Sophia wasn’t really adamant about it, so she said it was fine if he was busy and couldn’t come, since it was just a gathering for dinner; it wasn’t really important anyway.
John grunted in agreement. “I’ll see if I can finish up earlier so that I can head over right after that.”
Although Sophia didn’t ask him what he was going to do, she still reminded him to be careful. John grinned at that. “Don’t be worried. No one would dare to touch me.”
Since he was confident about it, Sophia felt way more relieved. After she hung up, she glanced over at Matilda. It seemed like Matilda hadn’t contacted William yet. In fact, she looked rather conflicted.
Sophia questioned with a hint of a laugh, “Why hadn’t you called him yet? Are you shy?”
Matilda pushed her hair back. “I just don’t know what to say to him.” If John could come, Matilda wouldn’t have to call William as he might be able to bring William along with him.
Sophia started laughing. “Why don’t you know what to say? Aren’t you two quite close now? Just tell him to come over for dinner. I don’t really see anything wrong with that.”
To be honest, Matilda felt like she was overthinking about it as well. She wasn’t like this in the past and she wouldn’t have felt awkward to ask William to come over for dinner. After taking a deep breath, Matilda took her phone and stood up. “I’ll go out to make the call.”
Sophia didn’t say anything but merely sighed after Matilda left the private room. Previously, she did tell Matilda to put on a bit of a show, but Matilda’s acting was obviously a bit too much now. She still needed to take the initiative sometimes.
After Matilda left the private room, she stood next to the window sill in the hallway. To be honest, she didn’t know why she felt bashful. The last time William went to her place, he had asked her something ambiguous. He asked Matilda whether the Constance Residence or her own place was nicer.

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...
