Sophia then looked away. “Thanks.”
Thinking that she liked the dress he had picked out for her, John smirked. “Do you like the dress I’ve chosen?”
Sophia grunted and closed the wardrobe, whereupon she directly got changed into the dress in front of him. With her clothes on, her bulge wasn’t conspicuous, but after she took off her clothes, it was obvious that her belly had grown larger.
Grinning, John stretched out his hand to stroke her belly. “Your belly has grown bigger. It feels like only a short period of time has passed.”
Gazing at her own belly, Sophia said, “John, not long after we were divorced, you told me you wanted to remarry me. What were you thinking?”
John was startled as he never expected that Sophia would mention this.
At that time, Matilda took a sneak shot of their divorce certificate and sent it to the Baileys. There were rumors that he and Isabelle had gotten together, so her reputation had been affected negatively. With the photo in their hands, the Baileys threatened John to expose the fact that he had divorced Sophia.
In fact, John wasn’t willing to do that because he understood Sophia very well. If the fact that they were divorced were exposed, it would be hard to win her heart again.
When he told Sophia he wanted to remarry her, she rejected the request directly.
After hesitating for a bit, John turned around and hugged her from behind. “I felt terrible at that time. Previously, I found you very irritating, but after you left, I realized that I couldn’t live without you.”
Smiling faintly, he continued, “The situation wasn’t in my favor. It seemed that I was forced to sever ties with you. Then, I asked myself how I would feel if you were no longer part of my life. I thought I would feel terrible.”
After a pause, he went on to say, “Sophia, perhaps at that time, or even earlier than that, I had fallen in love with you, but I wasn’t aware of that fact myself.”

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...
