After staring at Sophia for a while with a cigarette in his mouth, he smiled. Then, he threw away the cigarette and followed her into the house. Sophia went all the way up the stairs and into her room, proceeding to throw herself onto the bed and sleep. In the meantime, John went into the room as well and stood beside the bed while staring at her.
It was noon now and the sun wasn’t shining bright; soft rays of light shone gently into the room. John walked over and sat beside her. Raising his hand, he gently stroked her face. Her face was fair and soft, smooth to the touch. After stroking her for a while, he suddenly realized that his actions were inappropriate. He instantly stood up and left the room, seeming to have turned tail and fled from shock.
After John closed the door from the outside only did Sophia open her eyes. She was actually awake when John came in. There was confusion in her eyes, for she couldn’t figure out why he acted that way just now.
Meanwhile, John had returned to his room and was sitting on the bed, staring at his own hands. He couldn’t understand what had gotten into him either. After a while, he went to wash his face before lying back on the bed. Since he couldn’t figure out what had happened, he gave up thinking about it and just closed his eyes.
On the other hand, Sophia couldn’t get back to sleep. Tossing and turning in bed, she felt anxious for no reason. She truly didn’t like that kind of uneasiness. Her whole life, there had only been one thing that wasn’t in her control, which was marrying John. Even in her wildest dreams, she had never imagined that she would marry him. Therefore, it didn’t come as a surprise to her when John suggested a divorce. But now, the feeling of something out of her control had returned.
When it was about time, Sophia went out of the room. This time, she didn’t go downstairs and went to John’s room instead. After gently knocking on the door, John’s voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Sophia opened the door but didn’t go in. Instead, she stood by the door. John was sitting on the bed, looking at something on his phone. Sophia asked, “May I ask you something?”
John hummed while turning to look at her. “What is it? Go on.”

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...
