Sophia nodded. “I see. Now I’ve got the rough idea of their stance.”
The Baileys must have known that playing along with John’s plan might not be a very effective way to salvage Isabelle’s reputation.
In fact, the public didn’t give a damn about the truth because they were more inclined to believe their own assumptions and they had a strong appetite for dramatic events.
Sophia didn’t feel like continuing their conversation because talking wasn’t going to get the business done.
She rose to her feet and declared, “Actually, John, I’ve been thinking of announcing our divorce to the public too. The decision hasn’t got anything to do with other matters because I really don’t think it’s right for us to continue pretending that we’re still married. The earlier we face the music, the earlier we might be able to settle the problem.”
Sitting on the sofa, John didn’t respond to her.
Sophia stared at him for a while before heading upstairs.
When she reached her room, she locked the door and lay down on the bed where she placed her palm over her chest. She was actually glad that she had become so tough because she didn’t feel any pain inside her.
John went out again later that night.
She heard the sound of the car engine when his car was moving out of the courtyard but she decided to pay no regard to it. Instead, she got out of bed and went to the study.
She had plenty to do because her exam was just around the corner.
She remained in the study until midnight but John was still not home by then. She went on to check the time on her phone before giving a call to Logan.
He was at home and Sophia could hear a woman’s voice in the background when the call was put through.
Sophia chuckled, “Are you free to talk now?”
Logan was always free when it came to Sophia.
He first grunted in acknowledgement and said, “I’m free to talk.”
Sophia first held her head up before she spoke, “In fact, that picture you guys chanced upon was genuine because John and I already divorced each other a long time ago. Because of some issues, I had an agreement with him to keep it as a secret, but it somehow turned into this mess.”
Logan wasn’t surprised to hear that at all as he responded, “In fact, I’ve pretty much figured it out on my own.”
Sophia chortled, “I thought so too.”

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...
