“This is all on me, not her.” John didn’t hide it, so in a way, he admitted it.
Old Mrs. Constance didn’t dwell on this. “You know what you did, so we’ll stay out of this.”
John leaned back on the sofa and sighed. He would have consoled his mother usually, but he wasn’t in the mood now. “I’ll go to Sophia’s place tomorrow. Maybe I’ll stay there after this. She dislikes it here, so we won’t be coming back.”
Old Mrs. Constance could understand that, for Matilda would just forget everything and repeat her mistakes after a while, so living under the same roof wasn’t optimal for them. She nodded. “That’s good. It’s nearer to the company, so it’s convenient for you.”
William came back a short while later. He had an appointment on this day, but his wife kept calling him to complain. So, he had no choice but to ask Owen to go in his stead, while he came back to check out the situation.
Old Mrs. Constance was speechless, so she looked at her son. “You spoiled her.”
William smiled. “I’ll take a look.”
John looked down quietly.
After that, Old Mrs. Constance lamented, “Sophia doesn’t come from a good family, and she used to be weak too. That wasn’t enough to hold up a family, but after your divorce, I think she has style.” Old Mrs. Constance thought she was like Matilda, a faker, but when she saw how Sophia glared at the servant venomously earlier, she liked Sophia more. If she came from a better family and received better education, she would be perfect.
John kept quiet all the while his grandmother talked, then he went upstairs. When he went past Sophia’s room, he went inside. The bed was messy and filled with traces of last night’s event. The glass that he put on the windowsill was still there. John closed his eyes and went to his own room. After taking a shower, he went to Matilda’s room.

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...
