This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 972 She Likes Zane

Sonia was aware that Rina was following her from behind. Not only that, Rina was also looking at her suspiciously,

which irritated her as it appeared that she had done something shady.

However, why did Rina want to chase her out of the restaurant in the first place? This action of hers had only

piqued Sonia’s interest.

What was the reason behind that?

Though Sonia was dying to know, she did not explicitly ask Rina as she knew that Rina would not answer her.

Hence, she could only find the answer herself.

As she was in her thoughts, her steps slowed down and she cast a sidelong glance at the person behind her.

That person nervously halted her steps when she saw that.

Noticing that, Sonia sneered deep down. Can’t she do it properly if she’s determined to follow me?

When Sonia stopped, Rina did the same immediately. It was so obvious to everyone that Sonia was being followed!

Yet, Sonia did not expose Rina’s act. She simply pursed her lips and resumed her walk.

Within minutes, she arrived at her private room and went straight away.

Rina saw Sonia entering it. Then, she took a look at the Gray Family’s private room, which was opposite Sonia’s

room, before exhaling a breath of relief.

Luckily Dad and Mom did not come out from the room, she thought.

She wouldn’t have to worry as long as her parents did not bump into Sonia here today.

Rina let out a light breath while thinking, and her tense expression finally relaxed. She then averted her gaze and

proceeded to the Gray Family’s room.

However, even though her parents did not leave the room and did not meet Sonia, they were all in the same

restaurant. They could still run into each other later.

To prevent such a situation from happening, Rina now had to persuade her parents to leave this place. She then

opened the door by twisting her hand on the door handle.

Just when Rina was entering the room her parents were at, Sonia’s room door opened, although not in its entirety.

Sonia merely opened a small gap. And she was watching Rina enter the room opposite hers from behind the door.

She was already intrigued by Rina’s earlier attempt to chase her out, and she was even more curious now after

Rina trailed behind her the entire way.

Furthermore, Sonia suspected that the restaurant had something that Rina did not want her to see, which was why

she tried to chase her out or even followed behind her in case she discovered what Rina was trying to keep from

her.

Hence, she went along with Rina’s plan. After entering the room, Sonia intentionally opened a small gap to observe

Rina’s subsequent actions. From that, she was pretty certain that things were as she had suspected, as she saw

Rina heaving a sigh of relief after she entered her room.

Rina did this obviously because Sonia did not encounter the thing that would make Rina anxious. Then, she noticed

Rina looking at the private room opposite hers before her expression slightly changed.

Sonia couldn’t explain the change, but she had an intuitive feeling that the things Rina wanted to keep hidden from

her were in that room.

So, what was in that room?

Sonia lowered her eyes, something flashing through her gaze.

At this moment, the man who had been standing behind her since who-knows-when suddenly lowered his head and

asked, while looking at her, “What happened? What are you looking at?”

When Sonia heard his voice, she retracted her gaze and shut the room door before turning around and saying,

“Rina Gray.”

“Rina Gray?” When Toby heard this name, his expression changed slightly. His gaze flickered with a different

expression too.

However, Sonia did not notice his reactions as all her mind was on the room that Rina entered. “Yes, it’s her,” she

replied, after letting out a low hum.

“Where did you see her?” he continued asking, his gaze darkening.

She responded directly and without hesitation, “The restroom. When I walked in, I noticed she was inside.”

“Did she hurt you in any way?” Toby immediately grabbed her hands and began to examine them.

Seeing his anxious demeanor, Sonia laughed as she shook her head. “She did not. I am not someone who will be

easily bullied, you know. However, she was behaving strangely.”

“What do you mean?” Toby was relieved that Sonia had not been bullied, but when she told him that Rina was

acting strangely, he frowned.

She did not respond right away. Instead, she took his hand in hers and led him to the table. The table was already

filled with delectable food that the waiter had served before Sonia returned.

After Toby sat down, Sonia took her seat as well. “When I bumped into Rina in the washroom, she looked anxious

and it was as if she was afraid of me,” she said after taking a sip of water.

“Anxious? Afraid of you?” Hearing that, Toby furrowed his brows even more. He did not understand what Rina was

feeling anxious about.

“Yes. I am certain that I did not sense it wrongly. There was also some guilt and jealousy mixed in with her anxious

and fearful feelings! I’m not sure why she was feeling that way, so I tried to probe, but I got nothing. Then…”

Sonia abruptly stopped and grudgingly raised her head and looked at him.

“Why are you looking at me like this?” he raised his brows and asked.

Her gaze now was making him fearful as well. She then rolled her eyes and retracted her gaze before continuing,

“Well, there are only a few things for women to be jealous of. It is either looks, figure, family background, or men.”

With each of her words, Sonia tapped her fingers one by one. “Though the Gray Family is in jeopardy now, they are

still wealthier than my Paradigm Co., so she won’t be jealous of my family background. That’s the same in terms of

looks and body figure. Despite being slightly inferior to me, she is still attractive after applying makeup, and there is

no reason for her to be jealous of me in these two areas as well. With this, the only factor remaining is men.”

Sonia looked at Toby, who was sitting beside her, after she finished her words.

Pursing his lips, he responded, “So, you think that Rina is attracted to me?”

“Yes,” Sonia replied, her chin raised.

Toby merely found it amusing. “That’s impossible. I know I am captivating, but not to the point where every woman

will like me. In addition, I know who Rina truly adores.”

He stroked her hair while saying that.

Sonia was taken aback to hear that. “The man that Rina truly loves?” she asked, her eyes wide.

“Yes.”

“Who’s that?”

“Zane,” he said slowly.

Sonia was in the midst of drinking water. The moment she heard Zane’s name coming out of Toby’s mouth, she

couldn’t stop herself from choking and spitting out all the water in her mouth.

Toby had not anticipated such a strong reaction from her. He regained his senses quickly after being stunned for a

while and gently patted her back to soothe her. Then, he handed a tissue to her. “Here you go.”

That came at the perfect time. Sonia grabbed the tissue and wiped the water on her lips before staring in disbelief

at the man in front of her. “Is that true? Rina has feelings for Zane?!”

“It’s true.” Toby nodded with his gaze solemn.

Seeing that, she had no other options but to believe him, although she was still stunned. “How is this even possible?

You said she has feelings for Zane? Since when?”

He shook his head in response. “I have no idea.”

Toby truly had no knowledge on this.

Biting her lips, Sonia continued her probing, “How did you know she likes Zane, then?”
