Sophia only agreed after a long pause. John knew that she really wanted to join in the fun, but she really shouldn’t go. Putting his arms around Sophia’s shoulders, he took her into the living room and told the others that he had something to do, so he would be leaving first.
William, Matilda, and Old Mrs. Constance all knew what he was going to do, so they didn’t probe any further and only told him to come back as soon as possible. John patted Sophia’s head before turning around and leaving.
Sophia pouted, still looking unhappy. Seeing her unsatisfied look, Matilda beckoned to her. “Come and sit down.”
Going over and sitting next to Matilda, Sophia grumbled to her in a low voice along the lines of John refusing to bring her out with him. Matilda stroked her back. “If you go over, he’ll have to look after you. You’re now pregnant, so it’s only right that you go out less.”
Sophia pulled a long face and stopped talking.
Lady Jennifer looked at them both before laughing. “Matilda, your relationship with Sophia has improved by a lot. I’m really envious. It would be great if I can have such a good relationship with Dylan’s wife in the future too.”
Chuckling, Dylan said nothing. Following that, Matilda looked at Lady Jennifer. “Sure, I believe you will. You’re good-natured, so it will be easy for you to get along with the younger generation.”
With eyes filled with some kind of emotion, Lady Jennifer looked at Sophia. Sophia was feeling grumpy, so she only glanced at Lady Jennifer for a brief second before withdrawing her gaze. She didn’t care to wonder about what the other woman was thinking.
As she was in a bad mood, she went upstairs shortly after. But she couldn’t sleep, so she went to brush her teeth and then sat on the bed, checking her phone.
It had been a long time since she watched Ian’s talent show. Therefore, she decided to click into it, but after some thought, she closed the application.
Those who had watched the show commented about how depressed Ian had become. They were all wondering if his relationship was going downhill. After all, he had markedly mentioned his girlfriend a few times before, but later, he stopped bringing her up and became dejected. Thus, everyone inevitably guessed that there was really a problem with his relationship.
But despite Ian’s misery, the number of his fans continued to rise. Some of the fans liked this side of Ian. His persona of a melancholic and lonesome upper-class man caused many of his fans’ imaginations to run wild.
Ugh… I don’t care whether others like this side of Ian. I definitely don’t like him like this, period!

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...
