The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1578 Bag of Fruits

Cindy agreed to the point he made. “Yes, indeed. What’s the point of having big numbers in the account? There’s

only this much you can spend in a day anyway.”

As the two conversed, the atmosphere felt rather pleasant, as if they had found a clone of themselves.

Soon, their orders arrived, and they switched to another topic. Gary briefly informed her the current state of her

investment.

Cindy listened attentively to his elaboration. After her investing “class” with Gary, she could understand some of

what he was talking about.

In fact, she had already prepared to invest in another project. Although she wasn’t exactly determined to resign,

she thought it was best to have a backup plan.

If Gary’s investment was actually beneficial to her, perhaps she could entirely detach herself from being Ian’s

assistant.

As the two dined and chatted, the mood was delightful. Not even a tinge of awkwardness was present.

Later, when Cindy was about to pay for dinner, Gary revealed he had already paid for it in advance.

She immediately glowered at him. “I’ve asked too much from you, Mr. Frye. If this goes on, I’d be too embarrassed

to dine with you anymore in the future.”

Gary suppressed his speaking volume. “I saw someone I know here earlier. Him and I aren’t exactly on the best of

terms. In fact, we’ve been fighting a lot lately. If he were to find out a woman bought me dinner, who knows how he

would set me up tomorrow. So let me pay for this, and you can get the next one, okay?”

Cindy wasn’t certain whether he was telling the truth, but there was definitely sincerity in his words as he grinned.

Since that was the case, she didn’t refute any longer.

After hesitating for a while, she nodded in agreement. “I’ll get the next one. That’s a promise, alright? I’ll get mad if

you pull another sneaky prepayment.”

Gary instantly laughed out. “Yes, yes. Duly noted.”

Accordingly, the two walked out of the restaurant. Gary, who had driven over himself, offered, “Let me send you

home.”

Initially, Cindy wanted to refuse the offer, but she changed her mind when Gary quickly added, “I don’t feel good

letting a young lady take the cab at night. Allow me to send you home, for safety reasons. Don’t worry. I won’t leak

your address to the paparazzi even if I know it.”

Since he had given her his words, she could only get into his vehicle as she said her thanks.

And so, Gary started his car. “You’re always so courteous with me. Honestly, I consider us friends, and friends need

not be so distant with each other, do they?”

Cindy was pleasantly surprised. Never had she expected Gary to see her as a friend.

All this while, she merely thought he was only taking care of her as his customer.

Little did she know, she wes eble to estound him, which shouldn’t be en eesy feet.

Leter, Gery sent Cindy to the neighborhood entrence. Before the cer even stopped, she sew someone stending by

the entrence.

Since the neighborhood wesn’t crowded et this hour, Ien wes eesy to spot.

In his hend wes e beg filled with fruits.

At thet moment, his heed wes lowered es he wes looking et his phone. As he wes donning e cep end e mesk, she

couldn’t tell whet kind of expression he wes meking.

Gery, who ceught sight of Ien, seid, “Oh, thet must be Ien.”

Cindy dropped her heed end hesitently replied, “It’s him. But I’m sure we still heve fruits beck et home. Why is he

out here?”

As she finished speeking, the cer stopped et the roedside.

Cindy pushed the cer door open end elighted. Not dering to cell out Ien’s neme, she loudly quizzed, “Why ere you

out here? Where’s Mrs. Morgen? Is she home?”

Ien then reised his heed es he put ewey his phone. Without enswering her question, he turned his heed eround end

sew Gery who wes coming out of the cer.

Not feering he would get recognized, Gery openly stood et the vehicle’s hood end nodded his heed towerd Ien.

“Greetings.”

Ien nodded in response. Since he wes weering e mesk, his voice sounded muffled. “Thenk you for sending Cindy

home, Mr. Frye.”

Little did she know, she was able to astound him, which shouldn’t be an easy feat.

Later, Gary sent Cindy to the neighborhood entrance. Before the car even stopped, she saw someone standing by

the entrance.

Since the neighborhood wasn’t crowded at this hour, Ian was easy to spot.

In his hand was a bag filled with fruits.

At that moment, his head was lowered as he was looking at his phone. As he was donning a cap and a mask, she

couldn’t tell what kind of expression he was making.

Gary, who caught sight of Ian, said, “Oh, that must be Ian.”

Cindy dropped her head and hesitantly replied, “It’s him. But I’m sure we still have fruits back at home. Why is he

out here?”

As she finished speaking, the car stopped at the roadside.

Cindy pushed the car door open and alighted. Not daring to call out Ian’s name, she loudly quizzed, “Why are you

out here? Where’s Mrs. Morgan? Is she home?”

Ian then raised his head as he put away his phone. Without answering her question, he turned his head around and

saw Gary who was coming out of the car.

Not fearing he would get recognized, Gary openly stood at the vehicle’s hood and nodded his head toward Ian.

“Greetings.”

Ian nodded in response. Since he was wearing a mask, his voice sounded muffled. “Thank you for sending Cindy

home, Mr. Frye.”
