Old Mrs. Constance told him, “A few days ago, your Aunt Jennifer went for a tarot card reading for Dylan for romance. The result wasn’t good and she lost her appetite for two meals after she returned.”
John knitted his brows. “Card readings are not accurate. You can’t believe in that.”
The old lady stared at him. “To be honest, the reason I wanted you to go to the monastery with me is to get a card reading as well. I wanted to see how’s the reading for your romance.”
“If that’s the case, I definitely won’t go.” John smiled. “If I ended up like Dylan, I might stop eating for two days when I get home.”
She laughed jovially. “Oh, it’s hard to tell that you care about these superstitions. I thought that you wouldn’t care no matter how the reading turns out.”
Well, it was true that John couldn’t care less about the predictions from the card reading. However, any predictions of bad luck would more or less affect his mood. Old Mrs. Constance mulled over it and sighed. “John, when will you finally understand your true feelings?”
He froze in the middle of eating and fell silent at his grandmother’s remark.
After dinner, he went to the open space in front of the main building, where he lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Soon, his staff sent him a text, notifying him that Ian went to meet Sophia.
He smirked and replied with an order to keep an eye on how long Ian spent at Sophia’s place. If Ian was still there late at night, he demanded to be notified. His staff got the order and went ahead.
On the other side, Ian had been lingering in front of Sophia’s door before entering her house. As Sophia was busy in the kitchen, she totally did not notice that someone had reached her place. So, when Ian called her from the living room, she jumped, feeling startled.
She came out of the kitchen to greet him and beamed. “I heard that you were in a discussion about the talent show with Miss Lorraine today. How was it? Are the details finalized?”
Judging by her demeanor, she must have been clueless about the incident last night. Ian stored away his complicated emotions and replied, “Yep. They wanted to monitor the audience feedback for the first episode before they decide my order of appearance.”

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...
