Chapter 1679


    Chapter 1679 Losing Control


    If Ian were being honest, he had no idea how to act in front of Cindy. He simply didn’t wish for him or


    Cindy to sleep on the ground, nor did he want either of them to sleep on the couch outside. That left


    them with one solution.


    Cindy was genuinely exhausted from ying badminton earlier. Although it wasn’t an intense sport, she


    had never lived an active lifestyle, so she was worn out by the end of the day. After some hesitation,


    she finally went over to sit on the other end of the bed with her head hung low. As she listened to the


    sound of Ian’s gameing from his phone, she felt a little more at ease.


    When Cindy took her phone and checked her notifications, she didn’t see any messages from Peter. I


    don’t think he’ll ever ask me to y badminton with him again. That’s good. I’ve always been bad at


    socializing with people, so I’d get frustrated if I had to spend more time with those people. Moreover,


    that girl will feel troubled if I’m around all the time. I don’t think there’s a need for that.


    After that, Cindy scrolled through some of thetest celebrity gossip on the news site. There were only


    a few people who were still bringing up Ian’s news, and most of them were Inte trolls who


    repeatedly dug up past scandals and rumors that were rted to Ian. Not many people were paying


    much attention to Ian’s news, so Cindy was relieved. Soon, she could no longer keep her eyes open,


    so shey down in bed and pulled the sheets over her. She faced her back against Ian as she shut her


    eyes and tried to sleep.


    There were two separate nkets on the bed, and Cindy figured that Ian had prepared the second one


    for her. She drifted off to sleep almost immediately after her head hit the pillow, but she couldn’t seem


    to go into a deep sleep. Every now and then, she would wake up for a short while, and she immediately


    noticed when Ian stopped gaming on his phone.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Although she was awake, she kept her body still and her eyes shut. Ian had decided not to y


    another game, so he turned his phone off andy down with the other nket over his body. He turned


    the lights off, and darkness filled the space between them. Both of them slept with their backs facing


    each other, and neither of them made any noise at all.


    Cindy licked her lips and realized that her mouth felt rather dry. She couldn’t seem to stop reying the


    scene from this morning. Ian had been lying beside her as well—their position now wasn’t much


    different from the position they were in. With her eyes closed, Cindy continued to entertain her thoughts


    for nearly 30 minutes before her sleepiness took over and sent her into a deep sleep.


    On the other hand, Ian remained awake on his side of the bed. He only turned around when he heard


    Cindy’s breath slowing down. Cindy’s back was facing him, so all he could see was a figure under the


    nket in the dark. Ian sighed. Why is this girl so hard to deal with? Most of the girls usually scream


    and shout when they see me. Why doesn’t she show the same interest toward me?


    Ian’s thoughts left him feeling sorry for himself, and that sent him into a bad mood. Whenever he was in


    a bad mood, he would lose control of his actions. Before he knew what he was doing, he had already


    lifted his arm up, reached over, and rested his arm on Cindy’s shoulder. Although both of them were


    sleeping on opposite edges of the bed, the bed wasn’t huge, and he could reach her just by stretching


    his hand out.


    Only then did he realize what he was doing. He was utterly shocked by his own actions, and he


    immediately tensed. Fortunately, Cindy was still fast asleep and hadn’t realized anything.


    In an attempt topensate for his actions, Ian quietly tugged Cindy’s nket up to make sure that


    she wouldn’t get cold in the middle of the night. After that, he rolled over and faced his back against


    Cindy before letting out a long sigh.


    Cindy had actually been asleep the whole time—she had used too much of her brain juice earlier today,


    so she slept like a dead log throughout the night. Ian took some time to calm himself down before he


    shut his eyes and told himself to sleep. Although he didn’t have work the next day, he would still have


    to see Cindy and Aurora the next morning, so he couldn’t let his guard down. Both these women are so


    hard to deal with, he grumbled in his heart.


    Throughout the night, Cindy had an extremely long dream that she couldn’t seem to escape from.
