Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1617

Aurora sighed. “Him? Forget about it. He’s zoned out. Got drunk the moment he came back last night and spewed a lot of nonsense. Woke up sober this morning, but he obviously has a hangover.”

That immediately reminded Cindy of the nonsense Ian told her the night before. She didn’t know what to say as well, so she tried her best to come up with an excuse. “Maybe he’s not in the mood. He’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

Aurora shrugged. “He’s been this way for days now, so he might drag this out. Not even his friends managed to cheer him up.”

Cindy shut up. She wondered if Ian was acting that way because of the news or because of her.


Since Aurora didn’t have anyone to talk to, she spilled a lot to Cindy this time. Aurora told her everything that happened since she got to the city with Ian the day before, and she even said that all his friends already had their own families, while he was still alone. The sight of that pained her since everyone was having a great time with their families, while Ian sat there all by himself.

Cindy didn’t see that with her own eyes, but she could imagine how the scene was after hearing it from Aurora, and it was a bit sad. Ian was a man of few words, and if he was left alone, she could imagine him being quiet for the whole meal. That made Cindy sigh.

Then, Aurora said, “He doesn’t have anyone to go around with, and I feel lonely. If you don’t have anything to do, why don’t you come over, Cindy? At least I’ll have someone to talk to.”

Cindy was surprised that Aurora would bring that up. She would never go back. Now that she was home, she would never go back to Ian. Even if she didn’t get into a fight with Ian, now that she had come back home, she would never go back, not even if Aurora invited her. She knew that she and Ian were a fake couple, so she knew what she could and couldn’t do. In the end, she smiled. “I can’t leave right now. My family’s happy that I’m back, and they want me to stay for a while longer. They’d be upset if I leave again.”

That was a good reason, so Aurora couldn’t insist on her coming back.
