The Returning Ex

Chapter 1415

Without a word, John smiled, whereas Sophia read through a few more articles before letting out a yawn. She now pretty much led a carefree life that consisted of a daily schedule of her filling up her stomach, having fun and sleeping. There were times she couldn’t help but feel like she was a baby herself.

On the other hand, John was walking around while carrying the baby. After some time, he turned around to look at Sophia. “You should get some sleep upstairs if you’re tired. I’ll go get you when it’s time for dinner.”

Standing up from where she sat, Sophia stretched out as she spoke. “Last night, Dad wanted me to tell you to go back to work if you have time. You shouldn’t be staying at home all day.”

“Why is that so?” John didn’t think it was unreasonable at all. “Just so you know, I’m working as a househusband, so I’m not lazing around while at home. Don’t you dare look down on my profession.”

Frowning, Sophia stared at him for a while before leaving for upstairs. “Fine. I’m not going to waste time bickering with you since you always have these silly comebacks.”

All the while, John was petting the baby while asking playfully, “I’m sure you want your daddy to keep you company as well, right?”

When Sophia got to the second floor, she glanced down from upstairs to see John holding the baby professionally while petting him. He looked like a househusband indeed, and the sight of it brought a smile to Sophia’s face when she entered her room. Upon lying down on bed, she took out her phone again to check on the latest gossip.

Although there were a lot of articles about Ian, she missed out on them as she didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry. Netizens uncovered photos of instances when Ian was being

seen together with his assistant, while other photos showed them in matching outfits on different occasions. These were being taken as early signs that indicated that they were in a relationship.

Sophia spent some time staring at Cindy’s photo. With an innocence about her, Cindy seemed like a kind woman. Sophia trusted her first impression of Cindy, as she believed that a person’s appearance was an outward projection of their inner character.

It would be nice if Cindy ends up getting together with Ian, she thought. She always felt a sense of guilt toward Ian. Upon checking the comments section under the articles, she realized that while there were both positive and negative comments, there were quite a number of people in general who supported Ian. After reading for a while longer, she put her phone away. Heaving a sigh, she rolled over and shut her eyes.

Meanwhile, Ian was still the center of attention, so the paparazzis were hot on his heels throughout the day. Initially, the paparazzis would put some distance while tailing them, but upon noticing that Ian wasn’t trying to hide from them, they began tailing him openly behind his car.

On the other hand, Cindy watched them from the rearview mirror while sitting in the car. She found the whole situation a little bizarre. Ever since she was a kid, she never stood out among the crowd. She was used to being ignored while standing behind a crowd, so the sudden change made her feel a bit uneasy.

After Ian was finished with work, the driver drove them home, but before arriving at their community, Cindy made a request. “Let’s stop by at a mall. I would like to buy some stuff, as we have nothing in the fridge. I suppose we will be staying at Ian’s place for some time, so we should buy some necessities.”

Nodding, Ian didn’t object to Cindy’s suggestion. “Sure.”

The driver steered the car to slowly stop in front of the mall. As soon as he did so, Cindy was about to hop off alone, but Ian got out of the car as well after putting on a cap and a face mask, which surprised her.

Before she could say anything, Ian gave her a pat on the shoulder while pressing his cap lower. “Let’s go.” With that, he led the way into the mall, whereas Cindy checked the roadside to see that the paparazzis were still tailing them. Even after Ian covered himself up, it didn’t stop them from taking photos of him.
