Those partners were mostly young couples huddled together in pairs, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
They were probably here for a place to have their dates.
Shifting her gaze back to Ian, Cindy had a sour face when she said, "You better not do what they are doing. Don't go picking up nasty habits like this."
Ian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the look on her face. "You look exactly like my elementary school teacher earlier," he mused.
She also couldn't control her laughter, but she commented, "Someone had told me before that I look like I would make a good teacher. After that, I gave it a thought. No matter how bratty a child is, they are still the apple of someone's eye. It didn't seem right to me to be both strict and carefree with the children, so no, I would rather not put myself in that kind of trouble."
He reached out to caress her belly while saying, "You only have to worry about our own brat, then," he mused.
When they did the deed earlier, he didn't wear protection again. She had wanted to remind him about it, but thought it was pointless since they were already a married couple now.
Furthermore, she subconsciously knew that she was at an age where she wanted to have a child with him.
Not to mention, she had also been overly suspicious about Ian lately. If they had a child together, it would make their life together more stable where she would feel secure about their relationship.
They continued to talk for a while more before the movie finally started to play. "No more talking. Let's enjoy the movie." She put a finger to her lips and silenced him with a hush.
Since Cindy had a somber and serious expression, Ian was itching to do something at that moment.
It didn't matter what she did—he was excited by her every action and he longed to get his hands on and all over her. His body was fatigued, but his head and heart was still energetic when it came to matters like this.
Ian obediently sat in his seat while facing the screen, but he was gazing at Cindy from the corner of his eye. She was fully engrossed with what the screen played. Not only that, there were hints of sadness in her stern expression as she watched the movie.
Patriotic movies would definitely talk about things like the hardships that their ancestors had to experience. For a man as rational as Ian was, however, it was hard for him to relate to the emotions that movies like this were trying to portray.
He was the type of person who thought that not one day came easy, and that was why every day should be lived to the fullest.
Cindy's thinking was obviously different from his. She would start wiping the tears off her eyes whenever there was a slightly more emotional scene.
On the other hand, he didn't even know what scene she saw that made her cry! Men and women really had their differences in terms of their mentality.
Even though Ian didn't really understand, he automatically reached over to give Cindy a few comforting pats on her shoulder when he saw how sad she looked as she cried.
He could see her red, teary eyes meekly looking at him when the lights from the screen shone on her face.
His heart immediately softened at her sight. Pulling her into a hug, he whispered to her, "It is all in the past now. Those are things that happened a long, long time ago."
Cindy sighed without saying a word as she lay in his embrace.
The movie came to an end about 2 hours later. Some of the audience must have had enough of the movie when they made a move before it ended whereas those who stayed behind began to chatter amongst themselves. There probably weren't a lot of them who really paid attention to the movie.
Despite that, Cindy had patiently watched the whole thing from start to finish. Her eyes were still red when they came out of the movie hall.
"Women can be rather emotional, huh?" Ian asked with a resigned smile.
She nodded and wiped her tears on his shirt before agreeing, "That is right. I don't know about other people, but watching movies like this always reminds me of my childhood."
It wasn't a smooth sailing life when she was young. She was from a struggling family where her father was the sole breadwinner who had to take care of his 2 children.
It was a pity that Anthony had already passed on by the time she could finally repay him. He could have seen her and Ian together if only he had left a little later...
The thought of this gradually caused Cindy's mood to dip.
Ian held her hand as they walked out of the cinema since it was about time for them to have their dinner.

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...
