Zack sat down on a chair. “Sophia’s smarter than I think. I couldn’t have found out about this guy if it were up to me.”
To that, John smiled. “She’s always been smart. I used to think she wasn’t, but now I know I was wrong.”
She used to appear naive and dumb, but that was only because she loved him too much. That inevitably made her lose all personality, but after the divorce, her true character resurfaced.
“You look happy every time you talk about her,” Zack commented.
John chuckled. “You’ll know why when you fall in love.”
“I wonder how frustrated Isabelle would be if she sees you talking about someone else so happily.” Zack sighed. Then, he continued to say, “I looked into her again in case I missed something, but still I couldn’t find any clue that points to her as the culprit. Unbelievable.”
John squinted. “Maybe she is innocent.”
“Maybe,” Zack replied. “Or maybe it’s because of my prejudice. I just don’t think she’s completely innocent.”
John smiled. “Don’t think too much about it. It’ll affect your judgment.”
When he heard that, Zack gave him a look. “Did you never suspect her?”
John paused and stared at Zack. “Of course I did. She’s at the top of the list.”
On the other hand, Sophia and Matilda were taking a stroll that afternoon. Even though they were in their neighborhood, there were still bodyguards following them, much to Sophia’s chagrin.
Isabelle asked her out on a shopping session. “The mall’s holding some great events.”
“I see,” Matilda replied. “I thought you’re busy at work. Done with your business already?”
Isabelle sighed. “No, but then my work is endless, so I thought I should back off for a bit. I have my own life, and it’s important that I relax sometimes.” She giggled. “I just met a client, so I want to take a detour and avoid going back in the afternoon.”
Matilda chuckled. “I see.”
Then, Isabelle asked if she could go with her right away, and Matilda looked at Sophia before saying, “Sure. I don’t have much to do for now.” Delighted, Isabelle said she’d meet up with Matilda at the entrance of a mall.

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...
