Female Novel
Chapter 1472
Ian blinked his eyes. For a moment, he really didn’t know how to explain this.
Aurora changed her shoes at the door as she continued, “I think Cindy is a nice lady. I don’t know whathas gone wrong between you two, but you’d better not be too choosy if her family background isn’t theonly thing you’re particular about.” After changing her shoes, she opened the door and left.
Ian knitted his brows as he didn’t understand what the last part of Aurora’s speech meant. Was shespeaking up for Cindy?
He waited for some time before Cindy woke up as well. She came out of the room, looked around, andasked, “Has Mrs. Morgan gone looking for a house?”
Ian nodded. “She left just a moment ago. I don’t know whether she’ll come back later, though.”
Cindy pulled her hair as she felt somewhat uneasy. “How about we just tell her the truth? I think we’llgive ourselves away sooner or later. This feels so uncomfortable.”
Ian smiled, for he found it embarrassing to say that they seemed to have given themselves awayalready. After a moment’s pause, he replied, “Let me think about it.”
Truth be told, it wasn’t that he couldn’t tell Aurora the truth, but he was somewhat distrustful of her.After all, they had never lived together, so he didn’t know whether Aurora was good at keeping secrets.It would be troublesome if she got drunk as she did last night and let it slip that he and Cindy weren’treally dating. Even the smallest sign of trouble could ruin a person in show business. If this mattercame to light, there would be no way to turn things around, and the impact on him would beimmeasurable.
Cindy couldn’t do anything when Ian said he didn’t want to tell Aurora the truth yet. She could only say,“Just go to your room and lie down for a while. We’ll be going out a while later.”
Ian was no longer sleepy, though. “Nah, I’m not going to sleep. I’ll go downstairs and take a look to seeif there really are any houses available to rent in this neighborhood.”
Cindy thought for a moment. “In that case, I’ll go downstairs with you to take a look.”
They changed their clothes and went out right away. The neighborhood was large and nicely sprucedup with greenery. There was also a notice board next to every road that led to a house in theneighborhood. Generally, anyone who wanted to rent out their houses would put up their rentalinformation on the notice board.
Cindy and Ian went out and looked at the notice boards one by one. Indeed, there were housesavailable for rent, and there were quite a lot of them.
Ian took a closer look at the rental information about the house nearest to their place. After looking atthe house’s address, he said, “Do you believe that my mom is probably inspecting this house rightnow?”
Cindy was startled for a moment as she hadn’t thought that much about it. However, she slowly noddedafter that and replied, “Perhaps she is.”
Ian pulled up the collar of his shirt and pulled his cap down. “Why don’t we go over and take a look?”
Cindy couldn’t help but laugh. “Let’s take a look then.”
The two found the house using the address listed on the rental advert. However, they merely waitedoutside instead of getting too close to the house. As they had expected, it didn’t take long before theysaw Aurora coming out of a building with a man who was probably the landlord.
Cindy smacked her lips. “You two have never lived together, but you obviously know her quite well.” novelbin
Ian narrowed his eyes upon seeing the smile on Aurora’s face. He recalled how Aurora had behavedafter getting drunk last night—she sat in the car and clung to his arm while speaking in a mumble. Shesaid that she had dreamed of returning to show business, that she was already estranged from herfriends and family because of her relationship with Bryce, and that her family had pointed at her noseand swore at her when they last met. They said she had abused her talents and ruined her life for thesake of such a man.
At the time, she rested her forehead on Ian’s shoulder and said with unconcealed sorrow in her voice,“I didn’t know that at the time. I was too young back then, and I was doing very well in show business; Ithought I could get everything with extreme ease and that these things would always be there. Not onlydid I play my cards badly, I even brought you into trouble.”
Ian pursed his lips and watched as Aurora exchanged a few words of greeting with the man who lookedlike the landlord. Then, they both walked toward his apartment happily.
