Chapter 1434


    The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “Do you usually watch horror movies with such an attitude?”


    Cindy solemnly nodded. “Didn’t you realize that this horror movie appears less frightening after I’d said that? I can adjust the atmosphere


    with my attitude and make people less afraid.”


    Ian stared at her for a while before he nodded without saying anything. It seemed as though he was only now beginning to understand her


    slightly.


    At the end of the month, Ian took a day off because his mother wasing. Cindy had never heard him mentioning his mother before, but


    back when news of his background circted widely on the Inte, she’d read a bit of it. Thus, she knew that his mother, Aurora Peyton,


    was once a renowned singer and was a huge hit in the entertainment industry. However, she then met Ian’s scumbag father, and her entire life


    was ruined.


    Ian’s mother came in the morning, whereupon Cindy and Ian both waited for her outside themunity. His mother had permed hair while


    wearing a tight-fitting shirt and wide-leg pants, coupled with kitten heels. Undeniably, she still looked very much attractive.

    Ian didn’t go over to his mother but stood by themunity gate, so Cindy stood beside him. His mother was even wearing sunsses, and as


    she stepped out of the taxi, she studied Ian for a while before walking over. Then, she remarked, “This is quite an easy ce to find. Come,


    let’s go in. I forgot to have some water before leaving home, so I’m rather thirsty.” She acted as though this was her own territory.


    Cindy was a tad awkward, not quite sure how she should greet her. Nheless, Aurora didn’t even look at them, walking into themunity


    area herself. Ian turned, and at the same time, he said to Cindy, “Let’s go.” With just that meeting, Cindy could tell that Ian’s rtionship with


    his mother wasn’t good.


    After walking a distance, Aurora slowed down and waited for them. When Ian and Cindy had caught up with her, she thenmented, “I saw


    the news about the two of you on the Inte. Are you both truly dating?”


    A tad embarrassed, Cindy didn’t quite know what to say. This is Ian’s mother, so I can probably tell her the truth, but it’s best to have fewer


    people in the know when ites to this matter. She turned and looked at Ian, telling him without words to answer this question himself


    He can decide himself whether to tell her the truth. While Ian didn’t look at her, he understood her meaning. He merely grunted in assent as


    an answer to Aurora. Subsequently, Aurora shifted her gaze to Cindy, looking her up and down. It wasn’t certain whether she was satisfied,


    but she then retracted her gaze a few secondster. The three of them went back to their ce upstairs. The moment Aurora stepped into the


    house, she looked around before heading straight to the sofa and sat down. “I actually arrived yesterday, but it was toote. I didn’t want to


    bother you, which was why I stayed the night at the hotel. This time, I mainly came back to see you.” Taking a bottle of mineral water and


    juice from the refrigerator, Ian went over and ced them on the coffee table. “What’s to see about me?” His words and tone sounded rather


    rude. On the other hand, Cindy walked over and sat down beside him without interrupting them. Aurora wasn’t at all offended.


    Slipping off her sunsses, she ced them on the coffee table before snagging the juice and twisting the cap open. In a single go, she


    guzzled half the bottle. When she put it back down, she said, “I was nning toe some time ago, but I was dyed.” Ian looked at her


    thoughtfully. “Even if you’de earlier, I was very busy, so I wouldn’t have had time to entertain you.” He was so brash in his speech that


    Cindy turned and nced at him, gently patting him on the arm. Although she didn’t quite like Aurora either, feeling that her affair with Bryce


    Morgan had dragged Ian down, she still thought that there wasn’t any need for impertinent remarks that would make the atmosphere awkward


    since Aurora was already sitting here in the house. Aurora chuckled, not at all bothered about his words and tone. “I’m actually very surprised


    that you debuted. But it’s a good thing since your brilliant voice isn’t wasted,” she noted.
