Sitting next to the bed, Matilda gave it a thought before saying, “I don’t get it. Why are you still so stubborn despite the fact that you already have his child? Wouldn’t it be great if you tell John about this, and the both of you could raise this child properly after you remarry each other?”
Sophia lay on her side in a fetal position and closed her eyes. “Would you do that if you’re in my shoes?”
Dumbfounded, Matilda knew that she wouldn’t do that, and she might be even more stubborn than Sophia. Taking the situation with William now for example, she desperately wanted to reconcile with him, but she was too proud to do so. Still, she kept hoping that he would come running to coax her like he always did before, and clarify his relationship with Yolanda.
Both William and Yolanda were the thorns pricking at her heart this whole time. But it seems that Sophia and John’s situation is more terrible than mine.
Although she wasn’t completely sure, she knew that John didn’t like Sophia before. From the way he behaved, it all showed that he never took her to heart.
Moreover, shortly after the passing of Old Mr. Constance when Sophia lost her only backup in the family, John had immediately brought up the divorce, proving that he didn’t care about her feelings at all. Hence, it was understandable that Sophia was now upset and couldn’t decide what to do with John.
If this happened to her in her younger years when she was still proud and stubborn, she would have packed her bags and left. With money in her hand, she could easily raise a child by herself.
Feeling a little tired, Sophia said, “Go and have your meal downstairs. I’m resting for a while.”
After a short pause, Matilda finally said, “Okay, just let us know when you’re hungry.” Seeing that Sophia didn’t reply, she then got up and left the room.
Meanwhile, John was waiting by the staircase the whole time. The moment he saw her coming downstairs, he asked anxiously, “She’s still feeling unwell?”
“Huh? Oh yeah, she’s still unwell.”
John nodded. “I remember we have some antacid at home. I’ll bring some to her now, and maybe she’ll feel better after taking it.”
Matilda paused before answering hurriedly, “No, no, no. No need for the antacid. She doesn’t need to take it.”

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...
