Fabian smiled at her, but it was a very superficial smile. “Grandma told me to come and visit you. I’ve done as told.”
Sophia looked at him indifferently and said, “You don’t really have to come over. Just simply tell her that you’ve visited me next time. If Old Mrs. Blackwell asks me, I’ll cover for you.”
Fabian was a little surprised as he looked at Sophia and commented, “That address sounds pretty good. I like it better.” He was talking about how Sophia addressed the matriarch of the Blackwell Family; she had addressed her as ‘Old Mrs. Blackwell’ instead of brazenly calling her ‘Grandma’.
Sophia had nothing to say to Fabian, so she replied, “Now that you’ve seen me, you can go.”
This time, Fabian gave her a genuine smile and said, “Sophia Gwendolyn, right? Okay, I’ll remember you.”
Sophia stood up straight and continued her own stretching exercise without speaking to him any further. Raising the window, Fabian waited for a short while before driving away.
Sophia waited for his car to disappear out of sight before sighing. Why did I provoke the Blackwell Family? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have followed Logan that day. Logan is to blame for all this!
When Sophia entered the shop after a while, Robin was sitting in a chair and looking at her phone with an angry expression on her face. Taken aback, Sophia asked, “What are you doing? Why are you looking like that?”
Robin hurriedly kept away her phone. “I saw some news and almost choked with anger.”
There was not much in the news these days. Besides, all the media did was follow trending topics instead of reporting important affairs. Most of the headlines nowadays were about celebrity drama and gossip. Boring, Sophia thought.
Sophia made two cups of hot cocoa, then sat across from Robin. “Don’t look at that kind of news. It’s so boring.”
Robin took over a cup of cocoa, sipped on it and said, “Yeah, it’s boring. It’s just a load of nonsense.”
Matilda knew that John wouldn’t like to hear anything more about it from her, so she just gave up after thinking about it.
For the rest of the day, John busied himself at the company. It was only when he got off work at night did he have time to check his phone. He first checked Sophia’s social media account, but she hadn’t posted anything. She’s probably been very busy recently, so she hasn’t posted for many days.
John sighed, not knowing what he himself was expecting.
Everyone in the company had left at this time. John slowly packed his briefcase and went downstairs. As he got into the car, he pulled off his tie and threw it on the seat next to him. He suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation. After sitting in the car for a while, he started the car and headed toward Sophia’s shop.
From the opened door, John could clearly see Logan inside the shop, laughing and joking with Sophia. Sophia is really not affected at all, he thought. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.
Logan was in Sophia’s shop talking about what was going on at the clubhouse, including the fact that those from the Morgan Family were extremely infuriated when they saw Ian’s contest video. Moreover, he also said that he had seen Sally on the previous day at the bar. Sally had told her friends how Ian had brought shame to their family.

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...
