This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 751 Sonia’s Worry

Toby raised his eyebrows, feeling slightly surprised about Sonia’s indirect way of complimenting him,

making his day because he reckoned she approved of him. “Eat more if you like it. There’s plenty left

for both of us.” Toby smiled and pulled the chair, sitting down on it before the two of them began to dig

in.

When they were halfway through enjoying their meal, Toby put down his bowl and gazed at Sonia.

“Stay home at rest while I’ll head out to take care of some business. I’ll be back when I’m done.”

“Sure.” Sonia nodded. “Actually, you don’t really have to keep me company because I’m going to work

later.”

“Work?” Toby glimpsed at the balcony and looked back at the lady with a strange gaze. “Are you sure

about that?”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded, still unable to notice Toby’s unusual response.

Toby propped his head and smiled ambiguously at her. “Do you have any idea what time it is now?”

Sonia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that, as she had a bad feeling that surged through her.

“W-What time is it now?” Don’t tell me it’s noon now.

Then, Toby reached for his phone and showed it to Sonia, who got stunned after looking at the time on

the screen. “Sixteen hundred hours?” According to the time in Westsanshire, it should be around 4 PM

now. At the thought of that, she exclaimed with her mouth wide agape in disbelief. “What?! I was asleep

for so long?!”

“You were beat and exhausted, so it’s not surprising that you had a long sleep.” Toby put away his

phone and nodded.

“What do you mean it’s not surprising?” Sonia covered her face in frustration. “I was supposed to visit

the site and inspect the renovation, but…” The renovation team should already be gone by now, yet

here I thought it was just noon by now after I woke up. Wait a second.

“By the way, when did you wake up?” Sonia stared at the man and asked.

“Around noon,” Toby answered upon taking a sip of water.

“Why didn’t you wake me up after you were up for so long?” Sonia raised her voice.

Toby blinked innocently. “Because I wanted you to sleep longer due to the tiring moments we went

through last night. Furthermore, are you sure you were in the right condition to go to work even if I

woke you up at that time?” He subconsciously shifted his gaze to her crotch.

“What’re you looking at?” Sonia steered the man’s face away from her in embarrassment, secretly

admitting the fact that she wouldn’t have been able to head to work, even if Toby had woken her up.

After all, her poor condition wouldn’t have been better before noon either, as she believed she would

have struggled to walk as well.

Ugh, man! If I had insisted on visiting the site to inspect the renovation, I would have become a

laughingstock there.

“Oh man. If I had known that I’d be in such a poor state today, I would have…”

“Don’t worry. Your job isn’t affected at all.” Toby interrupted her words because he would never let her

regret the precious moment they shared the night before.

“What? Did you just say that my job isn’t affected at all?” Sonia’s anxiety seemed to be alleviated by

Toby’s reassuring reply.

Toby nodded and said, “I had Tom apply for leave for both of us this morning, so your secretary should

know what to do. Besides, she hasn’t called you until now, so that must mean she has taken care of

everything.”

Upon hearing the man’s explanation, Sonia squinted and believed that Toby could be right. However,

she was still prompted by her prudent nature to seek confirmation from her secretary. Needless to say,

Toby saw through what was on her mind and decided to hand her phone over to her without even being

asked to do that.

In the meantime, Sonia was about to give Daphne a call to ask the latter about the latest arrangement

of her that day, but as soon as she unlocked her phone screen, she saw her secretary’s message that

was received earlier that morning. It turned out that her original itinerary was rescheduled right after her

absence at work was confirmed. Then, she took a look at the amended schedule and saw the

inspection was delayed to the following day, just as the construction team would postpone their plans. It

was only then that she heaved a sigh of relief and put her mind to ease.

Meanwhile, Toby, who was sitting beside her, was able to see her message. Thus, he smiled and said,

“See? It’s like I said, isn’t it? If your secretary couldn’t take care of something so simple, she should

probably resign and leave the job.”

