Feeling strung up after all the unsuccessful calls, Sophia was suddenly caught in a trance when someone picked up the phone on the receiving end. Overwhelmed by her nervousness, her mouth stiffened as she failed to speak the words that were forming at the tip of her tongue.
On the other side of the call, John asked, “What’s the matter, Sophia?”
As she tried hard to fight back her tears, she uttered, “What’s wrong with you, John?! Why didn’t you pick up the damn call throughout the afternoon?”
John responded with an affirmative hum and chuckled. “Oh, my phone was on silent mode, so I didn’t hear your call.”
Oh come on! If only I could slip my hand through our screens and give him a slap in the face. Sophia then slowly organized her thoughts. “Tell me honestly. Is there something wrong on your side? Logan called up and told me that Husky is lying in the hospital right now. I heard he is in a critical condition too.”
John answered, “Oh, so this is what it is about. Husky is injured, but he is fine. We don’t know what really happened yet because he is still unconscious, but we believe he was exposed when he was searching for Roselia.” Roselia is now my biggest headache. I’m not really worried about her safety since she is quick-witted, but the only way I can entirely put my mind to ease is to find her.
Meanwhile, Sophia kept quiet for a short while and brought up her concern. “Are you in danger, John? Please! You really need to watch out!”
John laughed it off and reassured Sophia. “Come on, I’m fine! Furthermore, my men are here with me, so I doubt anyone can even lay a finger on me for the time being.”
While her husband’s reassuring words seemed to ease her mind, she contemplated briefly and asked, “Can you be back early tonight?”
Faced with her question, John let out a sigh in response without saying anything. However, Sophia understood what that meant. Then, the man continued to say, “I’m a little busy today, and I’m afraid I’ll probably be back late tonight. So, don’t wait on me. Go ahead and sleep early.”

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...
