However, John was not waiting at the front gate as he had claimed. When Sophia arrived at home, she found him seated in her living room, watching TV while waiting for her. Her eyes bulged in disbelief at the scene. “How did you manage to get in?”
He pointed up at the second floor. “I’ve told you before to shut the balcony doors. But look, you never listen.”
At first, Sophia had decided to thank John when she met him. However, the idea went down the drain in the face of his trespassing. There was no point for her to thank him anymore. With a sour face, she sat across him. “You were the one who sent me home last night? You didn’t do anything to me, did you?”
John chuckled. “Why? Are you disappointed? If you have any wish, just let me know. I can cooperate and help you with it right now.”
She frowned. “Can you be any more shameless than that?” Next, she checked with him by asking, “Did you see Ian last night?”
John was taken aback. “Ian? Why would you ask?”
Sophia briefly entertained a fleeting thought in her mind before saying, “Ian’s phone was shattered and left in front of my front door last night. Did you do that? You hit him?”
Moments later, he denied it. “Am I that type of man in your eyes?”
Yeah, you are. Sophia recalled that John had punched Ian in the face before on the second floor and the bruises took a few days to heal. John huffed, “No, I didn’t hit him. Don’t worry. I actually get along fine with him.”
What nonsense! Sophia would never believe in that. Then, she stared at John with pursed lips and finally muttered, “Your attitude is quite okay today. Weren’t you quite audacious last time?”
He could not help but snap back with a hint of mockery. “Was I as audacious as you?”
This dude! One would normally act shamelessly for only once and quit out of self-respect, but a person who would act shamelessly for more than once was destined to be a repeated offender. To Sophia, John was obviously heading down the path of a repeated offender.
Staring straight at him for a while, she went into the kitchen to put together a dish for him. Pasta was easy to prepare. She even had the same thing for breakfast that morning and she had all the ingredients ready.
Cheese, beef meatballs and greens were the standard, must-have ingredients in her pasta. She had some homemade salad in the fridge as well, which she took out and served in the dining hall.
John walked over and glanced at the spread that looked familiar. Across him, Sophia took her seat and texted Logan to check if he had found Ian.
It didn’t take long for Logan to reply. According to him, Ian was now with Lorraine in a discussion about the talent show, probably going over some details. He also added that he had asked Ian about the phone, but Ian said he was unaware that the phone had slipped out, thinking that he had somehow misplaced it instead.

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...
