John could understand that, but he was here for something else. “Grandma told me you guys weren’t in love when you were married.”
William smiled. “She really tells you everything, huh?” Released from his burden, William told him openly, “We spent the first five years arguing, but then we settled down. I think the love only started budding from that point.”
“Five years? That’s a long time,” John mumbled.
“Yeah, it was,” he replied. “We took a longer time than most couples. Some of them started falling in love right after the marriage, but we were different. Your mother has a big attitude. It was impossible to fall for her.” Then, he guffawed. The divorce didn’t seem to affect him adversely. Instead, he looked happier than ever.
That was when John slowly looked sterner, and he frowned.
“Why are you suddenly asking me this though?” William queried.
John sighed. “Nothing. I just feel puzzled.”
William looked at his son. “About what? Sophia, or Isabelle?”
A serious expression crept up on John’s face. “Isabelle?”
After talking about the collaboration with the Baileys for a while, John lost his patience and left William’s room when he realized that they hadn’t touched on anything important.
Even after he came back to his bed, John was still frowning. A moment later, he clutched his chest, his heart pounding furiously. I seriously dislike this feeling.
His parents only fell in love with each other after five years, but he got the divorce after one year. That meant that he had barely interacted with Sophia then, so he didn’t feel like he could fall for her. After being in the business world for so long, John knew he was a paranoid guy. It wasn’t easy for him to love someone, but how else could he explain the weird emotions he was feeling? It’s not like I’m not used to being alone.
He let out a sigh and took out his cigarettes, wanting to ease his frustration. As he lit his cigarette, he texted Zack, asking about the following itinerary even though he knew it by heart already. Zack was surprised, but he sent him the detailed schedule anyway.

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...
