Chapter 1662 Shock
Cindy was reeling from the shock, and she was about to break out in a cold sweat. However, she remained in her position and didn’t even move a muscle. She didn’t black out the night before, so she remembered coming into the room. She had already forgotten about Ian back then, let alone about the issue of who slept where.
Ian was holding her too tightly for her to break free. A frown appeared on her forehead as she started panicking about the situation. Luckily for her, Ian rolled over after a while and let her go.
Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly turned her back toward him and stayed still in case he was awake.
That was a smart move. Ian rolled over again a while later, then he woke up. The bed rustled, so Cindy knew he was slowly sitting up.
She couldn’t see his face, but she knew he must be as shocked as she was.
Ian sat on the bed for a while before going out of the room, then Cindy heaved a sigh of relief.
That was crazy. I knew I shouldn’t have had any alcohol. That’s a recipe for disaster. But when she recalled the dinner, she realized she would have had to drink no matter what. Sophia was being a good host, so if she didn’t drink, it’d look like Cindy didn’t like her. If Sophia was even a bit paranoid, she would think that Cindy was angry about her history with Ian. Cindy heaved another sigh and covered her head with the blanket.
The silver lining here was that Ian and her woke up at different times. If they woke up at the same moment, it’d be awkward for them.
Ian was standing outside the door with his fists clenched. For some reason, his breathing was ragged, and his heart was racing.
There was no sound coming from Aurora’s room. She was probably still sleeping since the entire house was quiet.
He looked down at his hands. He could still feel the sensation of holding Cindy in his arms when he woke up just now. A while later, he turned around to look at the door.
He had drank too much last night. All he could remember was changing into his pajamas and going to bed. He didn’t even remember when Cindy came in.
Ian scratched his head. His head was foggy from the hangover when he woke up, but he was sober now. He then went to take a shower and walked around the living room in his pajamas. However, in the end, he quietly went back to the bedroom.
Cindy was awake. She couldn’t possibly sleep after what just happened. But since she didn’t hear Aurora waking up, she didn’t go out, for she couldn’t face Ian. When she heard him opening the door, Cindy closed her eyes nervously.
Fortunately, Ian didn’t do anything to her. All he did was take his clothes, then went out again. A minute after he closed the door, she rolled over and opened her eyes by a millimeter to look at the door.
The situation was obvious for everyone to see. Even if Ian was groggy after waking up, he would be aware that they slept together last night. God, this is awkward. How can I even look at him later? How can I act like I don’t know anything about this? She tossed and turned on the bed until she heard Aurora’s voice outside.
Aurora was yawning, and she sounded sleepy. “You’re early. Are you hungry? Why don’t I make something for you?”
Cindy listened closely. Aurora’s awake. Should I go out? But it’ll still be awkward. The place isn’t too big, and the living room’s connected everywhere. I’ll have to see him no matter where I stand if I go out.
