Dad may be a good actor, but his frustration and loneliness are still all written on his face. Despite that thought, John only replied, “Okay. It’s getting late. You should get some rest now.” After that, he proceeded to take Sophia upstairs, while the lady looked back down at William.
At that moment, William was seen crossing his legs with an irritated look on his face. Nonetheless, she only smiled and headed to the bedroom with John. After closing the door, Sophia laughed out loud and said, “Did you see your dad’s face? I told you. It must be something to do with what happened earlier this afternoon.”
Soon, John took off his jacket, replying with a grunt in a distracted manner. Meanwhile, Sophia went to grab her pajamas before heading toward the bathroom. “By the way, what went wrong with the car?”
Upon hearing that, John paused and answered, “Oh, nothing much. It’s just that the gear knob seems to be jammed.” He brushed Sophia off with an excuse to dispel her doubts, knowing that it wouldn’t help even if she knew about it. Furthermore, he was also certain that Sophia would retaliate in a fit of rage considering her fiery temperament. He wouldn’t want her to be involved in this even during normal times, not to mention the fact that she was pregnant at the moment.
Fortunately, Sophia responded unsuspectingly with a noncommittal grunt as she went on to take a shower. In the meantime, John pondered on it for a while before he stepped out of his room and stood in the corridor to make a phone call.
Humming, Sophia came out of the bathroom when she was done, only to be surprised that John was nowhere to be found. Then, she opened the door slightly and peeked outside before she finally saw John talking on the phone at the end of the corridor. At that moment, she only pursed her lips and closed the door after a moment of contemplation.
After applying some skin products on her face, she lay in bed shortly before John came back in. She only closed her eyes, listening to John’s movements as he went to take a shower. Soon, he lay beside her, whereupon she turned around and had her back facing him as she told him, “Please stay safe.”
As John had just settled himself on the bed, he was stunned by Sophia’s words for a while before he finally caught on to what she meant. Then, he hugged her from behind and told her, “I will. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

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...
