Ian was speaking loudly to her, asking if she was asleep.
He’s drunk. So, Sophia grunted and said, “Not yet, but I will soon.”
“Don’t sleep just yet.” Ian stopped her. “I’ll go to your place after I’m done here. I want to talk.”
“We can talk here.” She arched her eyebrow. There’s nothing we can’t talk about on a call.
Ian smiled. “I want to do it face to face.”
Sophia smiled too. “Sure, but don’t drink too much. I’ll be waiting.”
That was more than enough said. She ended the call and went to wash herself up as well as tidying her place up. About thirty minutes later, Ian called her, saying he was done with his appointment and was on his way here. She grunted. “Did you have a lot to drink?”
“No. I’m a bad drinker, but I know how to control myself. I never drink too much.” Ian laughed.
Feeling reassured, Sophia said, “I’m waiting right here.”
When they ended the call, Sophia turned on the TV in the living room. The door was left open so she could see Ian later. As it was already late, Sophia had bathed and changed into her pajamas. She sat on the sofa holding her legs, leaving her hair to dry.
Some distance away from the house, John saw this, which made him frown.
Sophia nodded. “Yeah. I didn’t even touch it. Having tea this late at night might keep me up, so I made this only for you.”
Ian picked up the cup. The warmth was just right, and he downed half of the tea in one go. He actually didn’t drink too much liquor, for he was a bad drinker. If he went all out, it’d be disastrous. Then, he put his cup down. “Today was not a good day, but your call made it better.”
During the argument with his father earlier in the morning, Bryce, in his rage, said, “You’re just like your wench of a mother.”
Offended, Ian snapped, “Good. If I were anything like you, I’d kill myself.”
Thanks to that, his mood was in the gutters. Not even the appointment earlier managed to cheer him up. Mr. Zimmel had tried his best to hype the atmosphere up, but to no avail. Thus, he thought it would be a bad day, until Sophia called him.

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...
