“See you later.” Then, Matilda hung up and sighed. “This is the first time I’ve heard Isabelle sounding so happy to see me. Say, I was dumb, wasn’t I? Everyone thinks they can play me like a fool.”
Sophia nodded. “Yeah, you were dumb.”
Matilda’s face fell. “Hey, you should be consoling me, not rubbing salt on my injury.” She snorted. In response, Sophia giggled. A moment later, Matilda looked at the time. “I have to go back and change. Let’s see what she wants to pull this time.”
When they came back into the house, Sophia went to her room, while Matilda went to change and dressed up a bit. “I’m going now,” she told Sophia and went for her appointment.
Matilda still looked as elegant as she used to, and when she arrived at the mall, Isabelle was already waiting on the long bench at the plaza before the mall, looking pretty leisurely.
Matilda went up to her. “Have you been waiting for a long time, Isabelle?”
Isabelle quickly stood up. “Not really, Miss Flintstone. I went around for a bit.” Then, she held Matilda’s arm politely. “Let’s go in and have a walk around.”
“Sure.” Matilda didn’t show her disgust.
The mall’s stores were stocking up on the new season’s fashion items, and with it came various events. Matilda and Isabelle went shopping the whole afternoon, and Isabelle was generous enough that day, for she even bought two shirts for Matilda. Even though Matilda kept saying she’d pay for her own stuff because Isabelle’s generosity came off wrong, Isabelle dismissed it. “It’s fine, Miss Flintstone. You used to give me a lot of gifts, so consider this repayment.”
Isabelle’s overly warm welcome was making Matilda fidget, for she never saw Isabelle acting this way. Halfway through their shopping session, Matilda looked at the time and called Ms. Cannon.

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...
