Sophia nodded. “They passed away in an accident.”
Her answer elicited a stare from Old Mrs. Constance, for her husband told her before that Sophia’s parents dumped her. However, she wasn’t certain why Sophia’s parents did such a thing.
Sophia smiled. “I’m fine. It’s good to be alone as I don’t have to provide for my family. It’s easier this way.”
Feeling sorry for her, Old Mrs. Blackwell tightened her grip on Sophia’s hands. Since it was an unhappy topic, Old Mrs. Constance hurriedly talked about something else. As they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere slowly became eased.
When lunch was ready, Old Mrs. Constance, who was supported by a servant, said, “Let’s continue our chat over the meal.”
Sophia helped Old Mrs. Blackwell up. Before they could even take a step forward, John returned as he walked over and said, “Grandma, I left a document last night at—”
Then, he froze on the spot when he saw Sophia, his expression turning from serious to cold.
Sophia looked away. What the heck? Why do I always bump into him when I don’t want to see him?
John retracted his gaze as well. “Oh, there’s a guest in our house.”
“Ah.” Old Mrs. Constance explained, “Madam Blackwell is here to have lunch with Sophia.”
John nodded. “I left a document at home last night. Have you seen it?”
To that, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Oh, I saw it and placed it in your study.”
John grunted and went upstairs. A while later, he came down with a document.
Then, Old Mrs. Constance suggested, “Lunch is ready. Why don’t you have lunch with us?”

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...
