It was so obvious to her that he was acting weird that she couldn’t look past it.
Meanwhile, John didn’t return to his room but went downstairs again and stood in front of the glass windows in the living room. Actually, he had no idea what was going through his mind, yet his heart was in a whirl, carrying a small glimmer of hope. At the same time, he was afraid that he was overthinking.
Without a doubt, he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep now, so he went to grab a beer which Logan had brought over in the evening, thinking that they could hangout for a bit, but that didn’t happen.
Taking a seat on the couch, John opened the beer and started drinking by himself in silence.
In the middle of the night, Sophia woke up to use the bathroom, but no matter how she tried afterward, she couldn’t go back to sleep. Hence, she walked out of her room and, in the hallway, saw that there was light at the top of the staircase. Fearlessly, she slowly went over and looked downward.
She saw John sitting on the couch and a few empty beer bottles on the coffee table. Taken aback, she decided to join him downstairs.
Pacing next to him, it was clear that he had a drink too much, and he only realized her presence when she gave him a nudge. With reddened eyes, he gazed at her for a couple of seconds before reaching out and grabbing her toward himself. “Sophia.”
She murmured in assent. “What’s up with you? Did you drink too much?”
“No, I didn’t.” He chuckled. “I didn’t drink too much. This is nothing. I can drink very well.”
Sophia sighed. “Why are you drinking? You can’t sleep?”
“Yeah, I can’t sleep indeed. Tell me honestly, Sophia, are you hiding something from me?”
Pursing her lips, she said, “What can I be hiding from you? You’re always by my side and know everything that’s happening with me.”
He didn’t speak anymore at her reply but held her hand. Lowering his head, he placed the back of her hand to his forehead. “Let’s make a trip to the hospital tomorrow, Sophia.”

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...
