Zack smacked his lips. “Poor Madam Flintstone.”
Sophia sneered, “She deserves it. The next time you have this kind of thought, you should browse the Internet to see how aggressive Madam Flintstone was when she was kicking up a fuss at the hospital before. She didn’t look pitiful at all then.”
Zack laughed and said, “Now that she has ended up like this, do you feel especially relieved? Like you’ve gotten your revenge?”
Sophia gave it a careful thought. “At first, I did. But when she came over here and ordered me to help her contact John for a meetup, I thought that I’ve really dwelled too much on her. Why should I bother about someone like that? Isn’t it better to live my life well?”
Zack stared at Sophia and remarked, “You seem to get wiser by the day.”
Robin glanced into the shop next to her. “I think Madam Flintstone’s pretty polite toward others, but she doesn’t like Sophia and is very malicious toward her.”
“Yes.” Sophia sighed. “I mean, I was the one who ruined her son anyway.”
All three laughed at that.
Inside the shop, Matilda was sitting across John. “John, do you also blame me for kicking up a fuss at the hospital?”
Looking at Matilda being so despondent, John felt his heart soften. He answered, “No, I don’t blame you. No matter what you do, it’s your own business. To put it bluntly, you need to be responsible for your own affairs. I can’t interfere with anything.”
John gave her a slight smile. “Okay. If you want to think so, then so be it. After all, it’s pointless for you to think about it either way.”
Matilda immediately shut up at that. It was hard for her to meet up with John, so she didn’t want to argue with him and cause a scene. Falling silent, she pressed her lips together hard, which did make her look a little pitiful.
John turned his gaze away from her and looked out the window at Sophia, who was standing on the side of the road nearby. Sophia and Zack were chatting away. Suddenly, Sophia laughed a little exaggeratedly and even raised her hand to hit Zack lightly.
At this moment, John saw someone coming out of the opposite shop which sold floorboards. It was a young man and he was walking toward Sophia. Because of Sophia’s pleasant personality and good looks, she had a good reputation around here. On the day her shop opened for business, she gave free desserts away to the shops around her as a token of goodwill, so the neighboring shops were also happy to do business with her.

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...
