William nodded. “Yes, do join us for lunch. What a coincidence that you’re here, Sophia! You should join us for lunch as well. You didn’t manage to join us the other time, so this is just the perfect timing.”
Beaming, Sophia didn’t decline but agreed right away. “Sure.”
John walked over and stared at her. “Let’s all go together, then.”
Isabelle’s gaze swept over them, but her expression remained unchanged. After putting his work away, John then left with Sophia and the others. When they entered the elevator, John and Sophia stood far back. Meanwhile, William and Elder Mr. Bailey stood by the doors, making small talk and bringing up the collaboration again.
Sophia couldn’t understand a single word, so she leaned close to John and asked in a murmur, “When did you leave this morning? I was too tired that I didn’t even notice you leave.” She was initially a tad shy about last night’s incident since they were divorced, after all.
While they did have intercourse a few times in the past, those were all inevitable due to some external factors. Last night, however, was the real deal because they were both sober and conscious. Thus, she was a touch embarrassed and didn’t know how she should face him.
But now that Isabelle was right beside them, she was no longer concerned about propriety. Her sole focus was on getting under Isabelle’s skin. Although she’d lowered her voice, Isabelle could naturally hear her when John could do so since she was standing on the other side of him.
Slightly twisting his body sideways to face her, John caught sight of the marks on her neck the moment he looked down. Honestly speaking, he was indeed deliberate in leaving marks on her last night. As he stared at her neck, he instantly recalled all those things he did in bed last night.

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...
