Matilda stood in place and gritted her teeth angrily. At the same time, Isabelle watched the entire interaction between the mother and son from the window upstairs.
Although she might not be able to hear their conversation, she could tell that things didn’t go well between both of them. Soon, she went back to her seat and sat in a sulk. Why is John so hard to tackle? Not long after that, Isabelle returned to her seat, and Matilda came back to the room.
As Matilda showed up, she tried to force a smile and explained in John’s defense, saying that he had left earlier because he was busy. On the other hand, Isabelle pretended as if she didn’t know anything and replied, “I see. Well, I think he must be really busy with his work, so it’s okay.”
In the meantime, Matilda wasn’t in a hurry to leave either. Thus, she sat back in her seat and uttered, “You need to have a relationship no matter how busy you are. Too bad that kid, John, just never understands.” In an attempt to comfort Isabelle, Matilda added, “John is just a little indifferent. After all, he has never really had a lot of friends since he was little.
Besides, he dedicates all his energy and time to work, as we all know, which is why he tends to be a little insensitive when it comes to romantic relationships. No human is perfect, so perhaps we should give him time to open up. Please just bear with him, my dear.”
Isabelle responded with a smile as she was overwhelmed by fear deep down. I wouldn’t mind waiting if John is going to open his heart up in the end, but as I keep waiting and tolerating him patiently, I’m afraid that someone else could steal his heart away.

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...
