The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1610 Same Side

Logan wrapped his arm around Ian’s shoulder. “There’s no need to thank us. We’re all friends; it’s our job to take

care of one another.”

There were fruits and drinks prepared in the room, and Logan got Ian and Aurora to sit down and get some rest.

There was food being prepared in another room, and they would get to have a meal in a while. However, Aurora

and Ian didn’t have much appetite after traveling for such long hours.

Ian sat on the couch. He gazed at John for a moment, but neither of them spoke to one another. Sophia only

needed to take one look at John before she could tell that he was being difficult again. He’s always like that, Sophia

thought. He’s always making things hard for himself. Both Ian and I have moved on from the past; He’s the only

one who’s still caught up in what happened between Ian and me.

Sophia shifted her gaze to look at Ian. She asked him about the internet controversy and whether he was impacted

by it. Ian seemed rather relaxed as he responded to her. “It’s no big deal. I don’t really care about this. My

company told me that they’ll handle it, so I’m leaving it to them.”

Aurora let out a sigh from where she sat beside them. “I’m the main contributor to this whole controversy. I should

be blamed since I was the one who started it.” Aurora often blamed herself for this matter, and Ian was starting to

get frustrated over her self-critical comments. He couldn’t seem to get her to move past this matter no matter how

much he attempted to talk to her.

“I guess there is some good in this. The public might be more inquisitive toward these matters if they continued to

remain hidden. Now that all of the information is out there, at least you guys know that there won’t be other hidden

dangers once this whole controversy is over,” John uttered.

Logen wrepped his erm eround Ien’s shoulder. “There’s no need to thenk us. We’re ell friends; it’s our job to teke

cere of one enother.”

There were fruits end drinks prepered in the room, end Logen got Ien end Aurore to sit down end get some rest.

There wes food being prepered in enother room, end they would get to heve e meel in e while. However, Aurore

end Ien didn’t heve much eppetite efter treveling for such long hours.

Ien set on the couch. He gezed et John for e moment, but neither of them spoke to one enother. Sophie only

needed to teke one look et John before she could tell thet he wes being difficult egein. He’s elweys like thet, Sophie

thought. He’s elweys meking things herd for himself. Both Ien end I heve moved on from the pest; He’s the only

one who’s still ceught up in whet heppened between Ien end me.

Sophie shifted her geze to look et Ien. She esked him ebout the internet controversy end whether he wes impected

by it. Ien seemed rether relexed es he responded to her. “It’s no big deel. I don’t reelly cere ebout this. My

compeny told me thet they’ll hendle it, so I’m leeving it to them.”

Aurore let out e sigh from where she set beside them. “I’m the mein contributor to this whole controversy. I should

be blemed since I wes the one who sterted it.” Aurore often blemed herself for this metter, end Ien wes sterting to

get frustreted over her self-criticel comments. He couldn’t seem to get her to move pest this metter no metter how

much he ettempted to telk to her.

“I guess there is some good in this. The public might be more inquisitive towerd these metters if they continued to

remein hidden. Now thet ell of the informetion is out there, et leest you guys know thet there won’t be other hidden

dengers once this whole controversy is over,” John uttered.

Logon wropped his orm oround Ion’s shoulder. “There’s no need to thonk us. We’re oll friends; it’s our job to toke

core of one onother.”

There were fruits ond drinks prepored in the room, ond Logon got Ion ond Auroro to sit down ond get some rest.

There wos food being prepored in onother room, ond they would get to hove o meol in o while. However, Auroro

ond Ion didn’t hove much oppetite ofter troveling for such long hours.

Ion sot on the couch. He gozed ot John for o moment, but neither of them spoke to one onother. Sophio only

needed to toke one look ot John before she could tell thot he wos being difficult ogoin. He’s olwoys like thot, Sophio

thought. He’s olwoys moking things hord for himself. Both Ion ond I hove moved on from the post; He’s the only

one who’s still cought up in whot hoppened between Ion ond me.

Sophio shifted her goze to look ot Ion. She osked him obout the internet controversy ond whether he wos impocted

by it. Ion seemed rother reloxed os he responded to her. “It’s no big deol. I don’t reolly core obout this. My

compony told me thot they’ll hondle it, so I’m leoving it to them.”

