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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, 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?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIan also seemed to be slightly awkward as he stood in the living room. He didn’t know where to place the luggage
case. It couldn’t just lie there in the living room.
Of course, Aurora didn’t have much care for that. She took Cindy by the hand and led her to Ian’s room. “You must
be tired out from the journey. You can rest for a while, and I’ll get some food for you. I’ll call you when it’s ready,
okay? Now just go ahead and rest.”
Cindy stood in the room, suddenly at a loss. She didn’t know what to say or what to do. As for Ian, he was still in the
living room, and his hand was still on the handle of the luggage case.
He had heard what Aurora told Cindy, of course. Aurora had asked Cindy to rest in his room, so that meant she
would have to stay there for the night as well. Ugh… Why didn’t I take this issue into consideration? He really didn’t
know how to resolve the situation at hand.
Of course, Aurora wasn’t aware of the awkwardness. She simply let Cindy settle in and even helped hang her bag
up on the clothes rack. Then, she turned around and left the room, meticulously closing the door behind her.
As she turned, she noticed Ian who was still standing in the same spot. “What are you doing, just standing there?
I’m going to cook some ramen for her. You can just go in and keep her company or sit on the couch. Why are you
just standing there like some statue?”
