    Chapter 1666 An Uninvited Guest


    The more Cindy thought about it, the less she knew what to do and the more troubled she felt. After


    sitting on her bed for a while, she realized that it was silent outside. She waited for a bit more before


    she carefully made her way to the door. She pressed her ear against the door and listened to make


    sure that it was quiet before she opened the door to peek outside.


    Both Aurora and Ian weren’t in the living room, and the television had been turned off. Cindy froze for a


    moment. Why didn’t they let me know if they had gone out? She walked out of her room and nced at


    the living room before turning to look in the direction of Aurora’s room. The door was open, and it was


    clear that no one was inside. In other words, both Aurora and Ian had indeed left the house together.


    That’s good, I guess. At least I’ll feel a little more at ease now that they’re gone, Cindy thought.


    She walked over to the balcony and looked down, but Ian and Aurora were nowhere to be seen. After


    pouting for a while, she returned to the couch. She had felt frustrated, uneasy, and awkward when Ian


    was around, but for some reason, she felt empty on the inside when she found out that Ian had left.


    I feel uneasy when he’s around, yet I feel worse when I don’t see him. Cindy had felt rather frustrated


    at first, but at this point, she felt like she was about to lose her mind. She was aware that she had


    developed feelings for Ian. After her previous argument with Ian, she had assumed that her feelings


    would gradually disappear once they grew distant from one another. However, as she examined her


    feelings right then, she realized that she had been too na?ve all along. I didn’t just fail to lose feelings


    for Ian; I might have fallen even deeper for him.


    Ian and Aurora had headed downstairs to meet Sean. Sean had to meet a client earlier that day, and


    he happened to pass by Ian’s housing area on his way back to thepany. Although he had his


    guard up with Ian, he didn’t have any bad intentions toward Ian. He wanted to meet Ian to talk about


    their ns to visit Bryce.


    Although Sean hadn’t asked about Aurora when he called Ian, Aurora wanted to go along to meet


    Sean. Sean parked his car at the side of the road near Ian’s housing area, and he made his way to a


    café nearby. He had just taken a sip of his drink after ordering a pot of tea when he looked up to see


    Ian and Aurora walking in together. When Sean first saw Aurora, he froze for a short while. He didn’t


    have anything against Aurora. It was true that Aurora and Bryce had an extramarital affair that neither


    of them was proud of, but Bryce had already been a disloyal husband even before that. He had fooled


    around with tons of women. Aurora wasn’t the first or thest—she was merely one of his many


    women.


    Sean had spent most of his time in the hospital with Alice when she was extremely ill. Back then, most


    of Bryce’s women had assumed that they had the chance to overtake Alice’s position in the family, and


    some of them had even sneaked into the hospital to cause a fuss. However, Bryce had gotten rid of


    most of those women ever since. Sean couldn’t recall the women who had visited the hospital back


    then, but he was certain that Aurora hadn’t been one of them. He wasn’t especially fond of Aurora, but


    he didn’t hate her since he knew that she hadn’t visited the hospital at that time.

    When Ian saw Sean in the café, he led Aurora over to Sean’s table. Sean narrowed his eyes and


    stared at Aurora for a few seconds. Thest time I saw this woman, she had gotten into an argument


    with Bryce, and she sent Ian over to Morgan Residence. She left Ian there without any hesitation. From


    what I remember, she wore a grim expression that made her look threatening. I recall thinking that she


    was pretty charismatic. Yet, time seems to have left its mark on her—she no longer looks like the fiery


    woman I once knew. It seems like she has been through quite a lot of hardships since then. She looks


    gentler and kinder now—perhaps she’s changed after going through the mill.


    Aurora felt a pang of guilt when she saw Sean. She gave him a smile. “I hope you don’t mind me


    inviting myself over.”


    “Please take a seat.” Sean nodded.


    Once Ian and Aurora sat down, Sean called for the waiter. They ordered some desserts. If it had just


    been the two men at the café, a pot of tea would have sufficed. However, Sean felt like he had to order


    something else since a woman was around.
