Chapter 2152
He held Cindy's hand. "I'd like to catch a break. We'll talk about my plans after that." He had a lot ofthings to do—things that were more important than work.
Cindy mused over it and nodded. She didn't ask Ian about his plans. They leaned on each other andmade small talk, then delivery came. They roused Aurora and took their seats at the dining table.There, Ian told his mother he wasn't going to renew his contract.
Aurora could guess it, and she grunted. "Hannah brought it up a few times. I could guess it then."
If he did want to renew his contract, he would've brought it up instead of dragging it out. Aurora mightbe a failure of a mother most of the time, but she knew her son, at least a bit of him. The fact hedragged it out meant he didn't want to renew his contract. Aurora didn't know what to say.
Hannah asked Aurora to persuade Ian to renew his contract, but she didn't think there was a need forthat. Everyone had their own choice in life. She wanted to return to the industry, but her son wanted togo on the opposite path. That was the choice he made, and she refused to butt in. She wanted him todo what he liked, but still, she was curious about what he wanted to do, so she asked. novelbin
Ian took a bite out of his meat. "I'd like to catch a break. When all these… scandals die down, I'll startplanning my future." He wanted to hold a wedding. Even though he and Cindy were married, he stillwanted to give her a wedding so she could be the center of everyone's attention for at least a day.
Aurora heaved a long sigh. "That's not a bad thing. Finish up your stuff and live quietly with Cindy. Youdon't have to face the public for a while.
He nodded. "I think so too. It's been exhausting as of late, and I don't know why. I've been trying to
ease up at work, but I still feel tired." When Logan called last time to tell him about his life, Ian enviedhim. Logan said he'd spend time with his wife whenever he had time. Lola was about to go into labor,so he stayed with her all the time. He brought John up as well. John stayed at home with his wife andchildren, and he didn't work. That was Logan's dream.
Ian really envied them. He too wanted to stop working and spend time with his family. He too wanted tojust fret over the small stuff. Some people might scoff at this kind of life because they wanted to pursuea career, but Ian was not that kind of person. He liked a laid-back life. Back in the day, he had to workhard because he needed money to keep up his life, but now that he had enough money from work andBryce's inheritance, he could take it slow. Life was meant to be enjoyed, and since he had the moneyto enjoy life, there was no need to do things too fast.
They chatted over dinner. Despite their lack of appetite and abundance of food, they managed to finisheverything.
Cindy leaned on the back of the couch. "Man, I'm full."
Ian patted her belly and laughed. "You look like you're three months pregnant."
She patted her belly as well. It's round. She smiled. "Yeah, it does."
Aurora got up and wobbled to the bathroom, trying to wash herself up. She said, "You should getpregnant. We'll have another member in the family."
Cindy narrowed her eyes. "Well, we'll go with the flow. If fate wants it, we'll have a kid eventually."
They couldn't force things, and Ian thought so too. He rubbed Cindy's belly. "Yeah, we'll go with theflow."
