After brief contemplation, John took his phone over and looked at it. It was apparent in the call log that Isabelle had just called, and the call lasted less than a minute. Sophia had probably picked it up.
Setting the phone to silent mode and putting it back on the bedside table, John lay down and hugged Sophia from behind. Sophia was clearly jolted awake from her sleep, hence, she huffed drowsily and reproached, “So annoying.”
John went along with what she said. “It’s so annoying that she called in the middle of the night without any discretion.”
Sophia couldn’t help chuckling. “You’re more annoying for flirting around.”
Kissing the back of her head, he whispered, “No, I didn’t flirt around. I just want to flirt with you. I don’t have the energy to bother about others.”
Sophia couldn’t be bothered to debate with him. Shifting slightly, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep. She slept so soundly that she didn’t even know when John left in the morning.
When Sophia woke up, she felt very lethargic. She tossed and turned in bed but didn’t feel like getting up. After lazing around for a while, the door opened, and Matilda sneaked in. She was still in her pajamas. When Sophia glanced at her ex-mother-in-law, she was somewhat surprised. “Didn’t you sleep well? Your dark circles are so bad.”
Matilda pursed her lips. “No, I didn’t sleep well. There’s something that I would like you to help me analyze. I couldn’t understand it after pondering about it for the entire night.”
Before she could tell Sophia what it was, the latter laughed. “What’s wrong? What did your ex-husband do to make you so anxious?”
John had a meeting in the morning. Upon walking out of the conference room, he saw Dylan’s office door open when he was heading toward his own office. But it wasn’t Dylan who came out; instead, it was Isabelle.
As expected, Isabelle was now handing over all collaboration matters to Dylan, so it was normal for her to come out of his office. Upon noticing John, Isabelle seemed stunned. She then spoke first, “Hey, John.”

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...
