John leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh. “On the contrary, I really wish for her to be angry, but that woman is so open-minded now. Even though I stayed in the study with Isabelle till late into the night yesterday, she wasn’t even mad about it. In fact, I was the one who became mad about it.”
Shocked, Zack stared at John. “What did you and Isabelle do in the study so late at night?”
John took a document from the table and threw it at Zack. “What could we do? What else could I do with her? Obviously, we were discussing business matters.”
Zack hurriedly avoided the attack and then waved his hand. “Okay, okay. I get it. I get that you were discussing business matters. I’m sure you didn’t have time during the day, so you had to discuss at night right in front of Sophia. The two of you closed the door, right? There were only two of you, right? It’s okay. I’m certain that both of you were innocent and did not harbor any indecent thoughts. You guys didn’t do anything wrong. You don’t need to explain. No explanation needed. I totally understand.”
Zack clearly understood nothing, for every word he said was like a knife that stabbed at John’s heart, making him stand up angrily.
Seeing that, Zack hurried to the door. “Don’t be angry. I swear we’re of one mind. We still have to deal with those people in the Bailey Family, so we can’t have infighting.”
John stared at him. “I guess you don’t want an increment, eh?”
Back at the Constance Residence, Sophia was sitting in the garden, a little confused. Actually, there was nothing going on between John and Isabelle; she knew that. She could also somewhat understand why John did what he did.
Thus, Sophia reflected on herself and wondered if she had acted too apathetically recently. Is that why John was acting so childishly? But shouldn’t two people who have been together for a long time behave this way to each other? Did he really need to use Isabelle to upset me? He clearly knows that I’m not on good terms with Isabelle.

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...
