Lowering her head, Sophia ate a few dumplings before she put her cutlery down. Startled, John asked, “What’s wrong? Are they still raw?”
Sophia shook her head. “No. I just don’t have much of an appetite.” The dumplings seem to be of shiitake mushroom filling. The taste of shiitake mushroom is rather heavy, so it’s turning my stomach.
At this, John spun around and went into the kitchen. Shortly after, he brought her a glass of milk. “How about some milk, then?” Hmm, I wonder when he became so proficient at caring for someone else.
After breakfast, he offered to accompany her to the shop. However, Sophia was very much averse to the idea. It’s my shop, and it’s not like I don’t know where it is, so why do I need him to accompany me? She then urged him to go home with his luggage instead of hanging around her house, but he hemmed and hawed, stalling by insisting, “I’ll just accompany you to your shop first.
I’m in no hurry.” She was no match for him when it came to playing pull-and-tug, nor was she in the mood to argue with him. This man will definitely resort to trickery when he can’t win with logic.
Instead of having someone drive over, John hailed a taxi with Sophia and accompanied her to her shop. Robin was already there, and she even had a smile on her face before she caught sight of him. “Good morning.”
Sophia nodded. “Morning.”
Her downcast mood surprised Robin who then asked, “Why are you…” However, she trailed off before she’d finished speaking.
Entering behind Sophia, John glanced at Robin. “Morning.”
Robin pursed her lips, only responding after a long time had passed. “Morning. You’re back.” John merely murmured an affirmation without expounding 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...
