Ian knew why he was doing that, and he would have mocked Peter if it was in the past, but he couldn’t be bothered to even tell him off now.
Peter nodded. “I think you guys are close.”
“Not exactly,” Ian said. “We were fighting when we first met you. Didn’t even talk much. Didn’t you realize she was giving me the cold shoulder?”
Peter forced a smile. “She’s stubborn, but she’s a nice girl.”
I don’t need you to tell me that. He grunted. “Well, it’s normal for girls to play hard to get, especially when they’re in front of the guy they like. I understand that, so I’ve been trying to make her feel special. I think it’s really fun.”
Peter pursed her lips. He felt hurt just from hearing that. Even though Ian wasn’t showing any public affection with Cindy, it still hurt Peter’s feelings. He nodded. “I see. I’ll be going now. I don’t have anything to do here.”
“See ya around.” Ian sat back down and saw Peter off.
Meanwhile, Cindy and Aurora hailed a ride and headed toward the Morgan Residence.
Aurora said she dreamed of Leah the night before, and she was feeling restless the whole day, so she insisted on coming over to take a look.
Cindy objected to it at first. After all, there was nothing to gain from seeing Leah when she was in this condition. However, Aurora kept convincing her since that morning, and Cindy had always been a softie at heart, so she came with Aurora in the end.
They stood on the street across from the residence and looked at each other, clueless about what they should do next.
The residence’s door was closed, and it looked like it was locked. Even if it wasn’t, they couldn’t just go in whenever they wanted.
