    Chapter 1710 An Apology From Bryce


    Ian didn’t know that many people and he didn’t have too much interaction with people in the


    entertainment industry.


    Ian didn’t know that many people and he didn’t have too much interaction with people in the


    entertainment industry.


    In the end, Cindy breathed out and slowly shut the door behind her. Then, she went back to bed and


    covered herself with theforter.


    Right now, she felt like a girlfriend who had just discovered that her boyfriend was having an affair and


    she felt slightly upset about it—she was even kind of aggrieved. She wasn’t quite sure of the reason


    but she felt her emotions rise and the tears started to well up in her eyes.


    She sniffled slightly and reckoned that she must have been besotted after their previous interaction,


    which resulted in her bing quite sensitive and easily affected.


    Well, he merely went out of the room to text someone! It’s not a big deal! Besides, if one considered


    the situation carefully, even if there was something going on between Ian and Yulia, it had nothing to do


    with Cindy either.


    Just then, she wrapped theforter around herself tighter before she inched toward the side of the


    bed, leaving more than three-quarters of the bed empty for him.


    Then, she gradually shut her eyes and tried to make herself fall asleep. However, the more she did so,


    the harder she found it to sleep well.


    She tossed and turned in bed but all of her attention was on the entrance to the room.


    Just then, she waited for quite some time and finally, someone twisted the doorknob from the outside


    and walked into the room.


    Cindy maintained her still position and squeezed her eyes shut.


    Meanwhile, there was some residual coolness on Ian’s body so he stood by the bed for a short while


    before hopping into bed.


    He ced his cell phone on the bedside table and yanked hisforter toward him to cover himself


    with it. Subsequently, he turned around to look in Cindy’s direction.


    Just then, he noticed that she was too close to the edge of the bed and he was worried that she would


    fall to the ground, so he reached out and pulled her back toward the center of the bed.


    As for Cindy, she was in fact pretending to be asleep so naturally, she couldn’t struggle out of his arms


    though she was in fact quite resistant about this deep down.


    After Ian had pulled her closer to the center of the bed, he hesitated for a moment but he didn’t


    relinquish his hold on her and kept her in his embrace.


    His current action resulted in Cindy feeling exceptionally aggrieved all of a sudden. How can he do


    that?! He was texting another woman outside right before this but now, he’s back in here and can evenUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    nonchntly take me into his arms! And so, she pursed her lips tightly.


    Subconsciously, Cindy didn’t quite believe that Ian was such a scumbag. However, the things he did


    were in fact pointing toward that direction.


    Earlier on, Ian had made her heart race and her face blush red but right now, all she felt wasplete


    disappointment and she was quite despondent. Meanwhile, Ian was unaware of theplicated


    thoughts that ran wild in Cindy’s mind. At that moment, he seemed to have trouble falling asleep.


    Ian had gone out of the room earlier to text Sean. Sean was busy socializing today and thetter had


    called the former in a slightly drunken state, which was why Ian had left the room with his cell phone to


    avoid disturbing Cindy’s sleep.


    However, Sean had hung up the phone soon after that and they hadn’t even spoken too much.


    Subsequently, Sean had contacted Ian via text message. Perhaps it was because the former found it


    hard to actually say the words he intended to tell thetter.


    Sean mentioned that Bryce had called the former and requested to meet him. The former turned up in


    the evening in anticipation that thetter had something important to announce. However, that wasn’t


    the case.


    Bryce had behaved out of the norm and apologized to Sean. He had mentioned that he felt sorry for the


    way he had treated thetter all these years. However, Bryce wasn’t one to reflect on his own behavior


    and he had always done things ording to his whim all these years. Even when he had made a


    mistake, he always reacted indignantly. However, quite oddly, today, he had suddenly mentioned all


    these and spoke out about all of the injustice and grievances that Sean had suffered at his hands.


    Bryce had also mentioned the shame he felt at maintaining a flirtatious lifestyle outside while Sean’s


    mom was deathly ill. In fact, he had totally disregarded his wife and son during that period of time. In


    the end, he had hoped that Sean could forgive him for his past wrongdoings.


    All this while, Sean had always harbored hatred against Bryce. All these years, though the former


    maintained a subservient front in front of thetter, the former’s hatred toward thetter had not


    diminished at all even as time went by.


    Even up till today, each time Sean shut his eyes, he could still clearly recall his mom’s final moments.


    She was as thin as a rail as shey on her deathbed with tears streaming down her face, but the tears


    that she shed were not because of Bryce’s heartlessness. In fact, it was because she was worried that


    upon her death, he would have a hard time surviving without her protection. All of these years, Sean


    had lived a dutiful life and took each step cautiously to ensure that his mom would be able to rest in


    peace. He had been waiting intently for Bryce to pass away and by then, the shackles on his back


    could perhaps finally be shed off.
