Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 181

Before, it was always Sonia who stood there and watched him leave. He always knew, but he had never once looked back at her.

And now, it was finally his turn to stand in place and watch her leave.

As it turned out, it could be so upsetting to watch someone leave without even being spared a backward glance or a response.

Toby lowered his head slightly and stroked his chest, which felt bitter and slightly tingling.

In the parking lot.

Sonia and Charles arrived at their car.

Charles opened the car door and said, “Darling, do you think something is wrong with Toby? Why did he come all the way here to apologize to you personally?”

“Only God knows,” Sonia replied uninterestedly and ducked her head to get into the car.

Charles also got into the car at the same time. “I really couldn’t understand what this man was thinking.”

Sonia smiled. “If you could read his mind, your achievements today would be the same as his. Alright, let’s drive. Otherwise, Mrs. Lane will call and ask us why we haven’t arrived yet.”

“Fine.” Charles nodded and started the car.

On the way, Sonia’s cell phone rang all of a sudden.

She opened her eyes, took her phone out, and looked at it with a somewhat surprised look on her face.

Charles caught her expression and asked hurriedly, “Who is it?”

“It’s Carl!” Sonia answered the call after replying.

As soon as Charles heard that it was Carl, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

“Hey, Carl!” Sonia yelled into the phone with joy.

Carl’s gentle voice spread through the phone. “Sonia, do you have some time to spare in a few days?”

“I think so… What’s the matter?” Sonia asked.

Currently, she had taken over half of the management power from Asher, and her right to speak in Paradigm Co. had gotten much higher now. She didn’t have to do a lot of things by herself;

instead, she could order her subordinates to do it in her stead.

Therefore, she could make time.

“My work abroad is coming to an end. I plan on returning home in a few days, and I was thinking of having a meal with you,” Carl replied with a smile.

“Sure. Thinking back, you’ve been on a business trip for two months now-it’s about time for you to be back already. Alright, call me when you’re back; I’ll pick you up at the airport then.” Sonia agreed to his invitation.

“Okay,” Carl answered, and then squinted his eyes. Although his voice was still gentle, there was a hint of coldness in his tone. “Sonia, how have you been doing in the past two months? Did Tina and the rest bully you?”

When he had just started his business trip, he was not that busy with work, so he could pay attention to the news to see what was happening in the country.

However, when he got busier later on, he didn’t have much time to pay attention to the news anymore-so he couldn’t tell if Tina and the others had bullied Sonia.

“I’m fine. As for Tina and the others…” Sonia’s smile faded a lot. “Don’t worry. You know I’m someone who always bite back, so they had what was coming to them.”

“Based on what you said, it means they really did bully you, right?” Carl lowered his eyelids to cover the chill in his eyes.

Sonia smiled. “Hey, now. Didn’t I tell you I am not easy to mess around with? So don’t worry, and know that I am fine. By the way, isn’t it still nighttime on your side of the globe? Go and rest up!”

Seeing that she didn’t want to say any more, Carl didn’t push it any further. He twitched the corner of his mouth and showed an eerie smile. “Okay. I’ll hang up first, then. We’ll talk more when I see you in a few days.”

“Okie dokes. See you in a few days!” Sonia nodded.

After the call, Charles asked, “Carl is coming back?”

“Yeah. In a few days,” Sonia put away her phone and replied. Charles coughed and continued, “Carl seemed to be asking if Tina and the rest had bullied you. Am I right?”

“Yes. He is worried about me—that’s all.”

“Well, well, well. It seems that Tina and the others should worry about themselves now.” Charles smiled gloatingly.

Sonia looked at him suspiciously. “What do you mean?”

“Nothing.” Charles shook his head; he was not going to elaborate.

“Really? Because I feel like you’re hiding something from me.” Sonia narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Charles straightened up from his seat. “Nothing! It was really nothing!”

“Nevermind, then. I don’t care anyway.” Sonia rolled her eyes and stopped looking at him.

Charles heaved a breath of relief softly and was snickering in his heart.

It’s a good thing that Carl decided to come back. That guy is a lunatic, he thought to himself.

With him here, Sonia would be much safer, while Tina and the others would definitely suffer too.

Thinking about it, Charles couldn’t manage to hold back a chuckle.

Sonia glanced at him, not knowing what he was laughing about, but she did not ask about it, and instead put on her headphones to listen to some music.

The next day, which was also the weekend, Charles accompanied Sonia to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, Sonia got out of the car and stood at the gate of the hospital. She looked up at the big sign of the hospital but did not lift her foot to walk in for a long time.

Charles parked the car and came to her. Watching her hesitance, he had guessed something, so he said softly, “Darling, if you’re scared, let’s not get the abortion and just keep the baby.”

Sonia retracted her gaze and shook her head, her gaze firm. “No. I want to do it. I admit that I am a little scared, because I have never had this kind of operation, but it would be unfair to the baby if I kept it because I was too afraid. After all, I don’t love it, and I can’t give it maternal love.”

A child should grow up in a loving family, with two loving parents. The baby in her belly was conceived because of a night of recklessness. She didn’t love the child’s father-how could she even begin to bring herself to love this child?

What was more, even if she kept this child, it would not have a father. Even though the father said very clearly that he was willing to raise this child, he did not want to recognize it as his own which meant this child would still be an illegitimate child.

Therefore, instead of allowing this child to come into the world to suffer, it was better not to let it. be born in the first place.

After thinking about it, Sonia took a deep breath, settled her emotions, and raised her foot to walk into the hospital.

Charles also quickly followed.

After taking their queue number, the two walked toward the Obstetrics and Gynecology department.

Not far away, Tina watched the two disappear into the elevator. She bit her lower lip and went to the registration desk. “Hello, missy. May I ask about Miss Reed just now? What department is she heading to? I am her friend, and I noticed that she has been in a bad mood recently, so I followed her all the way here. I didn’t expect her to actually come to the hospital. So could you please tell me? I am really worried about her.”

The worry on Tina’s face looked sincere, and the nurse was moved by it. She then turned over to take a look at Sonia’s registration record and told Tina, “She’s going to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department.”

Hearing the name of the department, Tina lifted the corner of her lips slightly, but she quickly cleared up her expression and switched back to her worried look just now. “I see. Thank you, missy.”

“It’s nothing.” The nurse waved her hand.

The moment Tina turned and left, the worry on her face disappeared suddenly, and now, her face was full of excitement instead.

She took out her mobile phone and dialed Tim Lancaster’s number. “Hey, Tim. Sonia came to the hospital. I thought she would choose another hospital. I didn’t expect that she would come to yours. I’ll leave the rest to you, Tim.”

“Alright. Don’t worry.” Tim’s glasses reflected the light as he pushed the rim.

As soon as Tina put down the phone, Toby approached her while frowning slightly. “Tina, didn’t I tell you to wait for me at the gate of the hospital? Why did you come here?”

Tina’s eyes flashed, whereupon she smiled and replied, “Sorry, Toby. I just saw someone familiar, so I chased them in a hurry and forgot what you said. Please don’t be mad at me.”

She hugged his arm and shook it, acting like a child.

After all, she wasn’t lying. When she was waiting for him at the entrance of the hospital, she saw Sonia and Charles, so she hurriedly hid and quietly followed them in.

She came over to see a psychiatrist, yet she happened to meet Sonia and Charles for a birth check-up. Well, isn’t this great? I’ll be able to end Sonia once and for all today! she thought gleefully.

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 182

“Who was it?” Toby asked,

Smiling, Tina replied, “A classmate from university, but she doesn’t recognize me anymore. All right, Toby. Let’s not talk about this anymore, Let’s go to the psychiatric department.”

Toby didn’t think much of it and simply bobbed his chin in agreement.

Meanwhile, after Tim ended the call with Tina, he contacted the gynecologist again. “The woman I talked about last time has already gone to your side, so be careful not to reveal anything.”

“Understood, Director Lancaster,” the person on the other end replied with a nod.

Tim grunted, then hung up.

Accompanied by Charles, Sonia reached the outside of the consultation room at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department.

“Charles, you can wait for me outside,” Sonia said while turning to face Charles, who was beside her,

“Till follow you in,” He was a little worried about her.

However, Sonia shook her head in refusal, “No.”

Since she was so stubborn, Charles had no choice but to reluctantly agree. “Okay. I’ll be waiting for you here. Call me if anything happens. I’ll go in immediately.”

“Okay,” Sonia gave him a smile, then walked in.

The doctor in the consultation room set down the landline in his hand when he saw her coming in, and something flashed across his eyes.

“Miss Reed, we meet again.” The doctor smiled and greeted Sonia.

Sonia sat down opposite him, feeling a little surprised. “Doctor, you remember me?”

“Of course. The last time you came here, I was the doctor who assessed you. I’ve always had a good memory,” the doctor answered.

The corners of Sonia’s lips twitched, “I see.”

“Miss Reed, did you come here because there’s a problem with your baby?” the doctor asked after taking her registration form.

Sonia shook her head. “No. This time, I’m here because I want to get an abortion.”

