But few people really laughed at the dining table.
After all, as everyone knew, Dylan’s marriage was another sticky matter in itself.
Had it not been for Dylan, John and Isabelle would have been together.
When John, Sophia, Isabelle and Dylan were all present at the dining table, this topic inevitably became quite awkward.
However, Sophia didn’t think much about it and just helped to take the candles off the cake. “Uncle Owen, you may cut the cake now.”
Young Master Owen didn’t feel that he had said something wrong either.
He simply cut the cake with a wide grin.
However, Dylan’s smile had vanished a long time ago, and his eyes fell on Sophia.
He was the one who rejected her, so she ended up marrying John.
Lowering her head, Young Lady Jennifer sighed silently and patted Dylan’s hand under the table.
As soon as Dylan turned the other way, he saw John gazing at him in a serious manner.
Moving his lips slightly, John could not bear to utter the question in his heart. While observing him, Dylan figured out the unspeakable question of his: Do you regret it?
For some reason, there were times when even John himself didn’t really know if he regretted it.
The conflicted feelings prompted him to recall the past. At that time, Old Mr. Constance wanted Sophia to marry into the Constance Family by becoming Dylan’s wife.
After all, John had already been already engaged to Isabelle back then. Since Dylan was still single, he naturally became the obvious choice.
However, the plan was not approved by Young Master Owen and Young Lady Jennifer for many reasons.
The main reason was Sophia’s humble family background.
At that time, Dylan hadn’t met Sophia yet. He had only heard Old Mr. Constance talk about her and knew that she was an orphan from the rural countryside who grew up with her grandfather.
Neither highly educated nor cultured, her behavior naturally could not match up to those socialites.
Perhaps her only saving grace was her good looks.
After all, Old Mr. Constance had emphasized to him over and over again that Sophia was a beautiful girl.
It was a very grand wedding. Many wealthy families, regardless of whether they had business dealings with Constance Group, were invited.
It was at that magnificent wedding when Dylan met Sophia for the first time.
She was indeed a pretty lady.
But it was not enough to make him regret things.
It was just a face, and it wasn’t as if he had never seen pretty girls before.
But now when John asked him if he regretted rejecting Sophia, he hesitated for a split second.
Standing next to Young Master Owen, Sophia was grinning happily as she looked at the cake. It was a really pleasing sight to behold.
After withdrawing his gaze, Dylan stared at the dish in front of him as well.
Young Master Owen cut the cake and placed a slice on a plate, then handed it to Sophia. She then turned around and passed it to Old Mrs. Constance. “Grandma, you should eat it first.”
Pleased to see how caring she was, Old Mrs. Constance beamed and said, “Sophia, you’re such a good child.”

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...
