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

Chapter 838 Exceptionally Handsome

Sonia pulled her hand away before sitting down on the couch. “You’re doing it for the company. You’re not cheating

on me, so you don’t have to feel sorry for anything. It’s not wrong for you to be too busy to spend time with me

once in a while—I’m not the sort of woman who insists on being with you all the time, anyway. I have a company to

run myself, and I, too, don’t have time to be with you when I’m busy. Do you think I should feel guilty for that?” she

asked.

“No.” Toby shook his head.

“Exactly.” Sonia patted the seat beside her to get Toby to sit down. “As long as you’re not cheating, and as long as

you still have feelings for me, you don’t have to feel sorry toward me at all. We’re grown-ups, and both our career

and our relationship matter a lot to us. Sometimes, it’s inevitable for someone to neglect the other party due to our

work—that doesn’t mean that we’re doing anything wrong. So, you don’t have to think that you owe me anything

just because you’re too busy to spend time with me.”

Toby gazed at the woman before his eyes. He knew that she uttered all those words so that he wouldn’t overthink

the situation. “Okay. I won’t say that in the future.” He smiled as a surge of warmth filled his chest.

“Let’s eat.” Sonia beamed and leaned forward to look at the lunchbox that he had brought. “What did you bring?”

Toby placed the lunchbox on the coffee table before opening it slowly. “While I was on the way back, I passed by a

seafood restaurant that you spoke of in the past. I recall you saying that the restaurant was good, so I brought

some of their dishes over,” he explained.

A look of joy and surprise formed on Sonia’s face upon hearing the man’s words. “Really? That’s great. I love

seafood, and I miss the feeling of eating spicy seafood. Thank you, Toby.”

The smile on his face broadened. “Well, why don’t you take a look at the dishes to see if you like them?” He placed

the few dishes out on the table.

Sonia only took one glance to realize that Toby had selected all of the signature dishes in that restaurant. She lifted

her cutleries while smiling and nodding. “I love it. I love all types of seafood.”

“That’s great. Try this. How does it taste?” Toby gave her some steamed fish as he spoke. “I never tried these

dishes before, so I don’t know how good they are. It sure looks good.”

“How bad could the dishes taste? You were the one who bought them, after all.” Sonia smiled before eating a

mouthful of the fish that Toby had just placed in her bowl. The burning, spicy sensation filled her mouth, and her

face turned as red as a tomato. Tears began to form in her eyes.

It was clear that the steamed fish was extremely spicy. Sonia had to open her mouth before fanning herself with

her hand. “It’s so spicy!” she cried. Toby frowned when she saw how spicy the fish was for her. He quickly lowered

his cutlery before handing her a glass of water. “Drink some water.”

She took the glass over before throwing her head back and pouring half of its contents into her mouth. The water

washed off the spiciness, and she let out a long sigh before putting the glass down. Her eyes were still watery as

she gazed at the worried man before giving him an embarrassed smile. “It’s been a while since I tasted something

this spicy, so I couldn’t tolerate the spiciness of it.”

Toby pressed his lips together when he saw that both her eyes and cheeks were red as a result of the spicy food.

“You should stop eating it if it’s too spicy. I’ll get my men to buy something blander. Your stomach won’t be able to

handle such spiciness,” he uttered.

“It’s fine!” Sonia immediately reached her hands out to stop the man from taking the food away. “I haven’t had

spicy food in a while—that’s the only reason I couldn’t tolerate it. I’ll get used to it after a few mouthfuls, so you

don’t have to order any extra food. These dishes are great. They may be spicy, but they’re also really tasty!”

“I’m worried that your tummy will get upset later.” Toby frowned. He regretted his decision to purchase such spicy

food. Even though he enjoyed pampering his wife, he should have also taken her health into account. But Sonia

shook her head. “It’s fine. I’ve eaten things that were spicier than this, and I was fine back then. Furthermore, I’m a

grown woman. Don’t you think I know what I can and cannot eat?” Ultimately, Sonia didn’t want Toby to keep the

dishes away—she wanted to eat them.

When Toby looked into her eyes and finally understood what she meant, he sighed. “Fine. I won’t keep them away.

But you have to promise me one thing—if your tummy doesn’t feel well, then—”

“You can punish me however you want to,” she interrupted him.

He narrowed his eyes. “Oh? Are you sure I can use any punishment?” There was a sly look in his eyes. Sonia

immediately noticed the look, and she felt her heart racing as she realized that she had spoken a little too quickly.

Aren’t I being a little too nice if I allow him to punish me however he wants to? If he wants to do some nasty stuff

with me, I won’t be able to say no. Did I just dig my own grave?

The corner of Sonia’s mouth twitched as she thought of ways to get herself out of this situation. She had to take her

words back. However, when Toby saw the confused look on her face, he immediately understood what she was

thinking about. He spoke up before she could say anything. “Fine. Since you say that I can punish you however I

want to, then I guess it’s decided. Go ahead and finish your food. I won’t keep them away.”

Sonia widened her eyes. “No. I didn’t say—I…”

“Go on.” Toby beamed as he interrupted her and placed more food into her bowl. Although the food still had chili in

it, it didn’t look as spicy as the steamed fish. Sonia gazed at the food in her bowl before gazing at the man.

The corner of her mouth twitched a little. She could tell that the man was doing this on purpose. He knew that she

was about to go against her own word, so he instantly interrupted her so that she couldn’t take her words back.

How was he going to punish her if she took her words back?

Hmph. He’s such a manipulative man. Sonia stuck her lips out into an angry pout as she stuffed some food into her

mouth before munching on it grumpily. She treated her food as if it was Toby himself. Toby didn’t seem mad even

as he watched her releasing all of her anger toward him onto her food. He merely chuckled before he began to eat

as well.

At first, he didn’t find any of the food spicy. However, after he tried some of the fish, his face and eyes turned

extremely red. A thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead, and he felt oddly warm in the temperature-regulated

room. He felt so hot that he couldn’t seem to calm himself down.

He hastily lowered his cutlery before loosening his necktie and unbuttoning the buttons on his shirt. He exposed his

chest to the air outside in order to cool himself down a little. Right after that, he took some of Sonia’s water that

she hadn’t finished earlier. He tilted his head back and finished all of it. The water was cold, and it didn’t just cool his

lips from the spiciness—it also served to cool the overall heat he felt in his body.

Toby heaved a sigh once he felt a little more relaxed. He leaned against the couch and rubbed his forehead with

one hand while covering his eyes with the other. His red lips, his bare chest, and the strands of hair that were stuck

to his forehead as a result of his sweat… All of this made him seem like a handsome vampire from the middle ages.

He was too mesmerizing of a sight for one to look away.

Sonia found herself seduced by him at that moment. She didn’t blink a single time as she looked at him, and she

even unconsciously gulped while checking him out. It wasn’t her fault that she was so uncontrollably attracted to

the man—it was all because the man before her eyes was simply too gorgeous for one not to be mesmerized.

Furthermore, humans were creatures who were naturally attracted to pretty things, and Sonia was no different. So,

it wasn’t her fault that she was attracted to Toby. Whose fault was it that he was so handsome?
