John hugged her from behind. “I’ve been holding it in, Sophia.” Confused, Sophia kept quiet, then he said rather depressingly, “All I can do is hug you. Any man would find it hard to hold it in.”
Sophia finally knew what he was talking about. She muttered clearly, “Well, you can sleep outside, then.”
John quickly went into silent mode, and he lay down on the bed quietly, but Sophia couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking of how he had taken care of her and how he didn’t go out there to flirt. He must be holding it in hard.
Then she remembered the news about John leaving the bar with a woman, and she let out a sigh. It still didn’t sit well with her. Sophia didn’t think much of it when the news first came out, but now it rubbed her the wrong way, so she pried his hand that was on her waist away. “Don’t touch me.”
John, still ignorant about this, was surprised. “What’s wrong?”
Sophia put some distance between them. “Don’t touch me. Leave me alone.”
John misunderstood her. He thought she was doing this so he could hold his urge in better, so he smiled and lay on his back. “I can hold it just fine. It’s been a long time now, so what’s a month or two?”
Sophia ignored him. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, forcing herself to sleep. Once John thought she had fallen asleep, he went over to hug her gently. Sophia wasn’t asleep yet, but instead of breaking free, she frowned and held it in.
They were woken up the next morning by Sophia’s phone. When she grabbed it and checked who the caller was, she almost smashed her phone. Why are they calling at this ungodly hour? She hung up and put her phone under the pillow, but the caller, refusing to give up, called again.

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...
