Female Novel
Chapter 1927
Cindy didn’t feel good when others were talking bad about her, but she felt rather uneasy now thateveryone was complimenting her. For the most part, she felt like she wasn’t as great as thecompliments she received—it made her feel self-conscious to hear what people had to say about her.However, she then recalled something. She edged closer to Ian before muttering to him in a secretivetone. “How do you think Yulia will react once she sees today’s news?”
Ian didn’t care the least bit about how Yulia would react. In fact, he didn’t want to think about her at all,but since Cindy brought her up, it meant that Cindy was concerned. After giving it some thought, hepulled Cindy’s hand over and slipped his hand into hers. “Have you decided when you’re going home?”
Cindy only recalled what she had texted Hazel when she heard what Ian said. She realized that Hazelhadn’t replied to her at all. Hazel was getting old, and she rarely ever checked her texts. She oftendecided that she was done checking her phone after she saw that she had no missed calls.
So, Cindy reached for her phone as she answered his question. “I texted her previously, but it was latewhen I texted her, so she probably didn’t see it. I don’t think she checked her phone after that. I’ll giveher a call to let her know about it later.”
Ian hastily let go of her hand when he heard that she wanted to give Hazel a call. “Go on. Call her.”
Cindy felt rather embarrassed to make a phone call in front of Ian, so she brought her phone back toher room. The dial tone only rang a few times before Hazel picked the call up. Fortunately for Cindy,Hazel wasn’t playing poker, so it sounded pretty quiet on the other end of the line. Cindy cleared herthroat before she spoke. “What have you been doing at home recently? Are you busy with anything?”
Hazel didn’t have much to do. She spent most of her time playing poker and preparing meals forherself. Things were easier since she was living alone. Upon hearing Cindy’s question, Hazel realizedthat she seemed to be hinting at something. “What is it? Is anything the matter?” Hazel askedimmediately.
“Well, I told you that I found myself a boyfriend, right? After discussing with him, we decided that we’dlike to bring him home to meet you soon.”
“Are you talking about that superstar boyfriend of yours?” Hazel sounded surprised. “Is he a reliableperson? If you bring him home but break up with him after that, your reputation will be gone,” Hazeluttered after a slight pause.
Cindy’s family was rather traditional and close-minded—they often assumed that the woman wouldmarry the man they brought home. If this didn't happen, their relatives would start gossiping about thematter. Cindy pressed her lips together as she hesitated for a moment. She didn’t have the guts to sayanything about her future with Ian, especially since he was working in such an environment. Therewere a lot of temptations in the entertainment industry, and it was hard for anyone to claim that theywould remain humble and stick to their roots for the rest of their lives.
Yet, Cindy would feel bad if she didn’t get to bring Ian home. She couldn’t continue rejecting him whenhe had already indicated his sincere desire to meet her family. Furthermore, she hoped to solidify herrelationship after bringing him home—she was too in love with him, and she wanted to be with him forthe rest of her life.
“He’s a really good guy. You can get to know him when I bring him home. I think he’s a decent person,”Cindy replied in the end.
Hazel sighed and thought about it for a while before agreeing. “Fine. I’ll help you take a look at himwhen you’re back. If it doesn’t work, then you guys should break up soon. You don’t want to waste youryouth like that.”
Cindy didn’t bother to argue against Hazel’s words—she would only ignore Hazel’s statementswhenever she didn’t like what Hazel said. They used to bicker more in the past, but Cindy no longerhad the energy to fight back now. “I got it,” she muttered before asking Hazel for her availability.
“I’m home now, so I’m free anytime. You guys can decide based on your schedule. He’s probably busy,right? You can get him to plan his time out before coming over,” Hazel replied. novelbin
Cindy felt more at ease upon hearing Hazel’s answer. Once things were settled, Cindy ended the calland walked out of the room.
