"

Ian turned the lights on while taking a set of clothes for Cindy. "We went to take a look at the location for our engagement party just now. I went with Mom." As if on cue, Aurora walked up to the room and leaned against the doorframe. "We wanted to call you along, but you were in such a deep sleep. You didn't even respond when I called you."

It seemed like Cindy had really been fast asleep as she didn't even hear Aurora calling her. After a few more seconds, she slowly edged her way out of bed. She didn't feel too comfortable, and she wanted to take a shower.

Ian and Aurora went out to wait in the hall while Cindy took a quick shower. She felt fresher and more clear-headed once that was done. After getting changed into a new set of clothes, Ian told her that Logan, Sophia, and the rest of them had arrived. They were having dinner in the restaurant of their hotel, and Logan and Sophia were already in a private room waiting for them.

Cindy froze before she started to sound anxious. "Why did you just tell me about this? I took my own sweet time earlier." Ian chuckled. "It's fine. Logan's wife isn't here, so he's probably going to go pick her up. Sophia brought her kid over, and the kid is throwing a fit, so they're all pretty occupied. There's no rush."

Cindy still felt the urge to hurry after hearing what Ian said. "Okay. We'll leave once I'm done preparing." She hadn't completely dried her hair, causing Ian to be rather concerned. He walked to the bathroom and pulled the hairdryer out to dry the rest of her hair.

Aurora felt a pang of envy as she saw the couple together. When she had first gotten with Bryce, Bryce had also been equally understanding, attentive, and caring to her. However, Bryce was a useless man who lost feelings after the initial excitement was over. Gone was the attentiveness that he once showed. After that, they were entangled with each other for a long time, which completely ruined Aurora's reputation. There were no other men who were extremely loving to her after that.

Aurora's gaze fell upon Ian. It's good that this boy doesn't have all of Bryce's nasty traits. He's gentle with girls, and he's sweet. She shifted her gaze to look at Cindy. She's a good girl, and I think she matches him well. I may not have gotten my happiness, but I'm happy to see the younger generations getting theirs.

Once Cindy's hair was properly dried, Ian carefully ran his fingers through her hair before putting it up into a bun. Cindy laughed as she turned to look at him. "You even know how to do a girl's hair now, huh?"

He nodded. "I saw some stylists putting other people's hair into buns while I was shooting. How is it?"

Cindy glanced at herself in the mirror. "It's good. I didn't know you had such talent." He helped her up and led her out of the room. "When I stop being a celebrity, I'll have more options." Once he brought this up, Cindy went along with his topic. "When are you going to stop? Judging by how famous you are now, I don't think Hannah will let you go."

The duration of Ian's current contract with his company wasn't too long. After comparing the contracts of a few companies, he chose the one he was in because the duration was shorter. Ian didn't consider contracts with terms that spanned across many years. He didn't know when he was going to stop being a celebrity, but he wanted to have options. "We'll see once the contract ends. They can't control me once the contract is over," he replied.
