After this, Ian would be able to debut and become a celebrity. By that time, he would have less time to contact Sophia, and this was the exact result that John wanted to see.
Logan came over to the Constance Residence to grab lunch and left along with John when the latter wanted to go to work.
When he drove down the hill and was reaching the entrance to the National Highway, Logan pondered on things for a moment before contacting Lola.
Lola was really annoyed by Logan as she snapped the moment she accepted his call, “Are you serious? Why did you call me again?”
However, Logan wasn’t angered at all as he went on to say, “Didn’t I tell you to have dinner together tonight—”
Before he could finish what he wanted to say, Lola immediately refused. “I said no. No means no. Why can’t you understand that?”
Logan tried to calm her down. “Can you at least let me finish my sentence? Tonight’s dinner won’t just be me and you; John will be heading over as well. The two of you talked so much during your last discussion, but it will be different this time as you two will be able to discuss things slowly. Can’t you be patient and just let me finish what I want to say?”
Lola paused when she heard that John was going, and she didn’t reject him outright this time.
Although Logan was happy that she hesitated, he felt awkward as well.
The idea that John’s position in her heart was so high that she immediately relented when his name was mentioned really unnerved him.
A while later, Lola agreed. “Alright. Tell me where you guys are heading tonight and I’ll go there right after I’m done with my work.”
Look at how she agreed so readily! Logan got even more pissed off, his annoyance showing in his voice when he said, “Just wait at your place and I’ll go pick you up.”
Then, he hung up and threw his phone onto the seat next to him before he spat, “How dare she look down on me!”
John almost laughed at that as he was very sure that Elder Mr. Bailey was standing right next to Isabelle right now. Did her grandfather not realize that I already knew about Isabelle’s imprisonment? Did he really think that he could use such terrible excuses to fool me?
However, John still went along with Isabelle and answered, “Indeed. It has been a while since we last contacted each other. I figured that you’re probably busy as well.”
Then, Isabelle continued asking, “How is the investigation regarding the shadow bank?”
John grunted. “Just like that, I guess. Can’t you read the details posted on the Internet? However, I’m not taking credit for everything as the police force contributed a lot in this.” The other end of the call went silent, and John started walking toward his office before adding, “I’ll be hanging up if you don’t need anything else since I have to go work now.”
Immediately, Isabelle cried out, “Hold on! Wait! Don’t hang up! I need to tell you something.”
It sounded like she was terrified that John might hang up on her, so she hurriedly went on to say, “I’ve been thinking that since I’ve provided you with many leads regarding the shadow bank, can you stop getting involved in this case in the future? Since this case has already reached the police and they’re already investigating it now, can you drop it?”

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...
