Matilda sat down across from Sophia. On the other hand, John sat beside Sophia while putting food into her bowl. “You should eat up since you haven’t been eating a lot.”
Although John wasn’t a superb cook, the dishes he made were alright, so it was still an acceptable meal if one wasn’t a picky eater. Observing John and Sophia after taking a bite out of her meal, Matilda suddenly felt like being sent back in time.
The atmosphere around them was similar to when the Constances used to have a meal together. After giving it some thought, she told John, “I heard that Yolanda was discharged.” Yolanda was the woman who took care of William.
John hummed in response. “But due to her multiple injuries, she will have to take some time off to recuperate even after that.”
With her lips pulled into a thin line, Matilda said, “Since your father is such a yes man, I bet he would go take care of her.”
John was smiling when he replied, “I am unsure as to how things went, but Yolanda had a maid by her side, so my father didn’t really need to do anything.”
During the rest of the mealtime, Matilda couldn’t help but sulk. After they were finished, John went to do the dishes, while Sophia left for the sofa. Matilda didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave, as she looked toward Sophia after hanging around and scanning the living room. “Are you having a good time in the house that my son bought you?”
Despite her pointed question, Sophia wasn’t in the mood to bicker, so she gave Matilda a hum. “Yeah, I am.”
Matilda snorted before saying, “Everybody was assuming that John was in the wrong, but if you look closer, your divorce seemed to be beneficial to you. You got an astronomical sum out of it that normal people couldn’t possibly earn.”
Sophia gave another hum before asking, “So why weren’t you willing to divorce William? From what I gathered, he was willing to pay you an alimony, so it was also beneficial to you.” It was a mere statement of the truth, so she said so in a calm manner as she wasn’t trying to come off as mocking.

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...