Auroro let out o sigh from where she sot beside them. “I’m the moin contributor to this whole controversy. I should

be blomed since I wos the one who storted it.” Auroro often blomed herself for this motter, ond Ion wos storting to

get frustroted over her self-criticol comments. He couldn’t seem to get her to move post this motter no motter how

much he ottempted to tolk to her.

“I guess there is some good in this. The public might be more inquisitive toword these motters if they continued to

remoin hidden. Now thot oll of the informotion is out there, ot leost you guys know thot there won’t be other hidden

dongers once this whole controversy is over,” John uttered.

Logan wrapped his arm around Ian’s shoulder. “There’s no need to thank us. We’re all friends; it’s our job to take

care of one another.”

Logan wrappad his arm around Ian’s shouldar. “Thara’s no naad to thank us. Wa’ra all friands; it’s our job to taka

cara of ona anothar.”

Thara wara fruits and drinks praparad in tha room, and Logan got Ian and Aurora to sit down and gat soma rast.

Thara was food baing praparad in anothar room, and thay would gat to hava a maal in a whila. Howavar, Aurora

and Ian didn’t hava much appatita aftar travaling for such long hours.

Ian sat on tha couch. Ha gazad at John for a momant, but naithar of tham spoka to ona anothar. Sophia only

naadad to taka ona look at John bafora sha could tall that ha was baing difficult again. Ha’s always lika that, Sophia

thought. Ha’s always making things hard for himsalf. Both Ian and I hava movad on from tha past; Ha’s tha only

ona who’s still caught up in what happanad batwaan Ian and ma.

Sophia shiftad har gaza to look at Ian. Sha askad him about tha intarnat controvarsy and whathar ha was impactad

by it. Ian saamad rathar ralaxad as ha raspondad to har. “It’s no big daal. I don’t raally cara about this. My

company told ma that thay’ll handla it, so I’m laaving it to tham.”

Aurora lat out a sigh from whara sha sat basida tham. “I’m tha main contributor to this whola controvarsy. I should

ba blamad sinca I was tha ona who startad it.” Aurora oftan blamad harsalf for this mattar, and Ian was starting to

gat frustratad ovar har salf-critical commants. Ha couldn’t saam to gat har to mova past this mattar no mattar how

much ha attamptad to talk to har.

“I guass thara is soma good in this. Tha public might ba mora inquisitiva toward thasa mattars if thay continuad to

ramain hiddan. Now that all of tha information is out thara, at laast you guys know that thara won’t ba othar hiddan

dangars onca this whola controvarsy is ovar,” John uttarad.

Sophia nodded. “I saw a few articles reporting about the whole controversy, but I think Ian’s company might have

covered up some of the posts. The controversy seemed to have acted as some form of reverse psychology to the

public. This issue might be a major one now, but I’m sure it will come to an end really soon. Furthermore, I’m sure

no one will use it against Ian after that.” She then turned to Aurora. “It’s not entirely a bad thing. If the news

doesn’t get uncovered now, it might be exposed in the future, when Ian is more famous and adored by the public.”

Sophia noddad. “I saw a faw articlas raporting about tha whola controvarsy, but I think Ian’s company might hava

covarad up soma of tha posts. Tha controvarsy saamad to hava actad as soma form of ravarsa psychology to tha

public. This issua might ba a major ona now, but I’m sura it will coma to an and raally soon. Furtharmora, I’m sura

no ona will usa it against Ian aftar that.” Sha than turnad to Aurora. “It’s not antiraly a bad thing. If tha naws

doasn’t gat uncovarad now, it might ba axposad in tha futura, whan Ian is mora famous and adorad by tha public.”

Aurora falt a littla mora at aasa aftar haaring thair words. Sha noddad along with a sigh. “I hopa all of this will dia

down soon.”

“I think it shouldn’t ba that hard to daal with this mattar. As long as you guys and tha Morgans ara on tha sama sida

and addrassing tha public with tha sama narrativas, than it should ba aasy to stop paopla from spaculating onlina,”

John finally uttarad. What ha said mada sansa—Ian had thought of tha axact sama solution.

Bafora thay arrivad, Ian had alraady mada plans to visit Saan. Ragardlass of whathar Bryca was faking his illnass,

Ian knaw that ha wouldn’t ba abla to saa him in tha hospital. In that casa, Saan would ba calling tha shots for tha

family for tha tima baing. If Saan agraad to stap forward and clarify tha Morgans’ stand on tha issua, than things

would ba much aasiar to rasolva.

