John took a seat beside William with Sophia next to him. As for Isabelle, she was seated beside Old Mr. Bailey and diagonally across from Sophia. The two girls could see each other when they lifted their heads. This seating arrangement was quite similar to the arrangement in the Constance Family’s dining hall.
When they started ordering food, William handed the girls the menu, claiming that the ladies should go first. Even so, Sophia didn’t care about ordering earlier or later because she had just finished a meal before this and was not hungry at all. She flipped through the menu and picked nothing. John gave her a look and took the menu from her. He more or less knew about her situation, and he volunteered to choose. “Let me do it. I know what you like.”
Isabelle immediately shifted her gaze from the menu to John’s face. Old Mr. Bailey then coughed beside Isabelle and asked, “Belle, what would you like?”
His question cleared up her distracted mind, and she hurriedly looked down at the menu. “I guess I’ll take a look. Hmm… I like these few dishes.”
“Order anything you like. If there’s more than one, just get them all.” His voice was almost a whisper, whereupon Isabelle looked at him and nodded. “Okay.”
Sophia lifted a brow in amusement. The father and daughter were obviously talking in circles, thinking that she would not understand it. After the menu was passed around and everyone ordered their food, the waiter left the table with the orders.
Meanwhile, Elder Mr. Bailey had been staring at Sophia for quite some time. She was well aware of his attention, for it was impossible not to notice the old man’s eagle-sharp eyes unless one was blind. However, Sophia didn’t entertain him and merely turned around to inform John about her store opening. Within these few days, she would be getting the design plan. It was also close to the end of the month, which meant that the rental contract would come into effect soon.
Yesterday, Robin sent her a message, informing her that the desserts would be disposed of and that she could bring some workers in to take a look around. As for finding the right construction workers, Sophia had decided to enroll Zack for help because he seemed reliable. With Zack around, or more specifically, with John around, it was less likely for her to be scammed.

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...
