Sophia’s belly was really obvious now, and she had gained a little weight, making her look completely different from her skinny appearance from before.
Ian began to pace toward her, but before he could reach her, John took a step forward and placed his arm around her. “You’re finally here. It’s a little late.”
Shifting his gaze to him, Ian smiled. “I was busy and got held up. But luckily, I still made it in time.” Turning to Sophia, he pointed out, “You’ve gained weight.”
Placing a hand on her cheek, Sophia said sheepishly, “I’m eating a lot recently because I have a good appetite.”
Ian nodded. “That’s good. You look just nice the way you are now.”
Next to them, Logan was getting impatient, and dashed forward for Lola’s hand the second he saw her coming out of the building. “Ian, you haven’t met her, have you? She’s my girlfriend, Lola.”
Seeing how anxiously impatient he was made Ian laugh. “I left twice, and both times after I returned, there was a massive change with each of you.”
The first time he returned, Sophia became John’s woman and was even pregnant. The second time he was back, Logan had found himself a girlfriend. Every time, someone would end their single status; he was the only one who remained single until now.
Unwittingly, his gaze drifted and fell on Sophia again.
Although he didn’t know what they were speaking about, she was glaring at John, and her jaw was tight. But rather than calling it an angry expression, the look on her face was more coquettish.
She’s not mad at John at all, he observed. She’s just throwing a small tantrum at him playfully.
Then, he quickly shifted his eyes and greeted Lola. “I’ve met you before in Logan’s clubhouse. You pinned him down in just one move.”
John took the opportunity to slip his hand under the table and squeezed Sophia’s hand. She tried to jerk his hand away, but to no avail. Turning to glare at him with pursed lips and a long face, she saw him looking at herself with a gentle expression and a hint of smile.
With that face, Sophia was unable to keep her own face stern, and she finally looked away. In the end, she couldn’t hold back anymore and a grin appeared on the edge of her lips.
All these were witnessed by Ian who was seated opposite them.
You can tell from the look in a person’s eyes if she loves him or not. Shifting his gaze, he sighed, and smirked a few seconds later.
During dinner, Lorraine asked him about him signing a contract. She told him that a few talent agencies had come asking for him, and he should decide for himself which one to sign up with.

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...
