The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1630 One Little Problem

Ian narrowed his eyes as he glared at Cindy for a few seconds. He thought she must’ve had a good time at home. He wasn’t quite sure, but he could somehow see that she had gotten a little plumper.

Ian was even more irritated at that thought. After all that ordeal, she left him and went on her jolly way like no one’s business. He was upset inside, so he couldn’t hide the emotion completely from view. As a result, he stood next to Aurora with a stiff expression on his face.

In contrast, Aurora looked like she was welcoming her own daughter as she went forward. “You’re finally here! We’ve been waiting for you! Come, I’ll take your luggage for you. You must be so tired! All that traveling must’ve taken a toll on you!”

Cindy stood where she was and tried to focus her attention on Aurora. A corner of her lips went up. “Ah! It’s alright, so please don’t worry. It’s not that heavy.”

Still, Aurora managed to wrestle the luggage from Cindy. “Don’t be shy! Come, let’s go home.”

Ian didn’t say a word as he turned and led the way.

It was only then that Cindy dared to steal a glance at Ian. Even though their gazes never met, she could still see that Ian wasn’t too glad. She knew him too well, and she could read every single gesture of his.

Cindy was a little uneasy before, but now that she saw Ian’s behavior, she instantly became calm. The three left the airport and got into Ian’s car.

Cindy didn’t even ask where he got the car from. After getting into the car, she simply sat there obediently.

Aurora sat next to Cindy in the backseat. She held Cindy’s hand and started talking about how boring the days were, and she could finally have someone to talk to now that Cindy was back.

Aurora was truly elated, and in her joy, she didn’t notice the awkwardness hiding in Cindy’s calm expression. On the other hand, Ian was driving, and he remained silent throughout the whole journey. He pursed his lips, and his mood didn’t seem to be too bad, but it wasn’t too good either.

Only Aurora chattered on and on during the journey, and even when the car pulled up near the house, she showed no signs of stopping. After getting out of the car, she was still saying, “Rest up well tonight, and we’ll go shopping tomorrow. There’s not much work now, and the paparazzi are not a concern either. What a wonderful time to be out and about!”

Cindy simply smiled and nodded, but Ian’s expression remained cold. Still, he was still quite gentlemanly as he helped Cindy retrieve her luggage from the trunk. Then, he lugged it all the way home.

After Cindy entered, her first reaction was to count the rooms available. When she found out that there were two rooms, she stiffened. She had thought of that problem during their journey, for she didn’t notify beforehand that she was coming.

If Ian were to rent a house by himself, he wouldn’t consider her part of the equation. Since there were only him and Aurora, he would definitely get a house with only two rooms. Now that Cindy was here, how would the accommodation work?
