Matilda made countless similar promises to Isabelle, but there was no progress between Isabelle and John at all. Matilda kept saying that she’d help Isabelle, but did she ever?
Isabelle pinched her glabella in frustration. “Mrs. Constance, is there no hope for you and Mr. Constance? Did you do it impulsively?”
“Impulsive? No, no. I have long noticed that something is not right with him. He started hooking up with that woman years ago. My guess is that their relationship has persisted, so what do I need a man like him for?”
Isabelle forced a smile. “Ah, is it?” It happened that her phone buzzed, so she picked it up, but the conversation from the other side was inaudible to Matilda. Isabelle agreed to something a few times and ended the call, after which she looked at Matilda. “Mrs. Constance, I have something going on in the company. I’m actually excusing myself specifically to meet with you, and I have to rush back now.”
Failing to sense the change in Isabelle’s attitude, Matilda replied, “Sure, go ahead. Work is more important.”
Isabelle clutched her bag and stood up without even looking at Matilda. “Well, let’s talk again when we’re free then.”
Matilda watched as Isabelle walked out of the cafe, got into a cab, and left. Then, the smile on her face promptly vanished.
She slowly turned around and covered her face, for she had no courage to check out that video of her on the internet. In that video, she looked horrible and totally different from her elegant and poised manner from before.
Matilda sat there sighing and wallowing in regrets for a while before leaving the cafe altogether. When she hailed a cab back to the Flintstone Residence, she specifically instructed the cab driver for a detour and passed by Sophia’s storefront.
Just now, when she was at the Constance Residence, Old Mrs. Constance mentioned Sophia’s name and went on to accuse Matilda of picking on Sophia for a year, making her fall short of her role as a mother-in-law.

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...
