Now that Ian was back, Cindy got some appetite, so she said okay and went to take her phone.
Ian wobbled over to the kitchen and asked his mother about work. She said it was fine. A moment of hesitation later, she whispered, "The news that's going viral isn't great for your career, is it?"
Oh, that one. "It's fine. It honestly depends on who believes that stuff. Just because they're trying to drag us into it doesn't mean we have to play along."
Aurora clicked her tongue. "Bet he has a team working with him. Wonder what he's hiding up his sleeve."
Ian patted Aurora's shoulder, calming her down. "It's alright. He can come at us with everything he has." He was in the wrong, to begin with. Everything he texted Aurora, Ian had taken a snapshot. He didn't even bother keeping anything a secret, and most of the snapshots had things that could incriminate him. If Ian were to let these snapshots loose, the court of public opinion would take their side.
Ian just didn't want to entertain him for the moment. Aurora heaved a sigh. "And now Leah's dead. Why do these things happen in succession anyway? All these cases are going to hurt your career. What'd your company say?"
Ian shook his head, looking nonchalant. "I'm fine. It might seem like a lot of stuff, but I'm fine. Not like these things have anything to do with me. We can't do anything about the public's opinion, so all we can do is control our minds."
He's really optimistic about this. Sometimes I'm really impressed. Maybe he's just not caring because he's been working in the industry for a while. I don't think I can be as uncaring as he is. Cindy came back after ordering delivery, then she hugged Ian from the side and rested her head on him, a smile curling her lips. She said nothing, but her happiness was palpable, and Aurora laughed. "She's never even laughed once when she was with me."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
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...
