At first, John thought that the file was work-related, but when he flipped it open, he realized that it was a report of the investigation they ran on the Baileys. It was too complicated, so John only skimmed through it before saying, “Just leave it here. I’ll slowly go through it. It’s so thick!”
Zack clicked his tongue at the comment. “Yeah, the Baileys have too many issues. I sent someone to investigate and opened a can of worms. How annoying! They even reported some insignificant details to me.”
John grunted. “Yeah, you’ve put in a lot of hard work.”
Zack was obviously tired as he replied, “I’ll leave you to deal with this. I’m heading back now—there are piles of work waiting for me.”
John sat in his chair for a while and made a call to Sophia. It took her some time to pick up the call, and she inquired if he was done with the Baileys. Frankly speaking, John didn’t need to do anything for the Baileys except for showing up. Thus, he replied, “Yeah, there’s nothing to deal with anymore. I just wanted to know what you’re doing.”
She told him that she wanted to meet with Matilda, for she couldn’t hold back her need to gossip and wanted to check with Matilda about the events from last night.
To that, John reminded her to be careful on the road. He agreed that she should meet up with Matilda, or else she’d be bored to death at home. Now, Sophia found good company in Matilda and they could chat with each other to relieve their boredom. The two didn’t chat further and hung up.
At home, Sophia went downstairs and ordered the bodyguard to drive her to Matilda’s place. Their car finally entered the highway halfway down the mountain when the driver warned, “Mrs. Constance, sit tight. I’m going to accelerate.”
She immediately understood his meaning and turned around to stare at the cars behind them. “There’s something wrong, am I right?”
At the back, Sophia felt a little afraid; she was mostly worried that something might happen to the baby she was carrying. Even though she had not reached the latest stage of pregnancy, she had suffered a lot during this journey. Please don’t let anything happen to the baby.

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...
