Zack said okay and hung up, then John went downstairs to tweak the surveillance cameras.
Meanwhile, Sophia opened her eyes. D*mn. Being so vulnerable makes me sick. She went for her phone and took a look at the date. The next checkup is around the corner. I bet they’ll make their move then. She sat up and tried to come up with something, and out popped a plan.
The tweak didn’t take long, and the technicians left after that. Ms. Cannon went to tidy up, and John was in the yard, making a call, then he came up. When he came in, Sophia was still lying on her bed. She was getting less inclined to move around now.
John caressed her face. “I’ll be going to the company now, but someone will be standing guard. It’s fine, so don’t worry.”
Sophia grunted. “Yeah.”
John stared at her for a while before leaving the room. Instead of going to the company, he went to the mall and made a beeline for the jewelry store.
The shopkeeper was already waiting for him. “It’s here.” He was then led to the VIP room in the store. After staying in the shop for about twenty minutes, John finally came out with his purchased item, and then someone called out to him.
He looked back to see who it was, and in came Isabelle. She was in her office lady attire and presumably just finished meeting her client.
She was moving stiffly after seeing John. “I saw you a while back and I wondered if I should say hi. And as you can see, I did.” She flicked her hair back. “I hope I haven’t caused you any trouble. It’d be a problem if we can’t work together because of this.”
John smiled. “It’s fine. I don’t mind it, so relax.”

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...
