The next day, Sophia woke up early in the morning. After freshening up, she even applied light makeup. There were some frozen dumplings in the freezer, so she cooked two servings. Just when she’d finished cooking, John came down.
However, he was talking on the phone as he descended the stairs, and it appeared as though something had happened to his company since his expression was rather grave. Sophia merely took a single glance before she retracted her gaze, not at all worried about Constance Company.
All those old and young members of the Constance Family are with the company, so if they can’t manage the situation, then they really ought to retire from office. Anyway, John is probably not having breakfast judging from his predicament now. Saying nothing, she took a bowl of dumplings into the dining room.
John answered the call in the living room, but he merely ordered the person on the other end to handle the matter first while waiting for him to arrive. After hanging up the phone, he whirled around and cast his gaze at the dining room. “I won’t be having breakfast today. I’ve got to leave now.” A few seconds later, Sophia murmured a mild acknowledgment.
John, however, added, “I probably won’t be coming back for lunch either, but I’ll come and pick you up for the banquet tonight.” Sophia stilled, only now remembering that the banquet he mentioned back then was tonight. She then indicated her assent, and he subsequently left.
After having breakfast alone, Sophia straightened up the house for a bit before leaving upon seeing that it was almost time. She headed to the airport since the singer had given her his flight information, and she’d promised to pick him up.
As she took the highway, the entire stretch of road was clear, so it was still early when she arrived at the airport. Thus, she went into the arrival hall.
Just when she’d gone in, her cell phone rang with a call from Zack. She hadn’t been taking his calls recently, not quite in the mood to do so since she didn’t know what to say. After all, the Constance Family was about the sum of their common topic, and she truly didn’t feel like bringing up that mess.
After a moment’s contemplation, she declined the call. Usually, Zack understood her meaning when she did this and would stop calling, but it was different this time. In the wake of her rejecting the call, Zack instantly called again, taking her aback.
Hey, is this fella trying to challenge me? She ignored it, and his call was automatically disconnected. Immediately after, the third phone call came.
Staring at her cell phone, Sophia frowned. At this time, the singer’s flight hadn’t yet arrived, so she pursed her lips and mulled the matter over. Zack is a sensible person, and he should be at work now.
Then, she went on the Internet and took a look at the news while leaning against a pillar in the arrival hall. There was no need to even search, for news reports related to John were explosive at the moment.
Mainly, it was about his business trip to Tri Asel back then. From the angle of the exposé, it didn’t seem as though it was done by President McCaw of Infinity Group. Rather, it seemed to be Miss Cox’s doing.
On the whole, it was about how she was in charge of entertaining John, so the two of them were together for several days. John then gradually treated her as more than regular business partners, but she naturally kept her distance.
However, she did admit that she had some fondness for him after several days of contact. Subsequently, the two of them got tipsy at a banquet, upon which they had relations, something understandable yet unacceptable. That was the gist of it. There were too many news and versions, but it largely boiled down to this.
Since the news reports didn’t side with Miss Cox, it appeared very much credible. The comments below were a varied mix, so Sophia didn’t even bother scrolling through them.

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...
