When Ian was back to training, he felt more relaxed.
As for William, he returned to the office in the afternoon but arrived rather late. Instead of heading straight to his office, he went to John’s.
John happened to finish reviewing and signing a document, after which he leaned into his chair and pinched between his brows in fatigue. William walked up and sighed before dragging a chair and sinking into it across John. Seeing his father, John immediately asked, “Is everything settled at the Baileys?”
Faced with John’s sudden question, William pursed his lips. “There’s no way to settle things. It’s so messy over there.” Among the members of the First Bailey Family, everyone was in shambles except for Isabelle.
The Second Bailey Family had been long oppressed by the First Bailey Family, which placed them in an unfavorable position. When the tragedy happened, they could not help to run the family as relatives from close and far all flocked to the Bailey Residence to join in the chaos. Thus, things began spiraling downward at the Baileys.
According to William, the hospital would release Dexter’s post-mortem report with the toxin analysis by tomorrow. At that time, they would know the exact cause of death. When the paperwork was settled at the hospital, it would be in time for Dexter’s burial.
Since Dexter was too young, the family could not arrange a grand funeral for him. The most they could do was to invite relatives over for a simple ceremony. Then, they’d pick a grave plot to bury him.
Earlier today, Old Mr. Bailey rambled to William about various bizarre topics, further proving that he was grieving over his son’s death. In the midst of the ramblings, he even mentioned John.
In his perfect plan, he envisioned John and Isabelle married, which would help the Bailey Family greatly. When the Baileys’ business was in Dexter’s hands, it would grow and expand—Dexter would end up more successful than his father.
Knowing that Old Mr. Bailey was under distress, William didn’t take his words seriously or retort. There was no chance for John and Isabelle to date at all because Sophia was pregnant. Judging by John’s attitude, he was determined to stay with Sophia.

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...