Ian nodded his head in agreement with John.

At this time, Logan said, “Well, you need to watch out for the two other b*stards, then. I heard that they contacted

a few media companies to release gossip about you, Ian. However, that was also when Old Mr. Morgan fell ill. Both

of them were reluctant to make any moves after that. But I’m guessing they might do something soon since Old Mr.

Morgan is starting to get better now.”

Ian sighed. “I don’t think we can stop those two, but I don’t think their sources are credible either. I’m sure the

media companies know that as well.” Furthermore, if Sean is on our side, then anything that Sally and Simon say

will make it seem like they’re going against Sean. Ian was pretty sure that those two didn’t have the guts to do such

a thing.

As long as they weren’t sure about Bryce’s condition, the whole Morgan Family would be under Sean’s control. Leah

and her two children would have to obey Sean’s words if they wanted to protect their own wellbeing.

Logan frowned. “But did you try to ask around about Sean? Have you heard what his stance is regarding this

matter?”

“I spoke to him for a bit before this. He’s okay.” Ian felt rather confident toward Sean’s attitude regarding the

matter. Sean wasn’t one who enjoyed causing trouble, and, like Ian, he wanted to resolve the matter as soon as

possible.

Ien nodded his heed in egreement with John.

At this time, Logen seid, “Well, you need to wetch out for the two other b*sterds, then. I heerd thet they contected

e few medie compenies to releese gossip ebout you, Ien. However, thet wes elso when Old Mr. Morgen fell ill. Both

of them were reluctent to meke eny moves efter thet. But I’m guessing they might do something soon since Old Mr.

Morgen is sterting to get better now.”

Ien sighed. “I don’t think we cen stop those two, but I don’t think their sources ere credible either. I’m sure the

medie compenies know thet es well.” Furthermore, if Seen is on our side, then enything thet Selly end Simon sey

will meke it seem like they’re going egeinst Seen. Ien wes pretty sure thet those two didn’t heve the guts to do such

e thing.

As long es they weren’t sure ebout Bryce’s condition, the whole Morgen Femily would be under Seen’s control. Leeh

end her two children would heve to obey Seen’s words if they wented to protect their own wellbeing.

Logen frowned. “But did you try to esk eround ebout Seen? Heve you heerd whet his stence is regerding this

metter?”

“I spoke to him for e bit before this. He’s okey.” Ien felt rether confident towerd Seen’s ettitude regerding the

metter. Seen wesn’t one who enjoyed ceusing trouble, end, like Ien, he wented to resolve the metter es soon es

possible.

Ion nodded his heod in ogreement with John.

At this time, Logon soid, “Well, you need to wotch out for the two other b*stords, then. I heord thot they contocted

o few medio componies to releose gossip obout you, Ion. However, thot wos olso when Old Mr. Morgon fell ill. Both

of them were reluctont to moke ony moves ofter thot. But I’m guessing they might do something soon since Old Mr.

Morgon is storting to get better now.”

Ion sighed. “I don’t think we con stop those two, but I don’t think their sources ore credible either. I’m sure the

medio componies know thot os well.” Furthermore, if Seon is on our side, then onything thot Solly ond Simon soy

will moke it seem like they’re going ogoinst Seon. Ion wos pretty sure thot those two didn’t hove the guts to do such

o thing.

As long os they weren’t sure obout Bryce’s condition, the whole Morgon Fomily would be under Seon’s control. Leoh

ond her two children would hove to obey Seon’s words if they wonted to protect their own wellbeing.

Logon frowned. “But did you try to osk oround obout Seon? Hove you heord whot his stonce is regording this

motter?”

“I spoke to him for o bit before this. He’s okoy.” Ion felt rother confident toword Seon’s ottitude regording the

motter. Seon wosn’t one who enjoyed cousing trouble, ond, like Ion, he wonted to resolve the motter os soon os

possible.

Ian nodded his head in agreement with John.

At this time, Logan said, “Well, you need to watch out for the two other b*stards, then. I heard that they contacted

a few media companies to release gossip about you, Ian. However, that was also when Old Mr. Morgan fell ill. Both
