The Returning Ex

Chapter 1404

After a pause, Ian asked, “What did they uncover?” He even took out his phone to check on the Internet, which surprised both Cindy and the driver, as they thought that Ian would never care about the rumors online. No matter what they told him, he always maintained a nonchalant attitude, so it was their first time seeing him getting all anxious.

Cindy sat down beside the driver while asking in a lowered voice, “What did they find? Let me see.”

Upon stealing a glance at Ian, the driver took out his phone as well. Soon enough, he found the articles and showed them to Cindy. Keeping her reactions to the bare minimum, Cindy read through the article while keeping a close eye on Ian.

In fact, they didn’t dig up anything of substance, as they were nothing but photos of Ian and other people. Most of the photos were sneak shots of Ian and the Morgans, as well as when he was dining with friends. There were a few photos that were more conspicuous, as they were not sneak shots, but selfies. They consisted mostly of photos of three people, with one of them being Ian himself, as well as one other man and one other lady.

Judging from the background of the photo, the three of them were dining together. Although Ian wasn’t looking into the camera, he was smiling. Truth be told, nobody could find anything wrong in such a simple photo, so Cindy was a little taken aback. “Is that all?”

The driver nodded in response. “Yeah. That’s all.”

Cindy looked closer at the photos. While nobody really cared about the people in the sneak shots, his fans had already uncovered the identity of the two who were in the selfies. One of them was Logan Jefferson, while the other was Sophia Gwendolyn.

Logan was a playboy who hailed from a rich family, but he got married after recently seeing the error in his previous ways. Meanwhile, Sophia was from a poor family, but she managed to find herself a rich

husband, and she got married even earlier than Logan. By now, she already had a child of her own.

Both of them were on different ends of the spectrum. In a lowered voice, Cindy commented, “Since the woman is now married, they must be just friends.”

The driver thought so too. “Judging from when her baby was born, she must already be pregnant when Ian joined the talent show, so she couldn’t possibly be his girlfriend.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

In the meantime, Ian was also reading through the article on his phone. He figured that the photo was taken from either Sophia or Logan’s social media. Also, he recognized the photo as being taken when they were having a meal in Sophia’s house.

Ian couldn’t help but recall what happened back in those days. At that time, he used to think that he might have a chance with her, only to realize that Sophia never saw him in a romantic light to begin with. The information that his fans dug out wasn’t worth much. Now that Sophia was married, they ruled her out as a possible candidate as his girlfriend. At the same time, however, they weren’t able to pinpoint anybody else from the other sneak shots.

Relief washed over Ian when he put his phone aside. “Alright. That’s enough for tonight. We will have to check with Hannah tomorrow about the agency’s arrangements regarding this.”

The driver put his phone away too before the three of them began eating. They were already used to their gatherings like this, so none of them felt awkward as they enjoyed themselves while talking about the upper hand they gained over Sena.

However, Cindy could sense that something was weighing on Ian’s heart. Although he was just as taciturn, he was obviously not in the best of moods. After dinner, the driver left, whereas Cindy returned to her own room after cleaning up the table.

She got a call from Hannah as soon as she arrived at her room, which she picked up while assuming it was work-related. After talking about irrelevant stuff for some time, Hannah inquired about Cindy’s recent condition and her private life, as well as if her family was worried about her since she was around Ian all day long.

Hannah’s abrupt inquiry confused Cindy, so she asked, “Ms. Jones, is something the matter? I’m doing just fine, so you can ask away.”

Chuckling, Hannah asked, “Cindy, do you have a boyfriend?”

Taken aback, Cindy replied honestly, “No, I don’t.”

She assumed Hannah was worried that her love life might affect her work life, but things took an unexpected turn when Hannah told her, “It’s a pity that someone like you doesn’t have a boyfriend.”
