After waiting for some time in his room, Ian took a change of clothes, planning on taking a shower. On the other
hand, Cindy was done cleaning up the kitchen, and was laying the duvet out on the sofa. Upon taking a closer look,
Ian realized she bought a new set of bedsheet and duvet cover. She covered the sofa with the bedsheet, as well as
tucking the duvet into a cover.
Ian stopped in his tracks to explain himself when Cindy looked his way. “I’m going to take a shower.”
Grunting, Cindy nodded her head. After she was finished with setting up her space on the sofa, she watched TV on
the sofa. On the other hand, Ian was done showering after half an hour. When she saw that, she retrieved her own
clothes from her suitcase.
Ian knew what she wanted to do, so he quickly entered his own room in strides. After a while, Cindy turned off the
TV before going to the bathroom. The fact that she was sharing a bathroom with a man while in his house made
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther feel a little awkward.
She finished showering as quickly as possible, then she got out of the bathroom after drying her hair. Combing her
hair while walking toward the sofa, she only managed to take a few steps when she saw Ian coming out from the
kitchen.
She was taken aback by his presence, whereas Ian was also feeling a little awkward for some reason. “I came to
get myself a glass of water.”
On the other hand, Cindy tried to will herself not to blush while replying, “Okay.” Tidying her pajamas, she was
feeling fortunate that they were all of a conservative style, so it wasn’t inappropriate when she wore them in his
presence.
Meanwhile, Ian returned to his room in strides. After closing the door, he leaned against it. This is absolutely crazy,
having to report to her about everything I do. I feel like I’m living in another person’s turf. Taking a few deep
breaths, Ian left the glass of water on the bedside table before going to bed. Due to him having a hard time falling
asleep, he took out his phone.
Gossip about him and Cindy was still a trending topic online now that photos of him and Cindy shopping together
were published. If nothing else, the paparazzis knew how to frame their shots, as they seemed like a sweet couple
in those photos despite the fact that they weren’t actually being intimate. There was one particular photo that
depicted Cindy turning to inquire about something with a smile on her face. From an outsider’s perspective, the
photos depicted the interactions of a couple in love. Ian couldn’t help but laugh when he went through the articles
and photos. They sure know how to tell a story. I could almost believe that we’re really in a relationship after
looking at these photos. Ian browsed through the photos roughly before setting his phone aside. Turning the lights
off, he tucked himself under the blanket. Although he wasn’t used to having Cindy living in his house, he still

eating the food she cooked, so much so that he couldn’t sleep at all. Heaving a sigh, Ian blinked while staring into
the darkness of his room. The fact that he couldn’t see clearly in the dark enhanced his other senses, so he could
hear rustling noises outside of the room, and he knew it was probably Cindy.
It sounded like she was heading to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water, but after that, she spent some time
walking around. Ian wasn’t sure what she was doing, but he only listened in silence. After half a minute or so, the
noises finally died down, which indicated that she finally lay back down. Rolling over in bed, he had his back to the
door while closing his eyes. Women are a hassle to deal with, he thought to himself. Meanwhile, Cindy finally lay
down on the sofa. Utterly exhausted, she fell asleep soon after. However, she hadn’t had a peaceful night, as she
dreamed of bringing the two hundred thousand home, which she was forced to hand to her mother. Part of the sum
was used to pay for her brother’s tuition fees, whereas the rest was used to buy a house for him. Nevertheless,
what transpired in the dream didn’t stir up a lot of emotions within her, as she was already used to being the giver
in the household. .
