Pressing her lips together, Sophia thought aloud, “I’m doing fine now, and life has been fulfilling for me. In fact, I’m really grateful toward John. If it weren’t because of his generosity, with my capabilities, academic qualification, or even my networks, I wouldn’t have accomplished what I’ve today. Everything I have today, I owe it all to John, so I won’t blame him for what he had done in the past.”
Though she was smiling, her eyes began to turn red.
Taking in a deep breath, she said, “Old Mr. Constance, you and my grandpa often catch up with one another, right? If you see him, please tell him that I miss him very much and I’m doing well, so he doesn’t need to worry. As for the two who don’t have a conscience, well… I still have no news about them. Then again, it’s for the better because I don’t really want to see them, and I don’t need them anyway.”
With that, Sophia continued to ramble about the incident that took place in the Blackwell Family.
Beaming, she went on and chatted, “Ever since my divorce with John, I feel like I’ve become quite popular among my friends because a couple of them actually approached me. To be honest, I’m not really used to the attention, and I’d rather live my life without disturbance.”
Without anyone listening, Sophia continued to yack her head off, pouring out her heart toward the pile of bones that were buried under the grave.
Not knowing how long time had passed, Sophia bid Old Mr. Constance farewell. After arranging Matilda’s and her flowers nicely on the grave, she left.
Walking down the hill, Sophia headed toward the taxi that was waiting downhill. Leaning against the passenger seat, she turned around to gaze at the cemetery.
All humans strive throughout life, but ultimately, end up in a small spot such as this.
“Let’s go,” Sophia requested.
As soon as the taxi had arrived at the shop, Sophia saw Robin boxing up some pastries for a customer. Noticing the bright smile on her face, Sophia asked, “Are you in love? You’re smiling like a Cheshire cat.”
Chuckling, Robin chirped, “Nonsense! I’m just in a really good mood today.”
Nodding her head, Sophia stood aside.
Once the customer had left, Robin cleaned up the bar counter and gazed at Sophia. “Where did you go this morning? And with that outfit.”
“Well, I went to pay an elder my respect. I’ll go home and get changed later.”
Leaning over the bar counter, Robin was examining Sophia carefully.

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...
