Female Novel
Chapter 1707
Ian stood in the kitchen for quite some time before turning his head.
He couldn’t quite contain his guffaws upon seeing her retreating back as she hastily fled the scene. Inever realized that she’s actually quite an interesting character and it’s quite fun to tease her.
On the other hand, Cindy went back into her room and shut the door behind her. Then, she leanedagainst the door as she tried to catch her breath.
Ian’s quite strange! He’s behaving very strangely indeed. She wasn’t sure what had happened to himand she seemed to get the feeling that he was trying to flirt with her from his current actions and theway he interacted with her.
However, this didn’t make sense to her, so his actions seemed stranger than ever.
She waited for a short while before walking toward the windowsill and standing in front of it. She thenopened the window to allow some breeze into the room.
Her face remained flushed red as her heart continued to gallop.
Initially, she was quite upset by the fact that Leah had called to yell at Ian but now, she didn’t even careabout that.
All that was on Cindy’s mind was the way that Ian had stood in front of her with an expression that wasquite solemn yet with a hint of a smile as he spoke in a soft voice to her.
Truth be told, Cindy was quite perplexed by his attitude toward her recently. Is it because there are not
that many women around him, so he thinks that I’m a good catch? But then that can’t be right! He wasbusy with quite a few films previously and it’s only recently that he’s been staying at home more often.He didn’t spend that much time at home either, so it doesn’t make sense for him to feel attracted andset his sights on me because of the lack of attention from the opposite sex! She scratched her head butin the end, she couldn’t quite come up with a conclusion.
Meanwhile, Ian was quite restless and he took a seat on the couch to watch some TV. However, hewas very tempted to eavesdrop against the door to find out what Cindy was doing inside the room.
He was quite aware that she would definitely not make the first move to come out of the room so in theend, he got up and switched off the television. Thereafter, he walked toward the bedroom after someslight hesitation.
Cindy hadn't locked the door from the inside so he easily opened the door after twisting the doorknob.
Meanwhile, she did expect him to come in as well. As soon as he opened the door, though she got afright, she didn’t make any further moves.
She stood still at her original spot in front of the windowsill and looked out of the window.
In fact, there wasn’t anything interesting outside. After all, the sky had darkened and there was noscenery other than some street lights.
Ian went ahead and took his clothes before turning around to leave. Indeed, Cindy had anticipated thathe was going to freshen up.
Both of them didn’t say a word to each other, but the awkward atmosphere from before didn’t seem to
diminish at all. novelbin
Ian took a quick shower and went back into the room. Then, he sat down on the bed to play somegames on his phone.
Meanwhile, Cindy considered it for a moment before grabbing her clothes to go and take a shower.
When she came back into the room, Ian continued to lean against the headboard and he was busy withhis game. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and silently moved to the other side of thebed.
Subsequently, she lay down in bed stealthily and covered herself with the comforter.
The current time was much earlier than their usual bedtime, but Cindy and Ian had nothing to say toeach other nor did they have anything else to do, although they were stuck in the same space. And so,all they could think of was to go to bed earlier.
Just then, she had just lay down in bed and he coincidentally ended one round of his game. Ian, too,didn’t continue the next round but chose to turn off his cell phone. Then, he lay down next to her andflicked off the lights.
Both of them were aware that each other were still awake but none of them said a word. This persistedfor a few minutes before Ian turned to the other side to face her.
Cindy could sense him inching closer and closer toward her but she couldn’t find the words to stop him,
so she pretended to be unaware of his movement.
He remained in his position for quite some time before inching closer to her again.
Cindy was significantly annoyed because there was no way she could sleep soundly with him behavingin such a manner. Her whole body tensed up and her senses were heightened and focused on her rightside. Although she couldn’t see Ian, she knew that he was still wide awake and he was fully consciousduring the last two times that he had shifted closer to her.
She shut her eyes and relaxed as her breathing turned shallower. On the contrary, Ian was not onlyawake, but he also had his eyes wide open too and he kept his eyes on Cindy quite firmly. There wasnot even a glimmer of light in the room, but the room wasn’t completely enveloped in darkness either.
