John merely flashed her a grin without a word, after which Sophia finally left home with lots of worries in her mind. However, she could not exactly pinpoint the reason behind her worries.
It was impossible for John to steal from her place. Even her house was a generous gift from him. How would he even eye anything in her place?
When she arrived at the store, Robin was already there. The hard worker, Robin, was done with all the cleaning and was sitting on a chair, watching something on her phone. Seeing Robin, Sophia went over and smiled. “What’s wrong? Why do you look concerned?”
Robin breathed through her mouth and commented, “Look, why is this incident getting out of hand?”
Sophia inched closer and realized that Robin was talking about William and Matilda’s divorce. The Constances had released a public statement admitting to the divorce and explained that it was a decision made on the grounds of incompatibility. As for the woman in the hospital, she was only a friend of William, and they never developed an inappropriate relationship. The Constances did not elaborate more than that.
Earlier, John’s divorce had been a messy affair. This time, it was William’s turn to get a divorce. There must be a lot of heated discussions online about the Constances’ affairs. Not bothering to take a look, Sophia knew that the discussions were never anything positive anyway. Straightening her body, she went over to the bar counter to tidy things up. “On this matter, it’s a family issue at its core. But many out there love to take part in affairs that are none of their business. Marriages and divorces should not be an issue of interest to these outsiders.”
Robin nodded in agreement. “The netizens are really mean in the comments. Even I feel bad when I read the discussion, so I wonder what the Constances would feel if they read these.”
What would the Constances feel? Well, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. Sophia was reminded of the drunk John from yesterday. He probably drank himself to oblivion due to his parents’ divorce. Normally, even at social events, he’d drink within his limits.
The store was busy as usual in the morning, and Sophia had no time to think about anything else. When they were closed for the lunch break, John stopped by with takeouts. When Sophia and Robin stopped working, he walked in and announced, “It seems that I arrived at the right time. Let’s have lunch!”
Robin was happy to see him. “Mr. Constance, you’re sending us lunch!”
Sophia stood at the bar counter. “Why are you here?”

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...
