Straightening her hair, Matilda said, “I have to admit that I’m getting old now. I really am, and I’m about to become a grandma soon.” Then, she turned into the living room. After a moment of thought, John trod after her.
John had nothing planned for the day. When the ladies had eaten, they stood in the garden and Matilda came up with the idea to go shopping. She really wanted to visit the maternity store to stock up on some baby items.
“Isn’t it still early?” John exclaimed in surprise as he glanced at Sophia’s belly, which was still so flat that he couldn’t tell she was carrying a baby at all.
Matilda cast an annoyed look at him. “It’s not early at all. When the first trimester has passed, her belly will grow very quickly and she won’t fit into her current clothes anymore. It will be handy to buy some maternity clothing now.” Turning to Sophia, she asked, “What do you think?”
Sophia’s eyes were fixed on Matilda. Their relationship for the past few days had turned for the better. As a simple-minded woman, Matilda was merely spoiled by William before this. Now, she was a little more sensible and clearly much nicer toward her.
On Sophia’s side, she was not a calculative person and it seemed like there wasn’t such a huge ridge standing in between them that they couldn’t overcome. Hence, she set aside their past conflicts and nodded after just one glance at her. “You’re right.”
Smiling, Matilda spun her head to face John. “Get ready and let’s go now.”
He stole a glance at Sophia and replied helplessly, “Okay.”
At home, Sophia actually had quite a lot of clothes, and she didn’t go out that often now, so there was no need to get any more new clothes. However, she was thinking about Robin, who was managing the shop by herself now, and she wanted to drop by the shop later. Well, I’ll buy her some clothes now and bring them straight to her at the shop, she thought.
Shocked that Sophia was right next to Matilda, Isabelle froze on the spot and stared unblinkingly at them for a long while before greeting her.
On the other hand, John was staring at Isabelle as well, mainly because he couldn’t help but link the things which happened to Sophia before this to Isabelle. Looking at her now, his gaze unwittingly carried a hint of scrutiny as he scanned her.
Mrs. Bailey was also shocked beyond words seeing Matilda together with Sophia; especially when she had heard from Isabelle that John had a complete fallout with his mother because of Sophia. She even heard that he had blacklisted Matilda.
Initially, she silently lamented on what a failure as a mother Matilda must have been for her son to turn his back on her. However, from the looks of it now, there didn’t seem to be any problem between them. Not only that, even her relationship with Sophia seemed to have improved tremendously.

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...
