Jennifer then tried to excuse herself. “Oh, it’s about time. I suppose I should get changed and set off soon. Goodbye for now, Sophia. Stay safe.”
Sophia nodded while keeping a straight face upon seeing Jennifer’s reaction. At the same time, the latter stopped in her tracks, turning around before heading back into the house as her fake smile faded away. Soon, Sophia came to understand why Matilda used to ride roughshod over Jennifer. Someone has to do something to keep her mouth shut!
At the thought of that, Sophia suddenly missed Matilda, finally learning to appreciate Matilda’s genuineness after she had changed for the better. Although Matilda was more mild-mannered than before, Sophia still believed that this lady was revered and feared for her previous reputation.
Sophia continued to sit in the garden until John came back home in the afternoon. Then, both of them held hands together and returned to the main building. Upon seeing John return, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t seem surprised as she sat down with her grandson and said, “So, it seems that your dad isn’t coming back for lunch. Does he have it alone or with Owen and Samuel?”
John looked at Old Mrs. Constance in surprise. “Haven’t you figured it out, Grandma? How would Dad possibly settle lunch by himself or with Uncle Owen and Uncle Samuel? He is with Mom now.”
Clicking her tongue, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Oh yeah. Why haven’t I thought of that?”
Sophia laughed in amusement, suddenly finding John and his grandmother adorable and lovely. Soon, lunch was ready, but Sophia wasn’t hungry yet. So, she sat there and watched while Old Mrs. Constance and her grandson had their lunch. Later, the conversation slowly revolved around Jennifer when Sophia began to complain about how she had been bragging about Dylan’s girlfriend.

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...
