During lunch, John and Sophia ate in silence. He was a courteous guest who cleaned his plate, even finishing the sauce. When he placed his fork down, he burped and said in satisfaction, “I haven’t had such a huge meal in a long time.”
Sophia smiled. “Why? Do the Constances starve you?”
She stood up to clear the table, but he took the initiative to help before she could start. “I’ll do it.”
John took the plates and utensils, placing them into the dishwasher. Then, he turned around to take a look. Sophia had moved to the living room and taken a seat on the sofa with her legs crossed, still texting away on her phone.
Actually, John could tell who she was texting. He leaned against the frame of the kitchen door and stated, “The name of your store doesn’t sound nice at all.”
Sophia chuckled, but her gaze remained fixed on her phone. “You don’t like it? Live with it. I didn’t open that store for you anyway.”
John broke into a smile. This young lady is getting meaner in conversations, but she seems to only do it to me. Oh well, I’ll just think of it as her special treatment for me.
Then, he checked the time and told her, “I’m leaving. Remember to shut the doors of your balcony.”
Sophia merely gave a noncommittal in response. Before leaving, he took a final look at her. Perhaps it could be from last night’s passion, but the sight of Sophia slumped on the sofa just like what she usually did was unexpectedly alluring to him. She didn’t look like a young and naive lady, but more like a mature and sophisticated woman.
John silently breathed out from his mouth as he felt waves of emotions in his chest.

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...
