The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1677

Chapter 1677 Cindy’s Friend Is My Friend

Ian’s question was clearly directed to Cindy. This time, Peter was sensitive enough to excuse himself. He hastily bid goodbye to Cindy before thanking Ian for the meal.

Ian looked like he was up on cloud nine at this point. With his arm around Cindy’s shoulder, he turned to look at Peter. “No worries. You’re Cindy’s friend, and that automatically makes you my friend!”

Both Cindy’s and Peter’s expressions stiffened when they heard Ian’s words. Cindy hadn’t expected Ian to do such a thing, so she was at a complete loss for words. As much as she tried to relax, she couldn’t brush off the awkwardness she was feeling.

“I didn’t know you guys had this sort of relationship,” Peter commented as he looked at Cindy. He was obviously stunned by the sudden revelation.

Cindy had no way to go against what Ian said, so she had no choice but to laugh it off. Peter no longer said much after that—he simply waved goodbye before walking off. When Peter was a safe distance away from them, Cindy wriggled her body to shake Ian’s arm off her shoulder. Ian pulled his arm away when he realized what she was doing.

“Should we go for a walk, or should we head home now?” he asked as he turned in the direction of their residential area.

Cindy had no reason to suggest taking a walk—she was already dreading their walk home since she didn’t know what to say to him. “Let’s just go home. Did your mom have her dinner yet? Should we buy something for her?” she asked as she walked a little faster.

“I texted her earlier, and she said that she cooked noodles for herself,” Ian replied.

Cindy didn’t say anything else after that. On the way back, both of them were quiet. If I’m being honest, I really have nothing to say to him, Cindy thought. Silence filled the air until they got home to find Aurora on the couch. She was gaming on her phone—she was especially addicted to the game since she was new to it.

Although Aurora didn’t have her mic on in the game, she was shouting and talking to herself. She didn’t even look over when she heard the door opening. “You guys are back already?” she said. “I thought you guys would walk around for a while more. Isn’t it a little too early to be home?” she asked Cindy and Ian.

Neither of them responded to her. Once they took their shoes off, Ian headed to his room to get his clothes before he walked into the shower. Cindy, too, took out a fresh set of clothes as she waited for her turn to use the washroom. Both of them had sweated after exercising earlier, so they had to shower before bed.

During times like these, Cindy longed for the house that she and Ian had lived in previously. There were two washrooms in that house, so they didn’t have to wait for their turn to shower. After Ian entered the shower, Cindy went over to sit on the couch.

She watched Aurora’s game while Aurora tried to hold a conversation with her. “Did you guys have dinner already?”