“Abortion?” The doctor was visibly stunned.

Sonia nodded. “That’s right.”

The look on the doctor’s face was a mix of complicated emotions. “Are you sure?”

“Of course,” Sonia replied affirmatively.

All of a sudden, the doctor was silent.

Originally, he thought he was going to have to make up an excuse such as fetal malformation or the mother’s body being unsuitable for pregnancy to deceive her and get her to agree to getting an abortion.

To his surprise, she came this time to abort her baby, which saved him a lot of effort.

“Miss Reed, since you’ve given it careful consideration, then when do you plan to abort the child? I can ask the hospital to arrange the operation.” The doctor looked at her belly.

Sonia tightened the hand on her stomach, and instead of rushing to answer him, she lowered her gaze, seemingly thinking about something.

The entire time, the doctor observed her expression. Seeing her like this, he was a little afraid that she would regret it at the last minute and be reluctant to get rid of the baby in her belly.

Squinting, the doctor calmly persuaded her. “Miss Reed, things like this cannot be delayed. The more you delay it, the older the baby will get, which isn’t good for the mother’s body, so you have to decide earlier.”

“Then, get it done as soon as possible,” Sonia replied after taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.

In fact, when the doctor asked her when she planned to abort the child, she did feel a sense of reluctance, which was why it took her quite a while to answer the doctor.

But even though she was reluctant, she must be resolutely ruthless.

I’m sorry!

Sonia apologized to the child in her stomach, then signed the abortion consent form.

As the doctor watched her sign the document, he was relieved, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

“Miss Reed, I just checked the system. Many pregnant women’s surgeries have been scheduled for the next two days, so yours will be scheduled in the afternoon two days later,” the doctor said gently as he took the abortion consent form Sonia had just signed.

Sonia nodded. “All right. Then I’ll come back in two days.”

“Okay,” the doctor answered with a smile.

Standing up, Sonia walked out of the doctor’s office.

“Darling.” When Charles saw her coming out, he quickly took her hand. “When’s the operation?”

“In two days,” Sonia replied.

Charles rubbed his chin. “Two days later. Two days later is good too. At least there is a buffer period for you to adjust your mental state. Shall we go back now?”

“Let’s go back.” Sonia took a look at the time before the two of them walked toward the elevator.

Standing at the door, the doctor watched as their figures disappeared down the corner of the corridor. He closed the door, then turned back to his desk and picked up the landline on the desk to make a call.

The person on the other end of the line seemed to have been waiting for the call. As soon as the call was made, he answered, “What’s the situation?”

“Director Lancaster, the task is complete. She’s signed the abortion consent form,” replied the doctor.

Tim adjusted his posture. “Very well. When is the operation scheduled for?”

“In the afternoon two days from now.”

“I see.” With that, Tim hung up and gave Tina a call..

At this moment, Tina was sitting on the sofa in the psychiatric consultation room. Although the doctor had yet to arrive, she was still flustered and confused.

Even though Tim told her not to worry, she was still utterly afraid that she would expose herself later, because once Toby found out that she didn’t have dissociative identity disorder at all and was just using it as a front to unscrupulously deal with Sonia, Toby would certainly cut off all relations with her even if he still regarded her as the person he loved.

Therefore, she mustn’t expose herself.

Sensing how nervous the woman next to him was, Toby turned to look at her. “Tina, are you okay?”

Tina’s face was a little pale, but when she heard his question, she forced a smile. “I’m fine. It’s just that it’s my first time seeing a psychologist, so I’m a little nervous.”

“It’s okay. I’ll be with you the whole time.” Toby stroked her hair.

“Toby, you’re the best,” Tina replied softly, but deep down, she was rather agitated.

If possible, she would rather he didn’t accompany her.

It was precisely because he was here that she was even more afraid.

However, Tina dared not let her internal struggles show.

At this moment, her phone rang.

Upon taking a look, Tina saw that Tim was calling. Her gaze darkened, and she stood up all of a sudden. “Toby, my mother is calling. I’m going outside to answer the phone.”

“Okay.” Toby didn’t suspect that she was lying and simply gave a slight nod. “Go ahead.”

Opening the door, Tina left with her phone.

In order to not be heard, she walked a little farther before answering the call. “Tim, how did it go? Have you succeeded?”

“Yes, but the operation will be in two days,” Tim replied while pushing up his glasses.

Tina couldn’t conceal the excitement on her face. “That’s great. If it’s in two days, so be it. I’ve been waiting for so long, so what’s another two more days? T’im, for the operation in two days, you must-”

“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange it.” Tim cut her off.

Undoubtedly, Tina wasn’t worried about Tim’s ability. She knew that as long as she wanted something, he would make sure it was done, because he firmly believed that she was his savior, despite the fact that she didn’t know why he would think she saved him.

Nevertheless, so what if he did? Since that was what he thought, and he was willing to do things for her, why shouldn’t she accept it?

“All right. Then, I’ll leave this to you, Tim,” Tina replied while smiling.

After that, the two of them exchanged a few more words before ending the call.

Tina put away her phone and looked around. When she saw that no one was around, she went back into the clinic, pretending as if nothing had happened.

As soon as she entered, she found that there was another person inside-a foreign old man in a white coat.

Tina’s heart tightened. She immediately realized that this old man was the psychiatrist Toby had sought for her.

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 183

Sure enough, when Toby saw her return, he called her over. “Tina, come here. Let me introduce you to Dr. Steve, an internationally renowned psychology professor.”

Tina tried her best to continue smiling, then walked over with stiff steps.

Steve looked at her, then stretched out his hand and said in fluent Espanian, “Hello, Miss Gray. I heard Dr. Lancaster talking about you before. Don’t worry. I’ll treat you well and won’t let you down.”

After saying that, he winked at her.

All of a sudden, realization dawned on Tina.

Tim had bribed this man, so he was now on her side.

And he had said it very clearly-he wouldn’t let her down.

His implication was that even if her acting skills were terrible, he would give her a medical certificate stating that she was indeed sick.

At this thought, Tina immediately stopped worrying. She became more relaxed and stretched out her hand to shake his. “Okay. Then, I’ll count on you.”

“It’s no problem. Miss Gray, please sit down.” Steve withdrew his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

Toby proceeded to pull out a chair for Tina.

She smiled at him, then took a seat.

Steve sat down on the opposite side. “President Fuller, Miss Gray, are you ready? I’m going to start the diagnosis now.”

“Tina.” Toby looked at her.

She nodded. “I’m ready. Dr. Steve, you can start now.“

“All right.” Steve pushed his glasses, then took a pocket watch out from the pocket of his white lab coat. “Miss Gray, next, I’ll hypnotize you to try to awaken your alter. Don’t be afraid. Just do everything as I say.”

“Okay.” Tina nodded, but she was clutching the corner of Toby’s clothes with a frightened expression on her face. “Toby, will you stay here with me?”

She peered feebly at him.

Steve was on her side anyway, so she didn’t have to worry about him telling her that she didn’t

have dissociative identity disorder.

When Toby saw the frightened look in Tina’s eyes, his heart softened as he squeezed her hand. “Okay. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll be here with you.”

Tina smiled.

Then, Steve began the hypnosis.

Tina closed her eyes and leaned on the sofa, seemingly asleep.

Toby watched as Steve put away his pocket watch, then he looked at the motionless Tina, and his brows furrowed with worry. “Dr. Steve, will the hypnosis affect Tina?”

“Don’t worry, President Fuller. She won’t be affected. She’ll wake up soon, but when she wakes up, she’ll be another person,” Steve answered.

Toby squinted his eyes.

Of course, he knew who he was referring to as the other person-he was referring to Tina’s alter.

All along, he had never seen her before, so was he finally going to meet her now?

“Miss Gray, you can wake up now.” Steve brought his hands to Tina’s ear and clapped.

Clap!

As soon as the sound rang out, Tina, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight.

Toby studied her, a little unsure whether she was Tina or her alter.

After thinking for a while, Toby pursed his thin lips and tentatively called out, “Tina?”

“President Fuller, I’m Liana. It’s the name I gave myself,” Tina said with a wicked smile on her face, her voice enchanting.

Looking at the alter, whose personality was completely opposite from Tina’s, Toby fell silent.

Tina stood up and walked toward him. “President Fuller, we finally got to meet.”

Toby frowned while taking a step back, but he still didn’t answer.

He didn’t like her alter, and one could even say that he was rather disgusted by it.

Besides the reason being that he found this personality to be too evil, there was another reason that he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

When Tina caught sight of the disgust in the man’s eyes, the evil smile on her face stiffened, and she felt even more hateful.

Just now, when she pretended to be hypnotized, she was thinking about how her alter should act. After contemplating it for a long time, she eventually decided to act as her true self.

That was right. Her current behavior was her true colors; the way she normally acted was just a disguise. She didn’t expect that Toby would hate the real her!

Tina lowered her gaze and suppressed the resentment in her heart. The wicked smile returned to her face as she looked at Toby once more. “President Fuller, why are you looking at me like that? It’s making me sad.”

