Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 590 Checking in on You âHow are you so sure?â Sonia asked Rose while looking for her phone.
Rose sipped her tea leisurely. âThat boy... He just wanted us to end our conversation early so you can go back to rest. Although he said he would let us talk for half an hour, I know himâhe definitely canât wait for half an hour. Check your phone if you donât believe me.â
Rose beckoned Sonia to check her phone. And so, Sonia took out her phone and lowered her head, thereupon her beautiful eyebrows twitched after she checked her phone. Then, she laughed. âGrandma, youâre right! Itâs really Toby.â
âTold you. Alright, pick up his call, or else he would come over in person in a short while.â Rose shook her head and smiled helplessly.
With a hum, Sonia swiped the green button with her delicate fingertip and answered the call. âHello?â
âHave you finished chatting with Grandma?â Through the phone, Sonia heard Tobyâs deep and pleasant voice.
Sonia nodded slightly. âYeah, weâre almost done.â
âThen, hurry up and ask the servant to bring you over to rest,â Toby said.
Sonia rubbed in between her eyebrows. âDonât rush us. I want to stay with Grandma for a little longer.â
âYouâre not feeling cold there?â Toby frowned. âBesides, Grandma needs her rest. Sheâs old and canât stay up late.â
Meanwhile, Rose was leaning her ear close to Soniaâs phone. When she heard Tobyâs words, she rolled her eyes.
What does this boy mean by I canât stay up late just because Iâm old? Heâs definitely spewing nonsense! Heâs clearly aware of my insomnia and that I basically go to bed very late every night.
It was none other than a false claim when Toby told Sonia that Rose could not stay up late.
Heh. Toby thinks I canât see through him when I know whatâs up his sleeve most of the time. Itâs just an excuse to trick Sonia into leaving and resting early. Alright. Fine. What more could I say? Itâs all written down by the will of fate. Being able to witness how he wholeheartedly pursues Sonia, I guess Iâll help them.
At the thought of this, Rose moved her head away from Soniaâs phone and then held her forehead tiredly. âMary, what time is it now?â
âItâs ten oâclock, Old Mrs. Fuller,â Mary said as she glanced at the time.
Pretending to be surprised, Rose stood up. âItâs already ten oâclock? Oh my, itâs already this late? Mary, isnât it time for me to take my medicine?â As she spoke, she winked at Mary.
Of course, Mary would understand what Rose meant with a small signal, seeing she had served the old woman for decades.
With her head half-lowered, Mary tried to hold back the smile that was slowly painted across her face. She stepped forward to help Rose up. âYes, Old Mrs. Fuller. The doctor said you must take your medicine at ten oâclock every night, so why donât we go back to your room first? And since you will feel sleepy after taking your pills, you should rest early as well.â
âI guess youâre right. Letâs go back first.â Rose nodded, then turned to look at Sonia and sighed. âSonia, I have to go back to take my medicine first.
Why donât you listen to Toby and go back and get some shut-eye?â
The corner of Soniaâs mouth twitched, and in her heart, she knew Rose was not returning to her room at this hour to take her medicine. Instead, Rose took it as an excuse to pardon herself from the conversation. The reason for Rose to do this was just to fulfill Tobyâs wish to have Sonia go back. Also, she could see that Rose had been trying to play cupid for her and Toby the whole night tonight.
Odd. Wasnât Rose the one who clearly said she would not match Toby and me together anymore? But why would she have such intentions now?
Could it be that she saw through my feelings for Toby? As expected, everyone had already noticed that I had fallen in love with Toby again. Only I myself was blind enough not to notice and needed Nancy to remind me about it.
Though she let out a rueful smile in her heart, on the outside, she responded with a radiant smile on her face. âI understand, Grandma. You rest early too, you hear?â
âI know... I know... Alright, Iâll get going first, and there will be someone coming over to take you to your room later.â After that, Rose turned her head and looked at Mary, and she immediately walked Rose out of the pavilion.
