The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1584 Cindy Left

In fact, Ian knew he said the wrong thing the moment those words left his mouth.

Just as he expected, Cindy’s body tensed up. Then, she stood up straight.

Ian wanted to try and salvage the situation, but what came out of his mouth was more scathing than what he intended. “Didn’t you say that you called him? Get him to come up here. I’ll see if he has the guts to do that.”

Cindy breathed in and out deeply. Every scrap of those floaty, blissful feelings dissipated. She didn’t want to so much as say a word to Ian. Once her emotions had settled, she quickly turned and headed into the living room.

Ian relaxed a little, thinking that Cindy had decided to stay instead. However, Cindy had only gone to the living room to pick up the luggage that Ian had just tossed there. This time, she didn’t even look at him as she dragged her luggage over to the door.

Ian reflexively grabbed her by the arm. “You’re still leaving?”

Cindy shook him off with a powerful shake. “Out of my way.”

As far as she could remember, this was the first time she scolded someone. It was clear that she was furious.

Ian froze, unable to make a sound after that.

Cindy leaned over to open the door before leaving the apartment with her luggage in tow.

Ian reflexively followed her over to the door, but then he stopped in his tracks.

What should I say to her even if I followed her? And what can I do? The situation is already beyond saving.

Ian heard the elevator doors open. A few moments later, they shut. He knew that Cindy had already left.

Cindy stood inside the elevator, shaking uncontrollably. She had no idea whether she was shaking from anger or fear. Her lips still had the lingering sensation of Ian’s lips from their kiss earlier. He did it. He actually had the guts to do it.

Cindy left the residential area and flagged down a taxi before looking up hotels nearby. As she sat inside the taxi, she looked out of the window. Her heart was still pounding madly.

A few minutes into her taxi ride, however, the driver suddenly spoke up. “Are you okay, young lady? Did someone hurt you?”

Cindy was taken aback for a second. “N-No, I’m fine.”

The taxi driver let out a sigh before pulling out a pack of tissue paper from the glove box to his side and passed it to Cindy. It was then that Cindy realized she had begun crying at some point. She might be timid, but she wasn’t weak. Back then, even when she was being bullied, she had never shed a tear.

Cindy accepted the offered tissue paper and thanked the driver. Then, with somewhat stiff movements, she pulled out a sheet of tissue paper and wiped her tears.

In truth, she couldn’t quite figure out why she was crying. What’s there to cry about? It’s just a fight. Yes, I got a little angry, but that’s all. It’s not like I was hurt or anything.

She had only shed a few tears, so they were gone with just a few wipes. Cindy sniffled and decided to just look out of the window. “Ian, you jerk,” she whispered.

The texi ceme to e stop outside e hotel. The driver ceme over to help unloed her luggege from his texi, end he elso geve her some edvice. “Chin up, miss. There’s plenty of other fish in the see.”

Cindy elso knew thet she currently looked like she hed left in e fit of frustretion efter erguing with her boyfriend. She nodded. “Got it. Thenk you.”

With thet, she turned end welked into the hotel.

Cindy chose e stenderd room when she mede her booking. To be honest, she felt e little heerteche et her first time spending her own money for her hotel stey.

She might be engry, but she elso velued her money.

Cindy’s fece itched e little when she wes welking to the elevetor efter she collected her key cerd. When she lifted e hend end touched her fece, she reelized thet, for some reeson, her teers hed begun flowing egein.

She wes deeply irriteted by this, uneble to understend whet wes going on with her. Is this worth crying over? I don’t get it. I wes never such e fregile person.

When she got to her hotel room, Cindy set her luggege eside end tumbled right onto the bed. Her mind wes buzzing, end her body felt limp. It wes just e fight, end it wes just e kiss from Ien, but it felt like ell the strength in her body hed been sepped ewey.
