The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2094

Chapter 2094 Romantic Ideals

The girl had cried when she was disqualified from the show, but the competition got the better of the rest of the contestants. They must have been happy to see her go since none of them went up to comfort her. In fact, most of them elected to stand by and watch her shed tears.

Ian hadn't been the most sympathetic either, but everyone else's apathy was so obvious that he found himself handing the girl a piece of tissue, and the exchange constituted their first official meeting.

Cindy paused in thought before she said, "It must have been hard for her, but if your agency has signed her on, it must mean that she has talent."

The couple walked out of the company building and hailed a passing taxi. It was only after Ian had gotten into the car that he replied, "Yeah, I guess she has some talent."

They stopped talking about the girl and Cindy fished out her phone.

She wanted to see if Valerie had responded to the rumors online, but when she searched through the internet, she came up with nothing. She supposed silence was a form of response as well.

After that, she kept her phone and looped her arm through Ian's before leaning her head against his shoulder.

He would be filming on set the next day, and she would return to the company for her day job. Hence, it left them a day's worth of time to laze around at home together.

They returned to the neighborhood where they stayed, but instead of going home right away, they headed toward the supermarket next to the compound.

The refrigerator was running empty and they needed to stock up on groceries. Upon entering the supermarket, Ian walked over to the homeware section and browsed through the aisles. Since he and Cindy had recently gotten married, he felt that the sheets at home needed changing.

While they had put off the idea of holding an actual ceremony, he didn't think it meant they had to omit home decorations to indicate their newly-wed status.

As such, Ian picked out red bedsheets and his-and-hers pillowcases before placing them into the shopping cart. He chuckled and said a little self-deprecatingly, "You don't even care for these things, do you? Maybe I'm just overly sentimental about stuff like this."

Cindy laughed. "I used to be quite the romantic as well, but after going steady with you, I view these as mere formalities that don't allude much to the sentiments we have."

Perhaps things had been so smooth-sailing between them for a while that run-of-the-mill romantic ideals no longer applied to them, and she did not care much for the otherwise-insignificant details that played no role in solidifying their relationship.

Ian gently tipped her chin up and kissed her through his mask. They exchanged a brief glance and burst into lighthearted laughter.

Following that, they went over to the produce, poultry, and seafood sections. By the time they came out of the supermarket, they had amassed quite the impressive haul. At this point, Cindy was truly falling in love with how ordinary their lives seemed.

They had only just reached home when Ian's phone started ringing.

Cindy changed into slippers and glanced over at the caller ID flashing on Ian's phone screen, only to see that it was Logan calling.

She looked away and brought the groceries into the kitchen.
