On her way home, another call came in from that number. This time, Sophia didn’t answer, declining the call right away. The moment she arrived home, she threw her cell phone aside as soon as she stepped foot in the house. Then, she went to the bathroom and washed her face.
When she came out after having done so, she stood in the living room with her arms akimbo. Well, well, I’m no longer hungry now. Instead, both my heart and stomach feel leaden.
After a while, her cell phone rang again. Closing her eyes, she ignored it and let it go to voicemail. This time, however, the caller was particularly persistent, calling again when the call went unanswered. As Sophia listened to the incessant ringing of her cell phone, random thoughts crept into her mind, making her exceedingly irritable.
When it rang for the third time, she strode over in a few strides and picked up the call once more. “How did you get my phone number?” she demanded before the person on the other end could say anything.
There was a brief silence before the woman replied, “I went back to the village. An elder in the village gave it to me.”
Sophia laughed soundlessly. Oh yes, I left my phone number with a neighbor back when Grandpa passed away and said to contact me anytime if something happens. She then asked, “Why did you return when you’ve left for so many years? Are you in the village now?”
“No, I’m not.” The woman sounded pitiful as she answered, “I’m now elsewhere. I heard about you, so I went back for a look.”
Sophia licked her posterior molar. “What did you hear about me? Well?”
A brief silence ensued before a voice drifted over from the other end. “I heard that you got married. I’m elated, yet I’m also sad that I wasn’t by your side. I’m really sorry for not having attended your wedding.”
At this, Sophia burst out laughing. “So? Why are you calling now? My wedding was a year ago. There’s nothing you can do even if you contact me now.”

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...
