When John started to drive to where Sophia was, someone tried to strike up a conversation with her.
The guy looked like a university student; he was charming and easygoing.
He said he had seen her sitting there for a long time and asked if she was in some kind of trouble.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, she stood up. “No, no. I’m waiting for someone.”
The guy scratched his hair. “Which school are you from? We might be going the same way.”
She was even more flustered now because she had never even been to university before.
Waving her hand, she said, “I’m not a student.”
The guy was stunned, then he smiled bashfully. “You look really young.”
She pursed her lips and was unsure of what to say.
John was already on his way.
When the distance closed, he saw Sophia and the guy.
The guy’s face was fairly red which showed that he was shy.
John sneered.
Guys like these were actually well-suited for Sophia.
They looked better together.
He slowly drove over. Initially, he wanted to wait for a bit, but, alas, she got rid of the guy.
When the guy was walking away, he seemed a bit reluctant as he looked back at her repeatedly.
She let out a sigh then saw John’s car when she turned back around.
After concealing all the emotions on her face, she went to open the car door.
John teased, “You’re still popular.”
She shot him a sidelong glance. “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
John started driving again in silence.
Throughout the car ride, neither of them spoke to each other and he did not ask why she ran out on her own.
She felt like perhaps he did not care.
He never cared about her anyway.
Just earlier, he had obviously arrived some time before and saw the guy approach her, but he did not feel anything about it.
He just did not care.
After that person greeted her, they went inside. “Come. It’s all prepared.”
She followed John in. The interior of the house had a quaint design. It was clearly the kind of life only a wealthy person could live.
This is why being rich is good. You can live however you like and do whatever you want to do.
There was another person inside the house. It was a man with a long braid.
That man was very easygoing and waved at her when he saw her. “Come here; do you have a dress style in mind?”
She paused. She had a feeling that the person in the monk robes earlier was not a designer.
Walking over to him, she showed him a photo on her phone. “I’m not sure what I want in particular so I found a photo. Perhaps something like this.”
The designer took a look at the photo then at her. “It does go very well with your modest presence.” He added, “Sure; we’ll go for a style like this. Do you have any requests?”
She did not know much about all that. “I trust you. You can do what you think is best.”
The designer smiled at that very moment. “You’re making me shy, Mrs. Constance.” However, he agreed to it afterward. “Okay, then I will do as I see fit.” He looked at John. “You haven’t been here in so long. How was it? I heard you were away on a business trip. Did talks on the project go well?”
Right after he mentioned the business trip, the look on John’s face turned sour.
At noon today, President McCaw from Infinity Group had the nerve to call him and tell him about how Elizabeth was threatening to kill herself.
President McCaw even said that he wanted everyone to sit down and have a talk, and for John to bring Sophia along as well.

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...
