This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“I’m Carl Lee,” he introduced himself.

Wanda instantly made the connection. “Oh, so you’re Mr. Lee.”

“You know me?” He was a little surprised.

She smiled. “I heard Miss Reed mentioning you before. Come in, Mr. Lee.”

“I see.” Upon hearing that Sonia had mentioned him to Wanda before, Carl seemed to be in a good

mood as he smiled. Then, he entered the house as an invited guest.

“Sonia.” Upon arriving at the living room, he caught sight of Sonia, who was having breakfast, so he

called her name.

When she heard his voice, Sonia perked up. “What brings you here, Carl?”

“I secured a role in a movie as a supporting character who is also a model, so I’m on the way to the

shoot. We were passing by your place, so I dropped by to say hi,” a smiling Carl replied.

With a nod, she responded, “I see. That’s great! You’re surpassing your modeling career and entering

the filming industry. Do you intend to go further in the field?”

“Not really. I just thought it’d be fun to try filming, you know. It’s just a phase.” He shook his head.

Sonia leered. “That’s fine as well. Right, have you had your breakfast?”

“Not yet.” Carl rubbed his stomach.

Then, Sonia told Wanda, “Wanda, please prepare some breakfast for Carl.”

“All right. Please wait a little, Mr. Lee. I’ll be right back,” Wanda answered.

“Thank you so much.” He politely smiled at her.

She waved her hand to indicate that he was most welcome before heading into the kitchen.

He took a seat that was on Sonia’s right. “Sonia, when did you get a caregiver?”

“Just two days ago. I can’t see, so I need someone to help,” she replied as she drank some milk.

Carl threw a few glances at the kitchen. “Is she reliable?”

“She’s not bad and quite considerate as well. She’s a bit too kind, however. It doesn’t matter that much

since I won’t have a need for a caregiver once I have my sight back.” Sonia put down her milk.

“That’s good to know.” He raised his chin.

“All right, enough of that topic.” She couldn’t see him, but she could guess where he was, so she turned

to face him. “What about you? Tim told me yesterday that you’re a bit uncooperative in your treatment.

What’s up?”

While Carl lowered his gaze, he denied, “That’s not true.”

“Really?” Sonia narrowed her eyes. “Tim told me that you wouldn’t answer his questions. How can he

help you if you’re like this?”

“He asked a lot of questions about my past and I don’t want to talk about that either,” he answered

stoically as he rubbed his finger.

She sighed. “No matter what, you’ll have to face it sooner or later. If not, you’ll never get better.”

“I know, Sonia. Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way to overcome it.” Carl looked down to hide the darkness in

his eyes, but his voice remained gentle.

As Sonia couldn’t see him, she took him for his word and gave a comforting smile before she

commented, “That’s good.”

“Right, Sonia, I have received an opportunity to endorse a luxury watch, but it’s a couples watch, so I’ll

need a partner. Why don’t you come with me to the commercial shoot? You can be my partner.” Carl

looked at Sonia.

“Me?” She pointed at herself in surprise. “Filming a commercial with you?”

“Yup.”

“Quit joking.” She hastily waved her hands in denial. “I’m nobody; I can’t film commercials. Also, luxury

brands always look for internationally famous models and film stars, so they wouldn’t look for nobodies

like me. Carl, stop pulling my leg.”

Carl took Sonia’s hand. “I’m not! I mean it, they said that I can look for my own partner. I don’t want to

shoot with the stars and models in the field, so please help me out, Sonia.”

Sonia retracted her hand. “I can’t. You were allowed to find your own partner, but they were surely

expecting you to turn up with a model or a star whom you’re on good terms with. They’re definitely not

asking you to find an amateur! If I go with you and they disagree with your choice, then how awkward

would that be for me? Also, I don’t know anything about shooting commercials, so don’t trouble me like

this, Carl, okay? Be good.”

She felt around and managed to pat him on the shoulder.

Carl pursed his lips, but he didn’t say more.

With the helpless shake of her head, she knew that he was sulking again.

Also, ever since Sonia learned that Carl had drugged her, she realized that the real Carl was incredibly

moody, which was a pain in her neck.

So, it was during times like these when she actually missed the gentle and polite Carl that he pretended

to be.

After breakfast, Carl had to leave Bayside Residence and head toward the venue of his film shoot.

Sonia saw him off and after he entered the car to leave, she turned around with Wanda and went inside

the house.

Somewhere behind them was a low-lying car parked by the road in front of Bayside Residence. Inside

the car, a feminine man glared coldly at Sonia’s figure. As he spoke, his hoarse voice sounded like it was

filled with lead, which made it unpleasant to hear. “So, that’s the woman Lucius has his eyes on?”

“That is correct, Young Master Declan,” the burly man in the driver’s seat responded.

The feminine man snorted in disdain. “Is his eyesight going like hers? Why would he be interested in a

blind woman?”

“Blind?” The burly man was stunned.

“What’s wrong?” The feminine man glanced at him.

The burly man scratched his head. “When I was investigating this woman, she wasn’t blind.”

“Oh?” The feminine man had a terrible expression as he stared at the burly man, his eyes resembling

that of a poisonous snake. “So, we have the wrong woman?”
