There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Who was Bryce to comment on the women he dated, after all? Bryce was a complete mess when it came to his love life. Anyone would agree that he was a jerk, and he had no right to comment on another person’s romantic partner.
Sean gave Ian’s words some thought. “I don’t think so. Perhaps he just wanted to take a look at the type of women you fancied.” Sean paused for a while before he continued, “Maybe you could bring her along when you visit Dad. I’m not telling you to do your job as a son—I just figured that it would look good in the public’s eyes if you bring your girlfriend to the hospital, especially when there are so many bad articles about you out there.”
Ian didn’t protest upon hearing Sean’s words and simply responded with an ambiguous answer. “I’ll see how it goes. I need to talk to her about it first.”
Sean nodded before he dropped the topic. All three of them didn’t have many plans that day, so they were in no rush to leave. The atmosphere was pleasant as they sipped on their tea and nibbled on their desserts.
Meanwhile, Cindy got impatient as she waited for Aurora and Ian to get home. After waiting for what felt like a century, she glanced at the time and got herself changed before she headed downstairs. She didn’t go out to look for Aurora and Ian, but took a trip to the supermarket before she went to the park.
She thought that she was early, but she noticed that there were already other people warming up by the time she arrived. Her eyes quickly spotted Xaiver who had taught her how to play badminton that day. She had accepted his badminton racket, so she felt the need to initiate a conversation with him despite being a generally reserved person.
“You guys are really early!” She walked over to greet him. The guy looked stunned when he first saw Cindy, but he quickly flashed her a wide grin. “Look! I was just about to text you.” He waved his phone in front of Cindy’s face as he spoke.
His phone screen showed the WhatsApp conversation between him and her. “I thought I was early, and I thought I’d have to wait for you guys. I can’t believe you guys are more pumped for this than I am,” she said with a smile.
Xaiver put his phone away. “We didn’t have much to do today, so we came earlier.”
Cindy thought about what he said and realized that it was Saturday today. One day had blended into another, so she barely knew the day and date at that point.
