Chuckling, Robin asked, “Did I say too much?”
“It’s fine,” assured John.
Putting on a smile, Robin asked again, “What brings you here?”
Glancing at the time, John said, “ Nothing. You’d better get home now. I won’t hold you up.”
“Alright,” replied Robin with a smile.
Waving goodbye at John, Robin headed toward the opposite direction.
With a hardened expression, John stood before Sophia’s shop.
I should’ve known. Sophia, this woman has got the better of me.
Humming a little tune, Robin walked off and managed to hail for a taxi. Before she went in the taxi, she turned around to take a gander at the shop.
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, John was still standing there and was seen lighting up the cigarette.
With the corner of her mouth curved up, Robin got into the taxi.
Lighting up the cigarette, John took a puff.
With that, he took out his phone, and instead of calling up someone, John snapped a picture of the shop’s board.
Obviously, he couldn’t help but get ticked off whenever he saw the board.
After staring at the photo for a while, John took another puff and walked toward his car.
Not knowing what had happened, Sophia got home and went on with the mundane household chores, like preparing meals, as well as cleaning up the house.
Since she had been living on her own, the cleanliness of the house could be easily maintained.
When it was near sundown, Sophia headed upstairs to her room.
As soon as she got into her room, she went straight to close the windows. While she was about to pull the curtains, she stopped abruptly.
Looking out of her window, there was a car parked right below the streetlight, so she could clearly see who was in the car.
Damn! Humans are such complicated beings! In the past, he had been ignoring me most of the time, and even gave me the cold shoulders. Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?
Honestly, she did have the urge to go out and check on him, but after thinking it through, she dropped the idea.
What is there to check on anyway? John is a vigilant man. What can happen to him?
Considering he had parked his car at such an obvious spot, he probably wanted her to notice him here.
Letting out a sigh, Sophia sneered and turned off the lights.
Who cares how long he wishes to stay there? It’s none of my business!
Seeing the lights off in Sophia’s room, John had a grin on his face while sitting in his car.
This woman is so heartless.
Clearly, she saw me here, but she didn’t even bother to ask.
Reclining the seat, John leaned against the seat to rest himself.
By now, the car was filled with cigarette smoke, so he wound down the car window and stared at the car roof, trying to relax himself.

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...
