Logan was indeed a master at creating the perfect atmosphere—he ordered the staff to set up a grill. Even if one was not hungry, he or she could take a few bites along with the others, and barbeque always went well with alcohol. The three of them went up and sat down around the table.
Ian poured some juice for Sophia and said, “When I first left for the training, everything was still fine. After my return, I found out that you’re going to be a mother. I’m not even sure if I should be happy for you or feel sad for myself.”
His words made her feel uncomfortable and awkward. Therefore, she lifted her glass of juice, looking straight at him. “I have always considered you as a good friend. You always show up when I’m at my lowest point, and you lend an ear to the hidden feelings that I have never shared with anyone else. From that moment onward, Ian, you have become a special existence in my life. But…”
She looked down at the glass in her hand and gulped the juice in one go. Since she was prohibited from consuming alcohol, she substituted it with juice. “But my heart belongs to someone else.”
Yes, it was true that her heart belonged to someone else. Although the man was a horrible jerk, she could not forget him.
The first awakening of love took time to die down, and one’s first love was hard to forget.
Sitting beside them, Logan stared intently at the two for a long time in silence. After a pause, Sophia added, “Ian, you’re a great man. You’re awesome. It’s me who is out of your league. I’m sure you’ll meet a more suitable lady.”
Ian smiled bitterly in a self-mocking fashion. “No matter how great I am, you still won’t fall for me.”
She was rendered speechless by his remark. At that moment, Logan let out a sigh. “When did this thing start between the two of you? Why did I have no idea about it?”

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...
