Scoffing, Sophia hoisted herself up before John helped her into the bathroom. As he watched her brush her teeth from the bathroom door with a gentle smile on his face the whole time, she peered at him from the mirror and snorted.
The way he looked at it, she didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, she was just playing hard to get. Despite the fact that she had been rejecting him, her attitude toward him had obviously changed.
Recalling their past, John hugged her from the back and whispered into her ears, “Are you really not considering marrying me again? I’ll hold an even grander wedding for you.”
However, Sophia didn’t want to hear this and spat, “Buzz off.”
Nibbling at her ear, he said, “There are, in fact, many girls who like me. Don’t you feel threatened at all?”
Sophia dodged him and snorted. “Many girls? Yeah, right, like Isabelle.”
Almost instantly, John froze and the look on his face shifted. Isabelle was a topic that shouldn’t be mentioned.
Sighing in frustration, he said, “There’s really nothing between me and Isabelle. I wasn’t considerate enough in the past and couldn’t give you a sense of security.” Spinning her around, he met her eyes with an earnest look. “But it won’t happen again in the future, really.”
Right now, Sophia didn’t believe in these so-called promises as they were utterly meaningless. Shoving him aside, she snapped, “That’s enough. Actions speak louder than words.”
Just when she came out of the bathroom, Matilda happened to come into the room with breakfast. Originally, Sophia wasn’t hungry, but the smell of food made her decide otherwise.
Casting a look at John, Matilda said, “You’ll be having your breakfast downstairs. I’m not serving you.”
Silently, John watched Sophia dig in for a while before going downstairs with Matilda following behind. Tilting his head to look at her, he told her, “Be careful here at home. I discovered a camera on the door panel. Looks like someone has been here.”

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...
