Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1434

The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “Do you usually watch horror movies with such an

attitude?”

The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “Do you usually watch horror movies with such an

attitude?”

Cindy solemnly nodded. “Didn’t you realize that this horror movie appears less frightening after I’d said

that? I can adjust the atmosphere with my attitude and make people less afraid.”

Ian stared at her for a while before he nodded without saying anything. It seemed as though he was

only now beginning to understand her slightly.

At the end of the month, Ian took a day off because his mother was coming. Cindy had never heard

him mentioning his mother before, but back when news of his background circulated widely on the

Internet, she’d read a bit of it. Thus, she knew that his mother, Aurora Peyton, was once a renowned

singer and was a huge hit in the entertainment industry. However, she then met Ian’s scumbag father,

and her entire life was ruined.

Ian’s mother came in the morning, whereupon Cindy and Ian both waited for her outside the

community. His mother had permed hair while wearing a tight-fitting shirt and wide-leg pants, coupled

with kitten heels. Undeniably, she still looked very much attractive.

Ian didn’t go over to his mother but stood by the community gate, so Cindy stood beside him. His

mother was even wearing sunglasses, and as she stepped out of the taxi, she studied Ian for a while

before walking over. Then, she remarked, “This is quite an easy place to find. Come, let’s go in. I forgot

to have some water before leaving home, so I’m rather thirsty.” She acted as though this was her own

territory.

Cindy was a tad awkward, not quite sure how she should greet her. Nonetheless, Aurora didn’t even

look at them, walking into the community area herself. Ian turned, and at the same time, he said to

Cindy, “Let’s go.” With just that meeting, Cindy could tell that Ian’s relationship with his mother wasn’t

good.

After walking a distance, Aurora slowed down and waited for them. When Ian and Cindy had caught up

with her, she then commented, “I saw the news about the two of you on the Internet. Are you both truly

dating?”

A tad embarrassed, Cindy didn’t quite know what to say. This is Ian’s mother, so I can probably tell her

the truth, but it’s best to have fewer people in the know when it comes to this matter. She turned and

looked at Ian, telling him without words to answer this question himself. He can decide himself whether

to tell her the truth.

While Ian didn’t look at her, he understood her meaning. He merely grunted in assent as an answer to

Aurora.

Subsequently, Aurora shifted her gaze to Cindy, looking her up and down. It wasn’t certain whether she

was satisfied, but she then retracted her gaze a few seconds later.

The three of them went back to their place upstairs. The moment Aurora stepped into the house, she

looked around before heading straight to the sofa and sat down. “I actually arrived yesterday, but it was

too late. I didn’t want to bother you, which was why I stayed the night at the hotel. This time, I mainly

came back to see you.”

Taking a bottle of mineral water and juice from the refrigerator, Ian went over and placed them on the

coffee table. “What’s to see about me?” His words and tone sounded rather rude.

On the other hand, Cindy walked over and sat down beside him without interrupting them.

Aurora wasn’t at all offended. Slipping off her sunglasses, she placed them on the coffee table before

snagging the juice and twisting the cap open. In a single go, she guzzled half the bottle. When she put

it back down, she said, “I was planning to come some time ago, but I was delayed.”

Ian looked at her thoughtfully. “Even if you’d come earlier, I was very busy, so I wouldn’t have had time

to entertain you.” He was so brash in his speech that Cindy turned and glanced at him, gently patting

him on the arm. Although she didn’t quite like Aurora either, feeling that her affair with Bryce Morgan

had dragged Ian down, she still thought that there wasn’t any need for impertinent remarks that would

make the atmosphere awkward since Aurora was already sitting here in the house.

Aurora chuckled, not at all bothered about his words and tone. “I’m actually very surprised that you

debuted. But it’s a good thing since your brilliant voice isn’t wasted,” she noted.
