The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1770

Chapter 1770 To the Morgan Residence

Ian knew why he was doing that, and he would have mocked Peter if it was in the past, but he couldn’t be bothered

to even tell him off now.

Peter nodded. “I think you guys are close.”

“Not exactly,” Ian said. “We were fighting when we first met you. Didn’t even talk much. Didn’t you realize she was

giving me the cold shoulder?”

Peter forced a smile. “She’s stubborn, but she’s a nice girl.”

I don’t need you to tell me that. He grunted. “Well, it’s normal for girls to play hard to get, especially when they’re

in front of the guy they like. I understand that, so I’ve been trying to make her feel special. I think it’s really fun.”

Peter pursed her lips. He felt hurt just from hearing that. Even though Ian wasn’t showing any public affection with

Cindy, it still hurt Peter’s feelings. He nodded. “I see. I’ll be going now. I don’t have anything to do here.”

“See ya around.” Ian sat back down and saw Peter off.

Meanwhile, Cindy and Aurora hailed a ride and headed toward the Morgan Residence.

Aurora said she dreamed of Leah the night before, and she was feeling restless the whole day, so she insisted on

coming over to take a look.

Cindy objected to it at first. After all, there was nothing to gain from seeing Leah when she was in this condition.

However, Aurora kept convincing her since that morning, and Cindy had always been a softie at heart, so she came

with Aurora in the end.

They stood on the street across from the residence and looked at each other, clueless about what they should do

next.

The residence’s door was closed, and it looked like it was locked. Even if it wasn’t, they couldn’t just go in whenever

they wanted.

Cindy stared at it for a while. “I think someone must be standing guard inside. They should come out if we knock.”

Leah was locked in the basement after all. A servant or guard must be around, since they couldn’t leave Leah

unattended.

Cindy had her own worries as well. Aurora was a public figure after all, so if someone took pictures of her at the

residence, they might come up with another made-up scandal. She didn’t want any of them to drag Ian down, not

after he had finally made his return. After some deliberation, they went to a café nearby to talk about their next

move.

Cindy negotiated, “Why don’t I go and ask how she’s doing? I don’t think anyone will notice me, so I’ll be asking

around.” She did appear in the news previously and there were even photos of her, but in reality, nobody paid

attention to her in the whole case. Everyone only cared about the Morgans, and she had nothing to offer in the

case, so it’d be better if she went to ask instead of Aurora.

Aurora turned to look out the window and tried to get a better view of the residence, but the café wasn’t really

standing too near the residence, so she could see nothing from this distance. She hesitated for a moment before

saying, “It’s still worrying even if you’re the one who’s going. Actually, I’m not seeing Leah just so I can laugh at her.

I just want to know how she treated Ian in my absence.”

Aurora never cared about her son for a lot of years. She kept telling herself that Ian should be living fine, since he

had Bryce to care for him. However, she realized how naive that line of thinking was now. Leah was harsh to him,

and Bryce wouldn’t be too far off. She shouldn’t have expected a man like Bryce to be an actual dad to her son.
