The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2178 Contract Expiring
Under those circumstances, Cindy just wanted to get some shuteye, but Ian didn't feel the same, failing to fall asleep. After
waiting for a bit, he asked, "How's your work? Is everything going well?"
Noticing the woman's silence, he looked down and realized she was asleep in his arms. He smiled and gently stroked her back.
Then, he hugged her tighter and kissed her cheek.
Following that, he decided to turn off the lights and get some rest. He was worn out after the intimate session.
Cindy woke up the next morning famished. She was in a hurry during dinner the day before, so she didn't eat much. Moreover,
Ian was energetic in bed, so she consumed more energy than the food could provide.
Feeling weak all over her body, she nuzzled Ian and said in a shaky voice, "I'm thirsty."
Ian woke up in a groggy state, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He got out of bed naked and took a bottle of water
for Cindy. After a moment of hesitation, he also brought her the bread provided in the room.
Cindy sat up on the bed with difficulty. When she saw the things in Ian's hands, she smiled helplessly. "It's all your fault."
Understanding what she meant, Ian nodded. "Yes, it's all my fault. Eat some food first."
Since there were instant noodles in the room, he boiled some water and prepared the food for the woman. After having bread
and water, Cindy felt more comfortable. As she leaned against the headboard and looked at Ian, she felt somewhat bashful.
It was her first time feeling frail after a fun night. She was drained of all her energy. When Ian brought her the instant noodles,
Cindy was no longer hungry. She drank a bit of soup and said, "Help yourself. I'll wait until breakfast."
Ian then sat on the bed and finished the noodles. In truth, he was hungry too.
He couldn't concentrate on having dinner the day before. Since Cindy was there, he just wanted to go back to his room with her
sooner. As such, he only ate a little.
Influenced by the man, Cindy didn't have much food either. As such, she ended up strengthless. After having some food, both of
them lay on the bed as their energy was slowly restored.
With a smile, Ian pulled her into his embrace and asked, "Why did you come here?"

After letting out a breath, Cindy draped her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest. "I missed you."
Ian curled his lips. "We've been busy shooting the film, and it'll end pretty soon. After we finish shooting, the contract will be due
as well."
Hearing his words, Cindy thought of something else. His agency had asked them to take part in a variety show where all the
participants were couples. She remembered Ian bringing that up to her before, and she wondered if they were going to
participate in it.
Faced with the question, Ian replied with a smile, "They discussed it with me before and wanted me to take part in the show.
However, when I looked at the show's schedule, I realized that I'd have to finish this film before going there to join the show. My
contract with the agency will have expired by then. I'm worried that there might be some complications, so I haven't agreed to it
yet."
Those from his agency had their considerations. Therefore, when Ian expressed his hesitation, Hannah played along by putting
off the matter and never brought it up again.
Ian felt that the agency was trying to use the show to figure out his intentions. They would start shooting the show just as Ian's
contract was about to expire. Since he didn't want to accept the job, his agency should understand his decision.
Cindy didn't want to be featured in a variety show either. She loved being an ordinary person who clocked in and out of work
every day.
Knowing what was on her mind, Ian hugged her tighter and said, "Don't worry. When the contract expires, I'll have plenty of time
to be with you."
