Chapter 1468 One Couldn’t Have the Best of Both Worlds

Ian shook his head since he was clueless about it as well, for Aurora seemed quite happy while discussing her

upcoming film role with Hannah back then. Moreover, she had acquitted herself well when they finished discussing

everything and left. However, as soon as they left the cafe, she suddenly said she was thirsty and went to the

supermarket. When she came out of the supermarket, she was already as drunk as a lord. Ian didn’t know what

had happened in the supermarket, but he figured she had probably bought booze instead of drinking water. As for

why she had drunk herself into a stupor, Ian couldn’t figure it out on their way home. When he asked Aurora why

she did so, she didn’t answer him. Instead, she kept making trouble along the way.

Cindy thought for a moment before she sat down next to the woman. Then, she patted the latter several times on

the back and said in a tone of voice that sounded like she was coaxing a child, “You should go to rest early today.

You just landed a film role, haven’t you? Now you have to rest up so that you’ll leave a good impression on the

others at the screen test later.”

Luckily, Aurora listened to these words. She replied with a nod, “You’re right. I just landed the role today.” She put

down the cup and turned to face Cindy, “Do you know how much time has passed since the last time I appeared

on-screen? The part is small, and it makes very few appearances in the film, but I’m quite happy.” She took Cindy’s

hand and held it in hers. “At last, someone has accepted me, albeit reluctantly. This is an improvement.” She had

always talked about her miserable life with a smile on her face, but she visibly choked up this time.

Cindy felt somewhat perturbed when she saw Aurora like this. She patted the back of Aurora’s hand and comforted

her by saying, “Things will get even better in the future, so let’s take a more positive attitude. You mustn’t drink

alcohol again in the future. You’ll be a performing artist from now on, so you must pay heed to your image. Now go

wash your face and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Uh-huh,” Aurora responded. “Yeah, you’re right. I have to pay heed to my image from now on.” She ran her

fingers through her hair. “I’m going to wash my face,” she said. Then, she stood up and staggered toward the

bathroom.

Ian hurriedly supported Aurora and helped her to the bathroom. Then, he looked back and said to Cindy, “Just go to

sleep first and leave the rest to me.”

However, Cindy was worried as well. After thinking for a moment, she turned around, opened the door to Ian’s

room, and entered the room to tidy it up.

Aurora said after getting washed, “You two don’t have to care about me. Just go to sleep.”

Neither Ian nor Cindy moved, though.

Aurora then headed toward Cindy’s room. “I’ll sleep in this room. Hurry up and go to sleep, you two. It’s getting

late.”

A startled Cindy hurriedly went over and stopped her. “How about you sleep in that room? This room has been

unoccupied. I’ll tidy it up in a while.”

“Ah,” Aurora responded before thinking for a moment. “All right then. In that case, just tidy up the room yourselves.

I’m going to sleep; I can hardly keep my eyes open,” she said before turning around and going into Ian’s room.

Cindy immediately closed the door before turning to look at Ian. “How about you sleep in my room? I’ll sleep on the

sofa for another night.”

Ian waved his hand. “I’ll sleep on the sofa instead. I’m not sure if she’ll come out in the middle of the night. Besides,

it’s more appropriate for me to sleep on the sofa. Since she has gotten so drunk, I have to check on her in the

middle of the night. Just get inside and sleep.”

Cindy gave it some thought before going back to her room as Ian told her to.

Ian sat on the sofa and let out a sigh. After a while, he went back to his room and took out his quilt, which was

covered with the new sunflower-patterned orange bedspread Cindy had previously bought. After spreading the quilt

on the sofa, he switched off the lights and lay down on it. The sofa wasn’t small, but he felt uncomfortable lying on

it. In fact, he turned over twice as he couldn’t fall asleep.

When he went to meet Hannah today, the latter had done him a favor by saying that she would look out for suitable

job opportunities for Aurora in the future. However, she had also told him her concerns. After all, Ian was born

illegitimate, so Aurora’s return to show business was bound to have a certain impact on him.

Naturally, Ian was aware of this, but he could do nothing about it. After all, one couldn’t have the best of both

worlds. He couldn’t benefit Aurora without letting her affect himself, for this would be an unreasonable request.
