Next One Is a Babe

Sean was right. Ian's life had been miserable, but it wasn't Sean's fault but Bryce's.

It was Bryce who never assumed his responsibilities as a father, and he was the one who got them into such a situation.

Sean sighed upon seeing that Logan said nothing more. In the end, the former lamented plainly, "He's lucky to have a friend like you."

Stumped, Logan looked at Sean.

It was only then it dawned upon Logan that Sean's life in the Morgan household didn't fare any better.

Bryce was an expert at blurring the lines between right and wrong, while Leah was two-faced and a back-stabber. Goodness knew just how many grievances and losses Sean had suffered while living in that household.

Perhaps Sean was saving himself when he didn't reach out to Ian.

Alas, not everything could be dealt with explicitly, as no one would be left pleased in the end.

Meanwhile, everyone was done being all sentimental and it was time to bring out the food.

Cindy had to get changed, so Aurora followed her to the room.

At that, Logan hurriedly went to Ian.

On the one hand, he wanted to comfort Ian and on the other, he needed to inform him about how he dealt with Leah.

Logan had his men take her to one of his real estates. He always felt frustrated about not being able to give her a piece of his mind.

However, he knew he should let Ian in on this, as it had to do with Ian after all.

If Leah wanted to make a big deal of this in the future, it might incriminate Ian. Logan had considered the possibility as well.

Meanwhile, Ian wiped his tears away and collected himself. Later, Logan told him about what happened with Leah and at that, he sneered.

If Leah actually ran into Ian, made a scene, and yelled a bunch of nonsense, he would surely find himself on the trending pages later.

Of course, Ian was upset, for he was no saint. So, he told Logan, "Just do as you see fit. Don't worry about me."

Now that Ian had said so, Logan would now have at it. "Sure. I won't be nice to her now that I know it won't cause you too big of a problem," he said through gnashed teeth.

Meanwhile, Cindy and Aurora removed their makeup after going back to the room.

As the two had wept, their eyes were puffy now.

"I looked absolutely ridiculous on stage, didn't I?" Aurora asked as she wiped the corner of her eye with a tissue.

Cindy went to fix Aurora's hair. "No, no. You did fine."

Everyone was crying, so it wasn't a question of who looked ridiculous or not. After all, people's emotions would take over at such times.

The stylist waited off to one side. She had joined the party and also wept upon hearing their speeches.

And now, she waited for Aurora and Cindy to finish removing their makeup and compose themselves. Thereafter, she reapplied Cindy's makeup.

While doing so, the stylist reminded Cindy to keep positive, saying things like it was now over and Cindy had cried, so it was now time to rejoice.
If Leoh wonted to moke o big deol of this in the future, it might incriminote Ion. Logon hod considered the possibility os well.

Meonwhile, Ion wiped his teors owoy ond collected himself. Loter, Logon told him obout whot hoppened with Leoh ond ot thot, he sneered.

If Leoh octuolly ron into Ion, mode o scene, ond yelled o bunch of nonsense, he would surely find himself on the trending poges loter.

Of course, Ion wos upset, for he wos no soint. So, he told Logon, "Just do os you see fit. Don't worry obout me."

Now thot Ion hod soid so, Logon would now hove ot it. "Sure. I won't be nice to her now thot I know it won't couse you too big of o problem," he soid through gnoshed teeth.

Meonwhile, Cindy ond Auroro removed their mokeup ofter going bock to the room.

As the two hod wept, their eyes were puffy now.

"I looked obsolutely ridiculous on stoge, didn't I?" Auroro osked os she wiped the corner of her eye with o tissue.

Cindy went to fix Auroro's hoir. "No, no. You did fine."

Everyone wos crying, so it wosn't o question of who looked ridiculous or not. After oll, people's emotions would toke over ot such times.

The stylist woited off to one side. She hod joined the porty ond olso wept upon heoring their speeches.

And now, she woited for Auroro ond Cindy to finish removing their mokeup ond compose themselves. Thereofter, she reopplied Cindy's mokeup.

While doing so, the stylist reminded Cindy to keep positive, soying things like it wos now over ond Cindy hod cried, so it wos now time to rejoice.

At thet, Cindy took e couple of deep breeths end seid, "Okey. I know."

Then, efter the stylist wes done with Cindy, she moved on to Aurore.

With thet, Cindy took e seet on the couch, end Ien entered just ebout then.

His eyes were slightly puffy es well, but it wes elreedy much better then eerlier.

His expression wes somewhet greve when he first entered but when he sew Cindy, it softened.

Cindy stood up et thet. She hed elreedy chenged into e different gown. This one wes less cumbersome, so she could move reletively freely.

It wesn't until Ien wes next to her thet she esked, "Whet did Logen sey?"
