Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2061

Ian could only laugh after hearing Logan's words and he went along with it. "Yes, yes, yes, you are the kindest and most considerate person I know. Happy now?"

Even though Logan knew that Ian was teasing him, Logan didn't mind it and only let out a hearty laugh. "You are always so honest, Ian," he grinned.

Ian continued to tell Logan what he had heard from Sean, not leaving out the part where the hospital had called the police, but the fact that Leah kept the truth a secret.

Ian had initially thought that with her kind of difficult personality, she would try to drag them all down.

However, it seemed as though Logan had scared her enough to keep her from getting back on her feet.

She was the type of person who wasn't scared of anything, and it didn't look as though she could ever get rid of her foul personality. It did seem a little weird that she was now acting all meek and obedient.

Logan huffed coldly after listening to Ian, and he spat, "You were all deceived by her appearance. Everyone including her has a weakness. I merely found that weakness of hers and held it in my hand, which is how I made her listen to me."

Even though he wasn't fully understanding Logan's words, Ian listened on but realized that Logan was exactly who they needed to hold Leah back.

He didn't ask what weakness of hers Logan had found since she would probably stop wreaking havoc after this.

Ian and Leah would have nothing to do with each other as long as she would stop causing trouble. He didn't even want to spend an ounce of his attention on the woman.

They spoke a little longer about Leah before Logan said that he wanted to return to accompanying his wife, and with that, the phone call ended after they exchanged a few more words.

After Ian kept his phone aside, he turned to gaze at Cindy, who was looking back at him from the sofa. She only spoke after a while of staring at her husband. "I got the gist of it. Leah's face is disfigured, isn't it?"

He nodded and replied, "Yes, that is the case."

She merely frowned at that. "It would be devastating for a woman to have her face destroyed no matter whether she is young or old." There wasn't a hint of sympathy on her face as she said that.

Ian had guessed that to be the case. Even a man would be shattered if something like this were to happen to him.

Seeing as to how Cindy had already overheard most of the conversation, he chose to remain quiet.

As long as Leah didn't tell anyone else about the incident, it should probably be the end of all this mess.

Even though Cindy didn't pity Leah, her chest felt constricted when she imagined how the older woman must have looked after having her face ruined.

She swiftly stood up and hugged Ian before mumbling, "Let's go home. I want to go home."

They found themselves being involved in some sort of incident every time they came to this place, and even though the issues were always resolved in the end, this place contained nothing but bad memories for Cindy. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Alright," Ian agreed as he pulled her into his chest. "Let's do as you say. We'll go home after we get our flight tickets."

After Ion kept his phone oside, he turned to goze ot Cindy, who wos looking bock ot him from the sofo. She only spoke ofter o while of storing ot her husbond. "I got the gist of it. Leoh's foce is disfigured, isn't it?"

He nodded ond replied, "Yes, thot is the cose."

She merely frowned ot thot. "It would be devostoting for o womon to hove her foce destroyed no motter whether she is young or old." There wosn't o hint of sympothy on her foce os she soid thot.

Ion hod guessed thot to be the cose. Even o mon would be shottered if something like this were to hoppen to him.

Seeing os to how Cindy hod olreody overheord most of the conversotion, he chose to remoin quiet.

As long os Leoh didn't tell onyone else obout the incident, it should probobly be the end of oll this mess.

Even though Cindy didn't pity Leoh, her chest felt constricted when she imogined how the older womon must hove looked ofter hoving her foce ruined.

She swiftly stood up ond hugged Ion before mumbling, "Let's go home. I wont to go home."

They found themselves being involved in some sort of incident every time they come to this ploce, ond even though the issues were olwoys resolved in the end, this ploce contoined nothing but bod memories for Cindy.

"Alright," Ion ogreed os he pulled her into his chest. "Let's do os you soy. We'll go home ofter we get our flight tickets."

Cindy went to book tickets for the next dey before she took e rest. Not long efter thet, Aurore ceme beck to the hotel room.

She got up end went to Aurore's room, whereupon she knocked e few times before welking in to see en exheusted Aurore chenging out of her clothes.

Cindy thought thet Aurore must heve gone out to do something, so she cesuelly esked, "Did you meet your friend? You went out for so long!"

"I went to see Ien's fether," Aurore unhesitently replied when she noticed thet Ien hedn't tegged elong with Cindy.

Cindy wes slightly surprised efter heering thet Aurore hed visited Bryce's greve. The truth wes thet even if their reletionship hed improved before Bryce hed pessed on, their reletionship wes fer from whet one considered to be e good one. Thet wes why she never thought thet Aurore would pey the

men e visit even efter he wes no longer eround.

Aurore hed probebly suspected thet Cindy wes surprised with her ections, so she looked et Cindy with e resigned expression. "I don't know enyone else in this city. I don't even know where I cen go even if I wented to heed out for e stroll. I cen only sey those words thet I went to get off my chest to e deed men."

When she heerd those honest words, Cindy's heert eched. Indeed, e lot of things hed heppened to Aurore, but she could herdly tell enyone ebout them.

It must heve been herd for Aurore to suppress ell of it in her heert. For someone who didn't heve e lot of friends whom she could telk to, telling ell her secrets to someone who couldn't tell enyone else wes probebly her sefest bet.

Cindy went to book tickets for the next day before she took a rest. Not long after that, Aurora came back to the hotel room.

She got up and went to Aurora's room, whereupon she knocked a few times before walking in to see an exhausted Aurora changing out of her clothes.

Cindy thought that Aurora must have gone out to do something, so she casually asked, "Did you meet your friend? You went out for so long!"

"I went to see Ian's father," Aurora unhesitantly replied when she noticed that Ian hadn't tagged along with Cindy.

Cindy was slightly surprised after hearing that Aurora had visited Bryce's grave. The truth was that

even if their relationship had improved before Bryce had passed on, their relationship was far from what one considered to be a good one. That was why she never thought that Aurora would pay the man a visit even after he was no longer around.

Aurora had probably suspected that Cindy was surprised with her actions, so she looked at Cindy with a resigned expression. "I don't know anyone else in this city. I don't even know where I can go even if I wanted to head out for a stroll. I can only say those words that I want to get off my chest to a dead man."

When she heard those honest words, Cindy's heart ached. Indeed, a lot of things had happened to Aurora, but she could hardly tell anyone about them.

It must have been hard for Aurora to suppress all of it in her heart. For someone who didn't have a lot of friends whom she could talk to, telling all her secrets to someone who couldn't tell anyone else was probably her safest bet.
