Laughing out loud, Matilda teased, “What a lousy excuse! You can just tell Sophia that you missed her. Why are you being this shy?”
Chuckling, John said, “Actually, I thought she knew.”
Without uttering a word, Sophia continued with her meal.
In the midst of lunch, John received a call. Previously, he had sent his subordinates a phone number, asking them to do a thorough background check on the person.
As of now, they finally had some new findings.
Upon thinking about it, John walked out of the dining room.
Surprised, Matilda grumbled, “Is it even necessary to go out and answer the call? This fella, is he hiding something?”
With a snort, Sophia sneered, “He’s probably chatting with some lady and is afraid that we will overhear it.”
Glancing at Sophia, Matilda was speechless, but played along by nodding her head. “You’re probably right! That lady might be pregnant with his son, too. I’ll drill him later! That scumbag, don’t even think of giving him a second chance!”
After a while, Sophia smiled.
Meanwhile, John was listening to his subordinates’ report.
That phone number belonged to a housewife, and due to the fact that she wasn’t from this city, it took a while for them to track her down.
For the purpose of gathering more information, they deliberately paid a visit to the place she stayed to understand the person better.
They even sent a picture of the woman to John.
Beside that, they mentioned that the woman lived together with her husband and daughter. Living at the borders between the city and countryside, their family conditions weren’t too well off.
According to one of their neighbors, their family wasn’t that harmonious, as they could often hear them quarreling every other day.

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...
