He shouldn’t have abandoned her and hurt her just because his dumb feelings were challenged.
After wiping her clean and changing her clothes, John turned the lights off and lay with her. Sophia went into his arms, and John closed his eyes, but he couldn’t sleep.
He thought about his Aunt Jennifer, then he thought about Dylan. When they met in the company a few days ago, he asked John a question. It wasn’t an aggressive one, just a normal ‘Are you happy?’
John thought it was hard to answer that. ‘Happy’ was an understatement for the life he was living these days. Now, he had something to look forward to every day. He had a goal, and his life was more colorful than ever. ‘Happy’ would reduce it to a singular feeling.
Then, Dylan said, “If you feel that you’re happy, then thank me.”
John didn’t retort. If Dylan would feel better by thinking that way, then John would let him, though John firmly believed that he earned his happiness.
Once, Sophia had given up on him, but he stubbornly won her back; nobody gave her up for him or helped him. The Constance couple slept in each other’s arms, then Sophia grunted in the dead of the night.
Awakened by the sudden noise, John quickly sat up. “What’s wrong?”
“My leg is cramping.” Sophia didn’t even open her eyes.
Then, he was reminded of the second day of their first marriage. One night ago, Sophia lost her virginity, and the pain kept her up late into the night.
She was curled up under the blanket the same way she was now the next morning. John stopped to stare at her, forgetting about going to the bathroom. If she’s going to give birth to a daughter who looks just like her, I’ll be the happiest man in the world.
Sophia only woke up in the afternoon, and her leg was still throbbing thanks to the cramp last night. After thumping on it for a while, she turned around to see a slip of paper on the bedside. It was from John.
Slips? Seriously, what age does he live in? Sophia laughed. In the note, John didn’t say anything important. He only reminded Sophia to eat and sleep well. Also, he told her he’d take a break after delegating the work so he could spend time with her at home, and he even childishly drew a heart at the end of the message.

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...
