Chapter 1872


    Chapter 1872 First Proper Date


    Because they were staying in the same city, Leah, being the most determined resentful shrew there


    ever was, would most definitely try to get something out of Sean for her own benefit.


    Even if Sean and Leah shared no rtion at all, he and Simon were still step-brothers by blood, thanks


    to Bryce.


    It seemed as if there was no way Sean could escape their incessant badgering. At the thought of this,


    Ian felt a twinge of sympathy for him, and he wondered what great sin Sean hadmitted in his past


    life to cross paths with Leah and her spawn in this one.


    Presently, Sean and Ian chatted idly for a while before they each hung up the call, with the former


    iming that he had stuff to attend to on his end.


    Ian set his phone aside and heaved a sigh. “I used to really envy Sean because the old man favored


    him. He had everyone’s respect, and Leah and her children dared not get on his bad side.” Having said


    this, he clicked his tongue and shook his head ruefully. “But now I’m starting to see how things aren’t


    always smooth sailing for him, and he’s pretty much caught between a rock and a hard ce.”


    Cindy hummed thoughtfully at this. “Everyone sees only the glory and mor, but the real hardship is


    something only known to the person going through it.”


    It was still early, and they had nothing much to do. After a moment of hesitation, Ian decided to bring


    Cindy out for a stroll.


    They were both homebodies, terminally so, and Ian had never once brought her on a trip or anywhere

    fun since before they started this rtionship.


    In actuality, they had plenty of free time on their hands, but theirziness kept them indoors for a better


    part of the day.


    When Ian suggested that they go out for a walk, Cindy did not protest. She had never been on a proper


    date with him, and the thought of it was somewhat exciting.


    They changed into clothes that would not draw too much attention to themselves and headed out.


    Ian didn’t have a car of his own, so they hailed taxis wherever they went, though that didn’t


    inconvenience them in the slightest; they could easily g a passing taxi by putting up their arms on the


    roadside.


    As such, they managed to g a taxi, and Ian informed the driver of their destination, which happened


    to be a newly opened amusement park in the area. To be urate, the park had only just opened up


    not a week ago.


    Underneath her mask, Cindy’s lips curled into a bemused smile. This would be the first time in her


    entire life that she stepped foot into an amusement park, and she couldn’t believe that her first proper


    date with Ian would be at somece so childish.


    However, she figured that Ian was at a loss for ideas as well, hence the amusement park.


    To be fair to him, they were both equally inexperienced in the realm of rtionships, and it would take a


    lot of fine-tuning for them to limate to one another as boyfriend and girlfriend.


    It took about half an hour for them to reach the amusement park, and along the way, Cindy leaned


    against his arm, her body nting in the backseat.


    She rested her head on Ian’s shoulder and thought about what Yulia had looked like earlier today. That


    woman has like a thousand faces; we were all so used to seeing her as a snobby intellect, but she just


    had to show up today like a cool and suave woman who knew how to get her way. s, whatever Yulia


    looked like, Cindy still felt like she was inferior to her.


    The feeling left a bitter taste in Cindy’s mouth, and when Yulia had called Ian on the phone earlier,


    Cindy could still hear how much she still pined after him, even though their conversation had been a


    short one.


    Having a rival as superior and determined as Yulia was unsettling, and the warning sirens were


    constantly sounding off in Cindy’s heart as she dwelled on this.


    As of now, the taxi driver did not recognize Ian and Cindy at all, and merely presumed they were an


    ordinary couple in love.


    Cindy let the silence drag on for a bit before turning to rest her chin on Ian’s shoulder, then nced up


    at him as she said quietly, “If you’re going to start filming on set, then do you promise to text and call


    me every day?”


    He chuckled and turned to meet her gaze. Their heads were close, and even with their masks on, they


    looked like they were to kiss. He lowered his voice and replied, “Let’s just see how it goes. If the set


    isn’t too far away from home, then I’ll skip out on the hotel ande back every day. I don’t think I’ll


    like the hotels anyway.”


    Sheughed and said nothing to this. Ian used to stay in tons of hotels because he had to go around


    filming scenes at various ces, and for him to turn around now and say that he didn’t like staying at


    hotels was an amusing twist indeed.


    Theyughed and chatted along the way to the amusement park, and it was only when the car rolled to


    a stop outside their destination that they stepped out of the vehicle.
