Zack said, “He does. He’ll meet us and draw the boss’s face for us.”
John replied, “Alright, just make the arrangement on my behalf. Call me if anything happens.”
After the call ended, John put down the phone and scowled.
They had found the boss thought to be in charge of the shadow bank before this, but the person was apparently just a puppet. The bank has to be controlled by other people behind the scenes. It’s good enough that we’ve ascertained one of them now.
Facing away from him, Sophia seemed to be asleep.
John extended his hand and stroked her head. When all the problems are settled, I believe she’ll agree to marry me again. Slowly lying down, he couldn’t have a shut-eye. Right then, he thought of the person Isabelle brought with her to the hospital. The person has to be Old Mr. Bailey’s subordinate.
His conversation with Isabelle a while ago reminded him of that person. Old Mr. Bailey’s subordinate… I have an idea now…
The next morning, Sophia was still asleep. Leaning against the bedhead, John remained by her side while texting a message. Turning over, Sophia opened her eyes and asked, “What time is it? Why are you still here?”
Lowering his head, John replied, “Oh, you’re awake. It’s still early. I can go to work later.”
Sophia stared at his phone. “Who are you texting a message to? You look serious.”
Gazing at his phone, John said, “My employee has sent me a message to talk about work matters.”
It was apparent to Sophia that he didn’t want her to know, so she stopped asking. Turning over, she picked up her phone and scrolled through her social media.
When John had dressed up, he kissed her and said, “Take care of yourself.” Upon finishing his words, he turned to leave.
Sitting up slowly, Sophia gazed at the door and beamed. John is so tender to me, to the point that I don’t even know how I should respond to him. Upon getting out of the bed, she washed up and lay down again on the bed.
When she stroked her belly, she couldn’t feel any bulge, but she thought that her belly was different from the past. Having a kid inside my stomach is such a miraculous experience.
Bored but not hungry, she picked up her phone and continued scrolling through her social media. Moments later, she decided to call Logan to tell him that she planned to throw a welcome back party for Ian, now that the talent show was over.
It took Logan a long time to pick up the call, and when the call connected, she could still hear him cursing someone else.

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...
