In the past, Matilda had given Isabelle her all. She obviously knew that John would be upset with her if she tried to matchmake him and Isabelle, but she still did it anyway. But now, when something happened to her, Isabelle had refused to help at all.
Matilda felt a little sad, but she was still making excuses for Isabelle in her heart. After all, John had always rejected Isabelle’s advances, and Matilda knew this much. Hence, she could understand Isabelle not wanting to offend John by avoiding her. She had seen Isabelle go to the Constance Group just now and meet up with John, most likely to mention her matters.
It was probably due to her failure to get a positive response from John that she had brushed me off on the phone like that. With Zack beside John, Isabelle might have found it hard to mention some things, so it’s only natural if she didn’t say much.
Matilda thought up a lot of excuses to explain away Isabelle’s actions. The more she thought about it, the better she felt in her heart.
Sophia had been busy the entire time. There were some customers at noon, but Robin was in charge of running the shop. Sophia kept on packing up big boxes and carrying things around, looking really serious in her work.
After a while, Matilda turned around and looked at Sophia, who was busy. She couldn’t help but start sneering, “It’s clear that your life is filled with nothing but hard work.”
Since she didn’t lower her voice, Sophia naturally heard it.
Sophia didn’t look at Matilda and continued with her work, but she still opened her mouth to say, “You’re right, my life is filled with nothing but hard work. However, I earn my money with my own effort. I know someone who only knows how to rely on her parents when she was younger and her husband after marriage. Now that she’s dumped by her husband, I wonder whom she will rely on next?”
She turned her head and looked at Robin. “Guess whom she will rely on next?”
Robin knew that these words were meant for Matilda, so her expression turned a little embarrassing. When she didn’t respond, Sophia continued saying to herself, “I guess she’ll just live on her own fat or just live off her parents when all else fails. After all, there aren’t many men who are willing to support a spoilt and narcissistic old woman who stays at home doing nothing!”
Matilda stood up quickly. “Sophia!”
Sophia still refused to look at her ex-mother-in-law, after which she chuckled and said, “If you’re done eating, pay up and get lost now. Actually, I didn’t even want to do your business. I just pitied you.”

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...
