The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “Do you usually watch horror movies with such anattitude?” The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “Do you usually watch horror movies with such anattitude?”
Cindy solemnly nodded. “Didn’t you realize that this horror movie appears less frightening after I’d saidthat? I can adjust the atmosphere with my attitude and make people less afraid.”
Ian stared at her for a while before he nodded without saying anything. It seemed as though he wasonly now beginning to understand her slightly.
At the end of the month, Ian took a day off because his mother was coming. Cindy had never heardhim mentioning his mother before, but back when news of his background circulated widely on theInternet, she’d read a bit of it. Thus, she knew that his mother, Aurora Peyton, was once a renownedsinger and was a huge hit in the entertainment industry. However, she then met Ian’s scumbag father,and her entire life was ruined.
Ian’s mother came in the morning, whereupon Cindy and Ian both waited for her outside thecommunity. His mother had permed hair while wearing a tight-fitting shirt and wide-leg pants, coupledwith kitten heels. Undeniably, she still looked very much attractive.
Ian didn’t go over to his mother but stood by the community gate, so Cindy stood beside him. Hismother was even wearing sunglasses, and as she stepped out of the taxi, she studied Ian for a whilebefore walking over. Then, she remarked, “This is quite an easy place to find. Come, let’s go in. I forgotto have some water before leaving home, so I’m rather thirsty.” She acted as though this was her own
territory.
Cindy was a tad awkward, not quite sure how she should greet her. Nonetheless, Aurora didn’t evenlook at them, walking into the community area herself. Ian turned, and at the same time, he said toCindy, “Let’s go.” With just that meeting, Cindy could tell that Ian’s relationship with his mother wasn’tgood.
After walking a distance, Aurora slowed down and waited for them. When Ian and Cindy had caught upwith her, she then commented, “I saw the news about the two of you on the Internet. Are you both trulydating?”
A tad embarrassed, Cindy didn’t quite know what to say. This is Ian’s mother, so I can probably tell herthe truth, but it’s best to have fewer people in the know when it comes to this matter. She turned andlooked at Ian, telling him without words to answer this question himself. He can decide himself whetherto tell her the truth.
While Ian didn’t look at her, he understood her meaning. He merely grunted in assent as an answer toAurora. novelbin
Subsequently, Aurora shifted her gaze to Cindy, looking her up and down. It wasn’t certain whether shewas satisfied, but she then retracted her gaze a few seconds later.
The three of them went back to their place upstairs. The moment Aurora stepped into the house, shelooked around before heading straight to the sofa and sat down. “I actually arrived yesterday, but it wastoo late. I didn’t want to bother you, which was why I stayed the night at the hotel. This time, I mainlycame back to see you.”
Taking a bottle of mineral water and juice from the refrigerator, Ian went over and placed them on thecoffee table. “What’s to see about me?” His words and tone sounded rather rude.
On the other hand, Cindy walked over and sat down beside him without interrupting them.
Aurora wasn’t at all offended. Slipping off her sunglasses, she placed them on the coffee table beforesnagging the juice and twisting the cap open. In a single go, she guzzled half the bottle. When she putit back down, she said, “I was planning to come some time ago, but I was delayed.”
Ian looked at her thoughtfully. “Even if you’d come earlier, I was very busy, so I wouldn’t have had timeto entertain you.” He was so brash in his speech that Cindy turned and glanced at him, gently pattinghim on the arm. Although she didn’t quite like Aurora either, feeling that her affair with Bryce Morganhad dragged Ian down, she still thought that there wasn’t any need for impertinent remarks that wouldmake the atmosphere awkward since Aurora was already sitting here in the house.
Aurora chuckled, not at all bothered about his words and tone. “I’m actually very surprised that youdebuted. But it’s a good thing since your brilliant voice isn’t wasted,” she noted.
