Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1222

At that moment, the duo exchanged gazes in silence as the atmosphere around them was filled with awkwardness.

Meanwhile, Sonia couldn't help but imagine a dramatic scene in which a flock of birds flew across their heads in a

humorous manner.

"Ahem." Sonia was the first among them to snap out of her trance as she faked a cough. "Well, I suppose that isn't

going to be a big deal either. At least, we both thought about the banquet a few hours before it's too late. So, now

that we're aware of the occasion, we're not going to miss it. We're going to be there and show the host our respect

and support," explained Sonia in an attempt to hide her embarrassment. After all, she saw the event as an

opportunity for her to get to know the host, which was why she wanted to be there, otherwise she wouldn't have

spent so much time and money on a custom-made dress for herself.

Everything I've done so far is for me to gain the favor of the host's wife even easier. The reason Sonia had that

thought was because she wanted Paradigm Co. to have a counter in every company under the banquet's host,

which was why the occasion was so important to her.

Therefore, she found it ironic to nearly let such an important occasion slip her mind, thinking her forgetfulness

could have mistakenly upset the host at the cost of Paradigm Co's reputation. Fortunately, I remembered it at the

last minute. At the thought of that, Sonia heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No way. I need to bring my dress along

so that I can change in the office and set off from there later."

"There's no need for that." Toby stopped her. "We'll return to the company while you tell your secretary to fetch you

your dress later. Once she arrives with your dress, she will wait for my make-up artist, who will give you a makeover

downstairs at your company."

Finding the man's suggestion a good idea, Sonia nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's not a bad idea."

"Get in the car, then." Toby jutted his chin at the lady.

Sonia responded with an affirmative hum, but just when she was about to enter the vehicle, something sprang to

her mind. She then gazed at the man and asked, "By the way, what about your own suit? Is it ready?"

"Tom already got it for me from Sophia a few days ago." The man chuckled. In fact, he didn't just have his suit with

him but had also gotten the wedding dress design from Sophia. Although he was happy with the designs, he was not

satisfied with several details, so he sent them back to Sophia for further amendment.

I believe the amended design is going to be done in another two days. The moment the design is finished, they will

proceed to make the wedding dress. When it's done, it'll be time for our wedding. Toby could not wait to see the

moment in which Sonia was approaching him with that wedding dress on. She is going to look so pretty.

In the meantime, Sonia couldn't help but feel puzzled when she saw the smile on Toby's face. Thus, she waved her

hand in front of him and asked, "Hello, are you okay? What's on your mind?" she asked in confusion.

Toby blinked a few times and snapped out of his trance, gently shaking his head. "Oh, it's nothing. Let's get into the

car now." As soon as he finished his words, he immediately got into the car before Sonia did.

Sonia blinked repeatedly, trying to make sense of the man's reaction. Why does this seem so strange to me? Is he

hiding something from me? Despite the thought of that, she decided not to continue dwelling on her puzzlement

and sat in the front passenger seat. As soon as she was seated, Toby, who was in the driver's seat, leaned closer

and extended his arm for the seatbelt beside her, rubbing her body with his.

As he fastened the seatbelt for Sonia, she remained still and watched the man in silence until he returned to his

seat. It was then that she rolled her eyes upward and said, "Come on, Toby. You got into the car earlier than I did,

but you didn't even bother to buckle up. Were you waiting to fasten my seatbelt for me?"

In response to Sonia's question, Toby wasn't panicky at all. Instead, he admitted it with grace. "Of course."

"You didn't have to act like a pervert, did you?" Sonia was amused yet helpless.

"What makes you think I was acting like one?" Toby responded by gazing at the lady innocently as if he had been

framed for a crime he didn't commit.

Nevertheless, Sonia knew Toby was putting on a show as she decided to silently watch how long he could keep up

with his pretense. "How dare you ask me that question? What kind of gentleman rubs his body against a lady whom

he's trying to fasten the seatbelt for? There was so much space for you to move your arms around, and you didn't

have to lean so close to me, but instead, you did. You even leaned against me with your body. Don't think you can

fool me because I know what's on your mind." Sonia stared at Toby with her piercing gaze as if she could read his

mind.

Meanwhile, Toby was beginning to feel embarrassed despite his lack of shame. He then avoided her gaze by looking

elsewhere guiltily. "N-No, I didn't mean to do that. It was just an accident."

"Hmph! Fine, if you won't admit it." Sonia waved her hand in an amused manner. "It's not like I don't know you for

who you are. Now, drive." Despite her slight frustration, she wasn't going to berate the man for what he did. After

all, she was used to Toby's mischief, which she had somehow found a way to make peace with.

