John guffawed. “When you went out with Dylan, you must have carefully selected the cufflinks as his gift to Uncle Owen. Why do you look so dismissive when it’s my turn?”
“How could you compare yourself to Dylan?” she replied without thinking, and John immediately sank into silence.
Sophia paused and debated if she needed to explain herself. She had meant to say that she was not close with Dylan and had to entertain him out of courtesy. As for John, she had an intimate relationship with him and therefore was comfortable enough to dismiss him.
However, when she walked to the bathroom door and peeked toward the bedroom entrance, John had turned around and left. She was surprised that he left after hearing her remark. That jerk.
She stood there for a while before entering the bathroom to wash her face quickly. Then, she went over to the window and looked out. From her position, she could see the window of the living room if she looked down.
The living room was plunged into darkness, which meant that John was not there. He must be in his own room.
She closed her windows, drew the curtains, and lay on her bed. On the other side, John retreated to his room and entered his bathroom with his pajamas.
The bath attached to his room had no bathtub, therefore he had no choice but to take a quick shower.
At first, he had taken a lot of alcohol that made him tipsy. However, after his shower, he washed away the smell of alcohol on him along with the sleepiness.
With a pack of cigarettes in his hand, he went over to the room window. The pack was newly bought, and he had to pick at the opening with his nails to open it. His fingers kept slipping around. Darn it! Why can’t I open this thing?!
His face sullen, he abruptly stopped his action, and at the heat of the moment, he crushed the cigarette pack in his palm. His brows started to furrow, which betrayed his confusion, but more than that, his frustration.
He flipped his hand and flung the cigarette pack onto the floor in a confusing fit of rage.
Standing on the ground and taking a few deep breaths, he drew the curtain in a swift movement and turned around to get into his bed, his actions full of anger.

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...
