A while later, Dylan looked at the time. “It’s late. I should be going back.”
John grunted. “You go ahead. I want to stay here for a bit.”
Dylan nodded at him before strolling back along the dirt path leading back. John saw him off as he walked into the night. When he was fully engulfed by the darkness, he looked back around the clearing. Sophia probably came here back then.
He put his hands in his pockets, holding his phone for a while before calling Zack, and it was immediately picked up. Zack knew what he wanted to ask, thus responded quickly, “Don’t worry, boss. Focker hasn’t been up to his antics. He won’t be up to anything for a long time.”
John grunted. “What about Roselia?”
“Oh, her? She left after the deed was done. And she looked happy. Where did you find her, boss? She’s a pro.”
John only snorted, not answering his question. “Keep an eye on Focker. If he doesn’t rile anything up in the next couple of days, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
“Alright, boss.” He was about to ask something else, but John hung up. A moment later, John took a deep breath and went back to the residence.
The servants had already gone to sleep when he came back to the main building. Halfway through going upstairs, John came back down to take a bottle of red wine. He hadn’t been able to sleep over the past couple of days, so he needed the help of alcohol.
After coming up to the second floor, he saw Matilda standing outside his room. She was in her pajamas, her head hanging low, looking dejected. “Why are you here, Mom?” He went up to her.
Matilda jumped to the side, shocked. “Oh, you weren’t in your room?”

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...
