This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“I had a feeling you’d say that, so I already told my mom that we would only visit her after some time. My

mom was okay with it,” Charles replied with a playful smile on his face.

Sonia smiled in return. “That’s great.” Right then, her phone began to ring. She pulled it out of her pocket

and held it up to Charles. “Who’s calling, Charles?”

“Tim,” Charles replied after glancing at the screen.

“I got it.” Sonia took the phone and swiped her finger across the screen, using her muscle memory to

pick the call up. “Dr. Lancaster,” she greeted.

“I’ve already sent an application to the charity fund to get money for Alice to pay for treatment. I’ve put in

a word and the application will be approved. We’ll get the funds soon,” Tim uttered.

“Thank you so much,” Sonia replied.

“Of course. I’d do anything to fulfill your wishes,” Tim stated. Sonia chuckled at this before she asked,

“Hey, how is Carl’s treatment going?”

“He just started receiving treatment, so nothing much has happened yet,” Tim answered honestly.

Sonia pressed her red lips together. “I know. Charles told me that Carl’s condition is rather serious and

that it might take weeks and weeks of treatment, so I don’t expect there to be any changes on the first

day. However, I was just wondering if the session went smoothly, and if he is cooperating?”

On the other end of the line, Tim sat down at his table and stared as Carl slept soundly on the couch in

front of him. Tim’s glasses gleamed for a moment before he replied, “He gets along well with me on the

surface, but deep down, he’s really conflicted.”

“Conflicted?” Sonia knitted her brows. Tim nodded. “That’s right. Deep down, he’s in conflict over the

idea of receiving therapy for his psychological issues, so he struggles to open up to me. He isn’t willing to

tell me anything, and he doesn’t answer the questions I have for him. I would say that therapy with him

hasn’t been smooth-sailing so far.”

“I got it. Thank you so much. I’ll speak to him about this and get him to work well with you,” Sonia uttered

in a bashful tone. “Is Carl still with you now?” she asked.

“Yeah. He didn’t manage to get sleep in the past few days, so I hypnotized him and put him to bed,” Tim

replied as he pushed his glasses up his nose.

“I got it.” Sonia nodded. “I’ll call him after he wakes up.” Once the call was over, Charles walked over

while chewing on mango. “Why did Tim call you?”

“He told me that he sent in an application to the charity fund for Alice.” Sonia threw her phone aside.

Charles pouted upon hearing her words. “I have no idea what’s going on in your mind, baby. Alice was

the one who helped your attacker take the blame, yet you offered to apply for charity funds for her. I

wouldn’t have done a thing for her if I were in your position.”

While massaging her temples, Sonia beamed at him. “Indeed, Alice is wrong for agreeing to be Taylor’s

scapegoat, but the child is innocent and it’s obvious that Taylor has no plans of paying Alice the money. If

the child doesn’t get surgery soon, he might actually die, and I can’t just sit by and watch. I have to do

what I can. Furthermore, Alice said it herself—she’ll go over to the orphanage to volunteer as a social

worker after her son gets the surgery. I guess she’s atoning for her sins in some way.”

Charles sighed. “You’re just too kind. Kindness isn’t always a virtue, you know.”

“I know. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Sonia uttered as she patted Charles on the shoulder to

reassure him.

“Okay, fine. I can’t do much else since you already made up your mind. The best I can do is to watch

over you and make sure that I’m always around to protect you.” Charles rubbed his belly while changing

the topic. “I’m starting to feel a little hungry. I think I’ll stay for dinner, baby.”

“Sure,” Sonia agreed. Wanda took a look at the clock. “It’s about time for dinner. I’ll head into the kitchen

now, Miss Reed.”

“Okay.” Sonia nodded.

Wanda had impressive cooking skills—Sonia could tell from the desserts that Wanda had prepared

during teatime. Charles headed home that evening with a bulging belly and a heart full of joy. Even

Sonia, who usually ate half a bowl of rice at most, had to lie down on the couch because she was too full

after dinner.

Wanda eventually assisted Sonia in showering and helping her get ready for bed. After switching the

lights off, Wanda quietly exited the room. Once she was out of the room, Wanda pulled her phone out

and dialed Toby’s number. “Young Master Toby,” she uttered into the phone.

“Hey, Wanda. Is Sonia asleep?” Toby asked. Wanda wouldn’t dare to call him if Sonia wasn’t asleep

because she would only end up exposing herself.

“Yes. Miss Reed just fell asleep,” Wanda replied and proceeded to give Toby a detailed report of the day.

When Toby heard that Charles had stayed at Bayside Residence for dinner, a dark cloud seemed to

hover over his handsome face. “I got it. It’s good that she didn’t suspect your identity. Take good care of

her and let me know if anything happens.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master Toby. I will,” Wanda replied.

Toby could hear Tom calling for him, so he gave Tom a nod before returning to the call. “I’ll end the call

now if that’s all.” Once Toby put the phone down, he turned to look at Tom. “What is it?”
