Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1868

It was still Simon, and judging by how persistent he was, he probably had something important to say to Ian.

Cindy turned to look at Ian, who was clutching his phone with a frown.

In a show of what she could only presume was assertion and defiance, he rejected the call once more. However, just as expected, the phone rang again several seconds later and it was still Simon on the other line.

Ian was prepared to take the call now that it was the third one. Knowing how pesky Simon could get, he wouldn’t stop calling until someone had answered the phone.

However, Cindy beat Ian to it as she grabbed his phone and decisively said, “I’ll take it for you.”

He didn’t stop her, which probably meant he was acceding to this proposal, so she picked up the phone and swiped to answer it. Without waiting for Simon to speak, she said, “Hello?”

Simon had only just begun to say Ian’s name when he was stunned to hear Cindy’s voice greeting him instead. The rest of his words died on his tongue after that.

Pretending not to have heard anything, Cindy pressed again, “Hello, who’s this?”

After a few seconds of silence, Simon finally asked, “Where’s Ian?”

“Who are you? He’s busy at the moment, so why don’t you leave a message if it’s that important? I’ll pass it on to him later,” Cindy demanded huffily, not at all patient enough to deal with his question.

Simon wasn’t sure whether Ian was indeed busy or if he simply didn’t want to entertain him at all. He was quiet with thought for a minute before saying reluctantly, “Then, have him call me back once he’s done being busy. I have something to talk to him about.”

Cindy hummed in response to show that she had agreed to do just that, then hung up the phone, but not before hearing a woman’s voice in Simon’s background. The woman was probably going to ask Simon about the phone call, but he had ended the call so quickly that Cindy only managed to catch the beginning of what the woman had been about to say.

She couldn’t be sure if Leah was the woman in question, but she returned the phone to Ian nonetheless and said, “Sounds like he really needs to talk to you.”

Ian scoffed. “The only thing they really want to talk to me about is money.” The rumors surrounding the will had yet to blow over and Leah and her children would likely try to make their case on the matter.

Presently, Cindy and Ian sat down at the dining table and started on their meals, but they had barely taken a few bites when his phone rang again.

Thinking that it was yet another one of Simon’s calls, Cindy frowned and said in irritation, “My goodness, doesn’t he know when to stop?”

Ian was equally annoyed. “At this rate, I might have to ask the attorney to tell him to stop harassing us.”

As he said this, he reached for his phone, only to be astonished when he saw the caller ID.

At the sight of this, she knew that something was off and asked bluntly, “Is it Simon again?”

“Hmm.” Ian looked grim and replied, “No, it’s Yulia.”

Cindy paused in a shock. “Yulia? What does she want now?”

Frankly speaking, he was just as clueless, not to mention surprised.
