Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774 An Angry Sonia

On the way back, Sonia sat in the backseat with a particularly sullen expression and judging by the way her chest was rising and falling rapidly, it was clear that she was still furious.

Toby registered how hard she was breathing, then let out a dry cough as he retracted his gaze from her chest area. He thought it was best to proceed with caution as he asked, “Are you still mad?”

He could tell that Sonia had only intended to mock Anya at the beginning, but toward the end, there was no mistaking that she was boiling with rage, which explained why she was still sulking until now.

Not realizing that the way her chest rose and fell had provided quite the suggestive show to the man next to her, Sonia turned to glare at him and snapped, “Are you asking me to calm down after encountering such a shameless little skank? Believe it or not, she would have leaped into an entire dance sequence about how she’d like to take care of you and nurse you back to health to ease her rotten conscience had I not asked her to put a sock in it! She would have insisted on staying by your side or something like that.”

“And how are you so sure about that?” Toby asked with a teasing smile.

She scoffed. “Didn’t you see how her eyes sparkled when she saw you? Please, I can smell her desperation from miles away! If she likes you that much, surely she’d try to find a way to stay by your side, or at the very least get close to you. Besides, she was sobbing herself silly when she begged me to let her take care of you last night!”

“Oh, I can vouch for that, President Fuller,” Tom spoke up from the driver’s seat, nodding firmly as he glanced into the rearview mirror to address Toby.

Toby shot him a cold look.

The assistant retracted his neck and turned his attention back on the road, pretending as if he said nothing at all.

However, his comical demeanor amused Sonia, who sputtered and felt the rage in her die down. “See, even Mr. Brown thinks I was right to put that skank in her place. The bottom line is that the woman is shameless and she most definitely would have made ridiculous requests if I hadn’t given her a piece of my mind, so I did.” At the mention of this, she curiously eyed Toby. “I must have made myself look bad when I snapped at her back there.”

Toby raised a brow. “Why would you say that?”

“Because no one likes a shrew, which I’d wager is what I looked like earlier,” she pointed out as she nervously assessed him.

He stared into her eyes for a few seconds, and under Sonia’s anxious scrutiny, he suddenly chuckled and reassured, “Not at all!”

Sonia let out an obvious sigh of relief, though she still eyed him skeptically as she asked, “Really?”

“Really,” Toby promised, nodding firmly.

She laughed. “Well, that’s more like it, I suppose. I was thinking how maniacal I must have looked while putting that woman in her place.”

“No, you actually looked pretty adorable,” Toby commented as he propped his head against his knuckles, sounding serious.

“Really? Don’t spin me a line now, Toby. Was I really adorable?” Sonia asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

“Definitely adorable,” he confirmed as his smile deepened. “I have never seen you give someone a piece of your mind ever so vigorously and you didn’t even point a finger at her or make gestures in her face. You articulated your words well, but what was more endearing was how your eyes were wide and your face was flushed. You looked like an angry pufferfish.”

She lowered her gaze, which suddenly grew icy as she added, “I’ve been through a lot, which is why I am really defensive about our relationship. I wouldn’t be able to stand having someone trying to stir up trouble to tear us apart. I’d probably nip it in the bud before things spiraled out of control and we both ended up getting hurt, or I’d give up on us at worst. I would never cling onto a fraying relationship like some hopeless, hysterical shrew.”

Sonia remembered how the sirens had sounded off in her head when she first saw Anya in the room with Toby. That lady had obvious intentions for Toby and Sonia had wanted nothing more than to get rid of her. She wanted to dash all of Anya’s hopes to get close to Toby and stand guard over this painstakingly-recovered relationship of theirs.

That said, it wasn’t as if she didn’t believe her love with Toby was strong enough to take a hit. She just didn’t want to have to deal with all these disgusting and unnecessary challenges along the way.

Tina had already brought enough trouble and heartache to her and Toby and she didn’t want their relationship to suffer from another skank’s schemes.

As such, Sonia had asked Tom to immediately remove Anya from their presence. She certainly hadn’t expected Anya to be so persistent as to wheel herself over to see him earlier today. When Anya did not see Toby anywhere near Tom, she had waited patiently at the hospital parking lot just to get a glimpse of Toby and speak to him. This would have made for a touching story if it weren’t for the fact that she was pining after Toby.

Unfortunately, that was not the case and her continuous attempts to try and get his attention inevitably caused Sonia’s rage to burn. Why should I have to spare her feelings then? Sonia reasoned with herself.

Sonia knew she couldn’t be patient enough to wait for Toby to put the annoying girl in place, and she definitely was not saintly enough to hold back until the woman showed her hand.

What she had wanted to do back there was to strike first and weed the woman out of the picture before things festered. She had wanted to crush that woman’s hopes entirely!
