“Nothing?” questioned Belinda, with a smirk on her face. “When Yolanda was in the hospital, you’ve been visiting the hospital so often. William, as if I’ll believe it when you tell me that there’s nothing going on.”
Frustrated, William didn’t know what to say, so he kept quiet throughout the journey when he sent Belinda home.
Bursting with happiness, Belinda didn’t go for a rest, but instead, she was discussing with the servants to work out a to-buy-list for Sophia.
Seeing that, William couldn’t help but smile, and after excusing himself, he went upstairs.
As soon as he had reached his room, his phone rang—it was John.
Picking up the call, William asked, “John? Is there anything?”
Letting out a sigh, John said, “Nothing in particular. I couldn’t quite sleep, so I thought of dropping you a call.”
In his throaty voice, he continued, “Dad, do you intend to reconcile with Mom?”
Dumbstruck for a moment, William asked, “Why do you ask all of a sudden?”
Chuckling, John spilled, “Well, when we had dinner today, I saw you stealing quick glances at Mom a few times, so I thought you were thinking of… you know.”
Feeling awkward, William reckoned he wasn’t exactly stealing glances at Matilda. Frankly, he just felt that Matilda had changed so much, so he couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at her.
Was that considered as stealing glances?
With an awkward cough, William explained, “I wasn’t stealing glances at your mom, and I have no other intentions. Don’t misunderstand.”
“I see. By the way, how are things with you and Yolanda?”
Frowning, William clearly didn’t expect John would ask too.
With a stern voice, William protested firmly, “There’s nothing going on between Yolanda and me, so there’s nothing much to talk about. I hope all of you will take my word for it.”
Guffawing, John said, “Actually, if there’s really something going on between you two, no one will be against it. About you and Mom, I guess both of you are not meant to be?”
Upon thinking of Matilda’s frosty manner toward him today, William thought perhaps John was right about them—they weren’t meant to be.

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...
