With a smile, Sophia said, “I’m still alright. John told me that he wanted to stop work temporarily to keep me company until the child is born, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. If he stays with me all the time, I’ll probably find him irritating very soon.” Upon finishing her words, she burst into laughter.
Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia was just trying to come up with an excuse for John, so she grinned and said, “It’s said that familiarity breeds contempt. I think they’re getting along pretty well in their current state. John can be clingy sometimes, so if he’s free to keep Sophia company all the time, she will grow sick of him soon.”
With a smirk, Sophia went along by saying, “You’re right. Unlike his past self, he’s very clingy nowadays.”
On the other hand, Third Mrs. Blackwell teased, “That’s because he loves you. We all know what John was like in the past. He was an impassive man who never even smiled. If he’s started being all needy and clingy, it means that you’re very important to him.”
Seeing as the topic was successfully changed, Sophia lowered her gaze and thought about John, who was troubled by not company matters but the task of destroying the Baileys.
The Baileys… It’s not easy to bring down such a powerful family. Sophia let out a breath.
Meanwhile, John was at the warehouse instead of at work. His subordinate showed him the bone, which was clearly not an animal bone, found in the basement of the shadow bank.
John unrolled the cloth that was wrapped around the bone and inspected it. With a frown, he said, “It seems to be a human leg bone.”
The subordinate nodded. “We think so too. After we found this bone last night, we went on to look around the basement, but we couldn’t find anything else. I think this bone was accidentally left behind by those from the shadow bank when they went to empty out the place.”

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...
