The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2077 Valerie Is Probably One of Them

Cindy's limbs felt somewhat weak then. "I'm really worried that you are endangering yourself," she grumbled.

"You don't know men," Ian replied with a laugh. "Some abilities are god-given. I can't get rid of it, no matter what."

She decided that his nonsense was not worth her time and found a comfortable position before she fell asleep.

It was probably because of Ian's relentless love-making that she managed to fall into a deep sleep.

Her stay at the guesthouse for the last two days always ended with her dreaming in her sleep by the end of the day.

However, her sleep tonight was not interrupted by any dreams and she slept all the way until her body was well-

rested.

By the time that she woke up, Ian was already sound asleep next to her. He seemed to have fallen asleep in

exhaustion as well.

The corners of Cindy's lips slowly lifted into a smile as she looked at him. Thinking that he must have acted the way

he did because he still liked her, and seeing as to how he still wanted her body, she guessed that his heart was

probably still with her.

She couldn't help but acknowledge how wretched she was being, but then, she felt that her thoughts made full

sense.

Still tired after waking up, but not enough for her to fall back to sleep, Cindy didn't move as she rested for a while

longer before she eventually groped for her phone in the dark.

As she was reaching out to get her phone, she noticed that her phone was placed together with Ian's. She hesitated

for a bit before finally deciding to take his phone as well.

Cindy knew the password needed to unlock the phone, but instead of keying it in, she only lit up the screen, where

she saw the screensaver with no notifications of a missed call or unread message.

She eventually put his phone down after thinking for a while. Then, she turned to look at her phone, but even after

scrolling through the articles, she couldn't locate anything that particularly caught her interest. She couldn't stop

herself when she reached for Ian's phone a second time. After gingerly unlocking the phone, she started to go

through his call history.

While Cindy didn't see Valerie's name amongst the different people whom he had been in contact with lately, there

were, however, a few unsaved phone numbers that had been appearing repeatedly within the list.

Valerie is probably one of them, she thought.

She was slightly relieved by the fact that Ian hadn't saved Valerie's number.

Seeing as to how he didn't delete his call history, he most definitely didn't do anything that he would feel guilty

about. Him not saving Valerie's contact was probably also because he didn't see the need for it.

Cindy took a deep breath before exhaling. She then clicked out of the call log and went to his chats on WhatsApp

instead. He didn't have a lot of connections on Whatsapp because he was neither someone who was good at

making friends nor good at maintaining relationships with other people. He wouldn't reach out and chat with others

even if he had added them into his WhatsApp friend list.

She scrolled through the names that had chatted with Ian before and eventually found Valerie's name.

Unlike Valerie's phone number, Ian had saved her name on Whatsapp after Valerie added him on the application.

When Cindy discovered that, she let out a small noise of dissatisfaction. After she clicked into the chat, she noticed

that Ian hadn't deleted their conversations. She was able to read everything that Valerie and Ian had ever texted

each other about.

Fortunately, there wasn't anything suspicious that Cindy could find from their conversation.

Most of the conversation was work-related whereas the others were about Ian being hospitalized after getting hurt,

or Valerie asking about his recuperation and later discharge from the hospital.

After that, she went to Valerie's profile page on Facebook where there wasn't a lot about her updates being publicly

divulged there. It appeared that she wasn't someone who posted a lot on Facebook.

Some of the other posts that she had penned was to promote the new drama that she starred in.

From what Cindy had read so far, Ian and Valerie didn't seem to be in any sort of unusual relationship with each

other.

After she had seen enough and clicked out of the application, Cindy placed Ian's phone aside.

I'm thinking too much, she glumly thought as she rubbed her forehead. She was starting to feel upset again. I'm

getting too sensitive.

She swiftly turned her body to the other side and wrapped her arms around Ian's bare torso. After their vigorous

activity in bed, they were too lazy to wear their clothes again and had both fallen asleep—naked and exhausted.

Then, Cindy placed her leg on top of his before she started rubbing against him. An uncontrollable urge

overwhelmed her afterward and she tilted her head to plant a kiss on his chin.

At this moment, Ian had woken up and in his drowsy state, he lifted his palm and dropped it on her bottom. "I'm too

tired for this. I can't do it again. We can do it later if you want," he mumbled, to which she immediately chided.

"Pfft, stop it with your nonsense."

He wasn't the only one who was tired. In fact, she actually felt like she was more exhausted than he was. Their

lovemaking sessions had always ended with her feeling like she was one step away from dying whereas Ian would

regain his energy soon after.
