Chapter 1602 Indecisive
Aurora agreed with Cindy’s point. “I told Ian about it, but he just told me not to worry. He said that things would be
more interesting if a twist happened at the end, but I have no idea what he meant by that. I don’t know if he
actually has evidence that will turn the tables or if he was just trying to make me feel better.”
Ian said the same thing in the past. He said that it was sometimes better to only reveal the evidence at the very
end because it would come as an unexpected smack to the other party’s face. But the tables did end up turning the
last time he said those words… How confident is he this time? “Let’s hope that he actually has evidence,” she
mumbled.
Aurora didn’t want to talk about the news on the Internet as it only made her feel more frustrated. She changed
the topic to ask about Cindy and whether anyone at home was causing her any trouble. At that moment, Cindy

to broach the subject, Cindy thought. Their mother-daughter relationship was more polite than the relationship
between two strangers.
Naturally, Cindy responded to Aurora’s question with a firm ‘no’. “Everything’s fine at home,” Cindy added.
“How long are you planning to stay there? When are you coming back?” Aurora asked.
Cindy struggled to answer Aurora’s question. She hadn’t made any plans ever since she arrived home, and she
didn’t know how long she was going to stay there. Ultimately, it would all depend on how quickly Ian’s matters could
be settled. If he got it done quickly, then she would head back earlier to hand over her work. If he needed more
time, then she would stay at home for a while longer.
Cindy hadn’t told Aurora about her resignation, and she felt that it wasn’t right to tell Aurora through the call. “I’m
not sure how long I’ll be staying here. My mom misses me, so I might stay home a few more days if there isn’t
much to do at the company.” Cindy came up with an excuse instead.
Aurora nodded on the other end of the line. “That’s good. You haven’t been home in a while. You should spend
more time with them.” They were both speechless for a moment after that, and Aurora finally spoke up after a few
seconds of silence. “Ian told me that he’ll be traveling these two days. I’m not sure if he told you about it, but I
heard that he put all his jobs on hold. I think he wants a break.”
Ian hadn’t told Cindy anything about this. “Oh. I guess it would be good for him to take a break. Everyone’s probably
stressed out because of all the things going on. It’s wise,” she commented.
“I’m not sure what you guys talked about that day. He seemed really down when he was back. I don’t think the
media reports and articles affected him that much—it seemed like he was more impacted by the fight you guys
had,” Aurora said.
The corner of Cindy’s lips curled upward upon hearing Aurora. However, Cindy didn’t say anything else as she felt
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike no one else would understand the fight between Ian and her. She didn’t know how to explain it either.
Aurora had no choice but to drop the topic when she realized that Cindy wasn’t willing to speak about it. Aurora had
provided a lot of input regarding Cindy and Ian’s matters, but she felt like her advice didn’t work at all. She
understood that she might make things worse if she pushed her limits, so she chose to take a step back instead.
“Alright. It’s getting late. You should get some rest since you’ve been traveling for the past two days. You must be
exhausted.”
Cindy nodded. “You should get some rest too. Take care!” They got off the call after that. Cindy put her phone into
her pocket and slipped both her hands into her pockets. The night breeze was rather strong, and she felt as if her
face was turning into ice.
For a brief moment, Cindy considered checking up on Ian to see if he was impacted by the news. However, she
figured that Aurora was probably exaggerating Ian’s sadness and moodiness on purpose. In the end, Cindy decided
that she wouldn’t contact him. His well-being shouldn’t matter to me, anyway. The more I ask about it, the more it
will make me seem like I’m the indecisive one who can’t let go of him.
The next morning, Ian didn’t get out of bed after waking up. Instead, he stared at the ceiling and zoned out for a
while. He didn’t feel like his life had changed that much even though Cindy had been gone for a few days.
