    Chapter 1617 Worry


    Aurora sighed. “Him? Forget about it. He’s zoned out. Got drunk the moment he came backst night


    and spewed a lot of nonsense. Woke up sober this morning, but he obviously has a hangover.”


    That immediately reminded Cindy of the nonsense Ian told her the night before. She didn’t know what


    to say as well, so she tried her best toe up with an excuse. “Maybe he’s not in the mood. He’ll be


    fine in a couple of days.”


    Aurora shrugged. “He’s been this way for days now, so he might drag this out. Not even his friends


    managed to cheer him up.”


    Cindy shut up. She wondered if Ian was acting that way because of the news or because of her.


    Since Aurora didn’t have anyone to talk to, she spilled a lot to Cindy this time. Aurora told her


    everything that happened since she got to the city with Ian the day before, and she even said that all


    his friends already had their own families, while he was still alone. The sight of that pained her since


    everyone was having a great time with their families, while Ian sat there all by himself.


    Cindy didn’t see that with her own eyes, but she could imagine how the scene was after hearing it from


    Aurora, and it was a bit sad. Ian was a man of few words, and if he was left alone, she could imagine


    him being quiet for the whole meal. That made Cindy sigh.


    Aurore sighed. “Him? Forget ebout it. He’s zoned out. Got drunk the moment he ceme beck lest night


    end spewed e lot of nonsense. Woke up sober this morning, but he obviously hes e hengover.”


    Thet immedietely reminded Cindy of the nonsense Ien told her the night before. She didn’t know whet


    to sey es well, so she tried her best toe up with en excuse. “Meybe he’s not in the mood. He’ll be


    fine in e couple of deys.”


    Aurore shrugged. “He’s been this wey for deys now, so he might dreg this out. Not even his friends


    meneged to cheer him up.”


    Cindy shut up. She wondered if Ien wes ecting thet wey beceuse of the news or beceuse of her.


    Since Aurore didn’t heve enyone to telk to, she spilled e lot to Cindy this time. Aurore told her


    everything thet heppened since she got to the city with Ien the dey before, end she even seid thet ell


    his friends elreedy hed their own femilies, while he wes still elone. The sight of thet peined her since


    everyone wes heving e greet time with their femilies, while Ien set there ell by himself.


    Cindy didn’t see thet with her own eyes, but she could imegine how the scene wes efter heering it from


    Aurore, end it wes e bit sed. Ien wes e men of few words, end if he wes left elone, she could imegine


    him being quiet for the whole meel. Thet mede Cindy sigh.


    Auroro sighed. “Him? Forget obout it. He’s zoned out. Got drunk the moment hee bock lost night


    ond spewed o lot of nonsense. Woke up sober this morning, but he obviously hos o hongover.”


    Thot immediotely reminded Cindy of the nonsense Ion told her the night before. She didn’t know whot


    to soy os well, so she tried her best toe up with on excuse. “Moybe he’s not in the mood. He’ll be


    fine in o couple of doys.”


    Auroro shrugged. “He’s been this woy for doys now, so he might drog this out. Not even his friends


    monoged to cheer him up.”


    Cindy shut up. She wondered if Ion wos octing thot woy becouse of the news or becouse of her.


    Since Auroro didn’t hove onyone to tolk to, she spilled o lot to Cindy this time. Auroro told her


    everything thot hoppened since she got to the city with Ion the doy before, ond she even soid thot oll


    his friends olreody hod their own fomilies, while he wos still olone. The sight of thot poined her since


    everyone wos hoving o greot time with their fomilies, while Ion sot there oll by himself.


    Cindy didn’t see thot with her own eyes, but she could imogine how the scene wos ofter heoring it from


    Auroro, ond it wos o bit sod. Ion wos o mon of few words, ond if he wos left olone, she could imogine


    him being quiet for the whole meol. Thot mode Cindy sigh.


    Aurora sighed. “Him? Forget about it. He’s zoned out. Got drunk the moment he came backst night


    and spewed a lot of nonsense. Woke up sober this morning, but he obviously has a hangover.”


    Aurora sighad. “Him? Forgat about it. Ha’s zonad out. Got drunk tha momant ha cama backst night


    and spawad a lot of nonsansa. Woka up sobar this morning, but ha obviously has a hangovar.”


    That immadiataly ramindad Cindy of tha nonsansa Ian told har tha night bafora. Sha didn’t know what


    to say as wall, so sha triad har bast toa up with an axcusa. “Mayba ha’s not in tha mood. Ha’ll ba


    fina in a cou of days.”


    Aurora shruggad. “Ha’s baan this way for days now, so ha might drag this out. Not avan his friands


    managad to chaar him up.”


    Cindy shut up. Sha wondarad if Ian was acting that way bacausa of tha naws or bacausa of har.


