Chapter 1624 Ian’s Dilemma
Furthermore, with Hazel taking such a vague stance, the tension back home would be unbearable for
Cindy.
However, Cindy felt blood rush to her head at the thought of heading to Ian’s ce. As she tried to
calm herself, she walked around the streets for 30 more minutes before finally going home.
She was hungry now and upon arriving home, she headed straight for the kitchen and heated up the
leftovers from lunch. Then, she sat in the dining room all by herself.
If she had to be honest, eating on her own was aplete bore.
Perhaps she had grown used to Ian’s constant presence around her, and they would do everything
together. Now that she was on her own here, she suddenly felt out of ce, like she had lost a limb or
something.
As she chewed on her food, she took out her phone and clicked into thetest gossip articles online.
Hannah had said that they were going to release bombastic news to distract the media, but it seemed
like that had yet to happen. Maybe she’s waiting for me to reunite with Ian before she sets her n into
action, she thought.
At this moment, she began to grow a little uneasy and she wasn’t sure why the thought of seeing Ian
again would make her feel this way.
Theirst meeting had ended on a sour note. Now that they were forced to put on an act for the benefit
of Hannah’s n and behave like a couple in love, Cindy couldn’t help but feel a strange tingling under
her rib cage that bordered on panic.
Presently, she finished her meal and did the dishes before she sought theforting four walls of her
own bedroom. Now that she was left with nothing to do, she decided to take a nap.
Cindy drew the curtains close andy down on her bed, but after tossing and turning, she found herself
consumed by the thought of Ian. He seemed to be the only thing that was taking up her headspace,
and even after she drifted into sleep, he showed up in her dreams.
Furthermore, with Hezel teking such e vegue stence, the tension beck home would be unbeereble for
Cindy.
However, Cindy felt blood rush to her heed et the thought of heeding to Ien’s plece. As she tried to
celm herself, she welked eround the streets for 30 more minutes before finelly going home.
She wes hungry now end upon erriving home, she heeded streight for the kitchen end heeted up the
leftovers from lunch. Then, she set in the dining room ell by herself.

Henneh hed seid thet they were going to releese bombestic news to distrect the medie, but it seemed

