Matilda smiled. “Look at John. He clings onto you like a sloth on superglue, but still you aren’t agreeing to his proposal. I’m scared. What if I have to go through that before he agrees to date me again?”
Yolanda left with William in the end, just as Sophia predicted.
Matilda and John sent them off, while Sophia looked out from the window. Looking at Matilda, she presented herself well, smiling and composed.
Sitting on the passenger seat, Yolanda rolled down the window and waved at Matilda. If they didn’t know better, they’d think she and William were a couple.
As William drove away, Sophia shouted, “Hey, what are you guys doing? You can’t let them leave together. Why didn’t you hail a ride for Ms. Bloom?”
John laughed. “You’d do that, I’m sure.”
Sophia snorted and went back to her room, while John and Matilda went into the living room. “Cheer up.” He patted Matilda’s shoulder. “Dad and Ms. Bloom are just friends. Don’t you see that he looks calm?”
William did look calm, and he didn’t show any signs of dating Yolanda, but Matilda still felt uneasy about it. Yolanda did like William, and she was a great woman, so Matilda thought that was it for her. “Yeah,” she answered weakly. “I’ll be going to my room now. It’s been a long day.”
John went upstairs with her. “What did Sophia say to you when you guys were upstairs?”
“Oh, I asked if she wants to get married to you again, and she said no. That’s it.”
He then thought about it seriously. If it was in the past where his mother was still an unreasonable, clingy, mercurial woman, he would want his father to marry Yolanda. William’s mild-mannered personality was incompatible with the old Matilda, and it would only make her more unreasonable; he needed a gentler woman.
Coming out of the bathroom, Sophia went to sit on the bed and looked at her phone. “How’s your investigation going? The Isabelle one.”
John was pumped up at the mention of that. “How did you know she brought someone with her? She could have come alone.” He looked at Sophia.
Sophia glanced at him through the corner of her eye, failing to stifle her laughter as she giggled. “There’s a lot of things you don’t know.”
She deliberately told Matilda to tell Isabelle about her trip to the hospital, and she had a feeling Isabelle would follow her. About her pregnancy, Sophia had a hunch that Isabelle had known about it for a while now. Considering Isabelle’s love for John, Sophia’s baby was a big threat for her comeback. As she thought of this, she wasn’t sure whether Isabelle would hurt her baby out of jealousy, for she knew Isabelle as a smart lady who understood a lot of things many people failed to, thinking Isabelle would be more sophisticated.

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...
