Fabian placed the box on the table. “Grandma has been speaking of you recently, so go and visit her when you’re free.”
Upon hearing this, Sophia laughed. “Did you perchance misunderstand me because I helped you the other day?”
Fabian looked at her. “Did you perchance misunderstand me because of my remark earlier?” He plopped down onto the chair. “I didn’t mean anything. It’s just that you’ve helped me the other day, so I’ll look like an ungrateful wretch if I were to treat you with contempt.”
Walking over, Sophia sat down across from him. “I actually helped you because there was no other choice at that time. The issue would’ve persisted if I hadn’t stepped forward in that situation when you were as drunk as a skunk. I didn’t mean anything else. I’m not really interested in associating with the Blackwell Family, so I’m rather conflicted by your visit. I don’t quite know how to face you, so why don’t you just forget about everything that had happened? We’ll just act as though nothing happened. How about that?”
At this, Fabian chuckled. “Why are you so cautious in everything, Sophia?” He leaned back against the chair. “I’m not interested in associating with you either since it’s really rather awkward to have a family member out of the blue. That aside, I still have to thank you when you’ve helped me out.” After saying that, he sighed. “Also, I have a question for you. I didn’t ramble when I fell asleep at your house that day, did I?”
Sophia pursed her lips. “What’s considered rambling? Calling out a girl’s name perhaps?”
All at once, Fabian froze, his expression changing slightly. “What did you hear?”
Sophia felt that she’d hit the nail on the head. Sure enough, a woman is the reason he drank like a fish that day. From ancient times, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. I’m actually a touch curious as to the beauty who managed to lock him down. She chortled. “I didn’t hear anything. You were inebriated, and it sounded vaguely like a woman’s name, but you weren’t enunciating all that well, nor did I pay much attention to it.”
Fabian stared at her for a long time before he finally retracted his gaze. He didn’t pursue that line of question, probably afraid that he’d give away even more if he were to speak further.

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...
