“Hold on,” Matilda waved her hand and said.
“Is there someone else?” John frowned in confusion.
Matilda smiled in response and answered, “N-No, it’s just that we should order some drinks first. I’ve been super thirsty since I waited in the lobby back there. Then, she proceeded to act like she was going through the beverages on the menu, ordering a glass of fruit juice before she continued to skim through the menu. Not long after the waiter left, the door was opened again in less than a minute.
Nevertheless, it was Isabelle who came in instead of the waiter. While opening the door, she appeared to still be talking. “I was caught in the jam, Mrs. Constance. So, I…” Soon, she stopped mid-sentence as her expression became awkward.
On the other hand, John’s face darkened the moment he saw Isabelle, but Matilda didn’t seem to notice his son’s sulky look. She then stood up and said, “Hey Belle, you’re here. Come, please have a seat! We were waiting for you.”
Isabelle slowly walked closer and sat before John while embarrassedly saying, “So, John is here too, huh.”
Matilda answered on her son’s behalf, “Yeah, I passed by his company when I was on my way here, so we decided to come here together. Here is the menu, and let’s place our order.”
Isabelle appeared a little cautious when she glimpsed at John, whereupon she took the menu that was handed to her. Meanwhile, the man was only seen with a sulky look on his face. So, this is where my mom wanted to take me. I knew something was wrong with her from the beginning.

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...
