Matilda pursed her lips and stared at Sophia with a reluctant expression, but her tone was friendler compared to before. “Why are you here?”
Sophia totally ignored Matilda, but the latter dared not provoke Sophia nowadays because Sophia held a weapon—the knowledge of her divorce. Then, Isabelle glanced at Sophia before turning to look at Matilda, who was acting quite differently than before, to Isabelle’s surprise.
Ignoring the two, Sophia simply picked her groceries at the section and left with her cart. When Sophia vanished from Matilda’s sight, Matilda spat, “Who does she think she is? Just another cheap woman. She thinks too highly of herself.”
Isabelle smiled gently. “It’s okay. Let’s not get angry at people like her. It’s not worth it.”
Now, Matilda had the guts to talk bad about Sophia at her back. “I can’t be bothered to argue with people like her. Do you know that she’s a crazy and uncouth woman who doesn’t care about decency when she argues? Saying one more word in front of her only makes me feel that I’m descending to her level.”
“Yeah yeah.” Isabelle smiled and went along with her. “Now that John has divorced her, the Constance Family will have no connection whatsoever with her! Let’s not get angry. We will completely cut her off from our lives.”
Matilda took Isabelle’s hand. “If not for John’s grandpa’s insistence back then, I would never have allowed a woman like her to marry into our family. For this, I feel very guilty toward you.”
Isabelle pursed her lips into a forced smile. “Oh well, thankfully it’s all over now.”
Matilda drew a long sigh. “Yeah. In the future, you should get along well with John. We’ll never bring this topic up anymore.”
Isabelle sank into conflicted thoughts and she stole a look at the direction where Sophia had left. To her, the problem was the great difficulty to get closer to John, for he was not enthusiastic toward her and she felt difficult to make any other moves.

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...
