That wasn’t too good of an explanation either.
Sophia frowned. “So you don’t like me because I was nice to you, but now that I don’t care about you, you think I’m nice?” That was confusing for her. “Are you a masochist, John?”
John clicked his tongue. “Not exactly right.” Still, he didn’t know how to capture that feeling best. Since he couldn’t word it well, John stopped thinking about it. “I used to be harsh to you, I know.” He looked at Sophia. “But I’ll make it up to you. Give me a chance, Sophia.”
Then, he took the ring out of the box, and Sophia pulled her hand back quickly. John froze, and he pursed his lips. “I’m not asking you to agree right away. I just need you to give me a chance. You can make your decision when you’re ready, but at least give me a chance.”
He held her hand again. This time, Sophia clenched her fist, but she didn’t try to break free, which made John smile. He opened her fist and put the ring on her finger.
Sophia didn’t look too happy about this. Of course, she wanted to say yes after John humbled himself in this proposal, but she felt that something was missing. Yes, something’s still missing. Every time she remembered the harsh treatment John gave her, a feeling of anger would rise up within her. She wanted payback for that.
On the other hand, John stood up slowly, delighted. He looked at her hand, and he smiled. “It’s the right size. Glad I got it right.”
Sophia looked at the ring, and she said solemnly, “I’m not agreeing to your proposal. Not everything can be smoothed over with an apology. I’m just giving you a chance.”
She squinted at it and snorted. Childish. Her and John’s initials were engraved on it. This is something inexperienced guys will do. Didn’t expect John to be as childish as they are.

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...
