Not knowing what she had sent, John decided to ignore it and placed his phone back on top of the bedside table.
At that, John wondered why did she even bother to send a message this late?
Hugging Sophia in his arms, he fell asleep again.
Meanwhile, Isabelle held onto her phone tightly, but still, she had yet to receive a reply from John.
Gazing at the time, Isabelle figured it wasn’t that late. Besides, judging from John’s current position, he got caught up with work so often, he rarely got the chance to go to bed early.
Looking down at her phone, Isabelle was contemplating whether to resend another message, just in case.
She hadn’t been in contact with John for the longest time ever. Initially, she thought of giving him the brushoff for a short period of time because she was too clingy toward him.
However, after giving the cold treatment, it indirectly gave John and Sophia a chance to be close with one another.
As of now, even Matilda and Sophia got along really well together to an extent, Isabelle felt she had missed out so much.
Thus, she felt really worried these few days and intended to do something, but didn’t know where to start.
After waiting for a little while longer, Isabelle put down her phone and turned to walk out of her room.
Once she got downstairs, she took out a bottle of red wine, opened it, and went upstairs with it.
Taking the stairs up to the first floor, Elder Mr. Bailey coincidentally walked out of his room. Surprised to see her, he asked, “Belle, aren’t you asleep yet?”
With that, Elder Mr. Bailey saw the bottle of red wine she carried with her. With a heavy sigh, he immediately got the picture. “My child, you…”
Hesitated, he didn’t know what else to say to comfort her.
“Goodnight, Grandpa, and sleep well,” greeted Isabelle as she bowed her head and walked toward her room.
Without bringing a glass with her, Isabelle took a few mouthfuls directly from the bottle.
Undoubtedly, she was confident that she had the chance, but how did it slip away in a blink of an eye?

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...
