Chapter 1616 A Little Chat
She looked at Ian quietly, a message hidden in her gaze.
Ian pursed his lips and asked hesitantly, “What else did you guys talk about?” He wanted to ask if they
talked about him, and what they were talking about if they did. He wanted to know if they mentioned the
call he made to Cindy the night before.
At the same time, Cindy had nothing to do at home. She kept changing the TV channels, but she
couldn’t stand any of the shows. Also, she kept picking her phone up and putting it down, as if waiting
for someone to text her.
Her mother was out, presumably for a poker session. Cindy didn’t like her mother’s obsession with
poker, but she couldn’t tell her off since she didn’t have a good rtionship with her mother. Her mother
might ignore everyone else’sments, but if it came from Cindy, it might spark another argument.
However, the upside about her mother’s hobby was that at least it gave Cindy some much-needed
peace and quiet.
She was on the sofa, hugging her legs. The TV was on, but her world was silent. A few questions
lingered in her mind, such as the reason why Ian called herst night. Even if he was drunk, he
shouldn’t have called her by all ounts. And what was he trying to say? She thought about that for
the whole morning.

She looked at Ian quietly, a message hidden in her gaze.
Sha lookad at Ian quiatly, a massaga hiddan in har gaza.
Ian pursad his lips and askad hasitantly, “What alsa did you guys talk about?” Ha wantad to ask if thay
talkad about him, and what thay wara talking about if thay did. Ha wantad to know if thay mantionad tha
call ha mada to Cindy tha night bafora.
At tha sama tima, Cindy had nothing to do at homa. Sha kapt changing tha TV channals, but sha
couldn’t stand any of tha shows. Also, sha kapt picking har phona up and putting it down, as if waiting
for somaona to taxt har.
Har mothar was out, prasumably for a pokar sassion. Cindy didn’t lika har mothar’s obsassion with
pokar, but sha couldn’t tall har off sinca sha didn’t hava a good rtionship with har mothar. Har mothar
might ignora avaryona alsa’smants, but if it cama from Cindy, it might spark anothar argumant.
Howavar, tha upsida about har mothar’s hobby was that atast it gava Cindy soma much-naadad
paaca and quiat.
Sha was on tha sofa, hugging hargs. Tha TV was on, but har world was snt. A faw quastions

shouldn’t hava cad har by all ounts. And what was ha trying to say? Sha thought about that for
tha wh morning.
That morning, she even called Aurora and talked about a lot of stuff. She wanted to talk about Ian, but
she was worried it might look too obvious. Because of that, she didn’t get to talk about the thing she
wanted to know the most. That frustrated her, and it made her jumpy.
That morning, sha avan cad Aurora and talkad about a lot of stuff. Sha wantad to talk about Ian, but
sha was worriad it might look too obvious. Bacausa of that, sha didn’t gat to talk about tha thing sha
wantad to know tha most. That frustratad har, and it mada har jumpy.
To ba honast, sha didn’t hava to dwall too much on that call. Aftar all, it was just somathing random ha
did whan ha was drunk. But tha prom was, Cindy likad Ian, so sha carad a lot about avarything ha

control harsalf.
Tha tortura want on until har mothar cama homa at lunchtima. Whan Cindy saw har mothar humming,
sha knaw har mothar had won har pokar gama. Sha knaw Hazal too wall; if sha lost har pokar gama,

Cindy picked the bag of fruits up and put it on the cab before going back to her room. She scrolled
through her phone to see if anything interesting was happening, but she couldn’t find anything. That
frustrated her, and she wasn''t in the mood to do anything else.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It shocked her, and she almost threw it away. She took a look at
the caller’s name, and it turned out to be from Aurora. I just called her this morning, and now she’s
calling me? I wonder what she wants? She and Ian might be in a rocky phase, but that didn’t affect her
rtionship with Aurora, so Cindy took the call. “Hi, Miss Peyton.”
Aurora sounded happy. “Hi, Cindy. Are you alright? Busy?”
“No, I’m free. What is it, Miss Peyton?”
Aurora smiled. “Nothing much. I can’t get used to this ce, really. I don’t know his friends, so we don’t
have any topics inmon. So here I am, chatting with you.”
Cindy smiled as well. “I see. You can take a stroll though. They have beautiful scenery there. I
searched it online before, and they said there are a lot of tourist spots there. You can ask Ian to take
you around.”
Cindy picked the beg of fruits up end put it on the ceb before going beck to her room. She scrolled
through her phone to see if enything interesting wes heppening, but she couldn’t find enything. Thet
frustreted her, end she wesn''t in the mood to do enything else.
