After contemplating for a while, John drove straight to the Bailey Residence before it was time to get off work.
The Bailey Residence was much quieter than before. John still remembered the time when he had come to break off the engagement. At that time, when he drove to the entrance of the Bailey Residence, he could already hear the sounds of laughter coming from inside.
Now, however, the Bailey Residence was so silent that it was as if it was uninhabited. John waited at the entrance for a bit, but the butler did not come. So, he had no choice but to get out of the car and ring the doorbell at the main door.
It took a while before a maid came over. Because she recognized John, she was a little surprised to see him. She spoke in a soft voice and asked him who he was looking for.
John thought for a while and said, “Is your Young Lady at home?”
The maid shook her head. “Young Lady Isabelle isn’t here. She went out at noon.”
The maid’s answer meant that Isabelle had not returned since she left home at noon. This surprised John even more, so he hurriedly asked, “Did she go out alone? The two of us agreed to have dinner together. I called her but no one answered, so I came to ask.”
The maid thought for a while and replied, “She wasn’t alone. She went out with Elder Mr. Bailey.”
Leaving with Elder Mr. Bailey but not coming back all afternoon? In his heart, John could almost guess what was going on. Then, he continued to ask the maid through the iron railings, “Then, is Elder Mr. Bailey home?”
Startled, the maid nodded. “Elder Mr. Bailey has already returned. He came back quite early, actually.”
After giving instructions to Zack, John checked the time. Pondering over it for a while, he decided to go back to the Constance Residence. After the last time he didn’t return all night, Sophia seemed to be traumatized by the incident. She would always wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and fumble around to her side unconsciously. When she found him by her side, only then would she go back to sleep.
John knew that Sophia was worried about him. Hence, he had also reflected on it and decided if there was nothing important in particular, he would go home on time. Everything he had done was for Sophia’s safety in the future, but he knew that he couldn’t ignore her current feelings simply for the sake of her future.
When John arrived home, Sophia and Matilda were both in the Constance Residence and were taking a walk in the garden.
When Sophia saw John’s car arriving from a distance, she quickly walked toward the parking lot.
Sitting in the car, John watched Sophia’s movements very carefully. Exhaling slowly, he felt that Sophia had probably forgiven him and wholly accepted him again. As he hurriedly got out of the car, he then walked two steps toward Sophia, but the latter had already rushed over.

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...
