Female Novel
Chapter 1769
Ian closed the window and went to the front door.
Cindy and Aurora had gone on a walk while he was on the phone. Apparently, they had something totalk about with him out of the picture.
Ian came out of the apartment complex and looked around the path, but the ladies were nowhere to befound.
They had been whispering in the kitchen when he woke up that morning, and their backs were turnedon him as well, as if they were worried he might overhear them.
Ian gave Cindy a call right there and then.
Cindy took his call and asked calmly, “Yes? Do you need anything?”
Ian asked, “Where are you two?” novelbin
Cindy paused for a moment to think about her answer, then she said, “We came out for a walk. I wasgetting insane from staying at home all the time.”
Ian nodded. “It is a bit boring, so I’m out too. Where are you two? I’ll come over right now.”
“Huh?” Cindy laughed, but it sounded fake. “Oh, really? We’re somewhere else though. Just take astroll around by yourself. We’ll be back later.”
Ian thought they must be up to something, so he asked again, “Where are you two? I’ll come over. I’mdriving, so it shouldn’t take too long.”
Cindy didn’t answer immediately. She was probably talking to Aurora, then she said, “Nope, you don’thave to come. It’s girls’ day out, so we don’t need a guy with us. Just do whatever you want.”
Ian smiled. “Oh, sounds like you’re up to something you don’t want me to know.”
Cindy snorted. She just didn’t want to back down whenever she was in a banter with Ian. “No, we arenot. You’re just being paranoid. We just want to take a stroll around town. Don’t think too much aboutit.”
Well, guess I can’t get anything out of her. Ian didn’t dwell on it. After all, they shouldn’t get into anytrouble, since it was just a normal stroll. He told them to be careful, then he hung up. Since he hadnowhere else to go, he just walked along the neighborhood’s path.
The weather was decent. It wasn’t too hot, too cold, too sunny, nor too cloudy. He slowly went under atree and sat on a chair under it. He had been spending his days cooped up at home doing nothingrecently, but since he was a lazy man who hated going outside, he would have stayed like that if hedidn’t have to work.
He stretched his arms and leaned back before resting his eyes. The weather was not superb, but it wascomfortable to be outside. Not long after he saw down, he felt someone coming over.
The guy stood beside him, but he wasn’t particularly close, though he did not leave either. Ian slowlyopened his eyes and sat up. Yep, I knew there was someone here. And it’s Peter. Ever since he toldCindy how he felt, he never thought of Peter as a threat anymore. Truth be told, he thought Gary was
more of a threat. Peter was just a nobody. A smile curled his lips, and he said, “What a coincidence.Fancy seeing you here.”
Peter said, “I was just passing by, but I stopped when I saw you.”
“I see.” Ian asked, “Do you have anything to say to me?”
Peter had nothing to say to him, actually, though he thought it was rude not to stop by after he bumpedinto Ian. A frown appeared on his forehead and he asked, “Where is she? Why are you here alone?”
Ian arched his eyebrow. “She went on a walk with my mother, and I’m waiting for them.”
Peter looked around by reflex, but he thought it looked inappropriate, so he stopped looking around.
