Sophia slumped against John’s shoulder, laughing uncontrollably. “Logan, don’t you think your old man is deliberately picking fault with you? I think the dream is secondary. Perhaps he just wanted to beat you up.”
Chuckling, Lola rubbed Logan’s arm. “What did you do to offend him recently?”
Logan had no idea what he did to offend his old man recently. I just chided him for a bit on the phone when he called me a few days ago. There’s nothing else. He truly couldn’t think of anything, but he didn’t think it’d be a grudge over the insignificant chiding. After all, it was several days ago.
After a while, he changed the subject. “Have you all seen the news? Ian and his assistant are really together now.”
Sophia peered at him out of the corner of her eye. “We’ve already discussed it at length, yet you’re only now giving us the scoop? Isn’t it a little too late?”
Logan snorted. “I’m not giving you the scoop. I just want to discuss this with you guys—say, is it possible that Ian and his assistant end up together? I think they seem well-matched.”
Great minds think alike! Sophia shot him a look. “What a coincidence! We think so, too.”
Subsequently, Logan chortled. “I’ve met that girl before. She has a nice voice, and she’s unhurried in everything she does. Furthermore, she’s really good at taking care of people. If Ian were to get together with her, he’ll definitely enjoy a great life.”
Upon hearing this, Sophia grew chagrined. “If that’s the case, then forget it. Why isn’t it the girl enjoying a great life if she gets together with Ian? Why is she obligated to take care of him?”
Cindy stared at the text message for some time without replying, irritation swamping her. She couldn’t quite bring herself to outright admit that she was Ian’s girlfriend, but she couldn’t tell her mother the truth either. Telling her mother would be tantamount to telling the whole world, for she’d make it common knowledge in less than two days. Deleting the message, she put her cell phone away and continued waiting.
When Yulia spoke with Ian, even her eyes were smiling. Ian, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it. His gaze was fixed on the photo in the camera. “I trust you, Miss Noble. I’ve seen the photos you took in the past, so I trust your taste.”
Yulia smiled. “You have a calm aura, so I really want to portray that aura. However, I worry that it might not fit your thoughts, so I’d like to ask for your opinion.”
Ian actually had no opinion at all since he wasn’t all that interested in photography. Nevertheless, he certainly couldn’t say that, so he put on a gentle smile on his face. “I think all these photos you took are quite good, so I won’t presume to know better in front of you.”

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...
