John then laughed. Subsequently, he looked at Sophia. “Slow down. There’s still plenty left. Don’t you find it hot?” After saying that, he poured some juice for her. “Have some juice. Why are you eating so quickly?”
Taking it from him, Sophia guzzled it down in one go, cracking John up. “You seem vastly different now.”
Without even lifting her head, Sophia shot back, “You’re also different now.”
Putting down his cutlery, John took a piece of tissue and wiped the corner of Sophia’s mouth. “Do you like me better back then or now?”
This is obviously a trap! I’m not that easily duped. Sophia snorted. “I don’t like you no matter what.”
Guffawing, John lifted a hand and stroked her head. “Why must you be so quick to react?”
Robin sucked in a breath, her appetite all but gone. So, she put down her cutlery and took a sip of juice.
Surprise inundated Sophia. “Why aren’t you eating? You’ve only eaten a few bites. Are you still on a diet?”
The corners of Robin’s mouth quirked up. “Nope. There’s no point going on a diet. I think my figure now is good enough.”
“Exactly!” Sophia seconded. Then, she lowered her head and continued eating.
Logan began yakking about the situation with the Morgan Family again, very much enthusiastic in tripping them up.
Robin pondered for a moment. “It’s just the look in your eyes when you gaze at him. It feels like you’re not all that averse to him. And the interaction between you two feels as though you’re on the verge of reconciliation.” After saying that, she then commented, “Thus, I just can’t figure out why the two of you got divorced. Do you not like him?”
A hint of chagrin swamped Sophia. John’s full-fledged acting now makes everyone assume that the reason for our divorce lies with me, but all these people have no idea how despicable he was in the past. Back then, he asked me for a divorce before Old Mr. Constance had even been dead for 100 days. He never once considered me or put himself in my shoes!
She pursed her lips. “That’s not it. The reason we divorced was actually simple yet complex. I don’t quite know how to explain it either.” Simply put, they divorced because John didn’t love her. Going further in complexity, it’d then involve the friendship between Old Mr. Constance and her grandfather. Irritation assailed her at the thought of digging up all those messy matters again. Never mind, just forget about it! It’s all in the past, so there’s no need to keep bringing it up! Thus, she waved a dismissive hand. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. It just infuriates me.”
Looking at Robin, Sophia then remarked, “You ate very little just now. Why is that so? Did you not have any appetite?”
Her expression was stained with concern, so Robin smiled. “I wasn’t really hungry, so I didn’t eat much. Perhaps my stomach has shrunk since I’ve been eating less due to my diet recently.”

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...
