The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 1428

Sophia slumped against John's shoulder, laughing uncontrollably. "Logan, don't you think your old man is deliberately picking fault with you? I think the dream is secondary. Perhaps he just wanted to beat you up."

Chuckling, Lola rubbed Logan's arm. "What did you do to offend him recently?"

Logan had no idea what he did to offend his old man recently. I just chided him for a bit on the phone when he called me a few days ago. There's nothing else. He truly couldn't think of anything, but he didn't think it'd be a grudge over the insignificant chiding. After all, it was several days ago.

After a while, he changed the subject. "Have you all seen the news? lan and his assistant are really together now."

Sophia peered at him out of the corner of her eye. "We've already discussed it at length, yet you're only now giving us the scoop? Isn't it a little too late?"

Logan snorted. "I'm not giving you the scoop. I just want to discuss this with you guys-say, is it possible that lan and his assistant end up together? I think they seem well-matched."

Great minds think alike! Sophia shot him a look. "What a coincidence! We think so, too."

Subsequently, Logan chortled. "I've met that girl before. She has a nice voice, and she's unhurried in everything she does. Furthermore, she's really good at taking care of people. If lan were to get together with her, he'll definitely enjoy a great life."

Upon hearing this, Sophia grew chagrined. "If that's the case, then forget it. Why isn't it the girl enjoying a great life if she gets together with lan? Why is she obligated to take care of him?"

Lola nodded as well. "Yes, I'm of the same opinion. When two people get together, both parties have to make sacrifices. It can't be one of them hoping to improve his life by relying on the other. If that's the case, then they should just scrap it from the beginning itself."

"No, no," Logan denied. "I was merely thinking for lan from a friend's perspective. Perhaps lan will be the one to sacrifice more after they'd gotten together. This is still uncertain." After all, if he truly gets together with Cindy, he'll have to sacrifice more compared to her considering his identity now.

Meanwhile, Cindy helped lan pack up everything and waited for him to finish speaking to Yulia before leaving together. However, she wasn't sure whether it was a problem with the photos or something else, but they were still talking after an eternity had passed.

Waiting while leaning against the makeup table at the side, she then took out her cell phone, only to be greeted by a message from her mother. Probably because Cindy was vexed when she called the previous time, Mrs. Selby didn't call this time but sent her a text message. She'd seen the news on the internet, so she was now asking whether it was true. From the sound of it, she didn't quite believe that Cindy could possibly be involved with lan since she knew her daughter's capabilities.

Cindy stared at the text message for some time without replying, irritation swamping her. She couldn't quite bring herself to outright admit that she was lan's girlfriend, but she couldn't tell her mother the truth either. Telling her mother would be tantamount to telling the whole world, for she'd make it common knowledge in less than two days. Deleting the message, she put her cell phone away and continued waiting. When Yulia spoke with lan, even her eyes were smiling. Ian, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. His gaze was fixed on the photo in the camera. "I trust you, Miss Noble. I've seen the photos you took in the past, so I trust your taste."

Yulia smiled. "You have a calm aura, so I really want to portray that aura. However, I worry that it might not fit your thoughts, so I'd like to ask for your opinion."

lan actually had no opinion at all since he wasn't all that interested in photography. Nevertheless, he certainly couldn't say that, so he put on a gentle smile on his face. "I think all these photos you took are quite good, so I won't presume to know better in front of you."
