Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1698

Cindy nodded. They went into the car and after she fastened her seatbelt, she said, “I also read that
aside from Logan and Sophia, you didn’t have a lot of friends. You must have felt lonely back then.”

Ian was pensive for a moment, but without reading too much into Cindy’s remark, he replied, “It was
fine by me. I’ve never been a fan of large crowds anyway.” Then, he gave a low chuckle. “Sophia and I
haven’t known each other that long. I used to do bar gigs back in the day and I met her on one of her
travels.”

He started the car and pulled away from the curb. As they drove down the road, he appeared to have
thought of something and it made him chuckle fondly as he added, “I remember she had only just
divorced from John a couple of days before I met her. She was traveling to kind of drown out the
melodrama, but she ended up staying in the same hotel as John since he happened to be traveling for
work at that time as well.”

There was a genuine smile on Ian’s face as he recounted such anecdotes about John and Sophia. No
longer did he feel any resentment or grudge.

On the other hand, Cindy had never stumbled across the news of John and Sophia’s divorce back in
the day. On the contrary, the media outlets had intended on broadcasting the details of Sophia’s
alleged scandal with Ian instead. Cindy had no interest in Sophia whatsoever, so she hardly paid
attention to Sophia.

Presently, she raised a brow as she pointed out, “I didn’t know they were divorced. I mean, they look
pretty happy with each other.”

He sighed ruefully. “It wasn’t always like this. Some people just won’t appreciate what they have until



they’ve lost them.”

Confusion dawned upon her. “Are you saying that things were rocky for them in the beginning?”

The details of John and Sophia’s first marriage were foggy to Ian, but he tried his best to enlighten
Cindy nonetheless. “Theirs started out as an arranged marriage by their parents. They never dated
before that, so I guess all their flaws and differences made things hard for them in the beginning.”

Cindy slowly nodded. “When I saw them the other day, I really thought that they dated for a while
before settling down. They looked really happy together.”

“They only started to mend their relationship after the divorce,” Ian said, refuting her beliefs with a
shake of his head. “Or, maybe the attachment was formed during their first marriage but they never
realized it. It was only after they separated that they discovered how intertwined their lives were, but
stuff like that is more common than you might think.”

An absentminded Cindy hummed and didn’t add more to the conversation. She thought Ian sounded
rather unaffected when she brought up Sophia’s name earlier and she didn’t hear regret in his tone
either.

Logan’s words from back at the clubhouse flashed in her mind. She didn’t want to believe him, but
seeing Ian like this made her believe that Logan was worthy of some credit.

It didn’t take long for them to arrive home and they entered the house to find Aurora lying on the couch
in a miserable heap.

She only peered at Cindy and Ian from the corner of her eyes as they walked in, but she quickly looked



away and returned to stare at the ceiling.

The television had not been turned on and the house was clad in a heavy silence.

Cindy walked up to Aurora and asked, “What’s with the long face?”

Aurora sighed wearily, her eyes still trained on the ceiling as she mumbled, “Nothing. I just realized how
meaningless life can be. It’s like I can’t do anything right.”

At the mention of this, Cindy instantly understood why Aurora was being all melancholic. A brief pause
later, she smiled and responded, “Don’t look so defeated. There’s still plenty of time for you to turn
things around. Besides, I was at the hospital too and saw how delicate and vulnerable Old Mr. Morgan
looked. I don’t think he’s doing very well with his treatment, but he’s so stubborn he won’t let anyone
take care of him. He’s probably just bracing through the pain. A little patience goes a long way and
maybe your chance to get back at him is just right around the corner!”

Aurora was not convinced, but Cindy’s words gave her solace. With a despondent hum, she said, “I just
don’t know how long I have to stay here. What if nothing changes by the time we leave? I can’t just wait
around for his downfall before I drop by to deliberately gloat in front of him; he’s not worth it.”

Then, she propped herself up on the couch and curiously glanced at Ian, “What did you and your father
talk about?”

Ian made a beeline for his bedroom. “Not much. I told him that the media might tag along with me to
snap a couple of photos during the next visit and that I’ll give him a heads up before the news breaks.”



Aurora leapt down from the couch and tailed after him, coming to a stop outside his bedroom entrance.
“Did he get mad when you told him that the media would snap a couple of photos?”
