Matilda laughed it off and said, “This is just the beginning of your problems, and there will be a lot more coming in the future. So, you should be like me and learn how to let go. Sometimes, things can be hardly evitable, and there is nothing they can do about it.”
In fact, William had also stayed in the company before when he got too busy back then. As a workaholic, he would even be missing from home for a few days in a row. Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with Matilda, as she argued with William and told him she didn’t want a married life like that. Although William made a promise to change every time, he still did the same thing again and again.
When arguing and complaining didn’t seem to work, Matilda began to get over it and accept the unchangeable fact. It was at that moment that Matilda realized that she had also made sacrifices in those days before they separated.
Sophia responded with an affirmative hum. “I called John this morning, and he said he might be back earlier today.”
Hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, she grinned as she said, “Both of you are still young. When you reach my age, you probably won’t care whether he comes back.”
Old Mrs. Constance sat there with a chuckle. “Are you sure that’s really how you feel? William basically goes to your place every day. So, I’m pretty curious to see the look on your face if he doesn’t show up one day.”
Faced with the funny comment, Matilda paused before she burst into laughter. “Oh, come on, Old Mrs. Constance! You didn’t have to embarrass me.”
After that, both ladies laughed in amusement while Sophia sat aside and forced a smile on her face. John hasn’t sent me a text since he called this morning. I wonder how he is doing over there. A few moments later, Sophia was reminded of Isabelle’s missed call the day before. Could that woman have something she wanted to tell me?

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...
