Chapter 607
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 607 Can I Kiss You Hearing Soniaâs words, Toby nodded subtly. âWell, youâre not wrong in saying that.â
Smiling, Sonia then continued, âEven if I really did manage to find them, how would we get along? Itâs not suitable to have a parent and child relationship, after all, as we donât have much of a history together. Being relatives is weird as well as they are my own biological parents, which would make both them and me stuck in an awkward situation.â
Up till here, she actually left out a sentence.
And that was, perhaps they were already dead.
âTo not seek and think about them is the most suitable thing to do.â Toby nodded.
Truth was, hearing from Sonia that she wouldnât seek out her biological parents made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if she did and even if Toby did try to prevent her from doing this, sooner or later, she would still know that she was born to the Gray Family.
When that time came, what would she do?
Hence, it would be better for Sonia to not look for her biological parents. This way, she would not feel curious about her true identity and she might even be oblivious to the fact that her parents were the Grays.
âThatâs right. Actually, I was only a bit down when I found out I wasnât the flesh and blood of Mom and Dad. I knew from the instant I stepped into the Reed Family that I was already considered their daughter. As for my biological parents, I donât really care about why they abandoned me anymore.
The moment that I appeared at the orphanage was the moment that our ties were severed,â Sonia commented.
Upon hearing that, Toby nodded. âItâs good that you think of it like that.â
Rubbing her temples, she added, âAlthough I did say all of this, in the end, I still donât have any blood relations with Mom and Dad.â
âIs that why you wanted Jessica to bear a child? Do you want Jessica to continue the bloodline of your family due to you not being the biological daughter of your parents?â It was only then that Toby grasped her true intentions.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Soniaâs mouth. âYouâre right. That is my true aim. Although Jessica did poison Dad, sheâs still his only flesh and blood no matter what. I will let her pay her dues but at the same time, I want her to also continue the bloodline.â
âIn the future, Jessica will definitely go to jail. When that happens, will you be fostering the child in her stead?â Toby questioned as he looked at her.
Sonia nodded. âYes, I will, but Iâm not fostering the child for her. Iâm doing it to groom the next inheritor of the Reed Family. I will make sure to raise the child properly and not let them display any of the bad habits their mother possessed. Then, when they finally grow up, I will let them inherit Paradigm Co. This is the only way I can think of to repay my parents for raising me until now.â
Naturally, if Sonia was the product of her parents, she of course would not do such a thing.
Yet, she was not. Jessica was the one who was.
Hence, she could only continue the bloodline through Jessica.
âI understand now. If you want to, then do it. Iâll help you raise the child.â Toby said gently.
Sitting up straight, Sonia asked, âDonât you think that my actions are unacceptable?â
After all, not everyone could accept her way of repaying her parents.
âI donât think itâs unacceptable.â Toby shook his head. âAs long as you think that this is correct, then just do it with gusto. Iâll support you no matter what.â
Besides, it was just a child. It was not something he could not accept.
Plus, the child was not even a product of Soniaâs and someone elseâs.
âThank you.â Hearing the support and encouragement from Toby made Sonia feel all fuzzy and touched inside, and her expression turned gentle.
âYou donât need to thank me. Weâre in this together, so naturally Iâm on your side.â Reaching out, Toby tucked the strands of hair behind her ear. âBut you cannot let Jessica just get pregnant just like that.â
âI know.â Sonia hummed in agreement and continued in a serious tone, âI know that Jessica would not take it lying just like that. Knowing her, she will definitely try to abort the child somehow. So from the start, I never wanted for her to get pregnant; I just needed her genes.â
If Sonia obtained Jessicaâs genes, she could then find an organization that specialized in genetic reproduction abroad and after ten months, voila, a child would be born.
âThatâs a sound plan. Do you need my help with it?â Toby asked as he gave her a peeled shrimp.
Shaking her head, Sonia said, âThereâs no need. I can manage by myself.â
âAlright, just tell me straight if you need help; you donât have to feel burdened by it. After all, weâre about to reconcile, no?â Setting down his cutlery, Toby said this as he looked at her intently.
Sonia could see the hope emanating from his gaze. In the end, she gave in and nodded. âAlright. If there are any problems, Iâll come to you.â
Toby hummed in response and smiled.
After dinner, it was already 8 PM.
Toby then proceeded to drive Sonia back to Bayside Residence.
After they arrived, he followed her into her apartment.
âYou can sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while. Iâll go get you some tea.â Sonia put her bag down as she said this.
With a slight nod, Toby replied, âI donât need tea. Water will do.â
âYouâll still need to wait though.â Stating her piece, Sonia then went to the kitchen.
Toby sat down on the sofa, but he did not watch TV. Instead, he turned his head in the direction of the kitchen.
After a while, he suddenly stood up and began to walk to the kitchen.
At the entrance to the kitchen, Toby looked at the busy woman before him.
At that moment, Sonia had on an apron as she washed the cups.
Even though Toby had said that tea was not needed, it still looked like she was in the midst of preparing a pot of it.
From her actions in washing the cups alone, he could tell that she did not drink tea often, as she did not use those teacups.
Hence, it was quite obvious that she was washing the cups just for him.
At that thought, Toby was touched by this small action of hers. Walking toward Sonia, he hugged her from behind.
Surprised by this sudden contact, Sonia froze in place with her hand also stopping. It was only after quite a while had passed that she collected herself and turned to face the man, asking, âWhy did you come to the kitchen?â
Yet, she did not order him to let go of her.
Accepting the fact that in the near future they would be together again, Sonia had already resigned herself to having such intimate moments.
It was just that the situation she thought of was pushed forward a little.
So, instead of rejecting his actions, Sonia accepted it, as she has to get used to this sooner or later.
âStaying in the living room by myself was quite boring, so I came to accompany you.â With that, Toby spun her around.
Raising her gaze, Sonia replied, âI donât need your company. Iâm just brewing up a quick pot of tea. Itâs not like Iâm doing anything else.â
âI know, I know. Itâs just that I want to. Also, I miss you, and the taste of your lips.â Tobyâs gaze then landed on her red lips.
Hearing this made Soniaâs pupils dilate. âYou...â
âMay I, Sonia?â Lowering his head, Toby rested his forehead against hers and asked in a hoarse and low tone.
Slowly stiffening up, Sonia had turned as red as a tomato.
She did not know how to respond to him.
If she said no, it would likely hurt him.
Yet, she could not bring herself to say yes.
In the end, she decided to stay silent.
Seeing Sonia keeping her silence, Toby once again opened his mouth and asked, âCan I, Sonia?â
This time around, his voice grew even hoarser, with the expectation in his eyes practically manifesting itself.
Seeing Toby being so expectant made Sonia unable to bear disappointing him. She didnât want to see his bright gaze fizzle out into nothingness, so after a few seconds of hesitation, she finally nodded and hummed in agreement.
Whatever! Weâll have to do this in the future anyway. Whatâs a bit of practicing now going to do?
With that, Sonia let go of such thoughts and relaxed her body.
Her reply made Toby shine with happiness. Finally, he lifted her chin and went in for the kiss.
This was the first time that the two had properly kissed, and it wasnât one of those âaccidentalâ kisses they had in the past.

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending This kiss came from the depths from their hearts, as it also signified Sonia finally accepting Toby again.
Hence, the kiss this time was much sweeter and better than previous experiences.
