Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1420


Ever since she was young, her mother had begun telling her that she had to be responsible for Keith’s life, including paying for his tuition fees, his house, his car, and even for his wedding. Therefore, she knew early on what it meant to carry the responsibilities of a parent. Her mother’s indifferent attitude toward her left her feeling defeated. For as long as she could remember, her mother never cared for her, as all conversations between them would eventually lead to money.

While in university, she was told to save up. After she got a job, she was still told to save up so she could send the rest of the money home. Eventually, it got to the point where she didn’t even need to ask to know why her mother called her.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t angry at all, or else she wouldn’t be as impatient and resentful whenever her mother called. However, she knew she had to hand the money over no matter how angry she was. Therefore, in her dream, she handed the two hundred thousand over without feeling sorry at all. She knew she wouldn’t be able to keep it anyway.

Also, she dreamed that her mother asked her about her relationship with Ian. Her mother liked to nag, so Cindy was afraid that she might be chased out of the house if she told her mother the truth, so she lied. She told her mother that Ian was his real boyfriend, and they shared an intimate relationship with each other. Although she was unsure if her mother was happy about it, Cindy felt uneasy after telling her that.

The muddled dream lasted till morning when her alarm rang, after which she got up. She washed up before making breakfast, whereas Ian came out of his room when breakfast was almost ready. Perhaps what happened the previous morning scared Ian, so he was fully dressed when he came out. Casting him a glance, she said, “Breakfast will soon be ready.”

He let out a grunt before dashing into the bathroom, which gave Cindy the impression that he was fleeing from her. In the meantime, she made some pancakes, congee, as well as a few other dishes. She got everything onto the table just in time to see Ian coming out from the bathroom all freshened up.


Examining the food on the table, he suggested, “It’s a hassle to cook everyday. We can always eat out if you don’t have time to cook.”

However, Cindy only gave him a smile. “It’s alright. It doesn’t take that long.” More importantly, Cindy liked eating her own cooking.

After laying eyes on the food on the table, Ian said, “If you’re going to cook everyday, I will pay you for that. Currently, you are only paid for working as my assistant, but if you’re going to handle our meals as well as doing chores, you should be paid for doing them.”

As soon as she heard she would be paid, Cindy’s eyes lit up, and she agreed to his suggestion almost immediately. “Sure!”

Relief washed over Ian, as he knew monetary compensation could make things a lot easier. The feelings that left him feeling constricted ever since the previous night dissipated as soon as she agreed to their new arrangement. Sitting down by the table, Ian filled up his plate. Now that he knew for sure that he earned everything using his own wealth, he no longer felt uneasy about it.
