The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2064

Chapter 2064 She Called

Ian's voice appeared to be disoriented. "I'm sleeping. Why? Is something wrong?"

The person on the other end initially said that there was nothing, but she then continued, "The director and I discussed about you today. He said you have not given him the exact time of your return. A lot of our scenes together are coming up, and following that, you won't have much time to rest when you're back. We were wondering if you could handle it."

Cindy's eyes were still closed, but she knew immediately who the woman on the call was.

The person on the other end must be Valerie.

Though Cindy couldn't recognize her voice, based on the contents, it should be her.

Knowing that, she intentionally squeezed Ian's arms and asked, "Who is calling?"

Even after hearing Valerie's words, Ian was possibly not fully conscious. "It should be one of the crew."

Valerie fell into a silence.

Ian then said toward the phone, "Okay, I get it. We'll talk further when I'm back."

The other end of the conversation agreed and hung up the phone.

With that, he immediately put down the phone and hugged Cindy before falling back asleep.

It was Cindy's guess that he, in fact, didn't know who the person on the phone was.

But she remained silent. Such trivial matters did not warrant her attention.

Hence, she raised her head and kissed Ian on the chin before falling back asleep.

Being able to hug each other to sleep was probably very comfortable as they slept all the way through the afternoon.

Ian was the first to wake up. He took a shower and after he became more clear-minded, he suddenly remembered that he received a call earlier.

And after checking his phone, he confirmed it.

He recognized the caller simply by looking at the phone number.

He didn't save Valerie's phone number as he didn't contact her often. For those who he didn't keep in contact with, he would rather not save their phone numbers.

But Valerie had called him a few times before this, and thanks to his good memory, he remembered her phone number.

Thinking about this, he began to frown. He couldn't recall what Valerie said during the phone call.

He was just too tired to remember anything about the call. In the meantime, Cindy too, had woken up. In fact, she was already half-awake when Ian was taking his bath.

However, she wasn't fully conscious at the time, so she remained laying on the bed.

Only after Ian left the room did she open her eyes and stretch herself.

The moment she sat up, she heard Ian taking over the phone.

His tone of voice wasn't gentle but rather formal. Hearing that, she immediately knew he was talking to someone he wasn't close to.

As the door was opened, she frowned and adjusted her position to keep Ian in view.

Ian was standing in the living room. He had one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone with his back facing her.



She didn't see anything happen. Hence, she got out of bed barefooted and began looking for her clothes.

Throughout the whole process, she kept her eyes glued to what was going on outside.

Meanwhile, Ian had no idea she was awake. He then told the other person on the phone, "I've two more days off and will be back according to the schedule fixed by the director."

Based on this sentence of his, Cindy had already guessed who was on the other end of the call.

Nevertheless, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

The person on the other end of the line appeared to have said something, to which he responded, "It's the same as usual."

Following that, the conversation proceeded with him agreeing with what the other person said and continued, "I was sleeping just now and only saw your call from the incoming call list. We'll talk further when I get back."

After that, he hung up the call right away. In fact, he didn't say much throughout the entire conversation.

Meanwhile, Cindy brought her clothes into the washroom.

When Ian entered the room, he was slightly stunned to see there was no one on the bed. Then, he walked toward the washroom and saw Cindy washing her face.

Standing by the door, he said, "The dinner tonight will begin a bit earlier than scheduled. Snack on some biscuits first, and we'll have our proper meal once we're there."
