Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again Chapter 22

“The mango juice is very sweet.” Tina smiled sweetly at Toby, then placed the cup on the table. “Thank you for remembering what i like.”

Toby’s thin lips twitched slightly. “I remember all the things you like.

There’s a fruit farm with decent fruits. Tomorrow, I’ll ask the boss to send two

boxes of mangoes to the Gray

Residence. If there are other fruits

you’d like to eat, you can just tell me.”

“Okay.” Tina responded forcefully. She

started to feel uncomfortable, so she

pushed her chair aside and stood up

as her face became paler. “I’m going to

the restroom. Toby, you can carry on

chatting with my dad.”

Lifting the hem of her dress, she turned and hurried off. Tina had been allergic

to mangoes since she was a child, and having just a little bit would be life threatening. Before she got to the

restroom, she felt her breathing

becoming uneven, then she twisted her

leg and nearly fell down.

“Tina! Tina!” Julia rushed over and

hurriedly held her daughter.

When Julia saw the discomfort on

Tina’s face, she grew anxious. “Are you

out of your mind? You’re allergic to mangoes! Why did you drink the mango juice Toby gave you? Do you have a death wish?”

“Mom, I’m not feeling well…” Tina was

breathing hard and panting as she

tightly clutched Julia’s hand. “Call for a

doctor. You must never let Toby know.

If he asks you, you must say that I love

mangoes.”

“How can you still talk about this at such a time?!” Julia rebuked, trying to

help Tina to the lounge.

But, after taking a few steps, Tina felt

so sick that she fainted.

“Tina!” Julia was panicking so much

that she was almost in tears, and she

was all over the place. “Help! Someone

help!”.

In the banquet hall, Toby and Titus talked for a long time. Toby checked his watch, only to realize that twenty minutes had passed, but Tina hadn’t

retumed yet.

Tina had just recovered, so Toby was afraid that something else had happened to her body. Pushing his

chair back, he got up. “Mr. Gray, I’m

going to look for Tina.”

“Don’t worry. Tina is fine” Julia

happened to return, and when she

heard what Tony said, she chuckled

and assured him, “She’s just a little

sleepy after busying herself with us

today. I’ve brought her to the lounge to

rest.” Then, she added, “Toby, you’ve

also worked hard today. Go back and

get some early rest When Tina wakes

up, her father and I will bring her back.”

The banquet had come to an end, and

Toby was indeed a little tired.

“Then, I’ll have to trouble you with that,

Mrs. Gray,” Toby said solemnly. “When

you’re not so busy with company

affairs, i hope you and Mr. Gray can

honor me with your presence and have

a meal with my mother.”

Julia smiled. “Sure. Be careful on your

way back.”

Toby then retrieved his coat and left.

When he got to the door and turned

around, he saw Julia tell Titus

something before they walked to the

back of the banquet hall in a hurry.

At the side of the hotel, Tom was

already waiting. When Tom saw Toby

coming out, he hurriedly opened the

back door of the car. The car drove

smoothly to the Fuller Residence.

Now that everything had quieted down,

Toby felt even more irritated as scenes

of Sonia turning up at the banquet

crossed his mind. Not to mention,

there was that gentle and handsome

young man beside her.

Toby tugged on his tie. After a while, he

asked Tom in a deep voice, “Have you

found out Carl’s family situation?”

Tom reported his findings truthfully,

“Yes. Carl was born in Jordain County.

It’s a slum area, and it’s close to the

mountains, so the transportation system there isn’t developed. There‘s

only one school, and it’s ten kilometers

away. Six years ago, Miss Reed went to

Jordain County to visit the poor

children and provided Carl with

financial aid. After he left, he was

scouted by Vashine Entertainment on

his way to work during summer

vacation, and now, he’s their most

expensive male model. Carl’s also

particularly smart. Miss Reed was able

to become a shareholder of Paradigm

Co. so quickly because he helped her.”

After hearing all that, Toby said bleakly. “Sonia is controlling Paradigm Co with her shares, but if the shareholders disagree with her, Paradigm Co. won’t

last long. She hasn’t dabbled in the

industry before, so she doesn’t know

anything.”

