This was the first time Isabelle would describe herself as pitiful. Unable to sleep anymore, she left her room in an attempt to go downstairs to get a bottle of wine.
Reaching the staircase, she suddenly stopped in her tracks because someone was entering the house at that instance. Startled for a moment, she then reflexively moved to the side to hide.
After that person stepped into the living room, he waited for a bit before turning on the light. Instead of going upstairs, the person took a seat on the couch.
Isabelle stuck out her head and realized that the person was her father. He was clad in tracksuits, so he appeared younger than his usual self. However, his gray hair was an indication of his old age.
Seated on the couch, Old Mr. Bailey placed his palms on his knees and took a rest. A while later, he fished out his phone from his pocket and started texting a message.
With a frown, Isabelle couldn’t understand why her father had gone out in the middle of the night.
After he was done with sending the message, he rose from the couch.
Seeing this, Isabelle decided to sneak back into her room. Leaving a gap at the door, she stayed there to listen to what was going on outside.
Her father entered Philippa’s room, and after a few minutes, he came out of the room. Standing in the corridor, he let out a long sigh.
The sigh was so loud that Isabelle could hear it in her own room. She knew that her father was upset. Basically, everyone in this house was distressed.
However, since the tragedy had happened, there was no use crying over spilled milk. Hence, they had to learn to accept this fact. Rather than living in misery, they should look forward to the future.
A while later, her father returned to his room and closed the door.

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...
