John stared at Sophia for a while with a serious expression before finally deciding to ditch the topic. Whatever… She wouldn’t understand anyway. I guess the rumor that pregnancy affects the mother’s cognitive abilities is true after all.
He spent some more time playing with the baby before taking him downstairs. Seeing that Sophia wanted to take a nap, he hugged her until she fell asleep. Lying in bed, John mulled over the situation before getting up and leaving the room to give Ian another call in the corridor.
Ian picked up fairly quickly while speaking in an annoyed tone. “Why are you calling again?”
John had a similar attitude. “Why don’t you make a freaking guess? Even if you aren’t worried about it, I don’t like the fact that Sophia’s identity is being uncovered.”
After a moment’s pause, Ian told him, “Don’t worry. I will make sure that she doesn’t get involved. I will settle things my way.”
However, John didn’t really trust him. “You’d better make sure that you resolve this without a hitch. Ian, you know me. While I would tolerate any other blunder, this isn’t one of them.”
On the other hand, Ian wasn’t about to submit to John. “You know me too. I would never put her in harm’s way even if it means I have to go against the world.”
What Ian said bordered on being a confession, which was something that irked John greatly. What the heck? Why would he even say that? He’s just another man who’s now unrelated to my wife in any way! John hung up without a word due to how frustrated he was.
Meanwhile, Ian was wearing a morose look while still holding onto his phone. After taking some time to calm down, he returned to the office. Hannah and Cindy were sitting in there, and the latter was still spacing out a little, yet to recover from the shock she received from what Hannah told her.
Ian sat back down on his chair while looking at Cindy. “If you help me out, you will be entitled to make any request.”

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...
