When John was about to explain, Matilda said, “Yes, I used to dislike her. Her family can’t help you in your career, and Isabelle looks so smart, and her family’s great. If she marries you, your life would be easier, or so I thought. I admit I changed in the first place because of her pregnancy, but the more I talk to her, the more I think she’s a nice lady.
I thought she was clinging onto you because of money, but now I know you’re clinging onto her. Yes, her temper’s a problem, but she’s not evil, nor does she scheme or trick anyone. Aside from her background, there’s nothing wrong with her. And well, the rest is history.”
Relieved, John nodded. “It’s great that you two can get along. Makes my life easier.”
Matilda snorted. “Don’t let your guard down. I won’t be too sure if your life will be easier.” Then she waved him down. “You do your stuff. I’ll be going up now.”
Before Matilda went up, John asked, “I’ll be going to the residence tonight, so I might be seeing Dad. Do you have anything you want me to tell him?”
Matilda paused, then she looked back. “Nope. Nothing at all.” She smiled. “I’ve thought about it, and really, I shouldn’t be forcing this relationship. I should be living my life first.”
It was hard, but eventually Matilda got over it. She used to be someone who’d obsess over every little thing, and after her divorce with William, she had been living her life numbly. However, after getting along with Sophia and observing how boldly she led her life, her eyes were open to new vistas previously vague to her.
She should have understood it given her age, but still she remained childish until she got along with Sophia. When she thought about what she was like before, Matilda would get embarrassed. I wonder how they saw me then.

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...
