Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1687

Bryce nodded. “That’s great. It’s good that you guys talked about it,” he uttered before letting out a long sigh. “This didn’t have anything to do with you, so it’s the Morgan Family’s duty to step forward and clarify things for you. Part of the reason I didn’t want you to join the entertainment industry was that I didn’t want others to find out about this. Honestly speaking, I knew things would come to this point from the very first day you got yourself into the entertainment industry.”

The old man pulled his sheets aside to get out of bed. He shuffled over to stand by the window. The weather was good today, and the sunshine warmed his insides. Bryce took a deep breath before he continued speaking. “Well, now, I understand that there are some things that I just have to face eventually.”

Ian didn’t have much to say in response. They rarely exchanged words even when they were living in the same house, and Ian had much less to say to Bryce right then. I don’t know anything about how he has been living his life, and he doesn’t know the things I’ve been through. We’re both strangers and family at the same time. I might be okay with having a few basic exchanges with him, but I really don’t know what else I can say apart from that. After thinking for a long while, Ian couldn’t seem to come up with anything else to say. “Hmm. If that’s the case, then I’ll come over to visit you another day. I’ll arrange for someone to snap a few photos before posting them online. I only dropped by today to give you a heads up on this.”

When Bryce turned to look at Ian, he wore a rather amused expression on his face. “Do you have to be so straightforward with me? You should at least act a little nicer. Regardless of what our relationship is like, I’m still your father.”

Ian didn’t take the man’s advice. “I have no reason to be nice to you. You know the sort of person I am—I hate beating around the bush. You’d think of me as pretentious and I would feel uneasy, so what’s the point of all that? We might as well communicate in a way that we’re both used to.”

After a long while, Bryce finally tore his gaze away from Ian. “Your mother was just like you. I thought I liked her at first, but later, I realized that I didn’t like her at all. It didn’t matter if her personality used to amuse me. I still got bored of it in the end.”

Cindy felt the urge to protest after hearing what Bryce said. He’s just giving excuses! What does he mean when he says that he got bored of someone he used to like? That just means that he’s a disloyal man. I can’t believe he’s even putting the blame on Aurora’s straightforward personality. How rude is that? Cindy couldn’t stop herself from speaking. “I think it’s good to be straightforward. I got together with Ian because I liked his personality, and I still like him now. I can’t promise that I’ll like him forever, but I know for a fact that I wouldn’t lose feelings for him just because I stopped liking his personality. If we ever break up, it’ll be because of some other factors.”

Bryce was rather shocked to hear Cindy voicing out against his opinion. He gazed at the young woman with the same amused look on his face, seemingly not angry at all. “Your girlfriend has some guts. She seems really protective of you.”
