Isabelle had to admit it herself. Because of John, she was depressed in the past, and her work had been affected now. In fact, she wished she could be a more resolute person, but it wasn’t really up to her that she fell head over heels for John.
After chugging a cup of water in the pantry, she rested a bit and turned to leave, whereupon she came across Old Mr. Bailey, who was passing by the room as he was speaking on the phone.
Forcing a smile, she was ready to go out and say hello, but after only taking a step forward, she heard her father saying, “Yes, they’re going to have dinner together. The location is decided by Belle.”
Isabelle froze and never called out to her father. Frowning, she gave it a thought and inched toward the door. With no one else in the corridor, Isabelle could still hear his voice faintly, even though he was speaking in a lowered voice. He said that Sophia and Matilda were going as well.
Naturally, Isabelle couldn’t hear what the other person said on the phone. Following that, Old Mr. Bailey giggled and said, “I’m looking forward to what they can do.”
After waiting for a while by the door, she heard that her father pushed open the door and entered his office. When it was all silent in the corridor, she slowly emerged from the door. Her family members were aware that she was going to have a meal with Matilda and Sophia. Judging from what her father had said, he was going to do something behind her back.
Pursing her lips, Isabelle waited for a bit and returned to her office. Putting down the cup, she pressed her palms against the table. Upon pondering on it for a while, she decided to step out of the room and head for her father’s office.
At that moment, Old Mr. Bailey was going through a document, so he was surprised that his daughter came to look for him. “Belle, what’s wrong?”
With an impassive expression, Isabelle walked over and took a seat. “Nothing. I’ve come to tell you that I’m going off work early this afternoon to buy a gift for John. Since I’m going to apologize, I have to appear to be more sincere.”

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...
