Soon, John had someone arrange the chairs outside the workers’ quarters for everyone to sit down. Then, Sophia caringly asked them whether they were happy and used to the job. In response, the workers nodded and replied, “We have a stable job here, unlike our hometown, where we had to stay home during the winter.
Besides, we make a lot more with our current job. Apart from that, there is nothing much we can spend on other than a few bottles of beer since the rules around here have made our lifestyle more disciplined and frugal. Furthermore, we’re given gifts during every festive season, which we think is a lot better than working in our hometown.”
Upon hearing their feedback, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Buddy said, “There are a few ladies from my village who are asking whether there are any more vacancies left by chance. If there are, they’d like to come over.”
Unable to decide, Sophia shifted her gaze to John, who answered, “Well, the kitchen could use some extra hands, so perhaps you could bring this matter to your supervisor’s attention. If he says yes, that’s your green light to bring your people here.”
Buddy happily smiled and said, “Wow! Sophia, you’re really our lucky star! Our life wouldn’t be so much better if it weren’t for you.”
Feeling touched, Sophia answered, “It’s the least I could do to repay everyone’s kindness.”
Back then, the villagers would help out when they saw Sophia and her grandfather busy handling their crops. Because of that, their kindness had since etched in their minds in the years to come. Meanwhile, Buddy gazed at Sophia and said, “I heard your dad returned to the village after all of us left. I was even told that he wants to sell the house.”

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...
