Bogged down by her sleepiness, she could only hear Matilda vaguely. “Hmm?” she asked nasally.
Matilda looked outside. “Nothing. You take a rest now. I’ll wake you up when we get home.” She looked at the rear-view mirror, staring at the store that was slowly becoming a dot in the distance. At least Robin knows what she should and shouldn’t do.
The moment they got home, Sophia went to her room groggily. She couldn’t remember how she got into her bed, but she slept eventually. Equally exhausted, Matilda told Ms. Cannon what they would like for dinner before retiring to her room.
Matilda’s phone rang after she got into her room, much to her surprise. Since she seldom received calls, her phone was like a useless piece of accessory. She took her pajamas and looked at who the caller was, and she smiled.
Isabelle, huh? She called Isabelle a lot a while ago, and every time she took it, Isabelle would decline further discussion, saying that she was busy every time. So she isn’t busy now, huh? Well, I suppose she’s indeed pretty free when she has the time to go shopping with her mother. Matilda didn’t take her call the first time, and after she changed into her pajamas, Isabelle called for the second time. It was then she slowly took the call. “Oh, Isabelle. What do you need?” she asked, her tone as usual.
“Hi, Mrs. Constance. I was wondering if you can come for dinner with us tonight,” she chirped. Compared to how she kept declining Matildabefore this, Isabelle sounded so much more relaxed in this call.
Matilda smiled. “I see you’re done with your busy schedule.”
“Yeah. I don’t think I can go for dinner tonight. Sophia wants me over at her place, and I promised her I would go. John’s there too, and you know my relationship with him is tense. This is a good chance to relieve it. Why don’t we meet up some other time, hmm?” Matilda said.
She was giving Isabelle a taste of her own medicine, and it felt oddly great. After all, Matilda wasn’t known for her kindness or forgivingness. Even though she told herself not to mind Isabelle’s continued rejections, she’d be lying if she said she didn’t care. She did mind it; a lot.
Isabelle nodded, still sounding happy. “Oh, okay. Sure, I can do that.”

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...
