Matilda spent a while calming down before she walked out of her room. When she reached downstairs, Ms. Cannon told her Sophia had gone upstairs joyfully to sleep. Matilda had to say that Sophia was superhumanly calm. She didn’t seem to have a care about anything in the world, but that was why Matilda could relax. After that, she asked Ms. Cannon what she’d be making for dinner before going to the yard, and she remained there until John was back.
John drove into the yard and came out smiling. “Why the long face? If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re fighting with Sophia again.”
Hearing this, Matilda let out a laugh. “She’s pregnant. Even if I want to, it’ll be after she goes into labor.”
John came and wrapped his arm around his mother’s shoulder, then they went inside. “Dad asked why I was in a hurry when I clocked out, so I told him you’re feeling unwell. I think he’ll come over later.”
Matilda looked at him, surprised.
John smiled. “Don’t give me that look. Sometimes it’s okay to make a white lie.”
There was no need to be completely honest, or something precious might slip away. Sometimes, being cunning was required to grasp the precious things in life.
Matilda sighed. “I can never win, can I?”
Walking over, they sat on the sofa, and John asked about the matter with Mrs. Bailey.
Matilda didn’t know much aside from what she saw. There wasn’t any real evidence of them making a deal, but Mrs. Bailey in casual wear and meeting someone was already weird enough. That clue was enough for John to construct many possibilities, so he smiled. “Got it, and you ladies stay out of this. Distract Sophia when she asks about this. I don’t want her to worry.”
Matilda nodded. “Sure.”

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...
