This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Zane gulped and sighed. “Alright. Alright, I’ll cut the crap and get to the point now. I-uh-… heard that you

already knew Toby was your child’s father, so…”

“So what?” Sonia stared at the man with her cold, piercing gaze.

For the first time, Zane felt Sonia’s indifferent attitude as she had never treated him so coldly, not even

before they grew closer to each other three months ago. Oh man, it looks like she is really pissed off with

me! At the thought of that, Zane looked down and apologized. “I’m sorry, Sonia. I shouldn’t have held out

on you.”

Sonia sniggered and fixed her gaze on him. “You shouldn’t have held out on me? Oh, you sure looked

like you were enjoying those moments while I acted like a fool with no idea what was going on. In fact, I

asked you a few times who Z-H was, but you brushed me off with some silly and perfunctory answers

every single time. So, how did that look like you shouldn’t have held out on me? And now that you came

to me for forgiveness, I can’t help but find your apology insincere and fake. After all, I don’t think you

apologized because you’ve learned from your mistakes, but because your lie has been exposed. For

that, you were forced to apologize to me. Aren’t I right?”

“Ugh…” Zane’s lips stiffened in silence because he couldn’t refute a single word she said. Indeed, he

wouldn’t have apologized and confessed his mistakes to her if she hadn’t known the truth beforehand.

Looking at Zane’s guilty look, Sonia rubbed her forehead and asked, “So, is this why you came here? To

apologize to me?”

“Yes.” Zane rubbed his nose. “It was true that I helped Toby keep you in the dark, and if you hadn’t

discovered the truth, I would have continued to sit on the secret. In fact, when I first agreed to help Toby,

I was merely doing it out of kind intentions, but as we got along with each other in the past few months, I

started to think that hiding the truth from you was for your own good because I didn’t want the revelation

to break your heart. I’m your friend after all.”

“My friend?” Sonia sneered. What a ‘friend‘ you are to me, Zane! For someone who lied to me and

betrayed my trust, you‘re a pretty ‘good‘ friend, but I don‘t think I deserve to be your friend.

Nevertheless, Zane had no idea what Sonia was thinking in her head. He was then seen putting his

hands down as he went on and said, “I didn’t think you’d find out about it so soon, but since you already

found out about it, I suppose I must do something, which is why I came to apologize. After all, I’m at fault

for having hidden the truth from you, so I hope you could forgive me, Sonia.”

After finishing his words, Zane bowed down to Sonia in a sincere manner, but the lady took a step back

and said, “Fine, I understand why you helped Toby hide the truth from me since he is your friend.”

Zane’s eyes lit up as he stood up and agitatedly looked at her. “Does that mean you’re going to forgive

me?”

Well, understanding and forgiveness are two different things. Sonia shook her head emotionlessly and

replied, “No. I understand you, but that doesn’t mean I forgive you. You might have done what you

should as Toby’s friend, but to me, what you did was simply unacceptable. From now on, you and I are

no longer friends anymore. Instead, we‘re just allies whose common enemy is the Gray Family.”

“Allies..” Zane’s facial expression stiffened.

“Exactly. Nothing more than allies!” Sonia pursed her lips and shut the door immediately, leaving the man

alone outside her doorstep. With his eyes glued to the door, Zane was overwhelmed by disappointment.

At that moment, he felt like crying.

I thought she was going to forgive me, but it turned out that she didn‘t want to be friends with me

anymore.

It was then that Zane recalled how much he went through just to make a positive impression on Sonia

and become friends with her while working his way to win her heart over. However, he was quickly

dismayed and discouraged by the thought that he could no longer be friends with her, let alone woo her.

Therefore, he scratched his head in annoyance. “No way! I mustn’t let things worsen!” I must talk to

Sonia and save our friendship at the very least, even though she may not forgive me in the end.

As Zane raised his hand and was about to reach the doorbell, the phone in his pocket rang. With a frown

on his face, he rummaged for his phone before realizing it was a call from home. Therefore, he quickly

answered it and said, “Hello.” After hearing what the caller told him, his face changed. “Alright, I heard

you. I’m coming back now.” Then, he took his phone away from his ear and typed a text message,

whereupon he sent it to Sonia and made for the elevator hastily.

On the other hand, Sonia was going to grab herself a glass of water when she heard her phone vibrating

on the table. Thus, she reached for it, only to realize that it was a message from Zane. She then put

down the glass of water and viewed the content of the message he sent her. ‘Sonia, I have something I

must attend to right now, but when I’m done with that, let’s talk things through. Can we?‘
