Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 66

Sonia had never expected things to go so smoothly with the government. It only took an hour for a contract to be signed. As thanks to her for a few years of free land use rights, they promised to help her build her factory and have a machinery plant set up for

her.

By the time she exited the department,

the sky was already dark. As if on cue,

her stomach grumbled loudly. Hearing

it, Charles threw an arm around her

shoulders. “How about we have steak

for dinner, baby?”

“Sure.” She nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go!” Still with his arm around her,

he lengthened his stride in the

direction of their car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at one of Seafield’s most famous restaurants. The moment they walked inside, Sonia heard a familiar voice behind her.

“Miss Reed, Mr. Lane, we meet again.”

Instantly, Sonia’s smile faded. Much less politely, Charles rolled his eyes. “Why is it you both again?”

It was none other than Tina and Toby.

With a gentle smile, Tina asked, “You don’t wish to see us, Mr. Lane?”

* “You don’t need to ask to know that,”

he retorted, spreading his arms.

Nonetheless, her smile stayed on her

face. She didn’t seem angry. On the other hand, Toby was silent. His gaze was fixed on the bandage on Sonia’s head with an unreadable look in his

eyes.

Feeling his stare, Sonia gave him a curious glance and quirked her lips. “Aren’t you afraid your fiancee will get

jealous of you staring at me like that,

President Fuller?”

At her question, the smile on Tina’s face finally slipped. While Tina knew Sonia was purposely trying to provoke her and Toby, she had no way of

denying that Sonia was telling the truth and that Toby had, indeed, been staring

at her. Even though jealousy flashed

across Tina’s eyes and brewed even more potently in her heart, she made an effort to bring a smile back to her

face.

“What are you saying, Miss Reed? How could I possibly be jealous? You’re standing in front of me and Toby, so it’s

not so strange that Toby is looking at

you. Not to mention, he’s seen plenty of

female employees at Fuller Group every day. If I got jealous of every one of them, I’d be very busy. Wouldn’t you say, Toby?” She wrapped her hands around Toby’s arm.

Feeling the force of her grip, Toby frowned slightly but didn’t pull his arm

away.

“That’s very magnanimous of you, Miss Gray.” Sonia pretended not to see Tina’s forced smile.

After yawning, Charles said, “Baby, why

are you still talking to them? I thought you were hungry. Let’s go get ourselves

a table.”

“Of course.” She nodded.

With that, Charles put his arms around

her waist and followed the waiter.

As Toby watched them walk away

intimately, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips into a straight line. All of a sudden, he had an urge to rush up and separate them. Nonetheless, he held back. Keeping his head lowered to hide the expression in his eyes, he said

to Tina, “Let’s go.”

“Alright,” she answered cheerfully.

On the way to their private room, Charles couldn’t resist grumbling, “Do you think Tina gets tired of faking a smile when she’s clearly jealous of you but pretending she isn’t?”

“Do you get tired of eating and sleeping?” Sonia asked without

answering

Perplexed, he shook his head. With a smile, she pointed out, “Well, there you

have it. Some people consider

pretending as a vital part of their

survival– just like eating or sleeping.

So, why would she feel tired?”

“That’s true.” He curled his lips. After a moment of thought, he grinned playfully. “Baby, what’d you say if we tore away her fake mask; wouldn’t

she–”

“That’s enough.” She gave him an

elbow. “She hasn’t done anything to us

at the moment, so we’re not going to

do anything to her.” Of course, if Tina

made the first move, it would be a

different matter altogether.

Just then, they reached their private room. The couple ordered the

restaurant’s famous steaks. Halfway

through the meal, Sonia wiped the corners of her lips and stood up. “I’m

going to the restroom.”

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

he teased playfully, waggling his

eyebrows.

She gave him a faint smile. “What do

you think?”

Seeing the dangerous glint in her smile, he shuddered and chuckled, “Heh, forget it. Come back soon.”

Humming her acknowledgment, she

picked up her purse and left. After using the toilet, she tidied her clothes and headed to the sinks to touch up

her makeup.

All of a sudden, the stall behind her

opened and Tina stepped out. When

she saw Sonia, her first reaction was to

pause. Following that, she walked up to the sinks with a smile and pulled some makeup powder out of her bag

to apply to her cheeks.

“What a coincidence, Miss Reed,” she

greeted as she fixed her makeup.

Currently, Sonia was reapplying her

lipstick and only answered mildly, “It is indeed, to run into each other even in

Toby‘s taste certainly is unique, she thought to herself. I can‘t believe he

could like such a phony

Of course, given that she was once in love with him, her own taste wasn’t

necessarily good. Fortunately, she was

correcting course now.

Twisting the cap back onto her tube of lipstick, she then tossed it back into her purse. “Of course not. I’ve already been handsomely compensated. How

would ljustify continuing to blame

you? However, I am curious why you

asked that question. Are you saying I’m

petty?”

“No, no!” Tina waved her hands. “It’s

just that your attitude is so cold that I

assumed you must still blame me.”

Turning her head, Sonia regarded Tina

with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

“Well, I’ve always treated my friends

and my enemies very differently. If !

liked you, I’d be very warm toward you.

Naturally, if I didn‘t like you, I’d be cold toward you. What I don’t understand is why, Miss Gray, when you already know

that I don’t like you, you keep offering yourself up as a punching bag?”

At the question, Tina heard someone laughing from within one of the stalls, and she reddened with anger and

indignation

the restroom.”

Closing the lid of her powder case, Tina looked up at the bandage on Sonia’s head. “Are your injuries any

better?”

Sonia pursed her lips without even bothering to look at Tina. “Far from it, thanks to you.”

“Do you still blame me?” The rims of Tina’s eyes abruptly grew red.

Nonetheless, Sonia only found that

amusing. After all, she hadn’t done

anything to Tina. Why was Tina crying

like she had been bullied?

Nonetheless, Sonia merely looked away from her. “So, I hope you’ll stay far away from me when you see me in the future, Miss Gray. Stop making things hard for yourself. Haven’t you

realized that you’ve never been able to

beat me whether in speech or in

deeds?” With that, she zipped up her

purse and walked past Tina out of the

restroomContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Left alone in the restroom, Tina bit her

lower lip and glared with a hawk-like gaze in the direction of the door. Internally, she sneered. Yes, right now, she was constantly losing. But the

future was another matter.

“At that thought, she picked up her

purse and exited the bathroom. In the

corridor on the way back to her private room with Toby, an ordinary-looking waiter walked toward her. Right as he reached her, he suddenly pulled out a handkerchief and covered her nose

and her mouth with it.

Shocked, she let out a muffled cry and stared at him with wide, terrified eyes, but passed out before she could

struggle.

Meanwhile, after finishing their meal, Charles and Sonia were preparing to pay the bill and leave. Right as they stood up from their seats, someone

knocked on their door.

When Charles walked over to open the

door, he saw Toby standing outside. At

this moment, Toby looked tense and

was frowning tightly. There was an almost imperceptible urgency in his

eyes.

Since she knew him so well, Sonia instantly started to wonder if

something was wrong.

However, Charles blocked his way and

asked rudely, “Why are you here?”

Ignoring Charles, Toby looked straight toward Sonia. “Is Tina here?”