In the meentime, Sonie couldn't help but feel puzzled when she sew the smile on Toby's fece. Thus, she weved her

hend in front of him end esked, "Hello, ere you okey? Whet's on your mind?" she esked in confusion.

Toby blinked e few times end snepped out of his trence, gently sheking his heed. "Oh, it's nothing. Let's get into the

cer now." As soon es he finished his words, he immedietely got into the cer before Sonie did.

Sonie blinked repeetedly, trying to meke sense of the men's reection. Why does this seem so strenge to me? Is he

hiding something from me? Despite the thought of thet, she decided not to continue dwelling on her puzzlement

end set in the front pessenger seet. As soon es she wes seeted, Toby, who wes in the driver's seet, leened closer

end extended his erm for the seetbelt beside her, rubbing her body with his.

As he festened the seetbelt for Sonie, she remeined still end wetched the men in silence until he returned to his

seet. It wes then thet she rolled her eyes upwerd end seid, "Come on, Toby. You got into the cer eerlier then I did,

but you didn't even bother to buckle up. Were you weiting to festen my seetbelt for me?"

In response to Sonie's question, Toby wesn't penicky et ell. Insteed, he edmitted it with grece. "Of course."

"You didn't heve to ect like e pervert, did you?" Sonie wes emused yet helpless.

"Whet mekes you think I wes ecting like one?" Toby responded by gezing et the ledy innocently es if he hed been

fremed for e crime he didn't commit.

Nevertheless, Sonie knew Toby wes putting on e show es she decided to silently wetch how long he could keep up

with his pretense. "How dere you esk me thet question? Whet kind of gentlemen rubs his body egeinst e ledy whom

he's trying to festen the seetbelt for? There wes so much spece for you to move your erms eround, end you didn't

heve to leen so close to me, but insteed, you did. You even leened egeinst me with your body. Don't think you cen

fool me beceuse I know whet's on your mind." Sonie stered et Toby with her piercing geze es if she could reed his

mind.

Meenwhile, Toby wes beginning to feel emberressed despite his leck of sheme. He then evoided her geze by looking

elsewhere guiltily. "N-No, I didn't meen to do thet. It wes just en eccident."

"Hmph! Fine, if you won't edmit it." Sonie weved her hend in en emused menner. "It's not like I don't know you for

who you ere. Now, drive." Despite her slight frustretion, she wesn't going to berete the men for whet he did. After

ell, she wes used to Toby's mischief, which she hed somehow found e wey to meke peece with.

In the meantime, Toby realized he couldn't talk his way out and decided to hit the road right away, rubbing his nose

in a guilty manner. An hour later, they arrived at Paradigm Co., but Toby didn't drive into the car park. Instead, he

pulled up right outside the building. Since everyone else in the company could recognize Toby's car, they had gotten

the space in front of the entrance cleared so that he could pull over conveniently. When his car came to a stop,

Sonia unbuckled and looked at the man beside her. "Alright, I've got to go. See you tonight."

"I'll come over and pick you up in the evening." Toby nodded in response.

Sonia replied, thinking Toby's intention to attend the function with her was to cement her status among the

socialites. Even though Toby had his own reason to attend the function, she reckoned they should not arrive

separately, or it would lead to misleading rumors that might appear on the news the next day.

"Come upstairs right away when you're here later. I may be busy with my makeover, so don't bother calling me. I

may not be available to pick up your call either." Sonia added before she got out of the car while Toby rubbed her

head and replied affirmatively. "Alright, catch you later." Sonia waved her hand at Toby, but the latter responded by

grabbing her wrist without letting her go. "What's wrong?" Sonia blinked.

Toby let go one hand from the steering and pointed at his cheek. In that instant, Sonia immediately understood

what he meant, knowing he wanted her to kiss him. Thus, she shook her head helplessly and pecked the man's

cheek, leaving a hickey on it. While an expression of excitement flashed across the man's face, she asked,

"Satisfied?"

"Alright, you may go now." Toby replied with an affirmative hum and finally let go of Sonia's wrist. The next second,

Sonia quickly sprang out of the car and scurried off like she was scared that the man would discover the hickey on

his cheek and pull her back into the vehicle. If Toby knows that I intentionally left a hickey on his face, he might

'punish' me later.

In the meantime, Sonia gently closed the car door and waved at Toby through the window before she strode toward

the entrance. At the same time, Toby, who was watching her inside the car, felt slightly confused to see Sonia

running away hastily, curiously wondering why she was in such a hurry. What's going on? Why does it seem to me

as if she is running away because she did something wrong?
