Despite having no appetite, John knew that he would go hungry later in the afternoon without lunch. Even so, he was not in the mood to eat alone.
Zack laughed and suggested, “I’ll order takeout, and we’ll eat together.”
John didn’t reply as Zack walked toward the door. He opened it, but upon giving it some thought, he paused and turned around to add, “It’s true, boss, that ever since you got back with Sophia, you’ve become warmer. I like you more than before.”
John snickered to mock Zack’s observation. With the exception of Sophia, he did not care about anyone taking a liking to him.
When Zack was gone, John leaned into his chair and picked up the document for a quick look. However, his mind was only full of Isabelle’s words from before.
At that time, her expression was sorrowful but solemn. It was likely not a coincidence that she warned him about his safety.
He thought of it as a concerned warning. Isabelle must have known something but was not in the position to speak out. Therefore, she could only send me a reminder. A piece of information that she knows but is reluctant to reveal must be related to the Baileys.
He fished out a cigarette pack from his pocket, from which he took a cigarette and placed it between his lips. He did not light the cigarette and left it hanging there.
Lately, too many events happened at the same time, affecting his focus on work even though he was physically present at his office. He gave up and began to sort through the thoughts in his mind, one after another.

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...
