The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2027

Chapter 2027 Upon Reflection

Ian wasn't lying when he said that he hadn't spoken much to Yulia. He knew that Cindy would certainly feel rather offended because he hadn't told her about it. So, he no longer dared to hide it from her and decided to come clean. Cindy listened to his explanation attentively, and she gave his stomach a soft pinch after hearing what he said. "How should I deal with you if I find out that you're lying to me?"

He quickly reached over to pull her in for a hug. "I wouldn't dare to do that. You're so smart—I'm too scared to lie to you."

Cindy didn't press him since Aurora was beside them, so she decided to let him off the hook temporarily. Once it was time for them to board, they got onto the plane and found their seats. Aurora must have woken up a little too early, for she shut her eyes after settling into a comfortable position. Both Ian and Cindy were sitting next to each other while Aurora's seat was separated by an aisle. That way, Ian and Cindy could talk without having to worry too much.


Once everyone settled down in their seats, Cindy turned around to look at Ian. "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Ian had already expected this. He knew that she wouldn't let Yulia's visitation go so easily. It was the same logic—he felt just as uneasy when he found out about Cindy and Gary meeting up with each other.

They held the same beliefs about each others' opposite-sex relationships, so it wasn't hard for him to put himself in Cindy's shoes. Ian held Cindy's hand as he spoke. "I'm not hiding anything from you. I just don't think there's a point in mentioning this. Yulia has her own selfish intentions for visiting me—she didn't just come because she wanted to see me. She only came because she's struggling on her own. She probably wanted to show me how tough she had it so that I'd put in a good word or two for her." Ian spoke in a warm and sincere tone. "I don't think she has any other intentions toward me now. In fact, I think she might even hate me. Her life wouldn't be in such a state if it weren't for me."

Cindy pressed her lips together as she stared at Ian with a suspicious look on her face. "Are you sure you're not hiding anything else from me?"

He sighed. "There's nothing else. Don't you believe me?" Only then did Cindy look away from him. "Fine. I believe you, but I won't let you go so easily if this happens again."
