She even added, “I’ll finish my work as soon as possible, then I’ll have some free time. Tell me when you want to meet, Mrs. Constance. We didn’t even get to talk today, and honestly, it has been bugging me.”
“Sure,” Matilda replied ‘happily’. “It’s been a while since we met up. We have to catch up sometime over a meal.” Then, she nodded. “Yeap, we really should.”
Isabelle didn’t say much after Matilda’s rejection. Before hanging up, she made some small talk, and Matilda put her phone down slowly. Then, she smiled.
She only had a guess before this that Isabelle was using her, much to her disappointment. After taking her call, Matilda was beyond disappointed; she was furious. If Isabelle hadn’t seen her together with John and Sophia, she wouldn’t have made the call. She only called me because I am useful to her again. What a scheming girl.
Matilda put her phone on the table and lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling for a while before finally going to sleep.
John only came back after a long while. At that time, Sophia was snugly asleep when she felt someone hugging her, then the stench of alcohol assaulted her. Displeased, she pushed him away.
John called her name in a drunken stupor. “I’m really, really happy.”
Sophia squinted at John, who was flushed. “I don’t get it.”
John closed his eyes. “Mmh… About what?”
John chuckled and lay on his back with his eyes closed. “You don’t have to think about that. The kid’s mine anyway.”
She stirred, still unwilling to let go of the issue. With her back facing John, she said, “But I don’t understand. When did I do it with you?”
The alcohol was already working its magic, and John was about to fall asleep, so he let slip what he had been hiding. “I think it’s that time when you’re drunk. I went to pick you up, and we did it a few times that night. Must be because of that.”
Sophia froze and quickly turned back to him. “What? But that day was…” She was getting slower these days, so it took her a while to realize what he was talking about. No wonder Ian got so odd after 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...
