The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1604 We Won’t Be Home

“Sure,” Hannah replied. She didn’t notice the dejectedness in Ian’s voice at all. Their conversation came to an end after that, and Ian flung his phone to the other end of the bed after ending the call. Next, he went to his wardrobe to pack some clothes for his trip.

Ian had already made plans to meet Logan for a gathering a while ago, but they initially planned for it to happen during one of the gaps between Ian’s filming dates. However, Ian decided that he would just meet up with Logan now since he wasn’t sure when he was going to proceed with filming. Furthermore, he knew that he would spend all his time thinking about needless things if he stayed home while in a bad mood.

Ian didn’t bring too many clothes, and he was done packing after a short while. He walked out to find Aurora cleaning the kitchen, so he walked over and stood by the doorway. “Do you want to go back with me?”

Aurora froze as she didn’t understand what Ian meant. “What? Where?” she asked while turning her head.

“I’d like to pay Sean a visit,” Ian uttered after heaving a sigh.

Aurora was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what Ian meant. “You can go back on your own. I don’t really feel like going since there isn’t anyone I’d like to see there,” she explained after a brief period of hesitation.

Yet, Ian felt rather bad leaving his mother alone at home. “I have a place to stay there, and you can just walk around the area. Perhaps you can meet up with Logan and his wife. I think that will be better if you stay here on your own. You know Logan; his wife is a pretty nice lady,” Ian said.

However, Aurora shook her head again. “I don’t think I should go. You’re in the eye of the storm now, and I was the one who caused you all this trouble. I’m sure other people will see us if we travel together, and I’m afraid that might spark some other news articles,” Aurora explained.

Ian was never bothered by such matters from the start. “It doesn’t matter if they see us. We might even be in a film together if we get the chance to do so in the future. More people will see us together then! What will you do in the future if you already feel so self-conscious now? We can’t stay apart until we die, right?”

Aurora didn’t seem to have a good comeback after she heard Ian’s words. Hence, Ian quickly made a decision for her. “Pack up. I’ll book us flights for tomorrow, and we can go back together. I’ll call Logan and let him know that we’ll have dinner tonight.”

After sucking her lips inward and thinking for a long while, Aurora finally nodded. “Okay.”

Ian went back to his room later. On the other hand, Aurora headed to the living hall to clean up the area after she was done with the kitchen. She had to do some cleaning since no one would be around at home for the next few days. Once she was done with the living hall, she went to tidy Cindy’s room.

Cindy didn’t stay for long, so there weren’t a lot of things in the room. Additionally, Cindy had already cleaned up most of the room. After standing beside the bed and hesitating for a while, Aurora pulled her phone out to send Cindy a message. The message was a brief one. Aurora simply told Cindy that she and Ian would be away and that the house would be empty. Also, Aurora mentioned that she didn’t know how long they would be gone and that Cindy could ask the management for a key if she wanted to return to the house anytime soon. Previously, Cindy had left the keys behind when she headed back to her own home.
