The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1547

Chapter 1547 Why Is He Not Back Yet?

After Cindy finished cooking, she called Ian again.

Fortunately, he picked up this time around, but his voice was quite calm. “What’s up?”

Upon hearing that, Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. “Why are you still not home yet? I called and messaged you just now, but you didn’t reply. I was worried that something might have happened to you.”

Snorting, he countered, “I’m already an adult. What could happen to me?”

Cindy pursed her lips in response. “Are you coming home for dinner? Naomi will also be here and we can ask Mrs. Morgan to come over too.”

However, he immediately replied, “I’m not going back tonight. I have something on later.”

Cindy then opened her mouth and wanted to ask him about what he would be up to, but through the phone, she could feel that he did not treat her as well as before.

In order not to feel uneasy, she did not ask that question and just nodded.

“Then can you call Mrs. Morgan and ask her to come over for dinner?”

Ian agreed and neither of them spoke after that. There was complete silence on the line.


Initially, Cindy wanted to have a quick chat with him to ask how he was doing but before she could say anything, he hung up on her.

Standing in the kitchen, she held her phone tightly as she zoned out.

Seems like Ian is not in a good mood. I think he is mad about something.

Cindy quickly placed the food that she had just cooked on the dining table and waited next to it.

Aurora was the first to arrive. After all, she stayed quite near to them.

When she entered the house, she was quite surprised. “Ian said that he has something on tonight. What could happen at the company? I asked him, but he didn’t tell me.”

Cindy was too shy to say that she did not dare to ask him.

Hence, she could only find an excuse for him. “Perhaps they wanted to talk to him about his schedule for next month. It’s not a big issue.”

Upon hearing that, Aurora nodded. “Alright, as long as there are no major problems.”

Just as they finished speaking, Naomi arrived.

She was also surprised to find that Ian was not home, but she did not think too much into it.

She just joked, “How is it going? I must say, Ian is too hardworking! It’s already so late, yet he’s still out working.”

Cindy agreed and played along with her. “Yeah, he’s still young after all, so it’s good to work hard.”

The three women then sat down for dinner. This time around, they had a proper dinner. Without Ian around, the topic of their conversation became wider.

First, Naomi complained about being busy at work all day, and she placed her focus on the couple who were displaying their affection to each other publicly.

Then, Aurora also chirped in on the same topic and complained on how she sometimes saw young couples hugging each other in public, acting as if no one else was around.
