Female Novel
Chapter 1712
Cindy hadn’t fallen asleep just yet and she was merely resting in bed with her eyes shut. However, shecouldn’t help herself and her brows were furrowed into a thin line.
Ian walked toward the bed and leaned forward to look at her. “Do you have a headache? Do you wantme to massage your temples?”
Meanwhile, Cindy responded with a muffled voice, “That’s not necessary.”
Despite her refusal, he went ahead anyway and he reached out to massage her temples gently as hetook a seat by the bed.
Cindy could clearly tell that he wasn’t adept at giving a massage and his techniques were quiteawkward, but it was quite soothing indeed.
She had intended to show her integrity and fling his hand aside, but she ended up enjoying it so sheconsidered it for a moment before suppressing herself.
As for Ian, he spoke as he massaged her temple. “Did you have trouble sleeping last night? Was itbecause I was too bothersome?” He had meant to ask whether he had hugged her too tightly by askingthat question. novelbin
However, Cindy’s thoughts went to something else and she grunted an affirmative response. “You werequite loud on the phone.”
Just then, he blinked his eyes in response. “I thought that you didn’t hear that. I actually purposely wentout of the room to answer the call.”
Oh—they spoke on the phone too! Cindy pressed her lips together and stopped replying. It looks likethere were quite a few things that I didn’t realize from last night. I wonder what they talked about lastnight. It must have been quite sweet. Furthermore, they had so much to talk about. They continued totext each other even after hanging up on the phone!
Meanwhile, Ian considered it for a moment before heaving a sigh. “Do you think that perhaps he wasaffected by my harsh words from the other day so he developed a guilty conscience?” However, hisguilty conscience was reflected toward Sean and not me. Well, Sean should thank me for that, then.
Cindy was unsure of what Ian was going on about, so she lifted her head to look at him.
Ian was lost in his own thoughts so he didn’t explain himself and continued, “Is he pitiful though? Ithought about this question for quite some time yesterday. I don’t think you can consider him pitiful.”
As soon as Ian finished his sentence, he smacked his lips. “I’m honestly quite surprised to know that hereflected on his past actions. He’s such a prideful man and he has always been conscious aboutmaintaining a perfect front. Do you know what could have caused him to apologize?” After Ian saidthat, he hesitated and then continued, “To be honest, I would like to see the regretful expression on hisface.”
Just then, Cindy blinked her eyes and she reckoned that she was right in her guess. Last night, theperson who had called and texted him must have been Yulia. Yulia’s such a prideful person and shecares about the way she is portrayed in front of the public more than anything else. She has a fierytemper as well. It’s quite likely that she would lay down her pride in front of solely Ian himself.
She snorted and despite her restrain, her tone of voice was slightly scornful. “I guess that’s true. Thatproves how much the person cares for you.”
Ian paused for a moment because he couldn’t quite catch the meaning behind her words. “Cares forme?”
Meanwhile, Cindy could feel her temples pulsating and she no longer had the patience to continue thisbanter with Ian. Hence, she retorted, “Yeah! If she doesn’t care about you, then why would she call youin the middle of the night and admit her mistake? Everyone in the entertainment industry knows thatMiss Noble has a fiery temper, so you should be grateful for all that she’s done. I’ll have you know thatyou might end up with nothing if you don’t get off your high horse.”
Just then, Ian stared intently at Cindy as his brows furrowed slightly. He was fairly certain that theywere not on the same page at the moment. Anyhow, ‘Miss Noble’ was completely unrelated to his topic.
However, Ian didn’t clarify things immediately but exclaimed in surprise, “Did you hear me on the phonelast night?”
How can that be possible?! Cindy was completely clueless and she had merely realized that he wasn’tin bed. She had gone out to see him texting someone in the living room.
Just then, she shut her eyes. “Didn’t you take the call outside of the room? How could I possibly haveheard it then?”
Ian licked his lips and muttered softly, “Miss Noble?”
It was not necessary for Cindy to look at him to know that he must have a tender expression on hisface at the moment.
He’s such a scumbag! I can’t believe that he actually held me in his arms last night! How could he?Does he think that just because we’re sleeping in the same bed, it would be quite normal to jump intoeach other’s arms?!
