At an early age, Dexter was introduced to the real business world by his father, who clearly wanted him to inherit the company. Now that Dexter was gone, everyone wondered if Old Mr. Bailey could survive the blow.
At the mention of Old Mr. Bailey, Logan was reminded of Elder Mr. Bailey and grimaced. “That old man is quite ancient. After sending away his grandson, I’m afraid that he might not be able to stand the blow and pass on as well.”
In Sophia’s memory, Elder Mr. Bailey was not a mentally weak person. Even though he was at a ripe old age, he still looked tough and hardy. In his younger days, he must have been a decisive and determined person.
In his solemn eyes, one could detect a hint of unrelenting look, from which one could imagine that the family death was only a setback and not a fatal blow to him. On the other hand, Old Mr. Bailey’s situation was concerning.
The topic of Dexter’s passing was too heavy and dampened the mood, so they promptly dropped it at this point.
After downing two glasses of wine, Ian turned to look at Sophia. “Are you really not planning to remarry John?”
Having faced the same question multiple times, she felt helpless. Every time she told them that she had no such plans yet, they would be confused by the answer.
To be honest, she believed that it was fine not to remarry. Marriage was nothing but a piece of legally binding paper. Even with that paper, her previous marriage with John didn’t work out. That was the reason she gave up hope on the ceremonial aspects of marriage.
After thinking for a while, she explained, “I’m not sure what will happen in the future. But for now, I do not have any plans for remarriage. I’d rather stay this way for the time being because I’m quite comfortable with our current way of interaction. If we get along well, we’ll remain together; if not, we will part ways. That’s simpler, right?”
It’s enough to navigate the siege of marriage once in life. I genuinely have no interest in getting myself back into it, only to escape again later. That’d be too tiring.

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...
