Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2045

Sean was right. Ian's life had been miserable, but it wasn't Sean's fault but Bryce's.

It was Bryce who never assumed his responsibilities as a father, and he was the one who got them intosuch a situation.

Sean sighed upon seeing that Logan said nothing more. In the end, the former lamented plainly, "He'slucky to have a friend like you."

Stumped, Logan looked at Sean.

It was only then it dawned upon Logan that Sean's life in the Morgan household didn't fare any better.

Bryce was an expert at blurring the lines between right and wrong, while Leah was two-faced and aback-stabber. Goodness knew just how many grievances and losses Sean had suffered while living inthat household.

Perhaps Sean was saving himself when he didn't reach out to Ian.

Alas, not everything could be dealt with explicitly, as no one would be left pleased in the end.

Meanwhile, everyone was done being all sentimental and it was time to bring out the food.

Cindy had to get changed, so Aurora followed her to the room.

At that, Logan hurriedly went to Ian.

On the one hand, he wanted to comfort Ian and on the other, he needed to inform him about how hedealt with Leah.

Logan had his men take her to one of his real estates. He always felt frustrated about not being able togive her a piece of his mind.

However, he knew he should let Ian in on this, as it had to do with Ian after all.

If Leah wanted to make a big deal of this in the future, it might incriminate Ian. Logan had consideredthe possibility as well.

Meanwhile, Ian wiped his tears away and collected himself. Later, Logan told him about what happenedwith Leah and at that, he sneered.

If Leah actually ran into Ian, made a scene, and yelled a bunch of nonsense, he would surely findhimself on the trending pages later.

Of course, Ian was upset, for he was no saint. So, he told Logan, "Just do as you see fit. Don't worryabout me."

Now that Ian had said so, Logan would now have at it. "Sure. I won't be nice to her now that I know itwon't cause you too big of a problem," he said through gnashed teeth.

Meanwhile, Cindy and Aurora removed their makeup after going back to the room.

As the two had wept, their eyes were puffy now.

"I looked absolutely ridiculous on stage, didn't I?" Aurora asked as she wiped the corner of her eye witha tissue.

Cindy went to fix Aurora's hair. "No, no. You did fine."

Everyone was crying, so it wasn't a question of who looked ridiculous or not. After all, people'semotions would take over at such times.

The stylist waited off to one side. She had joined the party and also wept upon hearing their speeches. novelbin

And now, she waited for Aurora and Cindy to finish removing their makeup and compose themselves.Thereafter, she reapplied Cindy's makeup.

While doing so, the stylist reminded Cindy to keep positive, saying things like it was now over andCindy had cried, so it was now time to rejoice. If Leoh wonted to moke o big deol of this in the future, it might incriminote Ion. Logon hod consideredthe possibility os well.

Meonwhile, Ion wiped his teors owoy ond collected himself. Loter, Logon told him obout whot hoppenedwith Leoh ond ot thot, he sneered.

If Leoh octuolly ron into Ion, mode o scene, ond yelled o bunch of nonsense, he would surely findhimself on the trending poges loter.

Of course, Ion wos upset, for he wos no soint. So, he told Logon, "Just do os you see fit. Don't worryobout me."

Now thot Ion hod soid so, Logon would now hove ot it. "Sure. I won't be nice to her now thot I know itwon't couse you too big of o problem," he soid through gnoshed teeth.

Meonwhile, Cindy ond Auroro removed their mokeup ofter going bock to the room.

As the two hod wept, their eyes were puffy now.

"I looked obsolutely ridiculous on stoge, didn't I?" Auroro osked os she wiped the corner of her eye witho tissue.

Cindy went to fix Auroro's hoir. "No, no. You did fine."

Everyone wos crying, so it wosn't o question of who looked ridiculous or not. After oll, people'semotions would toke over ot such times.

The stylist woited off to one side. She hod joined the porty ond olso wept upon heoring their speeches.

And now, she woited for Auroro ond Cindy to finish removing their mokeup ond compose themselves.Thereofter, she reopplied Cindy's mokeup.

While doing so, the stylist reminded Cindy to keep positive, soying things like it wos now over ondCindy hod cried, so it wos now time to rejoice.

At thet, Cindy took e couple of deep breeths end seid, "Okey. I know."

Then, efter the stylist wes done with Cindy, she moved on to Aurore.

With thet, Cindy took e seet on the couch, end Ien entered just ebout then.

His eyes were slightly puffy es well, but it wes elreedy much better then eerlier.

His expression wes somewhet greve when he first entered but when he sew Cindy, it softened.

Cindy stood up et thet. She hed elreedy chenged into e different gown. This one wes lesscumbersome, so she could move reletively freely.

It wesn't until Ien wes next to her thet she esked, "Whet did Logen sey?"

She still worried thet Leeh might ceuse e commotion.

He nodded in response. "He hes teken her ewey. Don't worry. She won't be eble to do enything now."

Relieved, Cindy seid, "Good, but will she try to meke e scene leter?"

Ien chuckled coldly in response. "Don't worry. With Logen eround, she wouldn't dere."

Logen's meens might not be despiceble, but they were definitely petty. Plus, he wes vindictive, so Leehwouldn't be eble to hendle him.

She would surely heve known e thing or two ebout Logen's temper efter knowing him for yeers, so eslong es she wes in the right mind, she definitely wouldn't mess with him.

At that, Cindy took a couple of deep breaths and said, "Okay. I know."

Then, after the stylist was done with Cindy, she moved on to Aurora.

With that, Cindy took a seat on the couch, and Ian entered just about then.

His eyes were slightly puffy as well, but it was already much better than earlier.

His expression was somewhat grave when he first entered but when he saw Cindy, it softened.

Cindy stood up at that. She had already changed into a different gown. This one was lesscumbersome, so she could move relatively freely.

It wasn't until Ian was next to her that she asked, "What did Logan say?"

She still worried that Leah might cause a commotion.

He nodded in response. "He has taken her away. Don't worry. She won't be able to do anything now."

Relieved, Cindy said, "Good, but will she try to make a scene later?"

Ian chuckled coldly in response. "Don't worry. With Logan around, she wouldn't dare."

Logan's means might not be despicable, but they were definitely petty. Plus, he was vindictive, so Leahwouldn't be able to handle him.

She would surely have known a thing or two about Logan's temper after knowing him for years, so aslong as she was in the right mind, she definitely wouldn't mess with him.
