It didn’t seem as though there was any awkwardness on Ian’s part, for he outright asked, “Where’s Sophia?”
Turning partly, John glanced out the office, but he didn’t see any sign of Sophia and Zack. Thus, he answered, “She stepped out. Is anything the matter?”
Is anything the matter? After thinking for a moment, Ian said, “I’ll call her back later, then.” After saying that, he hung up right away.
Holding Sophia’s cell phone, John stared at it for a long while before snorting indifferently. He must be aware of my relationship with Sophia, else he wouldn’t have been so composed. Whoever places a call only to be answered by the callee’s husband will be slightly discomfited, but not him.
Besides, he felt that Sophia must have told Ian that they were divorced judging from Ian’s interaction with her. She really trusts him, huh? He then tossed the cell phone back onto the sofa without deleting the call history.
He’d just returned to his desk and taken his seat when Sophia and Zack came back. Zack ordered quite a lot of food, and the two of them laid out the food on the coffee table across the sofa. As Sophia laid out the tableware, she urged John, “Come and eat. Hmm, you didn’t eat in the morning, so don’t tell me you haven’t eaten anything until now?”
Stilling briefly, Zack stole a peek at her. Then, he exclaimed, “He didn’t eat breakfast? If so, he hasn’t eaten anything until now. He’s been busy ever since he came. Ah well, he isn’t a robot, so his body won’t be able to take it.”
Startled, Sophia scoffed, “So, he truly hasn’t eaten, huh? Well, is there a need to be so anxious just because of a paltry matter?”
Zack was stunned, having not expected such a reaction from her, for he’d thought that she’d be a touch concerned at least. After cautiously peeking at John, he breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he wasn’t affected in the least.
John waited until they’d set the table before coming over, taking a seat beside Zack. After taking a bite, he said, “A friend of yours called earlier. He rang twice, so I took the call for 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...