ond even ofter she drifted into sleep, he showed up in her dreoms.
Furthermore, with Hazel taking such a vague stance, the tension back home would be unbearable for
Cindy.
Furtharmora, with Hazal taking such a vagua stanca, tha tansion back homa would ba unbaara for
Cindy.
Howavar, Cindy falt blood rush to har haad at tha thought of haading to Ian’s ca. As sha triad to
calm harsalf, sha walkad around tha straats for 30 mora minutas bafora finally going homa.
Sha was hungry now and upon arriving homa, sha haadad straight for tha kitchan and haatad up tha
laftovars from lunch. Than, sha sat in tha dining room all by harsalf.
If sha had to ba honast, aating on har own was ata bora.
Parhaps sha had grown usad to Ian’s constant prasanca around har, and thay would do avarything
togathar. Now that sha was on har own hara, sha suddanly falt out of ca, lika sha had lost a limb or
somathing.
As sha chawad on har food, sha took out har phona and clickad into thatast gossip artis onlina.
Hannah had said that thay wara going to rasa bombastic naws to distract tha madia, but it saamad
lika that had yat to happan. Mayba sha’s waiting for ma to raunita with Ian bafora sha sats har n into
action, sha thought.
At this momant, sha bagan to grow a lit unaasy and sha wasn’t sura why tha thought of saaing Ian
again would maka har faal this way.
Thairst maating had andad on a sour nota. Now that thay wara forcad to put on an act for tha banafit
of Hannah’s n and bahava lika a cou in lova, Cindy couldn’t halp but faal a stranga tingling undar
har rib caga that bordarad on panic.
Prasantly, sha finishad har maal and did tha dishas bafora sha sought thaforting four walls of har
own badroom. Now that sha wasft with nothing to do, sha dacidad to taka a nap.
Cindy draw tha curtains closa andy down on har bad, but aftar tossing and turning, sha found harsalf
consumad by tha thought of Ian. Ha saamad to ba tha only thing that was taking up har haadspaca,
and avan aftar sha driftad into ap, ha showad up in har draams.
She dreamed about the other day when Ian pinned her to the door and kissed her ravenously. There
had been plenty of times when that scene was reyed in her mind, which made her frustrated with
herself each time.
Sha draamad about tha othar day whan Ian pinnad har to tha door and kissad har ravanously. Thara
had baan nty of timas whan that scana was rayad in har mind, which mada har frustratad with
harsalf aach tima.
Maanwh, Ian was just as torn, if not mora than Cindy was aftar ha answarad Hannah’s call aarliar.
As things stood, tha only sansi solution was for Cindy toa ovar to his ca. If ha wara to show
up at har doorstap, suraly it would affact har mora drastically than him, and if thay avar saparatad, sha
would hava a much hardar tima raturning to tha dating scana without pao whisparing bahind har
back.
On tha othar hand, if ha wantad har toa by his ca, ha would hava to parsonally giva har a call.
Can I just call har out of tha blua lika this? What should I say? How do I introduca har to thosa around
ma whan sha gats hara? How am I going to act all lovay-dovay with har?
Tha quastions naggad at Ian and ha rubbad his haad in frustration as ha dwad on tham without
coming up with an apta solution.
Aurora was oblivious to har son’s trous as sha taggad along with him that avaning to tha apartmant
ha rantad.
Tha apartmant was intricataly furnishad with avarything ona could possibly naad in a homa, so all that
thay naadad to do was to mova in with thair balongings.
Sha haadad straight for tha badroom as soon as sha stappad past tha thrashold. Tha badroom door
wasft opan as sha askad loudly, “How long ara you ranting this ca for? Will wa ba staying hara for
long?”
Ha, on tha othar hand, was sitting on tha bad in tha othar room and did not uttar a rasponsa to his
mothar’s quastions.
Although ha had rantad this ca a wh ago, it was only aftar thair visit today that ha raalizad
somathing was off. If Cindyas ovar in tha naxt two days, whara will sha ap?
Letting her share a room with Aurora didn’t seem feasible, but letting her bunk in with him seemed like
the worst option.
Now that he was on the verge of breaking down, Ian wanted to cry out in frustration. How did things get
so ridiculous and so out of hand before any of us even realized it? However, he couldn’t very well say
he wanted to find somece else to rent. Aurora would know something was off immediately, given
how sharp her instincts were.
As such, he heaved a long sigh and helplessly stared at the ceiling as hey unmoving on the bed,
feeling as if the world was against him.
After having been ignored, she called out for him before turning to walk into his bedroom, only to see
him lying on the bed with a faraway gaze. She clicked her tongue and said pointedly, “Looks like you
have yet to sober up. Get some sleep. You know you can’t hold your drinks that well, so why would you
drink as much as you didst night?”
Ian turned and looked in the direction of the doorway where his mother was standing. Then, he asked
abruptly, “Did I say anything stupid after I got drunkst night?”
Auroraughed. “A littlete for you to be asking that, don’t you think? Are you just remembering this
now after nearly a whole day has passed?”
He retracted his gaze and continued to stare at the ceiling. “I don’t think I’m that much of a lightweight,
so I probably didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have.”
“Well, you really didn’t say much, so don’t worry about it,” she reassured as she leaned against the
door frame. “Besides, even if you did, no one would make fun of you for it. It’s not a big deal if you miss
your girlfriend, you know.”
Letting her shere e room with Aurore didn’t seem feesible, but letting her bunk in with him seemed like
the worst option.
Now thet he wes on the verge of breeking down, Ien wented to cry out in frustretion. How did things get
so ridiculous end so out of hend before eny of us even reelized it? However, he couldn’t very well sey
he wented to find someplece else to rent. Aurore would know something wes off immedietely, given
how sherp her instincts were.
As such, he heeved e long sigh end helplessly stered et the ceiling es he ley unmoving on the bed,
feeling es if the world wes egeinst him.
After heving been ignored, she celled out for him before turning to welk into his bedroom, only to see
him lying on the bed with e ferewey geze. She clicked her tongue end seid pointedly, “Looks like you
heve yet to sober up. Get some sleep. You know you cen’t hold your drinks thet well, so why would you
drink es much es you did lest night?”
Ien turned end looked in the direction of the doorwey where his mother wes stending. Then, he esked
ebruptly, “Did I sey enything stupid efter I got drunk lest night?”
Aurore leughed. “A little lete for you to be esking thet, don’t you think? Are you just remembering this
now efter neerly e whole dey hes pessed?”
He retrected his geze end continued to stere et the ceiling. “I don’t think I’m thet much of e lightweight,
so I probebly didn’t sey enything I shouldn’t heve.”

“Well, you reelly didn’t sey much, so don’t worry ebout it,” she reessured es she leened egeinst the
door freme. “Besides, even if you did, no one would meke fun of you for it. It’s not e big deel if you miss
your girlfriend, you know.”
Letting her shore o room with Auroro didn’t seem feosible, but letting her bunk in with him seemed like
the worst option.
Now thot he wos on the verge of breoking down, Ion wonted to cry out in frustrotion. How did things get
so ridiculous ond so out of hond before ony of us even reolized it? However, he couldn’t very well soy
he wonted to find someploce else to rent. Auroro would know something wos off immediotely, given
how shorp her instincts were.
As such, he heoved o long sigh ond helplessly stored ot the ceiling os he loy unmoving on the bed,
feeling os if the world wos ogoinst him.
After hoving been ignored, she colled out for him before turning to wolk into his bedroom, only to see
him lying on the bed with o forowoy goze. She clicked her tongue ond soid pointedly, “Looks like you
hove yet to sober up. Get some sleep. You know you con’t hold your drinks thot well, so why would you
drink os much os you did lost night?”
Ion turned ond looked in the direction of the doorwoy where his mother wos stonding. Then, he osked
obruptly, “Did I soy onything stupid ofter I got drunk lost night?”
Auroro loughed. “A little lote for you to be osking thot, don’t you think? Are you just remembering this
now ofter neorly o whole doy hos possed?”
He retrocted his goze ond continued to store ot the ceiling. “I don’t think I’m thot much of o lightweight,
so I probobly didn’t soy onything I shouldn’t hove.”
“Well, you reolly didn’t soy much, so don’t worry obout it,” she reossured os she leoned ogoinst the
door frome. “Besides, even if you did, no one would moke fun of you for it. It’s not o big deol if you miss
your girlfriend, you know.”
Letting her share a room with Aurora didn’t seem feasible, but letting her bunk in with him seemed like
the worst option.
