John turned around and closed the door before walking over to the bed. This time, he spoke slightly louder and slower to ensure that Sophia could hear him loud and clear. “I said, let’s get a divorce.” Her gaze followed him until he stood by the bed, looking down at her.
He’d initially thought that there’d be a hint of panic and anxiety in her eyes, but surprisingly, she merely looked at him, her gaze even more placid than his tone earlier. Since she didn’t answer him, he asked, “Did you hear me?”
Sophia nodded. “I did.” Then, she put her cell phone away. “Have you discussed this with your family?”
To be honest, John didn’t discuss this with anyone, nor did he think this out in advance. However, he still replied, “Yes. They’ve all agreed.”
Sophia looked thoughtfully at him. “So, you’re here to inform me, yes?”
Heaving a sigh, John reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you generously. I’ll give you whatever amount you want.”
Sophia was silent for a while. In response, she didn’t mention the matter of money, merely nodding. “Okay, I agree.”
Actually, this reaction of hers was also within his expectation. After all, a broken marriage was torturous to both parties. Despite knowing that she was reluctant to give up on this marriage, he was also aware that she was likewise unhappy and miserable in this marriage. Thus, he often told himself back then that a divorce was good for them both, for it would set them both free.
Never had he thought that she’d change into an entirely different person after the divorce, suddenly taking on attributes he loved. The Sophia who was timid, apprehensive, and cautious in her speech had ceased to exist with the collapse of their first marriage. The Sophia who was then reborn was one he could no longer hold onto. For that reason, he had to pay the price for the wrong choices he’d made in his first marriage. He knew that it served him right since he was blind in the past and had wronged her.
However, he didn’t want to tell anyone about this experience, so he snickered when Logan asked about it. “Why are you asking about this? Do you want to learn from me?”

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...
