William went to put on his pajamas. Just as he fastened the last button, the phone rang again.
It was Yolanda again.
This time, William picked up the phone. “What’s up?”
Yolanda was laughing from the very beginning. “Nothing, I just felt a little bored and wanted to chat with you.”
William gave a noncommittal grunt, after which Yolanda pondered for a while before saying, “I actually went to the Constance Residence today.”
Sitting on his bed, he replied, “I heard.”
Yolanda gave a rational reason. She said, “You took care of me for a long time when I was injured, so I thought that I should visit and show my appreciation.”
After brief contemplation, William replied, “No, you don’t need to be so polite.”
Yolanda’s tone was still cheerful. “I saw Matilda and Sophia over there. That surprised me.”
The truth was that she was trying to sound him out. William naturally understood her underlying intention, but he was a placid man and wasn’t concerned about it. Hence, he simply went along with it and answered, “Yeah, the two of them will be staying here in the future.”
Upon hearing his reply, she uttered, “I suppose that’s for the best. Sophia is pregnant, so she’ll get better care there.” She chuckled and continued, “It’s normal. Definitely normal.”
Her self-comforting tone sounded somewhat reluctant.
With his brows pulled together, he sighed and said, “Yolanda, we haven’t kept in contact for so many years. But we know each other quite well, and I’ve always seen you as a good friend of mine. So, I sincerely wish for you to live a good life, and I wouldn’t like to drag you along.”
Suddenly, Yolanda fell silent on the other end of the phone.
Do I like her? I suppose so, right? No matter how bad Matilda was, I couldn’t deny that we have feelings for each other after nearly three decades of married life.

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...
