Matilda had one question she wanted to ask. “How’s Yolanda doing? Better?” William froze, then Matilda smiled. “Don’t think too much about it. I’m just asking.”
A while later, he answered, “She’s healing up now, though she’ll be needing a clutch. She can handle daily tasks though.”
“That’s good to hear,” Matilda answered, then they said nothing more.
William looked back at her a few times before explaining, “Yolanda’s been living alone, so it’s hard for her, and she didn’t even tell her family about this, so I wanted to help her.”
“Oh.” Matilda looked at him. “You don’t have to tell me about it. You must have your own reasons. I would have minded in the past, but not now. We aren’t a couple, so this isn’t what I should care about. You don’t have to tell me either.” She looked ahead. “To be honest, if you were to ask me whether I regret my actions, I’d say no, I don’t. William, in the past, you were nice to me, and I know I’ve been unreasonable, but my reaction toward Yolanda was normal. You guys were the ones who didn’t care about how I felt.” Then she shook her head. “Forget it. Why did I even say that? It’s all in the past now.”
William put his hands in his pockets, and he was at a loss for words. There was no need for any explanation now that they were at this point. It’d be useless, so they walked around for a while more before going back to Sophia’s home. Ms. Cannon had prepared dinner, and she was ushering everyone into the dining room.
John helped Belinda up, but she waved him away and beckoned at Sophia. “I only want Sophia to help me. She’s just so lovable.”
John smiled. So everyone hates me now, huh?
Nobody said a word during dinner. Back in the Constance Residence, everyone only focused on eating as well. Old habits die hard indeed.

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...
