Female Novel
Chapter 1653
In Ian’s room? No. “I’m not sleepy. Not sleepy at all.”
Aurora chuckled and laid back on the couch. “I’ll watch some TV. You get some sleep. I’ll be fine bymyself.”
Cindy smiled bitterly. I’d love to, but I can’t go in there.
Aurora left Cindy to her own devices and turned her attention to the TV.
Cindy was feeling dizzy. She didn’t sleep well to begin with, and she was tired after the morning’sshopping. She needed rest, but she couldn’t go into the room. Left with no choice, she tried her best tostay awake and watch the TV with Aurora. However, her exhaustion caught up to her shortly after, andshe fell asleep.
When Cindy wasn’t moving around anymore, Aurora looked at her and sighed. She went to her room totake a blanket and cover Cindy up. After sitting on the couch for a while more, Aurora turned the TV offand knocked on Ian’s door.
Ian woke up immediately this time. “What is it?”
Aurora whispered, “She’s asleep on the couch. I told her to sleep in your room but she said no. Youcan’t just leave her out there.” Before Ian could say anything, she continued, “I’m exhausted from allthe shopping, so I’m going to bed too. You know what to do.” She went back to her room anddeliberately closed her door slightly louder than she would. Ian heard it.
He slowly sat up. He didn’t feel as awful now that he had some sleep, so he got out of bed and openedthe door.
Cindy was sleeping on the couch with a blanket covering her. However, she was obviously sleeping inan uncomfortable position.
Ian went over and stared at her. How did we get to this point? Neither of us gets anything out of this.He waited for a moment before going over to whisper, “Hey, wake up. The room’s yours.”
Cindy didn’t even stir. She was too exhausted.
Ian’s brows furrowed. A moment later, he tapped her shoulder. “Hey, wake up. Can you hear me?”
Still no response from her.
He slowly pulled his hand back, hesitating if he should do it. She’s probably really exhausted. Shedidn’t make a sound the night before, but he had a feeling she didn’t sleep well either. After all, she wassharing a room with a guy. There was no way she could have slept soundly.
Ian put his hands on his hips and looked around, especially at his mother’s room. She must be asleep,for he didn’t hear anything at all. Ian took a deep breath and picked Cindy up. She must be trulyexhausted because she didn’t even wake up from that. novelbin
Ian took every step as carefully as he could. It was a short trip back to the room, but Ian took a longtime before he finally arrived at the bed. Cindy murmured something under her breath, but she didn’twake up. All she did was roll over.
Ian heaved a sigh of relief. Since Cindy was there, he couldn’t be in the room anymore. After tuckingher in, he went to lie on the couch, but he couldn’t sleep anymore. Ian crossed his legs and lay therefor a few minutes, but then he sat up after remembering something.
He went to the porch and took the gift box meant for Cindy. Ian tore it open easily and took the racketout for a little swing, but it didn’t take long for him to scoff. This isn’t worth jack at all. And they made afuss just because of this? Man, they know nothing about rackets if they think this costs a lot of money.
