Upon finishing his words, Dexter panted for a bit and continued, “I don’t feel happy at all, so please keep the company to yourself! I’m not going to take over it!”
With her lips pressed together, Isabelle had wanted to console him. Upon hearing what he said, she stopped her pace. Dexter is exhausted. I know he’s more burned out than I am.
While the adults had their own personal time, Dexter’s timetable was filled with activities against his will.
Old Mr. Bailey stared at him. Although he was a hot-tempered man, he had never laid his hand on his children. Perhaps he was too incensed at the moment that he raised his hand and slapped his son. “I dare you to say that again!”
Dexter’s face was jerked to the side from the force. Shocked, Isabelle scurried over. “Dad, what are you doing?”
With his eyes fixed on Dexter, Old Mr. Bailey snarled, “Go back to your room now! If you dare say you’re not going to take over the company again, I’ll fix you!”
Isabelle took her brother’s arm and said, “Let’s go to your room, Dexter. Aren’t you tired? You should take a rest.”
Dexter slowly raised his head and glared at his father for a moment before going upstairs with Isabelle.
Reaching the room, Isabelle told him to relax. In fact, she wasn’t sure how to console him. Having gone through the same path before, she didn’t have an easy life as well when she was younger, as she had to learn many different skills every day.
Born into a rich family, apart from enjoying the material wealth, they also had to take up their responsibilities. Since Dexter was destined to take over the company, he had to learn many business skills.
Gazing at him, Isabelle said, “Dexter, I know you’re finding it difficult now, but there’s no way around it. When you grow up, everything will be fine.”
Seated on the bed, Dexter remained silent.
After thinking for a bit, Isabelle turned to leave, but before she could step out of the room, Dexter called out, “Isabelle.”
The question rendered her speechless. Am I happy? I suppose I’m not happy.

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...
