Seeing as Matilda was blushing, Sophia put on a smile and rested her palms on John’s shoulders. “Alright. Stop teasing them. Please be careful on the road. I’m exhausted, so I’ll take a rest with John now.”
John nodded at his parents and followed Sophia upstairs.
When they returned to their bedroom, Sophia started chuckling. “Your parents have fallen in love again at such a mature age.”
Walking over, John pulled her into his embrace. “I also thought I would only be able to make you fall in love with me at an old age. I had done all I could to win your heart. If you never agreed to get together with me again, I really wouldn’t know what to do next.”
Sophia snorted. “What do you mean you wouldn’t know what to do next? You have many fallback girls anyway. Just give Isabelle a call, and she’ll come over immediately.”
At the mention of Isabelle, John felt helpless.
Hugging Sophia, he said in a sweet voice, “Don’t mention her all the time. I really have nothing to do with her. She’s not as good-looking and mild-tempered as you are. I’m not blind, so why would I love her?”
Sophia chuckled and clapped his hand. “As if I’d believe your sweet words!”
Leaning close to her, John said in a masculine voice, “But you like to hear it, don’t you? As long as you like it, I’ll keep being the honey to your ears.”
After Sophia stared at him for a while, her lips curved into a gentle and bashful smile.
John hadn’t seen her smile like this for a long time. Moved, he cupped her face and kissed her lips.

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...
