Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 802

Chapter 802 Hurtful Words

“I was the one who told Anya not to say anything,” Sonia replied smilingly.

Charles frowned, unable to comprehend the reason for it. “Why?”

“Why else? What if someone got killed for real?” Sonia said, rubbing her temples.

Charles understood immediately, but he also fell silent.

Yes, it’ll be terrible if someone died.

“Ahem.” Nonetheless, Charles quickly regained his composure. He adjusted his tie and smiled again. “I thought that woman didn’t say anything on purpose.”

“She wouldn’t dare to,” Sonia replied with assurance.

Anya would dare to misguide the netizens, but she would never be brave enough to hide her reasons for apologizing.

After all, those were entirely different things.

Not everyone was smart enough to notice that she was misguiding the netizens, but if she refused to explain her reasons for apologizing, everyone would be able to catch on.

As such, Sonia was very sure that Anya wouldn’t dare to do it.

“Alright, since that’s what you want, then I won’t say anything more. Sonny, just keep an eye on Toby and don’t let him attract any more girls outside. If you can’t do that, you can just abandon him. Otherwise, you’ll end up getting hurt yourself,” Charles said with a pout.

Meanwhile, Sonia didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. “Alright, I’m not a fool. I know what to do, so don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself first.”

“Me?” Charles pointed at himself in confusion. “What is there to worry about?”

Sonia looked over to Daphne, who had her head lowered as she quietly listened to her call. Sighing in her heart, Sonia prodded Charles over the phone. “Your love life, of course. Charles, you’re almost 31 now. Don’t you want to get a girlfriend?”

Upon hearing that, Daphne swiftly raised her head and stared at Sonia’s phone with a panicked look in her eyes.

“Chairman…” Daphne called in a quiet voice. She feared that Sonia would recommend her to Charles just then.

After all, Sonia was always supportive of her pursuing Charles.

If Charles didn’t dislike her and Sonia had recommended her, she would only be nervous instead of scared.

However, it was true that Charles disliked her. If Sonia recommended Daphne, Charles would think she had asked Sonia to do the recommendation. By then, Charles would hate her even more.

Sonia knew what Daphne was worried about with just a glance at the latter’s expression.

She shook her head slightly at Daphne while giving the latter a comforting smile. It was as if she were saying, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t say anything unnecessary.’

Upon seeing that, Daphne finally managed to calm herself a little.

However, she hadn’t completely relaxed yet as her kept her gaze trained on Sonia’s phone.

After hearing Sonia ask about his love life, Charles had a darkened expression on his face. He then said with a bitter smile, “Don’t you know me well enough, Sonny? I’ve never gotten over you, so how can I find a new girlfriend? Even if I did, it wouldn’t be fair for her.”

“I know.” Sonia sighed. “But you can find a compatible woman to accept and love. Who knows, maybe you’ll really fall in love with her in the end.”

“There isn’t anyone suitable,” said Charles disapprovingly while he shrugged his shoulders.

Sonia looked toward Daphne, and the latter tensed up once again.

Meanwhile, Sonia hastily averted her gaze and said tentatively, “Perhaps you haven’t looked hard enough. You’re so handsome, and you have a good family background too. There should be lots of girls who like you, so why don’t you try it out with a girl who likes you a lot?”

“Why would she want to treat us to a meal?” Sonia was surprised.

It was normal for Grace to treat her to a meal, but it wasn’t usual for Toby to be invited as well. Hence, Sonia couldn’t help but overthink.

Charles smiled. “You two getting back together is no small matter, and my mom treats you like her own daughter. It seems like she wants to invite the both of you to a meal so that she can have a word with Toby. After all, Toby has taken her goddaughter away for a second time, and it’s only natural for her to want to have a word with him.”

Sonia nodded and smiled. “I see. Alright, please tell Mrs. Lane that Toby and I would gladly accept her invitation. Just tell us the date.”

“Sure,” Charles replied.

After ending the call, Sonia put down her phone and sighed slightly. She then looked at Daphne, who had her head lowered so that no one could see her expression. Guilt washed over Sonia as she said, “Daphne… I’m so sorry for what happened just now. I didn’t know that Charles would—”

“It’s okay, Chairman.” Daphne looked up, her eyes red and expression sorrowful. Despite that, she still managed to squeeze a smile onto her lips.

It was a tight and difficult smile, however.

“I know you’re trying to make it work for my sake, so I’m not going to blame you. You did it out of kindness, after all. I know you just want me to be happy. Still, I’ve always known what he’s like, so I’m not surprised at all to hear him talk like that. After all, he doesn’t fancy girls who like him—especially when it’s me.” Daphne’s voice was bitter.

After all, it was her fault for getting onto Charles’ bed while he was drunk.

Even though he was the one who held onto her and refused to let her go because he had mistaken her for Sonia, the woman was sober. A grown adult should have enough energy to push a drunkard away and even send the drunkard somewhere they could sober up.

However, she didn’t do that; she allowed him to do whatever he pleased and indulged in it herself. Hence, it was why Charles hated her so much right now.

She did it to herself, and she deserved it very much.

Sometimes she would ask herself if she regretted not pushing Charles away that day.

She couldn’t deceive herself, and she felt nothing but regret.
