“For some reason, I thought about the time you and I went to the Morgans’ company when you called,” Ian said.
Why did he think of that? Nothing big happened. As a reply, she smiled. “And? Were you thinking of Simon and Sally?”
“No,” replied Ian. “Only you.” He kept on staring at Sophia.
Sophia was about to say nothing happened that day, but the serious look on Ian’s face and the gentleness in his eyes made her bite her tongue. Oh no, that look in his eyes. I don’t like it. She gasped. “Why the serious look? It’s making me nervous.”
A few moments later, he smiled. “I know you knew I was using you that day.”
Sophia said nothing as she pursed her lips, her silent surprise an affirmative answer, so he sighed. “I did think of using you that day, and you found out about it.” Nonetheless, since she didn’t ask, he didn’t say.
A moment later, Sophia smiled. “It’s fine. That wasn’t a big deal. I was happy I could help.”
The look in his eyes became gentler, and he sat up slowly. “I’ve seen many people over the years, but you’re the first who helped me without asking for anything in return.”
Sophia was confused. What’s he talking about? Something’s off about him.
Still, Ian didn’t take his eyes off her. “Sophia, I’ve kept my feelings hidden all this time. But today, I want to tell you all about it. Sophia, I—”
“What a surprise, Ian. You’re here too?” someone quipped by the door.
Sophia turned around and whispered, “What are you doing here?”
From the corner of his eyes, John shot her a look. “I told you I’m in the neighborhood. It’s a coincidence.”
As if. I’m not an idiot. This place is like a mile away from the nearest road. There isn’t a shortcut here anywhere. She pursed her lips and looked away. It had been a few days since he last came here, and Sophia thought he must have calmed down.
At the same time, Ian finished the rest of the tea. He had a lot to say, but now he couldn’t say a word.
John then went to the kitchen to take a cup. When he came back, he poured himself a cup of tea and leaned back against the sofa while crossing his legs, making himself at home.

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...
