Sophia let slip a chuckle before replying, “Is that so? I was expecting to meet you during such an occasion.”
What Sophia said was rather confrontational, but Isabelle didn’t seem to mind at all, as she retained her smile while saying, “How long have you been here? I just arrived. There are so many guests, but I know none of them, so it’s making me feel a little awkward.”
While Isabelle spoke, Sophia was observing the white gown Isabelle wore. She seemed otherworldly in her gown, which was befitting of her temperament. In comparison, Sophia thought she seemed tacky, but that was a fact she didn’t deny; she thought that she was destined for the life of a common folk who needed to work hard to earn her wages.
John approached Sophia to stand by her side. “We just arrived as well.” While John spoke, Logan walked up to them with a sullen look on his face upon noticing Isabelle’s presence, as he disliked both Isabelle and her mother.
Besides, he was never one to hide his emotions, so people could easily get to know who was on his blacklist by observing his facial expressions. He stood beside Sophia as well, but his words were directed at Isabelle. “Why are you here?”
He sounded even more confrontational than Sophia, but Isabelle tried her best to respond in a casual manner. “I came with my father.”
After hearing what she told him, Logan examined her from head to toe before saying, “This gown looks nice on you. It suits you. Why would you even think of taking some other person’s gown? With some effort, you can always find one that fits you.”
Although Logan supposedly didn’t mean anything else, his words came out slightly twisted, which he didn’t seem to notice himself, but both Sophia and Isabelle could detect the underlying implications in what he said.
With a half smirk, Sophia suggested, “Let’s not stand here, as we’re getting quite some attention. We should go to the reception hall instead.” She knew that Isabelle was trying to attract more attention by calling out to her loudly earlier, so she figured she should comply with that by moving to an even more crowded location.

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...
