Putting on a half-smile, Sophia didn’t answer his question directly but said, “Back then, if you’d really got together with Isabelle, you’d probably live a happy life. Isabelle seems like an understanding woman and would be very submissive toward you. Your feelings for her would surely grow.”
Standing still, John turned to face Sophia and stopped her from walking further.
Noticing the indifferent expression on her face, John told her in a serious manner, “In this world, there’s no such thing as if. I’ve married you and fallen in love with you. This is reality now. There’s no point thinking about what could have happened. Sophia, are you bothered by the past? How can you possibly be sure that Isabelle and I will end up happy? Back then, you were really submissive to me too, but I still didn’t feel comfortable with you. Would it be any different if it was Isabelle? You’re being really unfair to me.”
Seeing that Sophia didn’t say anything, John sighed. “Sophia, you need to know this—I only have you in my heart. Seriously, I don’t feel secure at all knowing that you’re thinking of those unnecessary things.”
Feeling amused, Sophia almost couldn’t hold in her laughter.
It was surprising to know that John would actually feel insecure as well. In regards to relationships, she thought only women needed a sense of security.
A few seconds later, Sophia impatiently acknowledged what he said. “Fine. Got it.”
Slowly pulling her into a hug, John confessed, “Sometimes, I really don’t know what to do with you.”
What to do with me? Spoil me rotten then. What else? Sophia thought.
After taking a stroll around their area, both of them went home, but Matilda was still not back yet.
Glancing at the time, Sophia said, “It’s not exactly early anymore, but Madam Flintstone is still not back yet. Where could she have gone?”
Darting a side glance at the clock, John suggested, “Let’s wait for a little while longer. She’s probably in a really bad mood.”
As soon as Ms. Cannon was done cleaning up, Sophia and John waited for Matilda while watching television.
Meanwhile, Matilda apparently didn’t wander off too far. Coincidentally, she bumped into someone, and they sat down in a cafe for a little chat.
Now, the tables were turned. What an irony indeed.

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...
