Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1602

Aurora agreed with Cindy’s point. “I told Ian about it, but he just told me not to worry. He said that things would be more interesting if a twist happened at the end, but I have no idea what he meant by that. I don’t know if he actually has evidence that will turn the tables or if he was just trying to make me feel better.”

Ian said the same thing in the past. He said that it was sometimes better to only reveal the evidence at the very end because it would come as an unexpected smack to the other party’s face. But the tables did end up turning the last time he said those words… How confident is he this time? “Let’s hope that he actually has evidence,” she mumbled.

Aurora didn’t want to talk about the news on the Internet as it only made her feel more frustrated. She changed the topic to ask about Cindy and whether anyone at home was causing her any trouble. At that moment, Cindy realized how her mother hadn’t mentioned Ian’s name ever since Cindy got home. Perhaps she doesn’t know how to broach the subject, Cindy thought. Their mother-daughter relationship was more polite than the relationship between two strangers.

Naturally, Cindy responded to Aurora’s question with a firm ‘no’. “Everything’s fine at home,” Cindy added.

“How long are you planning to stay there? When are you coming back?” Aurora asked.

Cindy struggled to answer Aurora’s question. She hadn’t made any plans ever since she arrived home, and she didn’t know how long she was going to stay there. Ultimately, it would all depend on how quickly Ian’s matters could be settled. If he got it done quickly, then she would head back earlier to hand over her work. If he needed more time, then she would stay at home for a while longer.

Cindy hadn’t told Aurora about her resignation, and she felt that it wasn’t right to tell Aurora through the call. “I’m not sure how long I’ll be staying here. My mom misses me, so I might stay home a few more days if there isn’t much to do at the company.” Cindy came up with an excuse instead.

Aurora nodded on the other end of the line. “That’s good. You haven’t been home in a while. You should spend more time with them.” They were both speechless for a moment after that, and Aurora finally spoke up after a few seconds of silence. “Ian told me that he’ll be traveling these two days. I’m not sure if he told you about it, but I heard that he put all his jobs on hold. I think he wants a break.”

Ian hadn’t told Cindy anything about this. “Oh. I guess it would be good for him to take a break. Everyone’s probably stressed out because of all the things going on. It’s wise,” she commented.

“I’m not sure what you guys talked about that day. He seemed really down when he was back. I don’t think the media reports and articles affected him that much—it seemed like he was more impacted by the fight you guys had,” Aurora said.
