Old Mr. Bailey and Isabelle didn’t stay for long since Sophia put on an exaggerated show of her meal being interrupted. Old Mr. Bailey merely discussed some details of the upcoming contract with John in brief before leaving. Anyway, Sophia didn’t understand a single word of it.
When they’d left, Sophia then turned and looked at John. “Miss Bailey must be the person in charge on the Baileys’ side for this collaboration between the two companies, no?” Isabelle was working in Bailey Corporation, but Sophia had never bothered to find out her post. Isabelle Bailey will certainly grab hold of such a golden opportunity this time.
Sitting down, John murmured an assent. “Probably.” He wasn’t quite certain, but judging from William’s call earlier whereby he warned him to watch himself, he was likely to have rather frequent contact with Isabelle.
Sophia snorted and took another crab leg. “Ah, familiarity breeds fondness.” This remark was a taunt of sorts, but John merely sat down and stared at the room door for a while before he started eating.
Meanwhile, Old Mr. Bailey and Isabelle went back to their room, the former’s expression still grim. Glancing at him, Elder Mr. Bailey asked, “What happened? Why are you still so angry when you’ve gone over for a visit?”
Old Mr. Bailey pulled a face. “I’m now all the more furious after going over there.”
Beside him, Isabelle aptly patted him on the back. “Dad, don’t get worked up.”

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...