“Why do you keep on targeting Sonia?” Toby asked coldly, pursing his lips and ignoring her fake sadness.

This made Tina even angrier.

We just started, yet he’s already asking about Sonia. Does he care about her that much?

“Why, you ask?” Tina sneered shamelessly. “Because I hate her.”

Toby’s frown intensified. “That’s all?”

“Of course not!” Tina twirled a strand of hair around her finger and began explaining. “The main reason is because she makes Tina very insecure. Tina’s afraid that she’ll snatch you away. Even if you repeatedly say that it won’t happen, Tina always minds Sonia’s presence, and so I was born.” She tossed her hair back, then said, “My duty is to protect Tina. As long as she’s unhappy or feels that Sonia is getting closer to you, Tina will feel threatened, and I will show up to punish Sonia.”

“Punish?” The look on Toby’s face was nasty. “But what you’ve done these past few times was try to cause her death!”

“What’s wrong with that?” Tina spread out her hands. “As long as Sonia is dead, Tina will never feel insecure again. How nice would it be to settle the matter once and for all!”

Toby clenched his fists, and his face darkened considerably. “Dr. Steve, wake Tina up.”

He didn’t want to see this alter anymore. Her viciousness was beyond his imagination.

Therefore, this alter must go!

“Okay, President Fuller.” Steve stepped forward and shot Tina a look.

Understanding his message, Tina blinked, then cooperated and fell asleep.

“Dr. Steve.” Toby looked at him. “Is there any way to get rid of Tina’s alter?”

Originally, he wanted to merge Tina’s alter with her own personality.

However, the viciousness of the alter made him realize that they couldn’t be merged. Once they became one, it was unknown whether Tina would turn evil as well.

So, the best way was to completely eliminate the alter.

On the sofa, Tina heard Toby’s question, and she couldn’t help but ball her hands into fists.

Toby actually wanted to get rid of her alter.

Although the alter didn’t exist, it existed in Toby’s perception.

And now, Toby actually wanted to destroy it. What made it worse was that the alter’s character was her actual personality.

Obviously, Steve didn’t expect Toby to ask this so suddenly. After sweeping a glance at Tina, who was on the sofa, he nodded and said, “It can be done, but judging from the situation just now, Miss Gray’s alter is already very mature and powerful. If we want to eliminate it, it would be impossible to get it done in a short time. It would at least take a really long time.”

“I see. Then, please do your best to cure Tina,” Toby said while rubbing his temples.

Smiling, Steve nodded. “I will. Now, allow me to wake Miss Gray up.”

Toby murmured assent.

In no time, Tina opened her eyes and woke up.

She looked around in confusion, then saw Toby and asked suspiciously, “Toby, just now, I…”

“You’ve just been hypnotized.” Toby reached out and pulled her up.

Tina patted her forehead. “That’s right. I remember now. Dr. Steve hypnotized me to summon my alter. Toby, did my alter show up?”

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 184

“Yeah, she showed up.” Toby nodded.

Tina’s gaze flickered. “Then… how is she like?”

Toby frowned but didn’t answer.

Upon seeing this, Tina pretended to be worried. “Toby, is she horrible and evil?”

“It’s all right, Tina. Don’t think too much.” Toby stroked her hair. “I’ll get Dr. Steve to treat you well and eliminate that alter.”

“Eliminate?” Seemingly shocked, Tina covered her mouth. “Why do you want to eliminate her? Didn’t we agree to merge our personalities?”

“We can’t do that. Your alter is too evil. I’m worried that after you merge, your personality will change as well,” Toby replied in his deep voice.

Tina nodded, “Oh. All right, then. We’ll do as you say, Toby.”

She lowered her eyelids and clasped her hands together.

It turned out that to him, the real her was an evil presence.

“Dr. Steve.” Not noticing Tina’s small movements, Toby turned to look at Steve, who was opposite from him.

“President Fuller, please proceed,” Steve pushed his glasses up and said with a smile.

Toby nodded. “As for Tina’s treatment, please create a plan for me. I want to know the progress of Tina’s treatment at all times.”

“Okay,” Steve responded.

Afterward, Toby and Tina walked toward the entrance of the room, ready to leave.

As soon as they walked out of the consultation room, they saw Tim approaching.

“Is the first consultation over?” Tim asked after stopping to look at the two of them.

“It’s over. What brought you here, Tim?” Tina smiled.

Tim placed both hands in the pockets of his white coat. “I had just finished my surgery for today. I remembered that you guys were here, so I came over to take a look. How’s Tina’s situation?”

He looked at Toby, who massaged his temples. “It’s rather serious. Her alter is already very mature, and she’s the same age as Tina.”

“Is that so? Seems like it’s quite serious.” With light reflecting off his glasses, Tim asked, “Then, what are you guys planning to do next?”

Tina stuck her fingers together. “Toby said to just get rid of her.”

“Is that true, Toby?” Tim raised an eyebrow.

Toby lifted his chin. “Well, that alter can’t stay.”

Tina lowered her head, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

When Tim saw her like this, he more or less guessed something. Pushing his glasses up with his middle finger, he said, “If you want to destroy an alter, it’s not a simple task, and you might not be successful. You’ll have to take your time.”

Toby lifted his wrist to look at his watch, then said in a cold voice, “I know that, which is why I asked Dr. Steve to try his best to treat her. All right. We should get going.”

Tim stepped aside to make way for them, and he even made a polite gesture showing the two of them out.

Lifting his feet, Toby walked forward with Tina following closely behind him.

When passing by Tim, she suddenly turned back to wink at him.

Tim’s lips curled up into a smile.

It was just a small gesture, but the two of them obviously communicated something.

However, Toby didn’t notice any of this.

After Sonia and Charles returned to Paradigm Co., they plunged straight into work.

Because Sonia was going to undergo surgery in two days, she must stay in the hospital for two days.

During those two days, she wouldn’t be able to work, so she could only finish the work of those two days in advance. Otherwise, it would pile up later, and her workload would increase.

In the afternoon, Charles received a phone call from his assistant asking him to go back to attend a meeting

Only then did Charles set down the pen in his hand, stretch, and get up from his chair.

“How much more?” Charles asked while pounding his shoulders.

Sonia shook her slightly aching head, then looked at the table next to her and let out a bitter chuckle. “My pile is still this high!”

She made a motion to indicate a very high pile.

Charles sighed. “There’s still so much, huh. You can’t finish them alone in two days either. I’ll take half of them back to my office and deal with them, then I’ll bring them back two days

“Okay. Thank you, Charles.” Sonia took a sip of the scented tea he made for her.

Charles gave a dismissive wave. “What are you thanking me for? Although Paradigm Co. is stable now, and I’m not needed much, I still have the title of director, so it’s something I should do.”

With that, he proceeded to pick up half of the documents.

Sonia then called Daphne in. “Daphne, Charles is going back. Please see him off.”

When Daphne heard this, a trace of joy flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she nodded formulaically. “Yes, President Reed.”

After that, she made a gesture toward Charles. “President Lane, this way, please.”

Charles looked at Sonia. “Then, I’ll leave first, darling.”

“Go on!” Sonia waved at him.

Then, Charles and Daphne went out.

Sonia stretched her neck, prepared to continue working hard.

At this moment, her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that Zane was calling.

“Hello?” Sonia brought the phone to her ear.

When Zane heard her voice, his voice softened subconsciously. “It’s me.”

“I know.” Sonia’s brows furrowed. “What’s the matter?”

“Can’t I call you even if nothing’s up?” Zane said nonchalantly while leaning against his car.

Rolling her eyes, Sonia answered, “You’re free, but I’m not. Alright. If you have anything to tell me, please do. If not, I’ll hang up first. I still have things to do.”

“Don’t, don’t. I’ll talk.” Zane was afraid that she would actually hang up, so he quickly straightened up and became serious.

Sonia clamped the phone between her ear and her shoulder. “Go ahead.”

“Two days ago, didn’t you say that you were going to the hospital to abort the baby? Have you gotten rid of it?” Zane asked, sounding concerned.

Initially, he wanted to ask her in the morning, but he figured that she might be undergoing the operation in the morning, so she might not be able to answer even if he called, which was why he held back till now.

“Not yet. Did you call just to ask me this?” Sonia was a little amused.

Zane gave a light cough. “Yes. We’re friends, so I need to care about you.”

“Thank you,” Sonia said with a smile.

Zane chuckled joyfully. “You don’t have to thank me. It’s only right for me to do so. But, if you haven’t had your operation yet, does that mean you’re not planning to abort it?”

“No. The hospital has operations planned for these two days, so my operation is scheduled for two days later,” Sonia answered while handling the documents.

Zane came to a sudden understanding. “I see. I thought you didn’t want to get an abortion anymore.”

“Of course not. I’m a very resolute person,” Sonia said.

Zane’s lips moved, as if he was hiding something. He hesitated for several seconds before speaking. “Does my friend know about your plan to get an abortion?”

