Isabelle felt that she hadn’t done anything heinous to warrant such an attitude from John. Besides, their relationship had been fine all along. Even though it wasn’t especially great, he had always been gracious to her.
How could their relationship suddenly take a nosedive just after the incident at the hospital? He didn’t even care to find out the truth and simply distanced himself from her just like that.
Isabelle pursed her mouth and took a few deep breaths before she stood up. “Okay, then please carry on with your work. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
John didn’t say anything and only looked down at his file. Feeling a little embarrassed, Isabelle got up and gave him a last glance before leaving.
Upon leaving the Constance Group, Isabelle felt irritated and uneasy in her heart. She didn’t drive away at once but took out her phone and dialed a number.
On the other side, Matilda was rather surprised at the incoming call. Squeezing her phone, she looked at the number for a long time. At this hour, Isabelle should be at work, so where did she find the time to call me? In the past, she was so busy she didn’t even have time after getting off work. Yet now she’s not busy anymore.
Matilda ruminated about the past before answering the phone. Isabelle’s cheery voice drifted over as she asked what Matilda was doing.
Matilda turned around to glance at Sophia, who was lying languidly beside her and nibbling on snacks. Then, she told Isabelle that she didn’t have anything going on and was watching some boring TV show.
Sophia turned to look at Matilda and gave her a thumbs up.
Isabelle replied that she still wanted to invite Sophia and Matilda out to a meal and asked if they had time. Matilda turned to look at Sophia, who nodded.
So, Matilda agreed. “I think we’re quite free today. But, Belle, aren’t you busy over there? Don’t you have a lot of work?” She remembered how Isabelle had kept turning a blind eye to her matters with the excuse of being busy with her work.

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...
