Frowning, Matilda thought it over and suggested, “Call John and have him come over here. I need to talk to him.”
Sophia burst out in laughter. “I’m not the one who wants to meet him, so why should I call him?”
Staring at Matilda incredulously, she emphasized, “Why would you come here and ask me to help you on your matters? Have you forgotten that we have a lukewarm relationship?”
Matilda glared at her. “You…” But she could not finish the rest of the sentence. Sophia was right; their relationship was lukewarm. She only found her way here out of desperation.
Seeing that her ex-mother-in-law couldn’t reply, Sophia laughed at her. “You can ask Isabelle for help. She can get in touch with John, right? Isn’t it better to ask her for help?”
Matilda’s expression froze in embarrassment. The first person she thought of was definitely Isabelle, but in the few calls, the latter kept saying that she was busy. Matilda was unsure if Isabelle was really busy, but she knew for a fact that when she had called Isabelle in the past, the girl could always make time.
After a pause, Matilda pursed her lips and uttered, “Belle is busy.”
Realizing that even Isabelle was avoiding her, Sophia snapped back, “Oh, I’m busy too. Can’t you see how busy I am right now?”
Matilda’s face soured, and she looked displeased, which was of no concern to Sophia, who hummed and prepared everything for the day’s business.
It didn’t take long for customers to come in. Matilda sank into a debate, but she didn’t leave. Instead, she planted herself at a table near the window, determined to stay put.

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...