Her hand holding the pen halted, but Sonia quickly recovered and said quietly, “I didn’t tell him. After all, the child is in my belly. According to our country’s law, I have the right to get rid of it without his knowledge.”

“I know, but he must be held responsible, right?” Zane frowned.

Sonia turned a page of the document. “There’s no need for that. What happened that night was both of our faults; it’s not his alone. So, I don’t need him to be responsible. That’s enough. Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I’m still very busy.”

Sensing that she obviously didn’t want to say anything more, Zane had no choice but to end the call.

He set down the phone and scratched his head, irritation clear on his face.

What does she mean, both of their faults? He watched the surveillance footage from that night. Only Sonia was drunk; Toby was completely sober.

The situation was as such, yet that incident still happened between Toby and Sonia. Obviously, Toby was the only one in the wrong-Sonia was drunk, so she couldn’t possibly have done anything to Toby. Even if she wanted to do something to Toby, he was a big man; couldn’t he push her away?

Hence, it was obvious at a glance who was in the wrong.

Toby must be responsible for Sonia. Why should Sonia bear it alone?!

At this thought, Zane’s expression was cold as he dialed Toby’s number.

At this moment, Toby was driving Tina home.

When he heard the phone ringing, he answered through the bluetooth in his ear. “Who is it?”

“It’s me!” Zane replied loudly.

Toby frowned. “What’s the matter?”

Zane was about to speak when he suddenly heard a soft female voice coming from his end of the line. “Toby, who is it?”

“Toby, is Tina next to you?” Zane asked, his face turning gloomy.

Toby glanced at Tina, who was in the passenger seat, then gave a faint hum.

“Forget it. Let’s talk about it later. When Tina isn’t around, call me.”

With that, Zane hung up.

Toby narrowed his eyes.

If Zane called him so suddenly, he obviously had something important to tell him, but he wanted to avoid Tina.

It seemed like what he had to say wasn’t about business, but Sonia.

“Toby, who called you just now?” Tina asked curiously when she saw the man silently looking down.

Something flickered in the man’s eyes. “Zane. He wanted to discuss business matters.”

“Oh.” Tina nodded, not at all suspicious. “By the way, Toby, will you go to the charity auction that’s happening in a few days?”

“Of course. Mr. Laughlin was a close friend of my late grandfather, and Grandma hasn’t recovered yet, so I’ll go on her behalf” Toby answered as he turned the steering wheel.

Tina clapped her hands. “That’s great. I’ll be going with my parents, but I don’t have a dress yet. Toby, can you accompany me to buy a dress tomorrow?”

She looked expectantly at him.

There was a slightly apologetic look in Toby’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Tina. Tomorrow, there’ll be foreign investors present, so I can’t go with you. I’ll arrange for two female secretaries to accompany you.”

“That’s fine.” Tina lowered her head, a little upset. “I’ll ask Cynthia to go with me.”

Soon, they arrived at the Gray Residence.

Remembering Zane’s phone call, Toby declined Julia’s invitation to dinner and drove back to the Fuller Group.

After entering the office, he loosened his tie while taking out his cell phone before returning Zane’s call.

Zane had been waiting for his call, so when he saw the phone ringing, he immediately picked up. “Has Tina left?”

Toby murmured assent. “What is it you wanted to tell me?”

“I wanted to talk to you about Sonia’s pregnancy,” Zane said.

Toby narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, if he was avoiding Tina, it was either about business or Sonia.

“What happened to Sonia?” Pursing his lips, Toby asked in his deep voice, his tone clearly laced with concern.

Zane heard it, but he didn’t expose him and simply acted as if he didn’t notice.

After all, Toby still wasn’t aware about his feelings for Sonia.

If he exposed Toby’s concern for Sonia, then Toby might discover his feelings for her.

By then, there would be a huge obstacle in his pursuit of Sonia.

“She’s okay, but she intends to get an abortion,” Zane replied, leaning against his car.

Toby’s expression changed slightly. “Get an abortion?”

“Yeah.”

“How do you know?” Toby’s grip on his phone tightened abruptly. Zane shrugged. “She told me personally, of course.”

Told him personally…

Toby pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and his expression was extremely unpleasant. There was an unspeakable sense of anger and agitation in his heart.

He was obviously the child’s father, yet in the end, he had to hear about whether or not his child was going to be kept from someone else.

“Toby, are you still there?” Zane called out when he didn’t hear any sound from the other end of the phone.

Toby lowered his gaze, then said in a cold voice. “When did Sonia tell you that she intended to… get an abortion?”

When he mentioned the words ‘get an abortion’, he paused–something he rarely did—and there was a sense of urgency in his chest.

Although he was mentally prepared that Sonia might not want to keep the baby, when he actually heard it, he was filled with complicated emotions.

“It’s been two days.” Zane combed his hair back.

Toby felt the air pressure around him drop instantly. “And you’re just telling me now?”

“I forgot about it.” Zane shrugged, then smiled. “Besides, I thought Sonia told you, but I just asked and found out that she didn’t.”

From his voice, Toby could hear how pleased and proud he was, and the air pressure around him dropped even lower.

“So, why did you call today?” he asked in an unpleasant tone.

Zane knew that he was jealous and furious, and the corners of his mouth curled up. “I’m just calling to tell you that Sonia’s operation is in two days, so you should decide how to be responsible for it.”

When the call ended, Toby’s brows furrowed even deeper.

Operation in two days…

He could forget about Sonia’s not telling him about her decision to get an abortion, but she didn’t even plan to tell him the date of the surgery.

Toby’s handsome face darkened considerably as he clicked on his conversation with Sonia on Messenger.

At Paradigm Co., Sonia was still handling the documents when she heard her phone vibrating. Squeezing the bridge of her nose, she retrieved her phone and took a look.

When she saw that the message was from Z-H, her back stiffened slightly, and she clicked in to check. “Are you planning to get an abortion?’

Sonia pursed her red lips. ‘How did you know?’

Z-H: “Zane told me!

Sonia thought of her phone call with Zane just now, and she rolled her eyes.

That blabbermouth!

Sighing, Sonia replied: ‘Yes, I plan to get rid of it!

Z-H: ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’

Sonia bit her lip. ‘It’s not necessary, is it?’

Z-H: ‘But I’m the child’s father?

Sonia: ‘So what? If I told you, you’d agree anyway, so why should I take the trouble to do that? I might as well just go ahead with the abortion!

Upon seeing Sonia’s response, Toby’s face darkened.

There was no denying that what she said was right.

She didn’t want the child and wanted to abort it. Naturally, he would agree, so it really didn’t matter if she told him, but…

Toby’s slender fingers typed out a reply. “I told you that regardless of whether you want to keep the child or not, I’ll be responsible?

Sonia: ‘No, you don’t have to. Let’s not talk about this matter anymore.”

After sending it, she quit the app. He might have sent her more messages afterward, but she didn’t check.

When Toby saw that Sonia didn’t reply to his last message, he couldn’t help but feel a little exhausted.

He truly wanted to see her and ask her if she could be less stubborn.

However, if he did, his identity would be exposed.

“Tom!” Toby yelled, knitting his eyebrows together.

Tom opened the door and walked in. “President Fuller, how can I help you?”

“Go to the bank and ask how much money Paradigm Co. borrowed.” Toby said.

Although Tom was surprised, he didn’t ask further and simply nodded in response. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, not long after Sonia set down her phone, Daphne came back with an invitation card in hand. “President Reed, this is an invitation card from the Southfield Family “What invitation?” Sonia raised her head and took the black and gold invitation card from Daphne.

Daphne explained, “It’s an invitation to the charity auction. The Southfield Family is well-known for being charitable in Seafield. During recent years, they’ve been keen on protecting wildlife, so all the funds collected at the end of this charity auction will be used for wildlife protection.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded to indicate that she understood.

Daphne looked at her. “President Reed, are you planning to go? If you want to go, I can rearrange the itinerary for that day.”

“Of course I have to go. I have to show the Southfield Family some respect. But I remember that everyone who’s invited has to donate an item to be auctioned, right?” Sonia asked.

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 186

Daphne nodded. “Yes.”

Sonia rubbed her temples in distress. “Then it seems that I have to think of something to donate.”

“Don’t worry about it, President Reed-for this kind of charity auction, the invitees would generally donate some jewelry or some antiques.” Daphne said.

Sonia smiled. “I see. I’ll donate some jewelry, then. Also, do you have some time tomorrow? How about choosing a dress with me?”

The next day was Sunday, and since they didn’t have work, Sonia proposed to go shopping.

However, Daphne shook her head apologetically. “I’m sorry, President Reed. My mother arranged a blind date for me tomorrow.”

There was bitterness in her eyes despite her smiling. It was obvious that she didn’t want to go on a blind date.

Sonia noticed her reluctance and thought for a while before saying, “How about you tell your mom that you have to work overtime tomorrow?”

“I’m afraid that’s not going to work. I have already refused several times with the excuse of working, and my mother said that I should just resign if I have to work overtime this time around -so I have to go.” Daphne sighed.

