Next One Is a Babe

Since Aurora was unable to find out anything from Cindy as well, she could only sigh in disappointment. Usually, both of them are very chatty, and now they’re equally stubborn. Neither of them is making things easy for me, Aurora thought.

As Cindy hadn’t had breakfast, hunger hit her suddenly after sitting down for a while. Turning to Aurora, she asked, “Have you eaten anything yet?”

Aurora hadn’t eaten as well. This morning, she went to Ian’s place with the thought to share breakfast with him. In the end, she ran into this worrying situation and had been busy until now.

In reply, she shook her head and said, “Have you eaten? Let’s eat together. Just like what you’ve said before, no matter how upsetting a situation is, we still have to eat.”

That’s right, Cindy thought. I did tell her and Ian something like this before, but I forgot all about it when it came to myself.

Hence, they went to the restaurant downstairs, and with someone as company, Cindy thought she could still eat a little even though she didn’t have much appetite.

However, Aurora hadn’t given up on trying to talk her around, and she used the time after ordering the food as the opportunity. With a sigh, she began, “Ian probably still hasn’t eaten anything yet.” But she snorted immediately after. “Well, he deserves it. It’s his fault that he has no appetite because he can’t even tell who he should and shouldn’t offend.”

Of course, she was saying all of these for Cindy, but Cindy had nothing to add to that, so she merely acted as though she hadn’t heard it. Before the food arrived, Aurora’s cell phone beeped a couple of times.



Her cell phone was placed on the table, so when the screen lit up, Cindy could see that it was Ian who had sent her a text. Although she didn’t know what the content was, she could guess that it was similar to the texts from before.

Truth be told, she was a little surprised at Ian’s attitude because the texts he sent to Aurora sounded almost as if he was ready to back down first, which was something Cindy didn’t expect.

Opening the text in front of her, Aurora then burst into a chuckle. “This boy is getting nervous and his imagination is running wild.” She picked up her cell phone and showed it to Cindy. “I haven’t replied to any of his texts, so he’s getting impatient now. Look, he’s asking if I’ve met you and to let him know if I did.” Then, she retracted her hand and lowered her head as she smiled playfully. “I’ll tell him I haven’t met you and see how he’s going to react.”

Her fingers danced across the screen deftly as she typed her reply. Cindy had no idea the exact words she wrote, but she wasn’t interested to find out, either. After sending the text, Aurora placed her phone on the table again.

With a smug smile on her face, Aurora said, “Listen, come to me if you guys argue again. I’ll hide you away and scare him.”

Lowering her gaze, Cindy smiled politely but didn’t say anything.
