Both Sophia and John ate in silence. After the meal, she went upstairs when John was cleaning up, only to return in a while in a fancy outfit and makeup. Her appearance came as a surprise to John, who was watching TV on the sofa. “Are you going out?”
“Yeah, I’ll be back after having some fun,” Sophia replied.
A frown sprang onto his face uncontrollably. “During such a late time?”
“This is when the fun happens!” Sophia didn’t care about his opinion of her when she replied. Besides, that was the time when night life began.
“Will you be with Ian?” It was an unnecessary question on his part.
She answered yes, then smiled. “I’m going to hear him sing, as he has a nice voice.” With a small handbag in hand, she turned around and left, her figure vanishing into the distance, while John had his eyes on her throughout the process.
He flipped the TV channel upon averting his gaze to go through the various dramas that were being broadcasted at that time of night, but none of them caught his attention as he wasn’t up to date with the plot.
He settled on a program on technology, but the scientific jargon was even more boring. While he had his eyes on the TV, one would notice upon close inspection that his gaze was in fact stuck on one point, and he was actually distracted.
On the other hand, Sophia arrived at an underground bar on a cab. It was a small bar with only one public area, but it was rather crowded. Sitting on a high stool on the small stage was Ian, whom Sophia could see as soon as she entered the bar. He had a guitar in hand as he sang softly to the mellow tune of the music.
Soft music wouldn’t normally fit into the atmosphere of a bar, as people who tried to seek out excitement would prefer rock music. However, Ian’s soothing voice made him sound as if he was telling a story when he sang, so the customers were in fact enthralled by his performance.
Sophia found herself an empty spot in the corner as the tables around Ian were fully seated. When she entered the bar, Ian smiled at her when he saw her. Ordering some juice would make her seem out of place, so she asked for two bottles of beer after finding herself a seat.

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...
