Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1472

CHAPTER 1472 THE EMBARRASSED COUPLE

After all, she had fooled around with Toby despite being pregnant. If others were to learn about this, they would definitely think she was eager for sex or something.

In reality, Mary didn't really find out anything, but Sonia's unnatural demeanor gave her away. Putting down the stuff in hand, she looked at Sonia before shifting her gaze toward Toby, who was standing aside with his thin lips curved in a faint smile. She asked in puzzlement, "Young Master Toby, Young Mistress Sonia, what's wrong with you two? I feel there's something strange going on between the two of you." Especially Young Mistress Sonia, who's lowering her head and red in the face. "Young Mistress Sonia, did Young Master Toby bully you or something?" she asked hurriedly.

Sonia looked up and shook her head repeatedly. "No, he didn't bully me."

"Why is your face so red, then?" Mary was baffled.

Sonia opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't explain it.

In the end, Toby wrapped his arm around her shoulders and let out a cough, saying, "Yeah, I did bully her." Well, I did bully her in a particular way, but not in the literal sense of the word.

Mary didn't understand what he meant, though. Thinking that he had literally bullied Sonia, she shot him a glare of displeasure. "Young Master Toby, how could you do that? How could you bully Young Mistress Sonia while she's pregnant? You—"

"Take it easy, Madam Mary. I'm fine now," Sonia explained while shaking her head repeatedly to calm Mary down.

Mary frowned at Toby. "Young Mistress Sonia, you don't have to speak for him. Just tell me how he bullied you, and I'll help you teach him a lesson. If I can't do that, I'll tell Old Mrs. Fuller about it and let her do that instead."

"Uh…" Sonia's lips twitched. She's putting me in a tight spot, no? How can I bring myself to explain how Toby bullied me? She managed a forced smile, saying, "Madam Mary, it's okay, really, so please stop asking about it. We're alright now. If I did get bullied severely, I'd definitely ask you and Grandma to stick up for me, but I'm really okay."

"Are you sure?" Mary was still worried, though.

Sonia nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure."

"Alright then." Mary believed her at last, but she didn't forget to give Toby a warning look. "Young Master Toby, Young Mistress Sonia has spoken for you this time, but you should behave yourself, too. If you really end up bullying her severely, you're gonna regret it."

"Okay." Toby nodded in all seriousness.

Mary let out a snort before turning back into the kitchen, which was her base camp.

After she left, Sonia heaved a faint sigh of relief. Then, she groped for and pinched Toby's waist right away.

Toby let out a grunt of pain before grabbing her hand at once. "What was that for?"

"Quit playing dumb!" Sonia gave him a dirty look inwardly. "Madam Mary only got to the bottom of it because of what you said. You rendered me at a loss for what to say, you know?"

Toby chuckled under his breath. "Actually, it's okay if we tell her about it. It's something between us, so Mary won't laugh at us for that."

"Yeah, she won't, but she'll surely criticize us for doing so while I'm pregnant," Sonia replied with a snort.

Toby stroked her hair. "No, she won't. She won't find out about it."

"You best hope so." Sonia took his hand away from her before letting out a yawn. "I wanna take a nap." It was common for pregnant women to sleep a lot, and besides, she was exhausted after having made out with him for two hours previously.

Hearing her say that, Toby instantly picked her up and placed her on her sickbed. Then, he tucked her in and kissed her on the forehead, saying, "Just go to sleep. I'll watch over you."

"Uh-huh." Sonia gave him a smile and fell asleep.

Sitting next to her sickbed, Toby held her hand while opening a file to continue dealing with work- related documents. He turned the pages quietly and signed his name very slowly, making as little noise as possible to avoid disturbing her. Even if he knew that she would go into a deep sleep and usually wouldn't be awakened easily after falling asleep, he wouldn't do anything presumptuous.

With Toby's company, Mary's care, Tyler's teasing, and Zane, Charles, and Grace's occasional visits,

life was happy and satisfying for Sonia over the next few days. Moreover, Julia and Titus would also keep in touch with her during this period.

However, whenever she got in touch with Titus and Julia, she couldn't help feeling that something was wrong. It was as if something were missing, but she couldn't recall what it was despite racking her brains. Luckily, she wasn't the kind of person who would push herself too hard. Since she couldn't wrap her head around it, she simply didn't think about it and continued to live her life as usual.

Today, Julia made a video call to Sonia again. She was lying face down on her sickbed, having just regained consciousness after undergoing surgery yesterday. As soon as she came around, she called Sonia to tell her that her surgery was a success. After all, Sonia was her only daughter. She just wanted to share the good news with her; moreover, she didn't want Sonia to worry about her. Even though Sonia didn't say it out loud, she could tell that Sonia would get worried if she didn't tell her about the surgery.

Just as she had expected, the furrows in Sonia's brow relaxed visibly after she told her that her surgery was a success. I just knew that my guess was right—Sonny really cares about us, she thought.

"Congratulations." Sonia bit her lower lip before congratulating Julia on the other end of the video chat.

Julia replied with a smile, "I'll be able to come and see you after some time."

Sonia didn't agree to let her come, but she didn't say no either.

Julia was satisfied enough with this.

The mother and daughter then chatted about other things before ending the video chat.

The moment the video chat ended, Sonia saw the nurse's aide dressed in pink scrubs. Only then did she finally recall what was missing. The one missing was actually Taylor, whom she seemed to have never spotted around Titus and Julia the whole time.

On the day she set Taylor free, the latter said she would go back and take care of Titus and Julia, which was the reason why she released Taylor. However, she never saw Taylor around the couple. Did Taylor never go back after that, or did Titus and Julia chase her away?

It was quite impossible for Taylor not to go back. Although Taylor coveted the Gray Family's fortune, Sonia could tell that she did care about Titus and Julia, or she wouldn't have undergone compatibility tests in an attempt to save Titus before coming to plead with her when she found herself unable to do so. After all, by pleading with Sonia, she would blow her cover and get targeted by Toby, not to mention that she couldn't become Tina as a result. And yet, she did so despite knowing these consequences, which could only prove that she genuinely cared about Titus and Julia and sincerely treated them as her parents. Therefore, there was no way she wouldn't look after them.

However, Taylor was indeed absent, which meant there was only one possibility left—Titus and Julia chased her away. This wasn't entirely impossible. Now that Titus and Julia were devoted to Sonia, it was likely for them to chase Taylor away because they only loved their biological daughter. Wouldn't their own daughter get annoyed if they were to keep this fake daughter around them? Therefore, it wasn't really impossible for Titus and Julia to chase Taylor away.

In reality, Sonia was quite pleased with the thought of this. After all, it was only natural for her to be happy when her own parents were able to do such a thing for her sake. She was just an ordinary person with her vanity, so she also hoped that those dearest to her could think of her as the most important person to them. Even if she was still unable to accept Titus and Julia wholeheartedly at the

moment, she would at least resent them less for what they had done.

She put down her phone and called out to Mary, who was tidying up the clothes in the room inside. "Madam Mary!"

Mary came out upon hearing this. "What's the matter, Young Mistress Sonia?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
