The movements of Sophia’s hands paused at John’s words. After staring at the ingredients on the cutting board for a long while, she finally said, “Let go of me.”
However, John was a little bolder on this day and refused to let go. “Sophia, I find that I’m really not used to you not being with me.”
Sophia pressed her lips together. “You’re just unaccustomed to not having someone around to serve you. If you really want someone to accompany you, I think Isabelle is a good choice. You may try to date her. Perhaps you’ll find that she suits you better than I do.”
John let out a dull laugh before asking, “Really?”
Sophia twisted her body, flinging John ‘s hand around her waist away. “Of course. If you don’t believe it, you can try it and see.”
John stood beside Sophia, watching her cut the vegetables. “I guess your proposal is worth considering.”
Sophia didn’t speak any more and started busying in the kitchen. Then, John left and went out to sit on the sofa. Facing the kitchen, his mouth twitched slightly. Isabelle? I guess I can consider her.
Soon, Sophia was done with cooking. She had made the meal into a very formal three-course dinner, making John smack his lips at the dinner table. “It looks great. Better than what the chef makes back at the Constance Residence.”
Sophia served him the food and said, “Just leave after dinner.”
John didn’t mind Sophia’s attitude toward him and leaned back in his chair casually. None of them spoke throughout the dinner. When Sophia finished her food, John was still eating. She leaned back in her chair and looked at him.
That made Sophia chuckle. “Well, you weren’t like this to me back then either.”
Staring at Sophia, John looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say it. Instead, he stood up and announced, “Okay, since I’ve finished eating, I’ll leave now.”
Sophia didn’t believe him, so she personally escorted him to the door, then watched him go out and get into the car. As John opened the car door, he looked back at Sophia. “I’ll definitely consider your suggestion.”
Before Sophia could react, John got into the car and closed the door. Watching the car leave, Sophia stood still in confusion. What suggestion?
She turned around and entered the house. Closing the door and windows, she then returned to her room. It was only when she was brushing her teeth did she suddenly realize what John meant. Earlier, she had suggested to him that he could try to get together with Isabelle. This jerk! When he said he would consider my suggestion, did he mean this?

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...
