Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 808

Chapter 808 Toby’s Counseling

Besides, Toby was also able to tell from Sonia’s aura that she seemed depressed and preoccupied, as if she had just gone through something saddening. “What’s wrong?” Toby sat down beside Sonia and grabbed her shoulders, gently nudging her. “Did something happen?”

When Sonia felt the nudge, she finally snapped out of her trance and blinked, her darkened eyes finally brightening up. “You’re back.” She looked at the man with a smile on her face.

Toby responded with an affirmative hum. “Yeah, I’m back, but why are you still up at this hour? Why are you sitting here in the living room without turning the lights on? Was there something that happened? Tell me what happened.”

In the face of the man’s bombardment of questions, Sonia shook her head and sighed. “Nothing.”

However, Toby didn’t seem to believe Sonia as he pursed his lips and asked, “Then, why are you acting so strange if nothing happened?”

Sonia responded with silence, knowing she couldn’t hide what she was thinking from the man.

“Just tell me what happened.” Toby ruffled her hair with his hand and said with a concerned voice, “Don’t keep me in the dark. You know that’ll only make me even more worried.”

Feeling warm on the inside, Sonia stopped sitting up straight as she gave in and hunched. Resting her head on his shoulder, she explained, “I ran into Titus and his wife an hour ago.”

“Titus and his wife?” Toby, who was caressing Sonia’s hair, paused for a second.

“Yeah.”

“Where did you run into them?”

“I went to the pastry shop nearby to buy some blueberry cake after visiting my father. Then, when I was waiting for my order to be ready, Titus and his wife showed up,” Sonia answered.

“Did they give you a hard time?” Toby knitted his eyebrows.

“No, they didn’t.” Sonia shook her head. “We quarreled a bit as usual, but…”

“But what?” Toby’s heart skipped a beat.

Sonia raised her hand. “When Mrs. Gray saw the scar on my wrist, she began acting strange. She then caught my hand and asked me about the scar, wanting to know whether there was something else there before I got it. Do you think…”

Before Sonia could finish her sentence, Toby’s face changed as he tightened his arm around her waist. Then, he gulped and asked in a serious manner, “Did you tell her about it?”

“Wait.” Sonia looked up and fixed her gaze on the man. “What?”

“I said, did you tell her about your scar and what was there before you got it?” Toby kept his eyes down, his tone sounding as if something went wrong.

Sonia shook her head. “No, I didn’t. I had no idea why Mrs. Gray was asking me about my scar, and I wasn’t sure whether it was a trap, so I brushed her off without telling her anything.”

“Empathetic?” Sonia knitted her eyebrows.

Sonia responded with an affirmative hum and said, “Yes, that’s what makes you go soft easily. Furthermore, Titus is sick, which makes the entire Gray Family look miserable, so when you see them, you tend to empathize with them due to your kind nature. After all, you can never do anything, such as gloating over someone’s misfortune, and that renders you susceptible to them.”

Toby’s words somehow made sense to Sonia, but the lady still seemed a little skeptical as she asked, “Are you sure that’s the case?” She looked up and fixed her gaze on the man.

In the face of her unwavering eyes, Toby felt his guilt haunting him as he looked away and took his eyes off hers to divert his attention. “Of course.” He faked a cough before answering with a hoarse voice.

Little did Sonia know that Toby was actually just making up a plausible story to keep her imagination from running wild. In fact, the reason her emotions were so susceptible to Titus and Julia was because of her blood relation with them. After all, blood relations were the most magical thing in the world, even though they might not be aware of their relationship, not to mention the hatred they had for each other. It was exactly what held Sonia together with Titus and Julia, making them feel differently toward each other. Although Toby was aware of the influence their blood relation had over them, he restrained himself from telling Sonia the truth by lying to her that she was being too kind, thinking he was doing that for her own good.

Sonia’s blood relation with Titus and Julia had never influenced her so much, but her feelings toward them have grown a lot stronger now. I suppose I have to do something before things get out of hand.

At the thought of that, Toby cupped Sonia’s face and said in a serious manner, “From now on, you have to stay away from Titus and his wife as much as you can. Your soft spot for them will only get the better of you and even keep you from exacting your revenge on them.”

“Come on! That’s not going to happen.” Sonia laughed.

“Just in case!” Toby didn’t laugh with her but instead continued to show a serious look on his face.

In the face of the man’s stern look, Sonia decided to stop being funny and nodded in a serious manner. “Alright. Alright, I get you. You have a point. I have started acting a little strange ever since the last two times I met them. Somehow, I have a feeling that they are leading me by the nose, like I’m not myself anymore. So, I should probably stay away from them.”
