Isabelle understood the hidden meaning behind John’s words. Since she wasn’t the love of his life, he would never be passionate toward her. Even if they got married, their lives would be as tasteless as water. Even so, she would want to try if she could make him fall head over heels for her.
After a pause, she nodded slowly. “Alright. I understand what you mean, and I know what to do.”
They decided to stay at the cashier counter. A moment later, Sophia and Matilda came out of the room, chatting and smiling at each other as if they didn’t mind what John and Isabelle were talking about.
Turning to John, Sophia asked, “Are you done talking? Can we go now?”
Isabelle faced away from Sophia and wiped her tears with her hand.
With a milder expression, John pulled Sophia toward him. “Yes, we can go now.”
Without giving Isabelle a glance, Sophia and John walked down the stairs and reached for their car. Walking up to Isabelle, Matilda gave it a thought and clapped her shoulder before leaving the place.
Upon wiping off the tears from the corners of her eyes, Isabelle gazed at John’s car. As the car started moving, through the window, she could see Sophia saying something to John. While John’s expression remained calm, Sophia guffawed.
Why does he love this kind of woman? I don’t get it. Up until now, Isabelle still didn’t think she was inferior to Sophia. Although she could understand John’s choice, she remained unresigned.
After waiting for a bit, her phone started ringing. Her father called her to ask where she was. Without telling him her location, she replied that the dinner was over, and she was ready to go home now.
Without getting the answer he wanted, he questioned again, “I’m asking where you are. Didn’t you say you are going to have Japanese cuisine?”

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...
