Chapter 2116


    Chapter 2116 Do You Think They Had a Fight?


    In other words, Hannah was worried that Aurora might end up causing trouble for herself. After all, she


    and Ian tended to be subjects of controversy and scandal. This was specifically the case for Ian,


    and if anything happened to Aurora, he would inevitably be dragged into it as well.


    Aurora felt for her phone and stared at the man''s number. She had unblocked itst night, but she


    blocked it once more.


    Frankly speaking, she thought her indecisiveness was rather irritating as well, but perhaps boredom


    had gotten the better of her. Now, she was songuid that she didn''t know what to do with herself.


    When she saw the man''s number in the list of her blocked contacts, she sighed in exasperation and


    went back to the homescreen. She curled up on the couch, and at that moment, she felt as if she had


    returned to the days when she had nothing to do and was left to her own devices to pass the time.


    She closed her eyes. Since she was bored out of her mind, she started thinking about all that had


    happened in her past. Have I ever really loved anyone before? She realized that she had, but that


    person was now buried six feet under; all the sentiments, good or bad, had turned into dust and ashes


    alongside him.


    She hadn''t loved anyone since, and those who came and went only managed to alleviate her


    loneliness for brief seasons at a time. The world seemed toorge for her to spend the rest of her life


    alone; she liked the idea ofpanionship, but those who came and offered to stay never kept their


    word about forever.


    They left her for a plethora of reasons, and while some of them were valid, most of them were not. She


    could be happy or reluctant to let them go, but she could never stop the end froming. If she had to


    be honest, the past seven or eight rtionships of her adult life had scarred her. Only one or two of


    them had actually ended in a clean, amicable break.


    The rest ended so sourly that she found herself left with tatters of the rtionship. She didn''t want


    things to end on such an ugly note, but every man she had been with said she was a hard act to follow.


    They even said that she was exhausting to be with because she wanted to win all the time.


    At the thought of this, she let out a bitterugh. She didn''t have a choice but to be assertive and


    aggressive because she needed to protect herself. No man could ever give her the sense of security


    she needed, so she made herself stronger and put her guard up just to keep herself safe.


    She didn''t have to be that way had the right mane along and promised her the security she so


    desperately craved. On the contrary, she would have given him her feelings on a silver tter.


    After all, any woman would want to have someone they could depend on. Any woman would love to


    have her guard down and allow a man to take charge of the bigger things in life so that she could


    indulge in the romance of a rtionship instead of fighting for it all the time.


    Yet, none of the men she had met so far could give her that privilege, so she put up a strong and


    unwavering front that made here off as disagreeable at times, but it wasn''t as if she had a choice.


    She flipped on her side and faced the back of the couch. A whileter, hot tears pricked her eyes, and


    she thought they might spill over. She couldn''t remember thest time she had been so sad and


    wallowed in self-pity. She was so used to being strong that she forced herself to pull through hardship


    on instinct, but it was only in moments like this that she realized just how tired she was.


    Meanwhile, over at the set, Ian had only just finished filming a couple of scenes. Now that he was


    taking a break, he sat 0 one of the chairs to the side and took a sip of water.


    The driver leaned over and asked in hushed tones, "Hey, what''s going on today? You guys had a lot of


    takes for the same scene, right?"


    Ian shrugged and said nothing. The director had yelled cut several times throughout filming, and often


    they had to do another take of the same scene. It wasn''t so much Ian''s problem, for Valerie was being


    rather absentminded today.


    He set his water bottle down and leaned into his seat. The driver looked around and jerked his chin in a


    certain direction not too far from where they were sitting. "Hey, look over there," he said.


    Ian followed his line of vision and looked over to where Valerie usually was during breaks. She sat in


    her chair, and she looked drained as her assistant dabbed the sweat off her forehead and gave her


    bottled water. The assistant appeared to be talking to her, but she did not respond at all.


    After a few seconds, the director made his way over to her.


    Valerie was usually professional on set and she delivered her lines well. Something was bugging her


    today, so much so that even the director had noticed something was off about her.


    Ian and the driver couldn''t hear what the director was saying to her, but they could tell that he was


    cating her. She slumped in her seat with her head low, though she did nod every once in a while to


    show that she was listening.


    The driver''s eyes seemed to light up at the prospect of gossip. "Hey, do you think she and that little
