John had the driver send them home and gave Zack a call on the way back to have him bring them some food. The gown in which Sophia was in would make it inconvenient for her to eat in a restaurant, so he figured it would be more comfortable for her to go home.
The fact that John and Sophia decided to come home so early came as a surprise to Zack, so he asked, “Did the other guests bother you because of the scandals on the Internet?”
John gave some thought to the situation before realizing that it didn’t happen, as people would only talk behind their back instead of confronting him with their questions. Whomever invited to a charity dinner would most probably own a huge business, which meant that they would also be shrewd characters who knew to uphold a sense of propriety. The scandals were yet to be proven as true, so they wouldn’t say anything that would make an enemy out of him.
It was thus that John told Zack that nothing happened before telling the latter to bring them their dinner as soon as possible, as both him and Sophia had yet to have dinner, and it was already way past dinner time, to which Zack replied that he would see to the task immediately.
After hanging up, John loosened his tie. Occasions like that annoyed him too, but he had to inevitably attend them from time to time. There was no congestion to the traffic as they went home, so they didn’t spend much time on their journey home, and were soon back in their house.
“Nowhere compares to home.” Sophia heaved a sigh of relief, then kicked off her shoes as soon as they stepped through the door. The accessories she wore were deftly taken off while she walked toward the sofa, which were later left on the coffee table. “These would be worth quite a lot, so I’ll return them to you.”
John took off his jacket and changed his shoes. “Consider them as gifts from me.”
“Nah, they‘re flashy but impractical at all, nor do I have any use of them. I would be painting a target on my back for robbers if I wear them on normal days, so they’re useless to me no matter how much they are worth.” There was disdain in her tone of voice.

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...
