“Let’s not get worked up. I’m tired, and I don’t want to fight,” he said calmly. “Mom, there’s a price to pay for anything you do. Take what you did for example. Putting aside our family, do you think Sophia’s going to let you off the hook after what you did? If you get involved, our family’s going to get dragged into this, and by extension, the company. Think about the domino effect that will happen, the PR disaster, and the things that you have to face.”
Matilda’s mouth formed a comical O. That idea never crossed her mind, for she never thought anything two steps ahead; she never had, and she never would.
John smiled. “Grandma’s angry because you sabotaged the whole family. We were close to being snapped into oblivion.”
Matilda blinked, saying nothing. However, the look of realization on her face told John she knew what went wrong.
John patted her shoulder. “Mom, talk to Dad. This is between you two, so nobody can or should interfere.”
That was a wake-up call for Matilda. Now that she thought about it, they had been interfering with John’s marriage all this time. His grandfather insisted on him marrying Sophia, then he died. After that, she became a saboteur in John’s relationship with Sophia. Matilda was clear that the bad state of their relationship was largely thanks to her. And now, her son was telling her nobody could interfere with her marriage. I’m a joke.
John looked at her for a while before saying, “Dad’s not coming home tonight. He said you’ll be in a bad mood, so he wants you to calm down. He’ll see you tomorrow or the day after. Talk to him then.”

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...