“Indeed.” Tom agreed. “President Fuller,

although you were forced to marry

Miss Reed, I can see that you treat her well. Knowing that she has just taken

over Paradigm Co., you must be afraid

that President Gray would take revenge

on Miss Reed in the business world for

his daughter’s sake, so you gave her the Ocean’s Heart to get her to leave.”

Toby closed his eyes to rest for a

while. A moment later, he said, “She

often goes to the Fuller Residence to

accompany Grandma. She’s taken care

of her for so many years, so I’m just

doing it for Grandma’s sake.”

Tom smiled. “Yes. Old Mrs. Fuller likes

Miss Reed very much.”

Toby could also tell that Rose liked Sonia very much. Every time he and

Sonia returned to the Fuller Residence,

Rose would hold on to Sonia and talk

to her non-stop. However, when he

brought Tina to visit her, Rose had her

dislike toward Tina clearly written on

her face.

As Toby thought of the fact that Rose

didn’t like Tina, he got a headache. As

such, he said coldly, “Why are you so talkative today?”

Hearing that, Tom immediately kept his mouth shut. At this moment, the phone in Toby’s suit pocket vibrated twice.

When he reached for it, he came into

contact with a small hard object.

Toby looked at his phone first and saw that Tina had sent a message asking if

he had arrived home. After responding

to her message, the man looked at the

ring in his hand under the glow of the

light in the car. Soon, he remembered

that he and Sonia went to the Civil

Affairs Bureau to sign the divorce

papers the other day. After they came

out, he took off his wedding ring and

threw it into his suit pocket. The

servant must have presumed it was a valuable item and dared not remove it, so they placed the ring back after cleaning his suit.

After staring at the ring for a long time, Toby asked, “Did I buy this wedding ring?”

Tom looked at Toby in the rearview

mirror, then at the ring in his hand before saying carefully, “When you

married Miss Reed, you said it would

be hard to explain to Miss Gray if you

bought Miss Reed a wedding dress

and the other necessary stuff, so there

was no wedding dress or grand

ceremony. The wedding ceremony was

simple. Also, you asked Miss Reed to pick the ring on her own, but…” After a pause, Tom continued, “You didn’t give Miss Reed any cards, nor did you ask me to handle it, so Miss Reed bought the wedding ring herself.”

After hearing what Tom said, Toby

stared even more intensely at the ring.

He thought back to how carefree and proud Sonia looked on the day they got

divorced. During their six years of

marriage, Sonia never asked anything

from him, and she left the marriage

with nothing as well.

Tom noticed that Toby was silent for a

long time. He wasn’t sure what he was

thinking, so he asked after carefulText content © NôvelDrama.Org.

consideration, “President Fuller, do you want me to deal with the ring for you?”

“After you arrive at the office tomorrow

moming, sort out Continental Co’s

information,” Toby instructed. “Since

Zane’s company has a cooperation

with Paradigm Co., you can send this information to Paradigm Co. under his

name.”

“Okay.” After working for Toby for

several years, Tom instantly

understood the meaning behind his

words. Then, he said, “Paradigm Co. is

already dying. If they can successfully win over Continental Co., they might be

able to start over, but the only concern

is that Paradigm Co. might not have

enough funds.”

Toby replied, “Then, it depends on how Sonia handles the Ocean’s Heart. The

victory or defeat of Paradigm Co. lies

in her hands.”

Tom couldn’t help but add, “I think Carl

is quite incredible. He could easily

make Miss Reed a new shareholder of

Paradigm Co. If Miss Reed asks him to

help Paradigm Co., then their future.”

As he spoke, Tom noticed a sudden

drop in the atmosphere in the car-it was suddenly so cold that it caused him to shudder. He immediately shut up and drove quietly.

Toby’s gaze fell on the ring again. He thought about how when he wore the

wedding ring while attending various

receptions over the past few years, he

managed to stop many women from

throwing themselves at him. At that

thought, he figured his wedding ring

wasn’t just a meaningless accessory after all.

A few seconds later, Toby put the

wedding ring back into his suit pocket, then said to Tom, “If Paradigm Co. can’t acquire Continental Co., bring

someone in to help.”

Tom responded, “Got it.”
