He walked over and stood by Sophia’s side. Both of them were really close, talking about something else. “If anything happens in the future, make sure you stay away. Seeing you get hurt today actually made me feel sad.”
Sophia couldn’t really read between the lines, and just took it that Ian was feeling guilty.
She nodded and said, “I know, but actually, I was hiding at the back today.”
When she said that, Logan, who was at the side, shrank his head. God knew that he really didn’t know Sophia was right behind him back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dodged so quickly.
Ian just grunted and looked up at the sky. “Okay, we’re leaving now. You go in first. When you go to sleep, make sure to lock your door and windows.”
“I know, I know,” Sophia replied.
Ian looked at the expression on Sophia’s face and felt a pang of helplessness. She obviously didn’t get what he was trying to say.
After exchanging a few more goodnights and goodbyes, Logan took Ian with him and left.
Sophia turned around and went into the living room.
John was not downstairs anymore. And the laptop was already switched off. It seems that he has gone upstairs.
Sophia stood next to the sofa. She took a deep breath, then went over and turned on the television.
She didn’t actually want to watch the television, merely feeling the house was too quiet.
After randomly going through the channels, John came down again.
He didn’t greet Sophia. Instead, he went to the wine cabinet next to the dining room and took out a bottle of red wine.
The few bottles of red wine placed on the wine cabinet were just for show. Sophia knew about it.
But she wasn’t used to drinking red wine, so after giving John a look, she withdrew her gaze.
She breathed deeply, but didn’t say anything.
He played with her fingers for a while, then asked, “Do you like Ian?”
She frowned. “Ian?”
“Forget it.” Then, he said, “Just pretend that I didn’t ask this question.”
His hand moved slowly from her fingers to her wrist, then followed her arm and moved up to her shoulder.
In the beginning, Sophia was bewildered, for she didn’t know what John was doing. After all, both of them were clear-headed. Nothing was likely to happen. But slowly, Sophia felt that something wasn’t right.
Because John started to touch her face, and he was also leaning closer to her.
It wasn’t as if something like this had never happened before, but they usually happened just when they were about to do the horizontal tango.

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...
