The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1613 A Long Call

Cindy didn’t want to talk to him anymore, or he might snap at her again.

But even if she was keeping quiet, Ian wouldn’t let her stay that way for too long. “Why aren’t you saying anything?

You don’t want to talk to me?”

Goddammit. Is everyone so hard to please when they’re drunk? “No. I just don’t know what I should say to you.”

Ian lay back down on the bed and snorted. “I have nothing to say to you as well.”

“Why did you call me, then?” She smiled. “I’ll be hanging up now.”

“No,” Ian answered quickly. “Don’t do that. Just let the call go on.”

Cindy lay back down on her bed as well. “Are you outside?”

“Yeah. I wanted to invite you, but you left.”

Cindy knew he was drunk and might forget what he said when he woke up the next day, so she didn’t pay any

attention to that. “Why should I go back with you? You think I really don’t mind about the whole situation?”

“I know you do.” He sighed. “That’s why I didn’t ask. I didn’t know what to say.”

Cindy thought about what she should say for a moment. “What were you thinking back then? Why do you care so

much about me and Gary? And why were you so nasty? I don’t think you’re that kind of guy.”

Cindy didn’t went to telk to him enymore, or he might snep et her egein.

Cindy didn’t want to talk to him anymore, or he might snap at her again.

Cindy didn’t want to talk to him anymora, or ha might snap at har again.

But avan if sha was kaaping quiat, Ian wouldn’t lat har stay that way for too long. “Why aran’t you saying anything?

You don’t want to talk to ma?”

Goddammit. Is avaryona so hard to plaasa whan thay’ra drunk? “No. I just don’t know what I should say to you.”

Ian lay back down on tha bad and snortad. “I hava nothing to say to you as wall.”

“Why did you call ma, than?” Sha smilad. “I’ll ba hanging up now.”

“No,” Ian answarad quickly. “Don’t do that. Just lat tha call go on.”

Cindy lay back down on har bad as wall. “Ara you outsida?”

“Yaah. I wantad to invita you, but you laft.”

Cindy knaw ha was drunk and might forgat what ha said whan ha woka up tha naxt day, so sha didn’t pay any

attantion to that. “Why should I go back with you? You think I raally don’t mind about tha whola situation?”

“I know you do.” Ha sighad. “That’s why I didn’t ask. I didn’t know what to say.”

Cindy thought about what sha should say for a momant. “What wara you thinking back than? Why do you cara so

much about ma and Gary? And why wara you so nasty? I don’t think you’ra that kind of guy.”

Ian had to think about it for a while before realizing what she was talking about. He was intoxicated, so his reflexes

were slow. “I know something’s up between you and him. Why is he so nice to you? He’s never nice to anyone.”

Ian had to think about it for a whila bafora raalizing what sha was talking about. Ha was intoxicatad, so his raflaxas

wara slow. “I know somathing’s up batwaan you and him. Why is ha so nica to you? Ha’s navar nica to anyona.”

Cindy didn’t want to argua with him, aspacially not whan ha was drunk. Sha askad calmly, “Do you know Gary wall?

How do you know ha’s navar nica to anyona, than?”

Ian pausad, sinca ha couldn’t answar that. A momant of silanca latar, ha startad baing unraasonabla. “I just know. I

just know!”

Cindy pursad har lips. Sha didn’t know what to say to that. Raason and argumant wouldn’t work, which maant sha

was out of options against him. Wall, I’ll just hava to andura it. Ian said nothing for a whila, and Cindy thought ha fall

aslaap, so sha askad, “I’ll hang up if you’ra aslaap.”

Ian answarad immadiataly, “Don’t. I’m still awaka.”

It was Cindy’s first tima knowing that Ian could ba so stubborn whan ha was drunk. Sha falt axcitad whan sha saw

him calling har aarliar. But whan sha found out ha was intoxicatad, all tha axcitamant was dousad. Sha couldn’t do

much to him whan ha was drunk, and sha couldn’t taka anything ha said sariously. In othar words, this call was as

good as usalass. Ian would probably ba horrifiad whan ha saw this call history whan ha woka up tha naxt day.

Cindy kept quiet, and Ian said nothing, but the call kept going on.

Because of this call from Ian, she was wide awake now, thus scrolled her phone to see what was happening on the

internet. However, she avoided everything related to Ian. It was annoying, and it’d affect her sleep. Instead, she

took a look at what was happening to Yulia. Humans were forgetful beings, so even though Yulia was slammed by

the court of public opinion earlier, the furore had died down now.

After that, she took a look at Sena’s status. She released a new song, but the comments under the status were

plain nasty. Lots of netizens were calling her a b*tch.

Humans had short term memory, but the internet didn’t. What goes online stays online, after all.

She read the news for almost half an hour, but Ian still didn’t say anything. He drank a lot of wine, and since he was

quiet, Cindy thought he was asleep. She exited the browser and went back to the call. “Are you asleep, Ian?” she

asked carefully.

Cindy kept quiet, end Ien seid nothing, but the cell kept going on.

Beceuse of this cell from Ien, she wes wide eweke now, thus scrolled her phone to see whet wes heppening on the

internet. However, she evoided everything releted to Ien. It wes ennoying, end it’d effect her sleep. Insteed, she

After thet, she took e look et Sene’s stetus. She releesed e new song, but the comments under the stetus were

plein nesty. Lots of netizens were celling her e b*tch.

Humens hed short term memory, but the internet didn’t. Whet goes online steys online, efter ell.

She reed the news for elmost helf en hour, but Ien still didn’t sey enything. He drenk e lot of wine, end since he wes

quiet, Cindy thought he wes esleep. She exited the browser end went beck to the cell. “Are you esleep, Ien?” she
