In the end, Mrs. Constance refused to take the hint and insisted, “Just get me a driver to give me a lift. Since I’m now an eyesore to the whole family, I guess the rest of them just can’t wait to see me leave. Apparently, the men of this family don’t need a wife because work always matters the most to them. Stop trying to persuade me to stay because I have already made up my mind.”
Staring at her for some time, the butler indeed stopped trying to talk her out of it and arranged a driver to give her a ride home instead.
As soon as she departed, the butler called William right away to tell him about it.
William, who was not in the mood to hear about her, just grunted in acknowledgement and said, “I’ll be back later since she’s away.”
The butler was left speechless right after he said that.
After ending the call with the butler, William gave John a call to ask him whether his mother had really left.
Lying on the bed, John switched on the hands-free mode and put his phone beside him as he answered, “I think she’s left. I heard that the Baileys visited us not too long and had a chat with Mom. Guess they were discussing strategies just now because right after the Baileys left, Mom started to pack up her belongings and departed.”
William sneered, “Seems like the Baileys have overestimated themselves. Perhaps, your Mom is to be blamed too because she’s been very keen to get on good terms with them.”
Thinking that Isabelle was her perfect daughter-in-law, Mrs. Constance had tried very hard to bring about the marriage between John and her.
Therefore, that attitude of hers had very likely sent some misleading messages to the Baileys.
William started sorting out his stuff at his office as he told his son, “In that case, I’m coming back home now.”
Amused by his father’s attitude, John asked, “Are you giving Mom a cold shoulder?”
William sighed, “I’m not. I’m truly exhausted after putting up with her for so many years.”
Stunned by what his father said, John didn’t make a comment.
Meanwhile, the ambience at Sophia’s place was much more delightful than Constance Residence.
Logan was great at spicing up the gathering because he was open to talk about literally anything.

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...
