He held Cindy's hand. "I'd like to catch a break. We'll talk about my plans after that." He had a lot of things to do—things that were more important than work.
Cindy mused over it and nodded. She didn't ask Ian about his plans. They leaned on each other and made small talk, then delivery came. They roused Aurora and took their seats at the dining table. There, Ian told his mother he wasn't going to renew his contract.
Aurora could guess it, and she grunted. "Hannah brought it up a few times. I could guess it then."
If he did want to renew his contract, he would've brought it up instead of dragging it out. Aurora might be a failure of a mother most of the time, but she knew her son, at least a bit of him. The fact he dragged it out meant he didn't want to renew his contract. Aurora didn't know what to say.
Hannah asked Aurora to persuade Ian to renew his contract, but she didn't think there was a need for that. Everyone had their own choice in life. She wanted to return to the industry, but her son wanted to go on the opposite path. That was the choice he made, and she refused to butt in. She wanted him to do what he liked, but still, she was curious about what he wanted to do, so she asked.
Ian took a bite out of his meat. "I'd like to catch a break. When all these… scandals die down, I'll start planning my future." He wanted to hold a wedding. Even though he and Cindy were married, he still wanted to give her a wedding so she could be the center of everyone's attention for at least a day.
Aurora heaved a long sigh. "That's not a bad thing. Finish up your stuff and live quietly with Cindy. You don't have to face the public for a while.
He nodded. "I think so too. It's been exhausting as of late, and I don't know why. I've been trying to ease up at work, but I still feel tired." When Logan called last time to tell him about his life, Ian envied him. Logan said he'd spend time with his wife whenever he had time. Lola was about to go into labor, so he stayed with her all the time. He brought John up as well. John stayed at home with his wife and children, and he didn't work. That was Logan's dream.

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...
