John said he hadn’t had his breakfast yet. Letting out a sigh, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t grab a bite before you go? Food is almost ready anyway.”
John put down the suitcase by the door and answered without hesitation, “Okay.”
While Sophia returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he waited at the dining hall. Sophia was wondering why he was so wishy-washy when it came to moving out of the place but so decisive when he decided to divorce her.
When the food was ready, she brought it to the dining hall. Seeing that John was not in a great mood, she decided to stay quiet. She had prepared a simple breakfast consisting of sausages, eggs and two sides.
When she was in the kitchen just now, she thought about how he only had bread and milk for breakfast, but she decided to prepare the simple spread anyway since there wasn’t much work to it and, at the same time, she didn’t want to pamper him. Which was why there was no bread and milk. If he didn’t like it, he could leave it. To her surprise, he actually ate quite a lot from the food she prepared this time. She was unsure whether it was because he was just famished because he had skipped dinner last night, or it was because she had become a better cook.
After finishing the meal in silence, John went to the kitchen to do the dishes but was stopped by Sophia immediately. “You don’t have to do that because I can handle it later. I shouldn’t trouble you to do that for me.” That sentence immediately placed an enormous barrier between them.
It was only after a lengthy silence did John voice his agreement. “I should get going then,” he said after a while.
Sophia smiled at him and said, “Please be careful on the road.”
He picked up the suitcase he left by the door and walked out of the house. Then, he got into his car, started the engine and left.

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...
