With Sophia in his arms, John kissed her on the forehead. The two snuggled for a while before heading downstairs.
It was time for dinner. The two of them saw Matilda wiping her hands and ready to go upstairs to inform everyone.
Sophia said, “Mom! Hasn’t Grandma come down?” Sophia’s way of addressing Matilda made her jump in shock.
She smacked her lips with an awkward expression and replied, “You should just call me Madam Flintstone. That way, I won’t feel any gap between us. If you call me Mom, my heart will jump, and I will feel as if I have aged.”
Sophia laughed jovially at Matilda’s funny response. “Not only you, I feel weird calling you Mom as well. Great, Madam Flintstone it is.”
Feeling a little amused by how odd the conversation could go between the ladies, John asked, “Do I need to call you by your name as well?”
Matilda glared at him. “What for? Don’t you want to be my son? Or you don’t see me as your mother?”
Faced with his mother’s chain of questions, he quickly shut up and regretted his decision to butt in. I should have listened without interrupting.
Matilda turned to Sophia and said, “Your grandma hasn’t come down yet. I’m going upstairs to notify her.” Upon saying so, she turned her body slightly to walk around John and Sophia to the second floor.
After stepping down the stairs, Sophia carefully stretched her limbs. “By the way, did Logan contact you last night?”
John grunted before answering, “Yeah, he gave me some valuable clues. Even though he is all over the place and acts carelessly, at the crucial moment, he plays an important role.”
At the mention of Logan’s character, Sophia immediately broke into a smile. “I think Logan is at Miss Hunt’s place now. I can’t explain why, but I feel that those two have something going on.”
John pursed his lips without replying.
To be honest, he had had a discussion with Logan about Lola. Even though she had made a career switch, she used to be part of the police and had some support behind her. Getting Lola onto their side to help would be much easier than dealing with the matter themselves.

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...
