Sophia stood at the side. “Why did you imbibe during the day?”
Fabian snorted. “What do you know?”
Not in the mood to argue with him, Sophia relented. “Whatever. Just leave since you’re awake. I’ve got things to do, too.”
Fabian shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind. “I owe you one for this incident today.” Getting to his feet, he fished out his cell phone and glanced at the time. Subsequently, he sighed, his expression inexplicably tinged with a hint of bitterness though his thoughts remained indiscernible.
When he’d left, Sophia straightened up the living room for a bit before going to her shop. There weren’t any customers at this time, so Robin was cleaning the place. She was in high spirits, humming while she worked, looking extremely cheery. Sophia stood at the door when she arrived, yet Robin didn’t notice her at all, absently mopping the floor while occasionally singing before bursting into giggles when something occurred to her. At this, Sophia timely asked, “What’s the joyous occasion that you’re giggling aloud?”
Her sudden voice startled Robin, and she hastily patted herself on the chest. “When did you reach? I didn’t hear you.”
Walking over, Sophia went behind the counter. “Well, you were deep in thought, so much so that you blocked out everything. I’m truly curious. I’ve been standing there for a long while, but you didn’t notice me at all.” After she’d said this, she asked again, “What were you thinking just now that you were giggling so sweetly?”
Robin raked a hand through her hair. “Nothing. I’m just feeling rather relaxed since there aren’t any customers now, so I can take things easy.”
Since it was rather late when she arrived at the shop, it was almost time to get off work just after she’d busied herself in the shop for a while. Thus, she had Robin leaving first, while she herself stayed for some time. I don’t even know what I’ve done today, yet the day is over in a fleeting moment.
Sitting cross-legged on the chair, Sophia let out a sigh. How I wish to have such a family as well! Alas, I’ve never had one. My birth family was bad, and I’d hoped to have a good family after marriage, but I was disdained all the more. My life is truly a disaster. She sat there in contemplation, only making her way home when the sky had grown dark.

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...
