With a gentle smile, John fastened his seat belt. “So, I guess that should ease your mind, shouldn’t it?”
Sophia nodded in response. “Yup. Thank you.”
Still smiling, he said, “Come on! You’re talking to me like I’m your boss. Just be yourself.”
Nevertheless, Sophia didn’t say anything else as they made their way toward the Constance Residence. Since the warehouse was situated in a rather remote area, they happened to pass by the suburb while heading to the city. Therefore, John decided to swing by the Bailey Family’s shadow bank and have a look, but before he arrived at his destination, he saw a car that belonged to the Bailey Family parked right outside the building.
Wait a minute. No one from the Bailey Family really drives this car. Soon, John managed to recall having seen that car back at the Bailey Residence when he was there to call off his engagement with Isabelle. Hmm. They must have probably thought no one recognizes it, and hence are not afraid to show it in public. Well, the car looks a little old, but I can still remember it.
After that, John pulled up by the roadside and shifted his gaze to Sophia. “Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.” Despite feeling surprised, Sophia only nodded in silence, while John took a cap from the backseat and put on a coat before he got out of the car. Then, instead of approaching the vehicle, he stood from afar and set his eyes on the registration plate, returning to his own car a few moments later. It looks like my suspicion is correct. Someone from the Bailey Family has come to the shadow bank.
After running through a few possible suspects in his mind, John could only think of Isabelle or Old Mr. Bailey. After all, he knew that Elder Mr. Bailey had to pick between Old Mr. Bailey and Isabelle to take over his business since Dexter was gone.
Isabelle didn’t send me a text message about this, so this is likely not her. Therefore, that makes Old Mr. Bailey the only one left suspicious.
At the thought of that, John sniggered. It seems that Elder Mr. Bailey is running out of options. He may be aged, but Old Mr. Bailey isn’t exactly young either.
Ever since Dexter passed away, Old Mr. Bailey had been broken and devastated deep down, even though he still looked like he was in high spirits to stand up to his father.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
