After waiting for a while, Sophia asked in a subdued voice with much reluctance, “I know what’s going on even if you didn’t tell me anything. Do you think you could hide the truth from me?”
John responded to her with a smile. “Let’s sit down over there.” Then, he made a gesture to loop his hand around her shoulder. Despite its innocuous nature, people could read into it from multiple perspectives because of John and Sophia’s relationship.
There were a lot of journalists present during Kate’s birthday party, as she used to be a famous actress when she was young, but she had quit acting after that to focus on her family. Therefore, she intended to revisit her younger years during her eightieth birthday, which was why a few media agencies were invited to the occasion, who without a doubt had captured John and Sophia’s interaction on camera.
The both of them walked over before sitting down beside Logan and Isabelle on the sofa. There was space between Logan and Isabelle, so Sophia sat down beside Logan, while John sat between her and Isabelle.
It was in fact Isabelle’s intention to have the press witness the scene of the three of them sitting together. Her reputation was at risk after what happened, so she hired a group of ghostwriters to clear things up for her, but her plan seemed to have backfired on her, as the negative comments about her only grew compared to the ghostwriter’s comments. The only way to go about it was to make use of the news to clear her name. The sight of the three of them sitting together in harmony would definitely clear things up in Isabelle’s favor.
After scanning her surroundings, Sophia asked, “What’s coming up next? Are we going to sit here till nightfall?” If that was the case, she would rather go home.
It was John who answered her question while leaning closer toward Sophia. “The banquet will be starting soon, followed by a lottery session. I heard that the prizes are lavish.”
Logan joined in on the conversation. “Even if the prizes are lavish, what the Blackwells are doing is essentially handing out their money.”

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...
