Mrs. Constance had uttered such remarks in the past, so John truly didn’t want to listen anymore. He merely murmured an acknowledgment. “It’s late now, so you should sleep earlier. I’ve got to go since I still have something to do.”
Knowing that he was growing impatient, Mrs. Constance quickly went along with him. “Sure, sure, I will. We’ll talk next time since you’re busy.”
After hanging up the phone, John closed his eyes for a moment. There was a stringent feeling within him which he just couldn’t brush off. On his way back to his room, he walked past the study.
Sophia was still scratching her head inside, googling the questions that went over her head, but she just couldn’t understand the explanation given by Google at times. The door to the study was opened, and she sat before the computer, groaning softly from time to time.
John had instinctively walked over, but he retreated on second thought. Leaning against the door frame, he stared at Sophia who had changed into another set of clothes, sitting cross-legged on the chair as she stared at the computer screen with great resentment. Mrs. Constance’s words on the phone earlier flashed across John’s mind, and his mind automatically supplied him with Isabelle’s image. His gaze darkened.
After a few seconds, he walked in. “What are you doing?”
Startled, Sophia’s head snapped back before her expression fell. “This stuff is exceedingly difficult to understand.”
Going over, John saw that the computer screen was filled with a bunch of driving test questions. These questions weren’t all that difficult, but perhaps Sophia had trouble understanding out of the blue since she’d never come across them. John pulled a chair over and sat down beside her. “Which one don’t you understand? I’ll explain it to you.”
Without an ounce of hesitation, Sophia pointed at a question on the screen at once. “I don’t understand this one.” John was patient and explained things to her one by one. His explanation is much simpler than Google’s. Sophia nodded slowly. “Don’t go first. Wait a moment, for I’m bound to have other questions.” John wasn’t in a hurry to leave, so he sat there and explained as Sophia went. Sophia felt much more relaxed now, and she learned much faster.

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...
