The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1489

Chapter 1489 Eating Alone

As Ian waited for the water to boil, he couldn’t stop himself from thinking about Cindy once again.

Ever since she came into his life, Ian hadn’t been in the kitchen much. She was skilled, and not just at ferrying things around and being his assistant; she could also completely handle all kitchen-related affairs.

Ian then thought of how Cindy looked as she cooked—her expression had been both serious and soft.

He leaned against the stove and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. After some thought, he brought his phone over.

By then, Cindy had already logged out of the game.

Ian scrolled through some gossip before logging into Facebook for some idle scrolling. Then, he saw Cindy’s selfie.

Half of her face was in the picture, while the other half of the picture was the background. Ian could tell at a glance that she was at a hotel.

She hadn’t gone back, and she hadn’t left the city either.

Why was she staying at this hotel?


If she had nothing else to do, she could have just stayed behind.

Yet, she went one step further and booked herself a room at a hotel.

Ian pursed his lips as he enlarged the photo and took a closer look. Indeed, it was a hotel. He chuckled coldly then, not because of Cindy, but because of himself. He felt like he was being a busybody. Cindy could stay wherever she wanted, and what did this have to do with him? Moreover, what did Cindy’s choice about not going back to her hometown have to do with him? Or her decision to go without seeing her family for a while?

As though he was sulking, he switched his phone off and continued to cook his dumplings.

With his dumplings ready, Ian sat down at the dining table alone. Perhaps it was because he already had a dining companion for a while, so eating alone felt odd. He felt a little unused to this.

After some hesitation, he called Aurora.

Aurora quickly answered her phone, a hint of a smile in her voice. “Ian, it’s late. Is there anything?”

Ian denied it before continuing to say, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Aurora let out a gasp. “Look at the time—of course I’ve already had dinner.”

“Oh,” he answered before falling silent.

Aurora was a little surprised. “Why did you call me? With the way you’re behaving now, it’s like you’re trying to find a conversation topic when you don’t feel like talking. Where’s Cindy? Is she not in?”

How did his mother figure out that Cindy wasn’t with him?

Ian sighed. “She’s on holiday.”

Aurora was a little taken aback. “With your relationship, does she still need a holiday?”

Ian gave it some thought before answering. He said, “She hasn’t gone back to her hometown in a while, so she went back to see her parents.”
