John hung up, and Sophia’s phone rang. At the same time, Matilda was sitting beside her, and she stared down to look at the phone on the table to see who the caller was. “Fabian?” She was surprised. “You’re still keeping in touch with him?”
Then, she smacked herself on the head. “Oh yeah! The Blackwells’ matriarch likes you, doesn’t she?” Matilda frowned at Sophia. “If memory serves me right, the Third Blackwell Family has adopted you, so Fabian’s your brother, isn’t he?”
Sophia sipped some water and picked her phone up. “You can say that.”
Matilda clicked her tongue and looked at Sophia judgmentally. “Well, aren’t you lucky? The Blackwells have no taste, I see.”
Sophia sneered. “Well, I think their taste is exquisite. Why don’t you learn from them? It might help you, you know.” She smacked her lips. “Everyone except you likes me. I think that says more about you than them.” After saying that, she turned to Robin. “Isn’t that right?”
Robin pretended not to hear them.
Matilda pouted. “I bet you’re gloating because that young man likes you.”
Sophia nodded. “Yeah. I have a lot of suitors, and you know it. Your son is only one of them, and I can totally date someone else.”
John, who was at the side, paused. “Don’t drag me into your fight.”
Matilda rolled her eyes at him. “You should have won her over a long time ago, brat. I wouldn’t have to bicker with her if you managed it.”
John gave Lincoln a look. “See how scary women can be?”
They never met Matilda in the flesh, but her infamy preceded her. She wasn’t bad per se, but everyone who talked to her knew she had an… interesting personality.
Kate and Belinda would often talk about Matilda whenever they chatted, so Fabian had more or less heard of Matilda’s stories from Kate.
Never once did they expect to see Matilda chatting so happily with Sophia, so they looked at each other. Are we dreaming?
Lunch was already underway, but they didn’t order much so that Fabian and Logan could order what they wanted to eat as well. Sophia rang for the waitstaff, and Fabian picked up the menu.
“What’s up with John? He looks happy,” Logan asked.

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...
