While he might not be able to relate, he still reacted happily and congratulated Cindy before they wenton to talk about their future. For the next few moments, the couple went about their conversationpleasantly like they always had ever since dating each other.
Although Ian was initially upset about the matter between Cindy and Gary when he found out about it,he quickly put that unhappy matter behind him and carried on with his life. Soon, their conversationcame to an end when it was time for Ian to continue filming.
Meanwhile, Cindy returned to her room after hanging up the call. Upon brushing her teeth, she grabbedher previous drafts and started working on them. For some reason, she felt awake and energetic as hermind was flooded with plenty of ideas and inspiration. She then went on to amend the original details inher drawing and added a few new ones until she was satisfied.
Then, she put away her drafts and lay in her bed while trying to empty her mind. In fact, it was Cindy'sfirst time feeling so relaxed in a long while. While lying in bed, she placed both hands on her stomachand closed her eyes, but instead of falling asleep, she fell into a calm and meditative state.
A few minutes later, Cindy's mind was filled with beautiful and sweet scenarios. While she had beenthrough a lot of tough times with Ian, all she saw this time was an ideal world in which she was livinghappily with him. There were moments the two of them sneaked out and played, as well as themoments they kissed each other in front of the fountain, and the time they finally married each other.
As her mind was full of exciting and sweet images, she began to recall some wise words; someoneonce told her that one plus one was greater than two. She didn't understand what it meant back then,but at that moment, it finally seemed to dawn on her.
Deep down, Cindy's subconsciously believed that Ian was also happy to be with her. When she firstworked with Ian, she noticed his poker face, which was unlike his usual smiling face in front of thecameras.
While the man's expression usually indicated that he was either unhappy or calm, she now realizedthat Ian was just being himself, for he also had the same expression on his face while watching TV onthe couch alone. Therefore, she believed their lives had changed for the better after becoming acouple, thinking that was how a healthy relationship should be.
While Cindy continued to lie down in bed, she suddenly heard someone opening the door from theoutside. Thus, she quickly opened her eyes and got down from the bed to head outside her room, onlyto see a drunk Aurora after dinner. The woman walked barefoot into the living room and collapsed ontothe couch directly.
In the meantime, Cindy stared at her for a while and went into the kitchen to get her a glass of water."How many jobs are you working in a day? Why did you have to stay out so late?"
"I didn't want to. Those people only had time at night." Aurora let out a sigh. In fact, Cindy almostthought someone was trying to set Aurora up if she hadn't managed to get herself out of trouble everytime.
"You're stressing your stomach out. Take care of yourself before your body gives out." Cindy gave
Aurora a glass of water.
Aurora sat up straight and waved her hand. "It's not that easy. They won't be happy if I turn themdown." After that, she let out a sigh and added, "Those people are cunning and sly. Apart from playingbuddy-buddy with me, they don't know anything else. What choice do I have?"
Cindy couldn't understand and relate to Aurora's situation, so she only let out a sigh in response.
