Old Mrs. Constance laughed. “I’m not trying to bribe you, Sophia. I just feel sorry for you. John’s grandpa liked you very much, and I should have treated you better before, but I didn’t. I am remorseful for my negligence. If I had stood up for you, maybe you wouldn’t be bullied so badly by John’s mother.”
“It has nothing to do with you. This is John’s problem. I was bullied because of his inaction. If he could see things from my point of view, things wouldn’t have ended like this,” Sophia replied with a smile.
Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia was right.
That John doesn’t have a good temperament.
In the future, he will suffer in relationships.
On the other hand, everyone was leaving the dining hall, while some continued chatting about company matters in the living room.
John didn’t want to talk about those matters. After all, he had been busy in the company every day. Now that he finally had a holiday, he wanted to distance himself from his work.
Walking out of the main building, he fished out a cigarette case from his pocket.
Isabelle came over immediately and stood beside him. “Don’t smoke too much. It’s bad for your health.”
Turning his head to look at Isabelle, John took out a cigarette and lit it. “I suppose you felt quite uncomfortable during dinner just now.”
“Well, it’s impossible for me to deny it. I did feel a little awkward back there.” Isabelle pursed her lips and blinked while looking up at him. “John, I’ve been wondering whether I should ask you something.”
John replied, “Ask away.”
Isabelle let out a sigh. “When you went to my house to break off our engagement, did you feel a little bit… Hmm, how should I put it? Did you feel… reluctant about it?”
There was no hint of sadness in her expression which looked natural and composed.

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...
