Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1907


The man kept talking until the food was served, but even then, he ignored it and went on talking.

When he finally stopped, Cindy said, “You should eat. We can talk after that.”

The man sighed and picked his cutlery up. However, his past was affecting his appetite, so he only had a few bites before putting his spoon down.

Cindy looked calm. She couldn’t really sympathize with the man. After all, everyone had their own version of the same story. Without Aurora to prove the truth, she wouldn’t believe a word about the man’s story.

The man hesitated for a while, then he said, “My family had some problems back then. When my daughter gave birth, there were some complications, so I had to go to the hospital often. That’s why I missed out on a lot of stuff. I only found out about her news online after I settled my family business.”

He was trying to say that he didn’t see Aurora during her lowest because he had a reason. However, now, he was willing to stand by her again.

“I see,” Cindy answered calmly. She didn’t believe it. If he truly cared about Aurora, he would have tried to contact her no matter what. It was the Information Era, and everyone would go online if they had time. Even if they didn’t, they would get push notifications on their phones to tell them about the latest news. I don’t buy it. He must know something at the very least.

The man kept talking about his challenges, and how the whole family had to work nonstop for months because of his grandkid’s hearing disability.

Sob stories wouldn’t work on Cindy though. It was one matter if she found out about it herself, but if the ‘victim’ was crying about it right in front of her, she would doubt the authenticity of the story.

The talk lasted for more than one hour. More precisely, the man kept complaining for more than an hour. Cindy would give a response occasionally to show that she was listening.

After he was done with dinner, he sighed. “I know I shouldn’t be telling you all of this, but I needed to vent. I didn’t know who I could trust.”

Cindy pursed her lips. “Have you told Aurora about this?”

The man shook his head. “I don’t want her to find out. She might get worried too.”
