Both of them shopped in the mall for a while after their meal before Ian left upon noticing that time was almost up. While he offered to send Sophia home, she shook her head as she turned him down. “I have matters to settle, so I won’t be going home for now.”
He thus gave her a nod. “Alright, be careful while you are alone outside.”
A smile bloomed on her face. “Alright, I understand.” What could happen under broad daylight anyway? she thought. After Ian left, she followed suit to step out from the mall while raising her hand to the sun, which allowed the sun to shine on the ring on her finger.
She couldn’t help but wonder if it was really okay to have someone else give this to her. WIth her understanding of societal norms, she always assumed that it was only appropriate to present someone else with a ring when they were a couple.
However, she recalled that Mrs. Constance was the one who bought her that wedding ring, so it wasn’t technically gifted by John, which was a little underwhelming. Sophia heaved a sigh while trying to not overthink things before hailing a cab to head to the dessert shop, in which Robin was making a call when she arrived.
Upon noticing Sophia’s presence, Robin pointed to the phone she held while mouthing at Sophia to indicate that the call was from the landlord, who said he would be arriving shortly. Sophia quickly backed out of the shop to give Zack a call, who as promised, told her he would go to her right away.
Relief washed over her upon hearing his words. “I feel more reassured by your presence.”
Zack told her to remain calm, and that he would arrive shortly, so she could leave everything up to him. The call thus ended, while Sophia walked into the shop to sit down on a chair on the side.
Robin wore a smile as she said, “The landlord told me he is on his way, and will arrive at any given moment. You should consider ways to haggle for a lower rent, as business isn’t doing great, so it wouldn’t be worth paying too much rent.”
She even told Sophia her ideal price, and had her try to haggle for one that was lower than that, to which Sophia responded with a nod. “Alright, I get what you mean.”

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...
