A moment later, Old Mrs. Constance turned around. “Come inside and explain.”
“No,” Sophia said in refusal. Nobody could make her do anything now. “The Constance Family is a noble one. Someone like me can’t even hope to have any ties with you.
I’ll call the reporters and tell them what happened between John and me. That will be the end of it. You guys are powerful, so you can settle this. I won’t trouble myself anymore.” She tried to leave.
Old Mrs. Constance panicked too, so she turned around. “Hold it right there,” she said sternly.
Sophia stood with her back against the old lady quietly. Then, Old Mrs. Constance looked at her before turning to Mrs. Constance. Suddenly, Mrs. Constance stopped crying. If Sophia even dared to talk that way to Old Mrs. Constance, that meant she was taking this seriously.
“What happened?” Old Mrs. Constance asked Matilda.
Matilda pursed her lips, unsure how to answer. She had told Old Mrs. Constance about Sophia and John having sex last night this morning. The old lady even called John to verify this, and John told her he forced himself onto Sophia last night, so it had nothing to do with her.
Old Mrs. Constance asked Matilda to keep a low profile about this, for it was normal for a couple to have sex, especially when they used to be married. She told Matilda to let them sort this out themselves, while they would not interfere.
Matilda agreed to it, but now she was scared to confess that she provoked Sophia when the situation had come to this. Now, Sophia looked impatient, and when Old Mrs. Constance saw Matilda looking evasive, she knew her daughter-in-law must have offended Sophia. “Did you say something you shouldn’t again?” She looked at her with disappointment.
Mrs. Constance pursed her lips and looked everywhere else but at everyone. Closing her eyes, Old Mrs. Constance went up to Sophia. She had a long face, obviously angry as she went to hold her hand. “Sophia.” Sophia tried to escape her grip, but to no avail, for Old Mrs. Constance was gripping her hand tightly. “Matilda is always clumsy with words, so let it slide.”

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...
