Yolanda pursed her lips and responded with an affirmative grunt while waving at William. As the man drove away, she only stood in place with her eyes glued to his car. Meanwhile, William was looking at Yolanda from the rear mirror just as the reflection of her figure slowly diminished and disappeared out of sight. A few moments later, he revealed an indifferent expression on his face.
Well, I’m not going to fall for Yolanda’s last few words. It might have seemed like she was backing down, but I know that she was trying to pressure me. This is why women like her are never my cup of tea. She is making it seem like I’m the reason she can’t go for a movie. Does she really think I’m too dumb to read between the lines after all my years of experiences in the commercial world? She is going to have to try harder to make me fall for that.
Soon, William arrived home, only to find that John and Sophia were still not back, while Old Mrs. Constance had already hit the hay upstairs. He threw his necktie aside and sank back in the couch. After a brief contemplation, he finally gave in to his curiosity and called his son up. At that moment, John happened to be having a great time while playing poker with the others.
When John answered the call, William was able to hear Matilda rejoicing in her victory before Logan grumbled, “Come on! Why is it me again? Where is my blackjack?”
Matilda laughed and said, “You still have a lot to learn, kid.”
John smiled, waiting until Matilda had finished her words before he asked William a question. “What’s up?”
Upon overhearing the conversations in the background, William made a guess. “Are you guys playing a card game right now?”
John replied, “Yeah. Since everyone is here, we’ll just play for a while.”
Matilda’s laughing voice was accompanied by the sound of the cards being slapped onto the table. “Money, money, come to Mommy!”
Sophia patted John and told him, “Pay for me.”
John nodded and said, “Alright. It’s on me.”
Logan then snorted unhappily. “This isn’t fair. The three of you are family, and you guys ganged up on me!”

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...
