Instead, Sophia merely rolled over and found another comfortable position. Frankly, she was already awakened by John, and she was now only resting with her eyes closed.
Slouching over her, John muttered something so softly, as though he was speaking to himself but also telling it to her at the same time. “Grandma had the dates checked and found a good day to have a marriage registration. She said that marriages on that day will be lasting.
Even though I’m not a superstitious person, I would like to register our marriage on that day to have an auspicious start.” He sighed. “I know that you’re unwilling and you can’t forgive me in such a short span of time. And I also know that I hadn’t treated you well before, but I’ve never, ever cheated on you. From the beginning until the end, between Isabelle and I, there was only the arranged engagement and nothing else.”
His voice was gentle and soft as he continued, “Even after the divorce, I wasn’t thinking of getting together with her. At that time, I was confused and merely wanted to live the best of my life. I didn’t consider having a fresh start with anyone. You have to believe me that I’ve never lied to you.”
Pursing her lips, Sophia listened to every word he said.
John stroked her belly and murmured, “Can you please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes?”
Releasing a heavy breath, she finally spoke, but she wasn’t commenting on anything he had said. “I can’t even nap in peace. You’re getting more and more annoying, John.”
Her words took him by surprise and he broke into a light chuckle. Sliding himself next to her, he appeared happy as he said, “You’ve been awake this whole while and heard everything I said, haven’t you?
I’m telling you that everything I said is true. I’ve never, ever cheated on you.” Then, he snuggled closer to her and gave her a kiss. “You weren’t this heartless back then, Sophia. Look how upset I’ve become.”
Opening her eyes, Sophia stared at him and said, “I see nothing, except for how you’re becoming more shameless than before.”

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...
