After staring at Matilda for a moment, John nodded. “Sure. I can tell that you’re not in good shape. Go out for a walk then.”
In her casual clothes, Matilda gave her hair a quick fix and headed out.
Heading to the dining hall, John took the seat opposite of Sophia. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling blue?”
“Indeed. I just don’t get what your dad is thinking. He came over two days ago, and it seemed like his attitude was genuine, but today, he is nowhere to be seen. Did you see the look on your mom’s face just now? She hasn’t been herself these two days, and he is to be blamed,” Sophia complained.
Picking up the utensils, John said, “Well, it’s really up to them, and I don’t think we should intervene. Besides, they are grownups. They know very well how to handle this on their own, so don’t let it get you down.”
Remaining silent, Sophia was still not pleased.
“Do you keep in contact with Dylan?” asked John abruptly.
Surprised, Sophia asked, “Dylan? Isn’t he your brother? Why will I contact him?”
Lowering his gaze, John said, “I see.”
“What do you suspect this time?” Sophia questioned as she rolled her eyes at him.
To that, John said, “Nothing much. I met him today. He seems to have quite a high opinion of you.”
With a smirk, Sophia sneered. “Well, he’s not blind. Anyone with brains will think highly of me.”
Letting out a heavy sigh, John knew she was firing at him.
With that, both of them didn’t continue with the topic. After eating too many snacks, Sophia didn’t have a good appetite, so she just took a few mouthfuls. Even so, she still sat around and accompanied him till he finished his meal.
Without saying much, they cleaned up the dishes together and went out for a stroll.
As usual, John would hold Sophia’s hand. Suddenly, he said, “Do you know? Initially, Grandpa didn’t plan for us to get married.”

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...
