Rumors had it that there was someone whom William used to like at the hospital now, so it was even more impossible for Matilda and William to make up. Considering Matilda’s weak character, even an average woman would do better than her. Now that there was someone else around her ex-husband, it was even more unlikely for her to be considered.
Since Isabelle wanted to persuade the Constance Family to accept herself, she naturally did not wish to offend William. Just now, she had tested John, and the man pretty much repulsed the topic regarding his mother. It’s evident that Matilda couldn’t even hold on to her son’s heart now. Therefore, she couldn’t get too close to Matilda at this critical time since William and John would be annoyed by that.
Matilda had finished talking and was waiting for Isabelle’s answer. Isabelle sighed and said, “Mrs. Constance, it’s not that I don’t wish to help you. The truth is that I don’t have many opportunities to meet up with John now. After we set him up twice previously, he’s now rather disgusted and will certainly not agree if I invite him out. Sometimes when I call or text him, he wouldn’t even respond. I don’t think I’m able to help you much.”
Matilda went so quiet on the other side of the phone that one could hear a pin drop. Isabelle then pretended to be torn and suggested, “How about this? I’ll try to text and call John whenever I can, alright? If it works, great, but if it doesn’t work, please don’t blame me.”
Matilda asked after a pause, “Don’t you and John see each other much now?”
Isabelle replied, “Yeah, our relationship has been a little tricky and controversial all along. Now that John is trying to avoid arousing suspicion, both of us have not seen each other for a long time.”
At this, Matilda laughed aloud, causing Isabelle to feel baffled. After laughing, Matilda answered, “Well, fine then. So be it. I will think of a solution myself.”
Matilda then hung up at once, after which Isabelle threw the phone onto the passenger seat beside her. Her face was cold and expressionless.
After Matilda hung up, she stood still and thought for a while before chuckling. Walking out of the café with her bag, she stared at the office building of the Constance Group for a long time. In the end, she reached out a hand and hailed a cab.
Matilda had nowhere to go, so she asked the cabbie to drive around Wharf Avenue for a while before finally telling him to head to Sophia’s shop.

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...