After hearing this, even Sonia was clueless on how to help her.

Daphne bowed slightly. “President Reed, I still have some pending work, so I will take my leave first.”

“Alright. Go ahead.” Sonia smiled and nodded. After Daphne left, she closed the invitation card and put it in the drawer before continuing to work on the documents on her desk.

The next day, Sonia asked Rebecca to choose a dress with her instead. The two of them walked into the dress shop named Wanika. The brand’s high quality was extremely popular among young women all over the world. As its design was also very exquisite, it made people fall in love with it at first glance.

Sonia stood in front of the dress stand, carefully looking through the dresses. Next to her, Rebecca seemed to have found a good one. She immediately stretched out her hand to take it and bring it over to Sonia. “President Reed, how about this one? I think it suits you well.”

“Really? Let me take a look.” Sonia turned around to look, only to see an off-shoulder long white dress in Rebecca’s hand.

The dress did not have too many intricate designs, but the fabric of the dress had a sheen to it, which was particularly eye-catching. If the light of the venue was dim, then this dress would be the most dazzling of all.

“It’s not bad at all!” Sonia couldn’t hide her interest in the dress.

Rebecca handed it to her. “Shall we go and give it a try?”

Sonia nodded and agreed, “Okay!”

Just as she was about to ask the retail assistant next to her where the dressing room was, a familiar female voice suddenly rang from behind. “Miss Reed, would you mind giving me the dress in your hand?”

Sonia frowned upon hearing that voice. Similarly, the smile on Rebecca’s face suddenly disappeared. “President Reed, it’s Tina Gray.”

“I know.” Sonia looked at Tina and Cynthia, who were walking toward her, as she raised her eyebrows slightly.

In fact, Sonia was surprised to see Cynthia. Cynthia is already out?Well, if I were keeping track, she has indeed served her time, but she actually still chose to follow Tina again after she came out? It seems that she still takes Tina as a friend, but that is such a foolish thought. How could she not realize that Tina doesn’t even feel the same at all! she thought to herself.

“Do you want this dress?” Sonia looked at Tina, who was standing in front of her, and raised the dress in her hand.

Tina nodded. “Yes. I like it very much. I wonder if you’re willing to give it up for me, Miss Reed.”

She actually meant it—she really liked this dress. But of course, the truth was that she simply wanted to grab the dress that Sonia liked.

“Why should she?” Rebecca took a step forward to stand beside Sonia while she looked at Tina coldly. “We found this dress first. Don’t you not know the ‘first come, first served’ rule?”

“Even if you found it first, can you even afford it?” Cynthia stood up and confronted Rebecca, not wanting to be outdone.

“You need not worry if I can or cannot afford it, but all I know is that you can’t afford it.” Sonia looked at Cynthia calmly.

Although the Stone Family was considered wealthy, it was obviously impossible for her to buy a dress worth millions.

Needless to say, Cynthia, too, was aware of her own situation. After Sonia publicly shamed her that she couldn’t afford it, she felt both angry and embarrassed to the point her face was blushing.

Rebecca, too, sneered mercilessly, “Oh, seeing how arrogant you were just now, I thought you were rich-so you were pretending after all.”

“You…” Cynthia’s eyes were red with anger.

Tina patted Cynthia on the shoulder and looked at Rebecca with a smile. “Miss Harper, it’s true that Cynthia can’t afford it, but I can give it to her. But what about you? Can Miss Reed give it to you?”

“Tina…” Cynthia was very touched to see how Tina helped her out in the situation. Especially when she heard that she was going to give her a dress, she was even more moved.

“I don’t need President Reed to give it to me because I can afford it.” Rebecca took out a diamond card and waved it in front of them.

Tina recognized that it was a diamond card from the local bank, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes before she sunk into contemplation. Although the diamond card was not a rare card, it was not something ordinary people could own. The average person who owned it should have a net worth of hundreds of millions.

This Rebecca was just the head of Paradigm Co.’s finance department, but she actually had a diamond card. What could be her true identity? However, no matter what her status was, she only had a diamond card anyway-surely, her status was not very high.

Thinking about this, Tina didn’t care anymore, then she turned her gaze back to Sonia. “Miss Reed, are you really not going to give the dress to me?”

Sonia looked at her coldly. “There are so many dresses here, but you just had to get the one that I’m holding in my hands. Anyone with eyes can tell that you are trying to snatch it away from me. How audacious.”

When Tina caught the sarcasm in Sonia’s words, her face sank, but she soon laughed again. “Since you said I was snatching it from you, then so be it. That said, I really like that dress, so please let it go.”

“And what if I don’t?” Sonia looked at her.

Rebecca also said, “Yeah. Even if we don’t give it to you, are you going to kill us over a dress?”

“Of course not, but I won’t let you off that easily as well,” Tina replied. She basically implied that she would get this dress no matter what.

Sonia saw the determination in Tina’s eyes and understood that the latter was determined to go against her to prevent her from getting the dress. After squinting her eyes slightly, Sonia curled up her lips and said, “Okay. If you want it that badly, then I will give it to you.”

“President Reed?” Rebecca looked at Sonia with disbelief.

On the other hand, Tina and Cynthia laughed.

“Thank you, Miss Reed.” Tina also looked at Sonia.

Sonia smiled. “You are welcome. I took a closer look at the dress, and although it looks really good, I doubt it will look good on me-its cutting will show whoever wears it to have short legs and large hips, so it is not suitable for me, but I think it is more suitable for you, Miss Gray.”

When Rebecca heard this, her eyes lit up as she clapped her hands and said, “Oh, yes. Miss Gray, please take the dress. You are the best fit!” After speaking, she took the dress calmly from Sonia and threw it directly on Tina.

Tina caught the dress, but the expression on her face wasn’t one of ecstatic. Right now, she could neither throw it away nor buy it; she could only hold the dress tightly in her hands while watching Sonia and Rebecca head to another row of dress racks.

“Tina, do you still want this dress?” Cynthia asked cautiously.

Tina bit her lip. “Of course! I finally snatched it from her-if I don’t want it now, wouldn’t I just be slapping myself in the face?”

Although she had indeed snatched the dress, she didn’t embarrass Sonia but had instead embarrassed herself. Right now, she no longer liked the dress in her hand despite her earlier fancy for it, so she definitely wouldn’t even wear it. If she wore it, wouldn’t she become the person with short legs and big hips, like what Sonia said?

Taking a deep breath, Tina threw the dress to Cynthia to let her hold it, and then went to choose another dress again. While she was choosing, she was paying attention to Sonia’s side, all while her heart was brooding. Since she caused me to not be able to wear the dress that I liked, then she’d better not even dream about choosing the right one for herself, Tina thought to herself.

“President Reed, how about this one?” Rebecca chose another one and showed it to Sonia.

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 187

Before Sonia could accept the dress from Rebecca, Tina walked over and stretched out her hand to snatch it away. “I want this too.”

Sonia’s red lips pressed tightly.

Rebecca was even more furious now. She stared at Tina with her arms akimbo. “Are you deliberately trying to mess with us? You already took President Reed’s dress away just now, and now you want to do it again?”

Tina put the dress over her arm. “Yes, I am doing it purposely. Since you said that the previous dress was defective, go ahead and comment about this one. I doubt that every one of them here has defects.”

“How dare you—”

“Enough. Rebecca, just ignore her.” Sonia stopped Rebecca, who was about to get furious, and gave Tina a cold glance before walking forward.

Rebecca was a little unwilling. “President Reed, are we just going to let her get away with it?”

“Of course not. You’ll know later,” Sonia replied in a low voice, and then picked the most expensive one among the front row of dresses.

Although Rebecca didn’t know what she was going to do, she didn’t ask any more questions.

Sonia stood in front of the mirror with the dress in her hand and placed the dress in front of her body. With that, she whispered, “Five, four, three, two—”

Before she could even count to ‘one, Tina’s voice rang. “I want that too.”

The dress in Sonia’s hand was indeed very beautiful. Although she hadn’t put it on, she could already see how beautiful she would look in it just from seeing how it looked in the mirror.

She knew the reason why Sonia was here-it was to choose a dress to attend the charity auction in a few days. She was determined to not let Sonia wear this dress and attract all of Toby’s attention.

“Well, if you really want it, then I’ll gladly give it to you.” Seeing Tina coming over, Sonia smiled and passed the dress over, whereupon Tina reached out and grabbed it.

In the next second, Sonia turned around, went to the next shelf, and continued to choose the most expensive dress.

Shortly after, Tina snatched that dress away again.

Sonia pretended to be angry and stared at her for a while, as if she wanted to get angry, but finally held back and went to the other shelves.

Seeing how angry Sonia was to her, Tina’s frustration just now was finally washed away and replaced with boastful pride.

Hmph! Continue choosing, then. No matter what you choose, I will snatch them all! she thought to herself.

Next, several more dresses were snatched by Tina. Rebecca was so angry that she could no longer bear it. However, as she looked over at Sonia and suddenly saw the arc on her lips, she instantly understood what was going on.

