Sophia chuckled, with an awkward expression on her face. “It’s not like that. I just had something I wanted to ask him.”
Keeping the photo album, Kate stared at John and Sophia. “You two knew each other previously, am I right?”
Sophia opened her mouth slightly but didn’t know what to say.
Instead, John, who was sitting next to her, replied, “Yeah. We knew each other from way back. We are quite close to each other as well.”
Sophia turned and gave John a look. Was that last sentence really necessary?
Hearing the young man’s explanation, Kate nodded. “That’s what I thought. I figured that you two knew each other for a long time already since you guys looked really comfortable with each other.”
Sophia didn’t say anything besides smiling awkwardly.
Suddenly, Kate thought of something and sighed. “It’s too bad that John is married. If not, I would have set you two up. You two really look suitable for each other sitting here together.”
Sophia was really awkward while John burst into laughter. “Really? Is that what you think?”
In a serious manner, Kate nodded. “It’s true. Since when have I ever lied to you? You guys really look suitable for each other.”
In a raspy voice, John chuckled before he leaned closer to Sophia. “Did you hear that?”
Sophia gave him a side look. “Shut it.”
However, John looked happy and had a slight smile on his face the entire day.
Kate started telling them about the Blackwells again, mainly wanting Sophia to know more about them.
John still didn’t know that Kate had Sophia be her granddaughter, so he only thought that she was introducing her family members to get on Sophia’s good side.
Hence, he helped Kate explain more about the family members and told Sophia some funny stories so she could remember them.
Sophia immediately agreed. “Alright, alright. Don’t be worried. I’ll be sure to visit you when I’m free.”
It was just that Sophia wasn’t free since she needed to guard her shop and didn’t have any extra time.
None of the Blackwells came out when John and Sophia left the Blackwell Residence.
Sophia sighed in relief, for it was better if she didn’t run into them as she really didn’t want to interact with these people.
When they entered John’s car, John saw the bangle on Sophia’s wrist when he lowered his gaze, after which he grinned. “It seems like the Blackwells really prioritizes you. This bangle looks expensive.”
Sophia immediately took the bangle off. “I’ve really regretted coming over today. I shouldn’t have come.”
John raised his eyebrows as he started the car engine. “Isn’t it good, though? I noticed that Kate was being really nice to you just now.”

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...
