The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1468 One Couldn’t Have the Best of Both Worlds

Ian shook his head since he was clueless about it as well, for Aurora seemed quite happy while discussing her upcoming film role with Hannah back then. Moreover, she had acquitted herself well when they finished discussing everything and left. However, as soon as they left the cafe, she suddenly said she was thirsty and went to the supermarket. When she came out of the supermarket, she was already as drunk as a lord. Ian didn’t know what had happened in the supermarket, but he figured she had probably bought booze instead of drinking water. As for why she had drunk herself into a stupor, Ian couldn’t figure it out on their way home. When he asked Aurora why she did so, she didn’t answer him. Instead, she kept making trouble along the way.

Cindy thought for a moment before she sat down next to the woman. Then, she patted the latter several times on the back and said in a tone of voice that sounded like she was coaxing a child, “You should go to rest early today. You just landed a film role, haven’t you? Now you have to rest up so that you’ll leave a good impression on the others at the screen test later.”

Luckily, Aurora listened to these words. She replied with a nod, “You’re right. I just landed the role today.” She put down the cup and turned to face Cindy, “Do you know how much time has passed since the last time I appeared on-screen? The part is small, and it makes very few appearances in the film, but I’m quite happy.” She took Cindy’s hand and held it in hers. “At last, someone has accepted me, albeit reluctantly. This is an improvement.” She had always talked about her miserable life with a smile on her face, but she visibly choked up this time.

Cindy felt somewhat perturbed when she saw Aurora like this. She patted the back of Aurora’s hand and comforted her by saying, “Things will get even better in the future, so let’s take a more positive attitude. You mustn’t drink alcohol again in the future. You’ll be a performing artist from now on, so you must pay heed to your image. Now go wash your face and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Uh-huh,” Aurora responded. “Yeah, you’re right. I have to pay heed to my image from now on.” She ran her fingers through her hair. “I’m going to wash my face,” she said. Then, she stood up and staggered toward the bathroom.