“President Reed, did you purposely pick the most expensive ones and let Tina snatch them?” Rebecca leaned into Sonia’s ear and whispered.

Sonia nodded, “Yes. Since she doesn’t want me to buy a dress for myself, she’ll be willing to grab whichever I like. If that’s the case, then why don’t I just choose the most expensive ones and let her purse bleed for once?”

“Genius! Genius move!” Rebecca gave Sonia a thumbs up.

Sonia smiled. “What’s more, the reason why Tina is here choosing a dress at this time must be to participate in the charity auction. Remember the cause of the charity auction that I told you about? It’s to protect wild animals.”.

“That’s right.” Rebecca nodded.

Sonia squinted. “Then what do you think will happen if one were to wear accessories that were made out of wild animal fur at such a charity auction?”

Rebecca smiled. “I understand what you want to do now. Leave it all to me.”

She patted her chest, then put away the smile on her face and said angrily, “President Reed, she has grabbed so many dresses from you. How can you just tolerate her? Those dresses are so beautiful! It will be splendid should you accessorize it with a fur cape and a crocodile handbag, but she took them all!”

“Forget it. Let’s just choose another one. We can add accessories to the others too.” Sonia patted the back of Rebecca’s hand, motioning her to calm down.

Not far away, Tina heard the conversation between the two, whereupon her eyelids drooped in thought.

Pair it with a fur cape and a crocodile handbag?

Immediately, she turned to look at Cynthia behind her, who was holding a few dresses for her, then she took a dress from her arms to take a look. In fact, she thought that they would indeed look really good together.

These dresses were very exquisite. If she were to add a fur cape onto it, she would add an elegant feminine charm onto the outfit.

Rebecca, who was quietly watching Tina’s actions, saw the movement on Tina’s face and laughed. “Alas, she has taken the bait.”

“Since she is hooked, then we can stop. Hi, retail assistant!” Sonia raised her hand and called out.

The assistant walked over hurriedly. “Hello, miss.”

“Wrap these up for me please.” Sonia pointed to the row of dresses on her right.

The retail assistant was stunned, and it took a while before she came to her senses. “W-Wrap them all up?”

“That’s right. That lady will pay the bill. She wants to buy them all!” Sonia signaled at Tina, who was not far away.

As soon as Tina heard what Sonia said, she looked over at the row of at least a dozen dresses, and her face changed at the sight. “Sonia Reed, when did I say that I wanted to buy them all?”

“Well, you didn’t necessarily say it, but these were what President Reed liked. Didn’t you say you’d like to snatch whatever she fancied? If that’s the case, then these are yours-so you can go ahead and checkout.” Rebecca held Sonia’s arm as she smiled sarca:

Sonia also had a grin hanging on her face.

Only then did Tina realize what went wrong, and she began to tremble angrily. “Are you kidding me? Did you do this on purpose to fool me into buying all these?”

“When did we ever fool you? You were the one that jumped into our trap. If you hadn’t tried to snatch them all, we wouldn’t have let you buy them, but since you want to snatch them away so badly, then by all means, go ahead and buy them all,” Rebecca spread her hands and said. “So, Miss Money Bags, please go ahead and checkout. Don’t you even dare say that you don’t want

them anymore; otherwise, we will look down on you, and as the future wife of the Fuller Group, you probably won’t care about such small amounts of money anyway, right?”

Small amounts? Are these small amounts of money?

Tina’s body was trembling severely.

The nearly 20 sets of high-quality custom-made dresses could total up to a few hundred million!

If she dared to spend this much money to buy dresses, her father would be furious.

“Now, now, Rebecca. Miss Gray will definitely buy them, or else it would be like a slap on her face. Am I right, Miss Gray?” Sonia looked over at Tina with a smile.

Seeing that, Tina was so close to clawing at her face right then and there.

“Yes. Of course I will buy them!” Tina clenched her fists tightly and said with a forced smile.

When she snatched the dress from Sonia just now, all the retail assistants in the store saw it.

If she didn’t buy it, and should the other ladies from her social circle come here to pick out dresses, these retail assistants would definitely tell them what they saw. Should that happen, she would be completely and utterly embarrassed.

Therefore, she had to buy the dresses even if she didn’t want to.

Thinking about it, Tina took a deep breath trying to suppress the anger in her heart as she looked at Sonia. “I’ll remember this.”

Sonia smiled. “Rebecca, let’s go.”

“Sure!” Rebecca responded.

After the two left, Tina looked at the bunch of dresses and wanted to throw them all on the ground, but she couldn’t bring herself to–they were worth a few hundred million, after all.

“Check out, please!” Tina took out the black card that Toby gave her and gritted her teeth while handing it to the retail assistant.

The retail assistant took it with a set of bright eyes. Resisting the ecstasy and excitement in her heart, she grabbed the pile of dresses and went to pack them all up.

Jackpot! the sales assistant thought. This young lady sure was a good person, seeing how she helped her earn so much commission, and now, she would have enough money to buy a house.

After getting off work, she would definitely go to the church to pray for the young lady.

Looking at the seething Tina, Cynthia asked in concern, “Tina, are you okay?”

Tina barely twitched the corners of her lips. “I’m fine.”

How could she be okay? She was furious to death.

How could Cynthia not remind me about this? She caused me to be trapped by Sonia.

Soon, the retail assistant finished swiping the card and returned the black card to Tina.

After Tina left her address and asked the retail assistant to send the dresses to the Gray Residence, she left angrily.

Meanwhile, at the Fuller Group, Toby was working on the documents when suddenly, his cell phone next to him buzzed.

He took a look and saw that it was a card deduction message.

After clicking on it, he frowned when he saw that the secondary card that he had given Tina had been charged a few hundred million.

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 188

Toby was more worried by the thought of Tina getting scammed than feeling distressed about the money.

“Tom,” he called his assistant into the office.

After making his way in, Tom stood still in front of Toby’s desk and asked, “President Fuller, how may I assist you?”

“Check where Tina has been today and her purchases,” Toby instructed as he massaged his temples.

“Yes, sir,” Tom replied before making his way out of the office. Very quickly, he returned with the results of his investigation. “Sir, Miss Gray has gone to the mall and bought more than twenty dresses.”

“What? More than twenty dresses?” The corners of Toby’s eyes twitched. He knew that she had gone shopping for dresses today, but why did she have to buy so many?

Adjusting his glasses, Tom replied, “Yes. More than twenty dresses.” In truth, he was also shocked to hear this when his subordinates reported it to him.

Toby bit his lip before asking, “Did you look into the reason why she bought so many?”

Lowering his head, Tom answered, “Miss Reed tricked her.”

Upon hearing this, Toby squinted. “Tricked by Sonia? What’s going on?”

“According to what I’ve found, Miss Reed was with Miss Gray when she was shopping for dresses. Every time Miss Reed chose a dress, Miss Gray would snatch it from her. What Miss Gray didn’t know was that Miss Reed had let her do so on purpose, so that was how the dresses came about,”

Tom explained.

This time, Tina had thoroughly embarrassed herself. Failing to give Sonia a hard time, she got tricked instead. That was why Tina should not have messed around if she was not smart enough. However, Tom did not dare to say this out loud and could only complain to himself.

Right then, Toby had a nasty look plastered on his face, and his body gave out a cold and brooding aura. He was unsure if it was Tina or her second personality that snatched those dresses. Nevertheless, it did not matter who it was because such behavior was tacky and foolish. Moreover, it showed how narrow-minded she was.

“So, did Sonia manage to buy any dresses?” he questioned lightly.

Shaking his head, Tom said, “No. She left Wanika, but I don’t know if she would go to another boutique.”

After acknowledging what Tom had said, Toby instructed, “Ask the manager of the mall to take note of this. Tell him not to charge Sonia and send the bill directly to me if she visits another boutique to pick out dresses.”

“Yes, sir.” Tom nodded. Then, he turned around and went to do as instructed.

Just then, Toby stopped him. “Hold on.”

“Do you have any other orders, sir?” Tom turned to ask.

As Toby rubbed between his eyebrows, he stressed, “Don’t let Sonia know that I’m paying for her.”

“Understood.” Tom nodded.

At the mall, after Sonia and Rebecca left Wanika, they still could not find a suitable dress even after visiting several boutiques. At that moment, both of them stood at the entrance of the last boutique left in the mall.

As Rebecca bent forward to massage her calves, she asked, “What should we do if we still can’t find a nice dress from this boutique?”

To be honest, Sonia was also feeling a little tired already. She took a deep breath and responded, “Don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll be able to find one. Worse comes to worst, we’ll just have to make do.”

“I guess that’s all we can do.” Rebecca nodded her head in agreement before heading into the boutique with Sonia.

Though this boutique was not as popular as Wanika, it was the oldest haute couture brand. The dresses there were mostly vintage-styled. Because of that, the boutique was less popular among the younger generation as not many of them could relate to its retro feel.

However, Sonia felt that the dress fit her very well even after only trying it once. In that instance, Rebecca’s eyes brightened. “This one looks good!”

