John and Sophia looked at each other before going in. William thought something was wrong, so he wanted to call Matilda and Yolanda back, but John stopped him.
Sophia smiled. John was just inviting Yolanda out of courtesy. He wasn’t planning on her actually having dinner with them. It’d be awkward if Yolanda and Matilda were around the same table, so they ditched the plan.
Quickly finishing her dinner, Sophia went upstairs, but a while later, she called from the staircase, “Mom, did you see my plaid shirt? You kept it for me, didn’t you?”
Matilda looked up in surprise. “It’s in your cabinet!”
“I don’t see it,” Sophia mumbled. “Never mind. I’ll look around.” After a while, she came out again. “Mom, do you know where the ultrasound report is? It’s missing!”
John came out of the dining room. “It’s in the cabinet. Try looking there.”
“Oh.” Before she could turn around, William had come out of the dining room after finishing his dinner. Thus, she asked, “Done so soon, Dad?”
William paused for a moment before he answered, “Yes.”
Sophia smiled. “Go over and sit with Mom, then. Have a little chat with Ms. Bloom.” She then went to her room, not before she remarked as she walked, however, “I’m really getting forgetful these days. I keep forgetting where everything is. It’s so frustrating.”
John looked up at the second floor and smiled. She can act well.
Afterward, John came over and sat beside William. “A few days ago, my dad told me he’s worried about you. He wants to see you, but work got in his way.”
Work got in his way, but he can make time to have dinner here? That surprised Yolanda a little, but she nodded. “I’m fine. The servants are taking good care of me.” Then she continued, “I was thinking I should talk with Matilda, but my wound got in the way, so I had to delay it until today, but I didn’t expect you to be here.”
She was looking at William when she spoke, and he nodded calmly. “Yeah. I’m just here for a meal.”
A short while after Matilda started having her dinner, her phone vibrated—Sophia texted her. ‘How does it feel?’ Sophia asked. Feel what? There’s nothing but awkwardness. Maybe she was reading too much into it, but she thought Yolanda was looking at her weirdly, as if Matilda was her old, unreasonable self.

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...
