John sighed. “Perhaps she’s been too stressed, so she’s overly tired these days. As she’s thin in the first place, her body can’t take it in the long run even though there’s no major problem with her health.”
Logan gave him a thoughtful look. “She’s indeed very thin, so she really needs some nourishment.” After saying that, he added, “You’ve been here the whole time?”
Nodding, John leaned back against the sofa. “I was worried about her.”
Logan was slightly relieved to hear that he’d stayed, but recalling Ian, he then felt that it seemed rather inappropriate. Thus, he stared at John for a long while before asking hesitantly, “Isn’t your life affected when you take care of Sophia so much?”
John guffawed at the subtlety of the question. “How would it be affected? I’m single, and so is she. The only thing that might happen is rumors floating around. What else could there be?” Without waiting for him to respond, he instantly added, “Besides, we were once husband and wife, so we have a strong emotional foundation. Even if something does happen, it’s only natural.”
Standing at the landing on the second floor, Sophia was gripped by the urge to rebuff him upon hearing his shameless remark. A strong emotional foundation? How brazen of him to say that! Has he forgotten how he treated me in the past?
Robin was the first to notice her, so she sprang to her feet. “Sophia.”
This time, Sophia had gotten her fill of sleep. She then descended the stairs. “You’re all here?”
Robin pursed her lips. “How are you feeling? Are you not feeling well?”
After a moment’s contemplation, Sophia answered, “I’m okay. I’m feeling much better now.”
Logan walked over and touched her forehead. “You must voice it out immediately if you’re not feeling well. You can’t dawdle when it comes to your health.”
Murmuring her assent, Sophia glanced at John out of the corner of her eye, recalling the medical report she saw earlier. All at once, she was at a loss for words.
John looked around at everyone. “How about you all stay for dinner? It’ll be a lively affair.”
Naturally ecstatic, Logan promptly agreed, “Sure! I love lively affairs! I’ll go for groceries. Shall we have steamboat tonight? What do you all think?”

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...