Looking at herself in the mirror, Sonia nodded with satisfaction. “Indeed.”

The shop assistant also nodded in approval. “Miss, would you be fine if I took a few photos of you? No one would buy this dress since it arrived at our boutique because nobody was able to bring out its feel except for you, so I would like to take a few photos and send it to the designer.”

Seeing the excited look on the shop assistant’s face, Sonia could not bring herself to refuse. So, she smiled and agreed, “Sure.”

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant was ecstatic. “Thank you!”

“You’re most welcome. Do I have to pose?” Sonia inquired.

The shop assistant concurred. Lifting the dress a little, Sonia put on a nice pose. “Let’s start shooting.”

Quickly, the shop assistant fished out her phone and took a few photos of Sonia. Then, Rebecca leaned over to take a look. “You look so beautiful! President Reed, you should see this.”

“Alright.” Sonia made her way over. As she looked at the photo on the phone, she smiled. “You’re right. Send them to me as well, will you?”

“Of course,” the shop assistant answered.

With that, Sonia unlocked her phone and handed it to the shop assistant. Right away, the shop assistant sent the photos to Sonia. After saving the photos, Sonia kept her phone before saying, “Wrap this up for me. I’ll take this dress.”

“Yes, miss,” the shop assistant grinned as she responded.

Right after, Sonia went back into the changing room to take the dress off. Then, the shop assistant took the dress and headed to the counter to pack it.

Later on, Sonia and Rebecca headed toward the counter. As soon as the dress was packed, Sonia handed the shop assistant her credit card. However, the shop assistant returned the card to Sonia. “Miss, we’re giving you the dress for free.”

“What? You’re giving it to us for free?” Rebecca exclaimed.

At that moment, Sonia was also surprised. “Why?”

“I sent the photos of you in the dress to the designer, and he said that only you could bring out the impression of the dress that he had intended. Hence, he decided to gift it to you,” the shop assistant explained.

Right then, Rebecca’s eyes filled with admiration, “How nice! You just got a dress for free!”

“I know, right? I guess I’m pretty lucky. Well then, thank you very much.” The corners of Sonia’s mouth lifted. Without thinking much, she reached out to take the dress.

To be honest, it was not unheard of for things like this to happen. There were indeed many designers who were delighted to gift their designs to customers simply because they looked good in them. However, she did not expect that such a thing would happen to her.

“You’re most welcome, miss. Please come again.” The shop assistant escorted Sonia and Rebecca to the entrance of the boutique.

As soon as the two ladies were a distance away, the shop assistant turned to walk back into the boutique. Just then, a middle-aged man came out of the lounge. “You didn’t let them know,

right?”

Handing over the phone, she reassured him, “No, sir.”

“Very well. I’ll transfer the bonus to your account later,” the man said as he took the phone.

Overjoyed, she bowed and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, sir!”

“You may go.” He waved.

You ma Happily, she walked away. After that, he unlocked the phone to find Sonia’s photos and sent them directly to Tom.

Almost immediately, Tom knocked on Toby’s office door. “President Fuller, the matter regarding Miss Reed’s dress has been taken care of. She didn’t suspect a thing.”

With his chin lifted, Toby acknowledged, “Okay.”

As Tom handed over his phone to Toby, he noted, “And here are Miss Reed’s photos.”

“Photos?” Toby put down his pen instantaneously and took over the phone. On the screen, the photos showed Sonia wearing a vintage halter dress with a gentle smile on her face. Standing under the lights, it was as if she was glowing. Anyone who saw this would not be able to take their eyes off her.

Toby’s heart raced as he saw how beautiful she was for the first time. He couldn’t help but stroke her cheek on the screen. Then, his eyes darkened. “Who took these?”

“The shop assistant did,” Tom stated.

“I don’t remember asking for photos, did I?” Toby bit his lip.

“Yes, the manager had decided to do so without consulting with us beforehand because he thought that you and Miss Reed had a special relationship since you wanted him to put the purchase of the dress under your name. I’ll delete the photos if you don’t like them,” Tom clarified.

With his brows furrowed, Toby declined, “It’s alright. Send them to me, and I’ll delete them myself!”

As soon as Tom heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to roll his eyes so badly at that moment. Delete them himself?

Tom reckoned Toby must have wanted to keep it secretly instead.

Though Tom thought so, he did not dare to speak his mind. Clearing his throat, he replied, “Sure. I’ll send them to you right now.”

With that, Toby handed Tom his phone. After receiving the phone, Tom sent the photos to Toby’s phone right away. Toby’s eyes relaxed as soon as the message tone on his phone sounded. “Alright, you may go now.”

“Yes, sir.” With that, Tom left, leaving Toby all alone in the office.

Toby picked up his phone and opened his Messenger to see the photos that Tom had sent him. There were two photos, one of which he had not seen. So, he opened the photo.

In the photo, Sonia’s pose had changed though the background stayed the same. One of her hands held onto the skirts of her dress, while her other hand was raised in the air as if she would fly away any moment.

There was no doubt that she looked beautiful, but he did not like it. Hence, he tapped and held his finger there to delete the photo. His finger hovered over the delete button, yet he could not bring himself to press it. In the end, he gave up.

At this moment, Tina called out anxiously from outside the office, “Toby!”

Immediately, he furrowed his brows and exited his Messenger before putting his phone back to its original place. “Come in.”

Meanwhile, Sonia and Rebecca had just walked out of a shoe store after buying shoes.

“President Reed, let’s go have something to eat. I’m feeling a little hungry.” Rebecca rubbed her belly.

Looking at the time, Sonia saw that it was nearly one in the afternoon. In truth, she was also feeling a bit hungry now. “Sure, let’s go to the fifth floor. There are many restaurants there. Come, I’ll treat you to lunch as thanks for coming with me today.” She smiled as she lowered her wrist.

As Rebecca nodded, she replied, “Thank you, then.”

“Don’t mention it. Let’s go!” Sonia took Rebecca’s arm.

After a few steps, Rebecca halted and pointed at a shop across. “Isn’t that Tina’s mom?”

Hearing that, Sonia looked in that direction. It was indeed Julia. The woman must have just finished her facial appointment because her face was glowing. She did not look like a woman in her fifties at all.

“What an unlucky day to go shopping. We bumped into Tina just earlier. And now, Mrs. Gray’s here too. It’s such a small world,” Rebecca sighed.

With a smile, Sonia said, “It’s alright. We all live in Seafield after all, so it’s pretty normal to bump into each other.”

Perhaps they were being too obvious as Julia looked in their direction after sensing that someone was watching her. As soon as she saw Sonia, she frowned unhappily.

At that, Sonia was amused at her reaction. Then, Julia turned away coldly and headed toward another store without giving Sonia and Rebecca any response. Upon seeing this, Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Look, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It’s no wonder Tina’s like that. She must have learned it from her mom.”

“There’s no need to bother about things like this. Didn’t you say that you were hungry? Let’s go already,” Sonia said while gazing at Rebecca.

Rebecca conceded and walked toward the escalator with Sonia. However, never had they thought that they would bump into Julia again after lunch. Fortunately for them, Julia did not notice them this time. She left straight after coming out of Delancey & Tatienne Jewelry. As she was leaving, an unpleasant expression was plastered on her face as if she was very disappointed.

Seeing this, Sonia could not help but recall the time when Julia brought R Delancey & Tatienne Jewelry. It was then that the shopkeepers told Julia about Rina’s necklace. Because of this, Julia started to suspect that Rina was still alive and began to look for her.

Did Julia come out of the shop with a disappointed look on her face because of Rina? As Sonia thought, she narrowed her eyes and asked, “Rebecca, help me with something, will you?”

“What?” Rebecca looked at Sonia while sipping her milkshake.

Softly, Sonia told Rebecca, “Go to Delancey & Tatienne’s, and ask why Mrs. Gray went there.”

“Why do you need to know?” Rebecca stared at Sonia curiously.

Sonia’s eyes flickered. “For something very important. Help me, please?”

“Okay, okay. Hold this for me. I’ll go ask.” Rebecca passed her milkshake to Sonia. After passing it to Sonia, she went to Delancey & Tatienne Jewelry, then came back out a few minutes later.

“So, did you manage to ask them?” Sonia handed Rebecca her milkshake.

“I did.” Rebecca took the milkshake and nodded. “The shopkeepers said that Mrs. Gray asked them if they saw a woman coming in with a necklace recently.”

“Just as I thought.” Sonia bit her lip. It seemed that Julia was still searching for Rina, so she came to the shop to try her luck.

“What are you up to, President Reed?” Rebecca was genuinely curious.

However, Sonia just smiled. “Oh, nothing. Mrs. Gray’s just looking for her eldest daughter.”

“Eldest daughter?” Rebecca exclaimed. “You mean she has another daughter?”

“Yup, her eldest daughter is Rina Gray. Tina’s the younger sister,” Sonia nodded and explained.

“Ah, I see… But why do you care?” Rebecca asked suddenly.

