Sophia took a bite of noodles. “What is there to clarify? You want me to say that I pretended to be still married to John for the sake of helping him out with the crisis over Infinity Group, but he was then caught red-handed with Isabelle, so we had to make our divorce public?”
Matilda was rendered speechless. “Sophia, are you feigning ignorance with me?”
Finishing the noodles in a few bites, Sophia then stood up with the bowl in her hands and looked at her. “Yup, I’m feigning ignorance. However, it seems that you’re truly ignorant. How are you so thick-skinned to come and seek me out? The previous time, you swore right here that you wouldn’t implore me for help. Why, you’re going back against your word so soon?”
Sneering, she turned around and walked toward the kitchen. “Also, you should act like it if you’re here to beg me for help. What kind of attitude is this now? I’m already showing great charity by not talking smack about John. I’ve warned you not to provoke me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to control my tongue.”
Matilda closed her eyes for a moment, her fists cracking by her sides. All of a sudden, she recalled the scene back when she was forced to come and apologize to Sophia. This was the exact spot I stood in back then. My humiliation is just greater every single time!
When Sophia came out after washing the bowl, she noticed that Matilda was still standing there. She didn’t pay her any attention earlier, so she thought that she’d left. Going over to the coffee table, she took a piece of tissue and wiped her hands. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going upstairs to rest.”
Matilda’s face was devoid of emotion. She merely stared at her without saying a single word nor twitching a single muscle. Her brows creasing, Sophia looked at her for a while before she pivoted and headed for the staircase.
However, just after she’d turned around, Matilda suddenly rushed at her and grabbed her hair hard, yanking her backward. “Why are you being cocky with me? Who do you think you are?”

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...