Now, only Sonia was left in the pavilion. She looked down and saw that the phone screen was still showing that the call was ongoing. Her mouth widened, for she was feeling surprised. The call is still ongoing!?
She thought Toby had hung up while she was talking to Rose. Sonia immediately held the phone close to her ear and asked, âToby, are you still there?â
âYeah!â Toby replied.
Seeing as he answered her in a flash, it was obvious that he had been keeping the phone close to his ear and had never taken it down all this time.
Otherwise, he could not have heard her query and responded right away.
Soniaâs heart softened, and she said, âSorry, I was just saying a few words to Grandma.â
âI know.â Toby nodded. âGrandma has allowed you to rest early too.â
âYou heard that?â Sonia exclaimed, feeling surprised.
Head lowered, Toby gave out a soft laugh. âWell, Grandmaâs voice was rather loud. Alright. Just stay there and wait for me. Iâll go over to pick you up and take you to your room.â
âNo need for that, Toby. Grandma said sheâll let the servant bring me over...â
Before Sonia could finish her words, Toby instantly hung up the call. Dumbfounded and confused, Sonia could only watch her phoneâs interface switch back to the main page.
Ever since the day Toby decided to express his feelings for her, it was mostly her who would hang up first on their conversation. But this time, he hung up the call ahead of her, so it was evident that he did not want to hear her saying things like asking him not to come over.
Then, so be it. Since heâs already on his way here, I might as well ask him to send me to my room. Sonia then put her phone back into her bag, picked up the teacup, and sipped her tea while waiting for Tobyâs arrival.
After having waited for about ten minutes, she heard footsteps coming from outside of the pavilion. She put down the teacup, got up, and walked toward the door, preparing to open it. But who knew, before her hand could touch the eaves, the door was pulled open from the outside.
Bewildered, Sonia looked up, and her eyes instantly met with Tobyâs. Since Toby did not expect Sonia to be standing behind the door, he startled for a moment and smiled. âCould it be that you were opening the door for me?â
Sonia shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, after which Toby walked into the pavilion and put down the bag in his hand.
âYou... What is this?â Sonia asked as her head lowered down, looking at the bag Toby had put on the table.
âShoes,â Toby replied. After that, he opened the bag, revealing an exquisite-looking shoebox.
As she looked at the packaging of the shoebox, she took a rough guess in her heart. The pair of shoes inside the box was probably Tobyâs gift for her.
After all, where on earth could one find a pair of menâs shoes being wrapped and packed up in a pink shoebox? Moreover, the size of the shoebox was small, so it could not possibly fit in a pair of menâs shoes.
Just as Sonia had expected, a pair of beautiful womenâs plush slippers was revealed before her eyes as soon as Toby took off the lid of the shoebox.
Toby pulled out a chair and sat down, and then he patted the chair across from him. âSit here.â

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending Sonia hesitated for two seconds but eventually sat down.
âThis pair of slippers... is for you.â Toby picked up one of the plush slippers. âYou may need to walk on that uneven pathway a few more times as it will only be shoveled off starting tomorrow. But once you put on this pair of slippers, you donât have to worry about staggering to your feet again.â
At once, he bent down, and his hands reached out for Soniaâs foot.
Soniaâs pupils shrank after she realized Toby wanted to help her change her shoes, so she retracted her foot. âI can put them on myself.â
Tobyâs hand was left afloat, and he looked up at Sonia.
When he saw the blush on Soniaâs face and the uneasiness in her eyes, he could not help but chuckle a little. So, he placed the slipper on the floor in front of her, took out another slipper, and placed it on the floor in front of her as well. Then, his thin lips opened slightly. âOkay, Iâll let you put them on yourself.â
Well, look at her being shy and all.
Seeing that Toby had no intention to help her to change her shoes forcibly, Sonia breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she bent down, took off her high heels, and put on the plush slippers that Toby brought.