“Because her eldest daughter has some unfinished business with the Reeds.” Sonia furrowed her brows. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go home.”

Rebecca nodded.

It was already four in the afternoon by the time they returned to Bayside Residence. Quickly, Sonia put the things that she had bought earlier on the couch. Then, she brought her phone into the room to call Zane. At that moment, Zane was both happy and surprised that she called him. After all, she seldom contacted him.

“Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Did you miss me?” he answered casually.

Knowing how the man loved to flirt, she did not get angry listening to him say that. Instead, she laughed. “Alright, get yourself together. I have something serious to ask you.”

“You could’ve just said that you missed me even if it’s regarding a serious matter.” He sighed.

Upon hearing this, she was dumbfounded. “Fine. I’ve missed you, alright?”

Though he knew that it was not true and that she was just trying to brush him off and make him happy, he was delighted nevertheless. “Hmm… I guess so.” He pretended to make do.

Hearing that, she smiled faintly.

“So tell me. Why are you looking for me?” he coughed.

“I saw Mrs. Gray today, and it seemed that she was asking about Rina’s whereabouts. So, I wanted to ask you about the progress of the investigation regarding Rina’s case.” She sat at the edge of the bed and explained to him seriously.

The corners of his mouth lifted. “How timely. I just found something.”

“Oh?” She sat up. “What is it?”

“Firstly, Rina really isn’t dead and is still well alive. To confirm this, I went through the old case file and found the officer who was in charge of this case at that time. He told me that your dad had thrown a doll into the river. Not Rina,” Zane reported.

Hearing this, she narrowed her eyes. “My guess was right. Before this, I had guessed that my dad threw something else into the river.”

“That’s correct.” Zane nodded.

Clenching onto her phone, she questioned, “What about Rina? Where’s she now?”

“This, I don’t know. Your dad may not have thrown her into the river, but he did kidnap her. No one else except your dad knows about her whereabouts–not even the officer,” Zane replied helplessly.

With a frown, she complained, “How could this be? We lost the trail again.”

“Yeah, looking for her is not easy.” He pulled at his hair in frustration.

Biting her lip, she responded, “Wait, you said ‘firstly’ earlier. Does that mean you found something else?”

Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 190

“That’s right. I found out that Tina is also looking for Rina,” Zane told Sonia.

Raising her brow, she questioned, “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that normal? Rina’s her sister after all, so her looking for Rina isn’t unusual at all.”

“No, no, no.” He waved his finger. “She’s not looking for Rina because she cares for her sister; she wants to make sure that Rina leaves and never returns to Seafield or appears before the Grays ever again.”

Filled with curiosity, she widened her eyes. “Why?”

Zane curled his lips. “She’s probably jealous. Why else? She’ll be the heir of the Grays and Triforce Enterprise if she becomes the only child. However, if Rina comes back, she won’t have that kind of power anymore.”

“I see… So, Rina is a threat to her.” She lifted her chin at the sudden realization.

In response, he snapped his fingers. “Bingo! That’s it. Besides, Titus Gray just disbanded an elite team. Guess what’s the team in charge of?”

“What?” She tilted her head.

Zane explained, “The elite team was specially prepared for Tina. Mr. Gray intends to hold another engagement banquet for her and Toby next year. Then, she’ll finally be able to join the Triforce Enterprise with the elite team being her subordinates. Yet, it’s been disbanded. Can you guess why?”

As soon as she heard this, her eyes flickered. “Mr. Gray doesn’t want Tina to take over Triforce anymore.”

“Yes, that’s the only plausible explanation to why he disbanded the elite team. I’m guessing that Tina is anxious to find Rina and get rid of her after finding out that Mr. Gray actually wants to groom Rina to be the heir instead,” Zane said as he stroked his chin.

With a sarcastic smile, she noted, “I believe that Tina would do the same even if it had nothing to do with inheriting the Grays and Triforce Enterprise. Think about it. Rina was separated from her parents at a young age, so they would definitely give her extra care to make it up to her if she’s found to the point that they might overlook Tina. How do you think Tina would feel?”

“That’s true.” He nodded in agreement. Then, there was a gleam in his eyes. “Sonia, I just thought of a good idea.”

This sparked her interest. “What good idea?”

“It’s hard to explain over the phone, so let’s meet and talk.” He coughed.

Looking at her wristwatch, she realized that it was almost six in the evening. She wanted to turn him down as the sky was almost dark.

On the other end of the phone, it seemed that Zane had guessed what she would say, so he spoke ahead of her. “I won’t be free tomorrow as I’ll be going abroad, so I can only discuss it with you today. Besides, what I’d like to discuss with you is something best not to be delayed. Otherwise, it would be meaningless.”

Upon hearing this, she bit her lip before finally agreeing to meet. “Alright. Where should we meet?”

As soon as she agreed, he squeezed his fists excitedly while trying to remain calm as he spoke, “How about First World Amusement Park?” Going on a date there seems to be a good idea since girls like going to places like that, he thought.

“The amusement park?” Her mouth twitched. “Can’t we just look for a simple café instead? Why do we have to meet in a place like that?”

Guilty, he looked away. “My cousins went on a business trip, so they asked me to take care of their son. He’s been pestering me to take him to the amusement park, so… Help me out, please?”

Listening to him pleading pitifully, she rubbed between her brows and said, “Fine. Let’s meet there then.”

At once, a victorious smile appeared on his face. “Okay, I’ll pick you up.”

“It’s alright. It’ll be quicker if I drive there myself. Let’s meet at the entrance of the amusement park.” She smiled. After agreeing to what he said, she ended the call.

Right after, Zane put down the phone and ran down the stairs to the living room to carry his nephew who was playing puzzle on the couch, then kissed him. “Come on, Douglas. Uncle Zane’s bringing you to the amusement park!”

With a disdained look, Douglas complained, “I don’t wanna go! What’s so fun about amusement parks? I’d rather stay home and play puzzles.”

At that moment, Zane hated Douglas as much as he was pleased with the little boy’s peace of mind. Forcefully, he carried the boy out the door. “No, you have to go. Sacrifice yourself for the sake of your uncle’s happiness.”

“Noo!” he wailed.

Meanwhile, Sonia did not know that Zane had an ulterior motive for asking her to meet. After hanging up the phone, she drove to the amusement park straight away. By the time she reached, it was almost eight at night.

After parking her car, she heard somebody knock on her window as she was unfastening her safety belt. As she wound down the window, a cute little face appeared in front of her. With a sweet voice, the child greeted her, “Hi, Auntie!”

Stunned, she caressed his cheek and smiled. “Hey, kiddo. You must have mistaken me for someone else. I’m not your aunt.”

“No, I didn’t. You’re my aunt!” The little boy held her hand.

Sonia blinked but did not pull her hand away. The main reason was that the little boy looked very cute. She liked how chubby and fair his skin was. Besides, his hand was soft like a piece of sponge. It was so comfortable that she was reluctant to let go.

I didn’t know little humans could be this cute. Will the child in my belly be as cute as this little guy here? she wondered while rubbing her belly. Quickly, she removed her hand from her belly. The worried look in her eyes started to fade away. No. I have to stop thinking about this. Otherwise, she might change her mind about the abortion.

She closed her eyes to take a deep breath before looking back at the little boy. “Hey, kiddo. Where’s your guardian?”

All of a sudden, a tall figure appeared behind the little boy. “Right here.” He knelt and gave her a bright smile.

At that moment, Sonia was slightly surprised. “Zane?”

“Uncle Zane!” The little boy let go of her hand and lifted his head to Zane who was just behind.

As soon as she heard this, she understood immediately. “Oh, he’s your nephew.”

“Yup! Adorable, right?” He carried his nephew up. “He’s Douglas.”

She nodded. “He’s adorable.”

Hugging Zane’s neck, Douglas complimented, “You’re really pretty too, Aunt Sonia.”

She squinted at Zane. “Did you tell him to call me that?”

“No, he decided to do so himself because he thought that you were my girlfriend since I asked you out. I tried correcting him, but he’s so stubborn. There’s nothing I can do, so I hope you don’t mind,” he explained embarrassingly.

Hearing this, Douglas laughed on the inside. Liar. It was Uncle Zane who asked me to call you that. Douglas would not have taken the fall for this if it was not for the limited edition Transformers action figure.

Shaking her head, she replied, “It’s fine.” Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. She smiled gently at Douglas, “I’m not your uncle’s girlfriend, so you can’t call me Aunt Sonia, okay? You should call me Miss Reed.”

“No, I want to call you Aunt Sonia! I want a hug!” Douglas let go of Zane’s neck immediately and stretched out his arms for a hug.

Dumbfounded, she grabbed the little boy by his armpits and carried him. Whatever. Call me Aunt Sonia then. After all, she had nothing to lose being addressed that way.

“Sonia, I think you’d better put him down. You’re pregnant,” he advised while glancing at her belly.

With a kiss on Douglas’ cheek, she reassured Zane, “It’s okay, he’s not heavy at all. I like him.”

As Toby watched from afar, he bit his lip.