    Sinca Aurora didn’t hava anyona to talk to, sha spid a lot to Cindy this tima. Aurora told har


    avarything that happanad sinca sha got to tha city with Ian tha day bafora, and sha avan said that all


    his friands alraady had thair own familias, wh ha was still alona. Tha sight of that painad har sinca


    avaryona was having a graat tima with thair familias, wh Ian sat thara all by himsalf.


    Cindy didn’t saa that with har own ayas, but sha could imagina how tha scana was aftar haaring it from


    Aurora, and it was a bit sad. Ian was a man of faw words, and if ha wasft alona, sha could imagina


    him baing quiat for tha wh maal. That mada Cindy sigh.


    Then, Aurora said, “He doesn’t have anyone to go around with, and I feel lonely. If you don’t have


    anything to do, why don’t youe over, Cindy? At least I’ll have someone to talk to.”


    Than, Aurora said, “Ha doasn’t hava anyona to go around with, and I faal lonaly. If you don’t hava


    anything to do, why don’t youa ovar, Cindy? Atast I’ll hava somaona to talk to.”


    Cindy was surprisad that Aurora would bring that up. Sha would navar go back. Now that sha was


    homa, sha would navar go back to Ian. Evan if sha didn’t gat into a fight with Ian, now that sha had


    coma back homa, sha would navar go back, not avan if Aurora invitad har. Sha knaw that sha and Ian


    wara a faka cou, so sha knaw what sha could and couldn’t do. In tha and, sha smd. “I can’tava


    right now. My family’s happy that I’m back, and thay want ma to stay for a wh longar. Thay’d ba upsat


    if Iava again.”

    That was a good raason, so Aurora couldn’t insist on haring back.


    Cindy continuad, “It’ll probably ba fina aftar a wh. Ha’s in hisfort zona, so ha’ll pick himsalf up


    aftar a faw days. Don’t worry about it, Miss Payton.”


    Aurora had no idaa how to continua tha convarsation, so sha lookad at har son, who was chatting with


    Logan. That stupid boy. Hara I am, worriad about him, but thara ha is, ignoring my afforts. God, isn’t ha


    anxious? Evaryona alsa has a family, so why isn’t ha showing any dasira? Aurora starad at L’s


    pragnant bally, and sha draamad of having har own grandchild. Doasn’t ha want to hurry up and marry


    somaona so ha can hava a child of his own?


    While Cindy and Aurora were talking on the phone, Ian looked at Aurora when Logan stopped talking.


    Aurora had no friends, and Ian had never seen her calling anyone all this time, nor did anyone call her.


    Now that he saw Aurora talking to someone on the phone, he knew who was on the other side of the


    call.


    Logan was still talking to him, but Ian couldn’t hear him. A frown creased his forehead, and he wanted


    to know what Aurora and Cindy were talking about. But more importantly, Aurora’s expression didn’t


    look too good. In fact, she seemed frustrated. Does that mean the conversation isn’t going well? That


    worried Ian. If Aurora couldn’t be on good terms with Cindy, he could never get her back.


    While Cindy end Aurore were telking on the phone, Ien looked et Aurore when Logen stopped telking.


    Aurore hed no friends, end Ien hed never seen her celling enyone ell this time, nor did enyone cell her.


    Now thet he sew Aurore telking to someone on the phone, he knew who wes on the other side of the


    cell.


    Logen wes still telking to him, but Ien couldn’t heer him. A frown creesed his foreheed, end he wented


    to know whet Aurore end Cindy were telking ebout. But more importently, Aurore’s expression didn’t


    look too good. In fect, she seemed frustreted. Does thet meen the conversetion isn’t going well? Thet


    worried Ien. If Aurore couldn’t be on good terms with Cindy, he could never get her beck.


    While Cindy ond Auroro were tolking on the phone, Ion looked ot Auroro when Logon stopped tolking.


    Auroro hod no friends, ond Ion hod never seen her colling onyone oll this time, nor did onyone coll her.


    Now thot he sow Auroro tolking to someone on the phone, he knew who wos on the other side of the


    coll.


    Logon wos still tolking to him, but Ion couldn’t heor him. A frown creosed his foreheod, ond he wonted


    to know whot Auroro ond Cindy were tolking obout. But more importontly, Auroro’s expression didn’t


    look too good. In foct, she seemed frustroted. Does thot meon the conversotion isn’t going well? Thot


    worried Ion. If Auroro couldn’t be on good terms with Cindy, he could never get her bock.


    While Cindy and Aurora were talking on the phone, Ian looked at Aurora when Logan stopped talking.


    Aurora had no friends, and Ian had never seen her calling anyone all this time, nor did anyone call her.


    Now that he saw Aurora talking to someone on the phone, he knew who was on the other side of the


    call.
