But he thought wrong. He thought it was Gary on the other end of the call, so Ian looked away and
pursed his lips, and his face fell.
Aurora didn’t notice that though. After they paid the bill for their meal, they came out, and Aurora
looked at Ian. “We should go home now.”
Ian left for home without saying a word.
Seeing this, Aurora sighed and turned to Cindy. “He seems angry.”
Cindy shared her sentiment. Since they had dated for a while now, Cindy knew what Ian was thinking
at one glance, and he was obviously unhappy.
The ladies trailed behind Ian, thereupon Aurora whispered, “Did we get on his nerves?”
Cindy shook her head. “It’s probably about the scandal online.” Nobody said anything to anger him just
now. In fact, they didn’t say a word during the second half of dinner, so there was no way Ian would get
annoyed.
Ian didn’t say anything at all on the way home. All he did was walk ahead darkly. Cindy left him to his
own devices and chatted with Aurora.
Aurora was exhausted after coming home, so she told them good night and went to her room, leaving
the young couple in the living room. Without Aurora around, things started getting awkward. They didn’t
look at each other, but they didn’t know what else they could direct their gaze at.
A while later, Ian said, “You should get some sleep. I’ll watch some TV.”
He tried his best to sound calm, but Cindy could still hear the annoyance in his voice. However, she
went to her room without saying another word.
On the other hand, Ian went to the sofa, feeling restless. He used to be a different person; someone
who could put on a façade. He had to hide his true self since that was how he survived living with the
Morgans. It then turned into a habit, and he always put on a façade whenever he was around someone
else, but now, he couldn’t keep that act up anymore.
He knew he was being rude back at the restaurant, but he couldn’t help it. He just wanted to vent. Even
after the ladies were gone, he still wanted to vent. He wasn’t angry at anyone, but he just needed to let
it out.
Ian leaned against the sofa. The TV was on, but he couldn’t concentrate. A while later, he went to wash
his face, and when he was on his way back to the living room, he stopped outside his room to hear
what was happening inside.
There was nothing, as if nobody was inside. Cindy was a quiet girl to begin with, so either she was
resting, or she was already asleep. Ian slowly relaxed and went to the couch to lie down. He was
getting tired himself.
Cindy was sleepy. Too sleepy. She went to lie on the bed, but instead of covering herself with a blanket,
she only covered herself with her clothes. She thought she could organize her thoughts, but her
exhaustion got the better of her and she drifted to sleep.
It was already evening when she woke up. She didn’t have any dreams, so it was a good sleep. Cindy
was groggy when she woke up, so she sat on the bed for a while to regain her bearing. After sobering
up, she wore her jacket and went out.
She thought she had already slept long enough, but Aurora slept even longer seeing that she wasn’t
even awake yet. Ian was lying on the couch, apparently asleep. Not a soul was stirring in the house,
save for Cindy. She tiptoed toward Ian and saw him curled up on the big couch. In this state, he looked
vulnerable.
Cindy stood beside the couch, looking down at him. Ian looked harmless when he was sound asleep,
but whenever he was awake, he had a knack for hurting people with his words.
