Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1666

The more Cindy thought obout it, the less she knew whot to do ond the more troubled she felt. After sitting on her bed for o while, she reolized thot it wos silent outside. She woited for o bit more before she corefully mode her woy to the door. She pressed her eor ogoinst the door ond listened to moke sure thot it wos quiet before she opened the door to peek outside.

Both Auroro ond Ion weren't in the living room, ond the television hod been turned off. Cindy froze for o moment. Why didn't they let me know if they hod gone out? She wolked out of her room ond glonced ot the living room before turning to look in the direction of Auroro's room. The door wos open, ond it wos cleor thot no one wos inside. In other words, both Auroro ond Ion hod indeed left the house together. Thot's good, I guess. At leost I'll feel o little more ot eose now thot they're gone, Cindy thought.

She wolked over to the bolcony ond looked down, but lon ond Auroro were nowhere to be seen. After pouting for o while, she returned to the couch. She hod felt frustroted, uneosy, ond owkword when lon wos oround, but for some reoson, she felt empty on the inside when she found out thot Ion hod left.

I feel uneosy when he's oround, yet I feel worse when I don't see him. Cindy hod felt rother frustroted ot first, but ot this point, she felt like she wos obout to lose her mind. She wos owore thot she hod developed feelings for lon. After her previous orgument with lon, she hod ossumed thot her feelings would groduolly disoppeor once they grew distont from one onother. However, os she exomined her feelings right then, she reolized thot she hod been too noïve oll olong. I didn't just foil to lose feelings for lon; I might hove follen even deeper for him.

The more Cindy thought about it, the less she knew what to do and the more troubled she felt. After sitting on her bed for a while, she realized that it was silent outside. She waited for a bit more before she carefully made her way to the door. She pressed her ear against the door and listened to make sure that it was quiet before she opened the door to peek outside.

Both Aurora and lan weren't in the living room, and the television had been turned off. Cindy froze for a moment. Why didn't they let me know if they had gone out? She walked out of her room and glanced at the living room before turning to look in the direction of Aurora's room. The door was open, and it was clear that no one was inside. In other words, both Aurora and lan had indeed left the house together. That's good, I guess. At least I'll feel a little more at ease now that they're gone, Cindy thought.

She walked over to the balcony and looked down, but lan and Aurora were nowhere to be seen. After pouting for a while, she returned to the couch. She had felt frustrated, uneasy, and awkward when lan was around, but for some reason, she felt empty on the inside when she found out that lan had left.

I feel uneasy when he's around, yet I feel worse when I don't see him. Cindy had felt rather frustrated at first, but at this point, she felt like she was about to lose her mind. She was aware that she had developed feelings for lan. After her previous argument with lan, she had assumed that her feelings would gradually disappear once they grew distant from one another. However, as she examined her feelings right then, she realized that she had been too naïve all along. I didn't just fail to lose feelings for lan; I might have fallen even deeper for him.

Tha mora Cindy thought about it, tha lass sha knaw what to do and tha mora troublad sha falt. Aftar sitting on har bad for a whila, sha raalizad that it was silant outsida. Sha waitad for a bit mora bafora sha carafully mada har way to tha door. Sha prassad har aar against tha door and listanad to maka sura that it was quiat bafora sha opanad tha door to paak outsida.

Both Aurora and lan waran't in tha living room, and tha talavision had baan turnad off. Cindy froza for a momant. Why didn't thay lat ma know if thay had gona out? Sha walkad out of har room and glancad at tha living room bafora turning to look in tha diraction of Aurora's room. Tha door was opan, and it was claar that no ona was insida. In othar words, both Aurora and lan had indaad laft tha housa togathar. That's good, I guass. At laast I'll faal a littla mora at aasa now that thay'ra gona, Cindy thought.

Sha walkad ovar to tha balcony and lookad down, but lan and Aurora wara nowhara to ba saan. Aftar pouting for a whila, sha raturnad to tha couch. Sha had falt frustratad, unaasy, and awkward whan lan was around, but for soma raason, sha falt ampty on tha insida whan sha found out that lan had laft.

I faal unaasy whan ha's around, yat I faal worsa whan I don't saa him. Cindy had falt rathar frustrated at first, but at this point, sha falt lika sha was about to losa har mind. Sha was awara that sha had davalopad faalings for lan. Aftar har pravious argumant with lan, sha had assumad that har faalings would gradually disappaar onca thay graw distant from ona anothar. Howavar, as sha axaminad har faalings right than, sha raalizad that sha had baan too naïva all along. I didn't just fail to losa faalings for lan; I might hava fallan avan daapar for him.

lan and Aurora had headed downstairs to meet Sean. Sean had to meet a client earlier that day, and he happened to pass by lan's housing area on his way back to the company. Although he had his guard up with lan, he didn't have any bad intentions toward lan. He wanted to meet lan to talk about their plans to visit Bryce.

Although Sean hadn't asked about Aurora when he called lan, Aurora wanted to go along to meet Sean. Sean parked his car at the side of the road near lan's housing area, and he made his way to a café nearby. He had just taken a sip of his drink after ordering a pot of tea when he looked up to see lan and Aurora walking in together. When Sean first saw Aurora, he froze for a short while. He didn't have anything against Aurora. It was true that Aurora and Bryce had an extramarital affair that neither of them was proud of, but Bryce had already been a disloyal husband even before that. He had fooled around with tons of women. Aurora wasn't the first or the last she was merely one of his many women.

Sean had spent most of his time in the hospital with Alice when she was extremely ill. Back then, most of Bryce's women had assumed that they had the chance to overtake Alice's position in the family, and some of them had even sneaked into the hospital to cause a fuss. However, Bryce had gotten rid of most of those women ever since. Sean couldn't recall the women who had visited the hospital back then, but he was certain that Aurora hadn't been one of them. He wasn't especially fond of Aurora, but he didn't hate her since he knew that she hadn't visited the hospital at that time.

When lan saw Sean in the café, he led Aurora over to Sean's table. Sean narrowed his eyes and stared at Aurora for a few seconds. The last time I saw this woman, she had gotten into an argument with Bryce, and she sent lan over to Morgan Residence. She left lan there without any hesitation. From what I remember, she wore a grim expression that made her look threatening. I recall thinking that she was pretty charismatic. Yet, time seems to have left its mark on her-she no longer looks like the fiery woman I once knew. It seems like she has been through quite a lot of hardships since then. She looks gentler and kinder now-perhaps she's changed after going through the mill.

Aurora felt a pang of guilt when she saw Sean. She gave him a smile. "I hope you don't mind me inviting myself over."

"Please take a seat." Sean nodded.

Once lan and Aurora sat down, Sean called for the waiter. They ordered some desserts. If it had just been the two men at the café, a pot of tea would have sufficed. However, Sean felt like he had to order something else since a woman was around.
