John stared at the message for a while, and he could imagine how smug she must look right now. Then, he went to sit on the chair in the garden.
Sophia used to sit here before as she dangled her legs and looked like a free spirit back then. Standing at the garden’s edge, Dylan looked back at John. He snickered silently, then he left. John called Sophia.
Sophia expected him to call, for the Constances had to make sure she was appeased with how the current condition was going; they needed her after all. She didn’t pick it up the first time on purpose, but then he called the second time. Now, she slowly picked it up. “Anything?” Sophia asked calmly.
John was reminded of what Dylan said, and he was unnerved. Even though he wasn’t feeling sorry for Sophia, he remembered what she told him: she suffered every unfair treatment because of him. John felt guilty about that, for he promised his grandfather to take care of her, but he never did that.
Sophia got impatient when he said nothing. “Your mom came to apologize today. If you called me just because you’re worried I might go back on my promise, then don’t. I keep my promises.”
“No,” John said. “Well, I just found out you suffered because of me, and it’s my fault.”
Sophia was surprised, then she laughed. “Your apology…” She clicked her tongue. “It’s late.” If he had said that when they were married, she would have held on.
John kept quiet; he knew her life was a mess, but he didn’t expect it to be this big of a mess. Since this was an oversight on his part, he had nothing to say for himself.

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...