Nonetheless, Sonia only ignored Toby, putting away her phone as she continued to enjoy her meal.

After that, Toby proceeded to wash the dish and clean the table, but since the dishwashing machine did

most of the job, he didn’t really have to wash them by himself.

On the other hand, Sonia decided to take another bath to relieve the soreness all over her body.

Needless to say, she had help from Toby, who carried her to the bathroom, whereupon he filled the

bathtub with water for her and left her to it. Then, Sonia stood in front of the mirror and took off her

sleeping robe, taking a deep breath at the sight of the bruises that covered all of her body. In fact, when

she spotted the blue-black patches on her collarbone, she had a feeling that there was more than what

she had seen. Now that she had witnessed the bruises with her own eyes, she blamed Toby once

again for putting her through the pain that she was currently experiencing.

“What a rascal!” Sonia complained angrily, calling Toby names for inflicting the bruises on her.

Nevertheless, she quickly put it behind her when she thought about the initiative he took to handle what

could have been a mess to her job.

Therefore, she let out a sigh and placed her arms on the bathtub’s edge, slowly immersing herself in

the water. As the warm water widened the pores on her skin, she felt so comfortable she couldn’t help

but close her eyes and enjoy the wonderful moment with a blissful smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Toby was sitting on the couch outside the bathroom, waiting for Sonia to be done so that he

could carry her. At the same time, he wasn’t just idly waiting. Instead, he reached for his phone and

called his bodyguards, who were nearby, to buy some medicine from the pharmacy. Half an hour later,

Toby heard the lady’s voice from the bathroom. “I’m done, Toby.”

While Sonia’s voice seemingly became more soothing after the cozy shower, Toby gulped with a

darkened gaze. “Coming,” he responded with a deep voice, making his way toward the bathroom, only

to take more than ten minutes to carry Sonia out of it.

At that moment, Sonia was wearing a thin sleeping gown with her noticeably blushed cheeks while

Toby carried her in his arms. Besides that, the sight of her catching her breath with her mouth wide

agape somehow seemed to excite Toby, who appeared to be smiling in satisfaction. As it might

suggest, the couple must have done something intimate within the past ten minutes in the bathroom.

When Toby carried Sonia to the couch and was about to dry her hair for her, the doorbell rang. He then

put down the hairdryer and said, “Sit down. I guess the medicine I ordered someone to buy me is here.

Let me check it out.”

“Medicine? What kind of medicine?” Sonia’s heart sank when she heard that word, which occurred to

her as contraceptive pills. After all, they didn’t have any protection when they went about their intimate

moment the night before.

Thus, she couldn’t help but feel insecure now that Toby had just gotten someone to stop by the

drugstore.

Wait a second! If the medicine he bought is the kind that I’m thinking of, then I…

In the meantime, Toby had no idea what was on Sonia’s mind, so he only told her that she would know

what it was soon enough and went ahead to answer the door, leaving the lady restless and uneasy. By

the time Toby returned to her, he was still able to see the worry that was written on her face.

“What’s wrong?” Toby opened up the paper bag, going through the content inside it while asking the

lady a question.

Sonia shook her head with an avoidant gaze. “Nothing.”

Sensing her reluctance to speak up, Toby decided not to force Sonia and brought the medicine before

her eyes. “Here you go.” When she received it and took a closer look at it, she realized the medicine

was not the contraceptive pills she was expecting, but some anti-inflammatory gel instead.

Sonia blinked. “So, this is the medicine you told someone to buy for you?”

“Yup.” Toby nodded. “Your bruises and my wounds could use a little treatment, so I sent someone to

buy it for us.”

“Is there anything else?” Sonia set her eyes on the paper bag and asked.

“Yes, there is,” Toby replied.

Initially feeling relieved, Sonia was once again overwhelmed by the nervousness that was written all

over her pale face. “So, there is really something else?”
