Slowly, she looked up at him. “With that in mind, I came up with an idea. Why don’t we cut all ties with each other from now on, John? I think it’s great for both of us.”
John paused, then he frowned at her.
Sophia was smiling. “I noticed we’re still entangled after the divorce. Well, part of it is because of me. I was reluctant to let go, thinking if I worked hard enough, you might just…” She put an infinitesimally small distance between her thumb and index finger. “…like me this much. But then I realized I don’t need you to love me. Instead, I think I’m better off without you.”
John now had a dark look on his face.
However, Sophia was beaming. “Really, John. I think you might lead a better life without me, just like how I am doing now without you. You can marry someone like Isabelle, someone who can help you with your work and family. Then, you’d be a great guy, husband, and father even. I’ve been standing in your way all this while.”
The more she spoke, the less he wanted to hear. “How do you know what I need?” he asked.
His words had Sophia pausing momentarily. “Oh, right. I’ve been talking nonsense again, haven’t I? Who am I to tell you how to live your life? It’s up to you, ha ha ha.” That was… an awkward laugh.
John closed his eyes and sighed. “This might sound ridiculous, but I thought you used to like me, Sophia.”

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...
