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

Zane couldn’t stop himself. He lifted his hand to his nose and took a sniff to inhale the faint, pleasant

scent that lingered on his palm. Immediately, he knew that it was the smell of Sonia’s perfume that had

remained after they shook hands. The perfume smelled fresh and elegant, just like the aura that Sonia

gave off. He couldn’t help but want to inhale the scent for a while longer, and that was precisely what

he did—he lowered his head a little to smell the perfume on his hand. While doing so, he pictured

Sonia in his arms, with his head pressed against the space around her neck.

He could imagine the whole scene where he’d be able to smell the perfume on her body. Zane felt the

tips of his ears turning red as his heart rate began to increase. At that very moment, his body jolted in

response to the sudden ding of the elevator. Charles walked out from inside with a thermos in his hand.

He nearly bumped into the person before him as he hadn’t expected anyone to be standing outside the

elevator. Fortunately, Charles managed to stop just in time to avoid knocking into Zane. “Why are you

here?” Charles asked puzzledly when he saw that the person in front of him was Zane

“What are you doing here?” Zane’s expression darkened as the mesmerizing scene in his head had

been disrupted. He looked even grimmer when he recalled Charles and Sonia’s relationship. Therefore,

Zane only scoffed before he strode into the elevator without replying to Charles’s question. Charles

cocked his head sideways as a series of question marks popped up in his head. “What’s going on?” I didn’t insult Zane in any way, did I? Why would that brat, Zane, stare at me like I was his enemy?

“Is he crazy?!” Charles rolled his eyes as he couldn’t comprehend the situation. After a little more

grumbling, he headed directly toward Sonia’s office. “Hey, baby.” Charles pushed the door to enter the

room. Sonia had been going through some documents, but she raised her head when she heard his

voice. “What are you doing here? Are you done with your work at the office?” she asked. It was rare for

Charles to visit the office ever since Paradigm Co. was able to manage on its own. He had his own

company to handle, after all. “There’s nothing much going on today.

I’m here to send you food. My mom made some braised ribs, and she got me to send some over as

she knows that you like it a lot.” Charles held up the thermos in his hands. Sonia’s eyes lit up

immediately. “Braised ribs! I haven’t had that in a long while. Do help me thank your mom!” “Hurry up

and try it. It’s going to turn cold soon.” Charles placed the thermos on her table before twisting the top

open. The strong scent of meat lingered in the air the moment he opened the top. Just moments after

that, the smile on Sonia’s face stiffened as her face turned visibly pale after inhaling the smell.

Then, she hastily clamped a hand over her mouth before she pushed her chair back and ran off to the

toilet. “What’s going on?” Charles was utterly stunned by her sudden actions, and he only came to his

senses when he heard the sound of her vomiting in the toilet. He immediately lowered the bowl and

cutleries in his hand to help her out in the toilet. By the time he got there, Sonia had her hands pressed

against the sink for support. She lowered her body to puke, and she looked weak and frail after

throwing all of her food up. “What’s the matter, darling?”

Charles frowned as he stared at her worriedly. Sonia caught her breath and shut her eyes for a while

before she leaned her body against the wall beside the sink. “I’m fine,” she replied weakly. “How could

you say that you’re fine? You’ve puked so much that you look like you’re about to faint. Look at how

pale you are! No, I have to call for the doctor to come.” Charles took his phone out to make a call as he

spoke. She immediately opened her eyes and reached forward to push his arm down. “There’s no need

for that, Charles. I’m not sick.” “You’re not?” He gazed at her confusedly

“Then…” She let out a sigh. “I guess I shouldn’t hide this from you any longer. You’ll find out about it

sooner or later anyway. I’m pregnant.” “Ah, you’re pregnant. I thought…” Charles’s voice faded off as

he realized what was wrong with his sentence. “Wait, you’re pregnant?!” The pitch of his voice

increased as he widened his eyes to stare at her. “Mm hmm.” She nodded. He was completely

dumbfounded. After a long while, he finally managed a croak. “How long?” “Nearly two months,” she

replied with her gaze fixed on the ground. Two months…

Isn’t that about the time when she had a divorce with Toby? Charles swallowed a mouthful of saliva

before he spoke in a rather bitter tone. “It’s Toby’s, isn’t it?” “Let’s talk outside.” Sonia didn’t answer his

question. After that, he nodded and helped her out to the couch for her to rest. He poured her a glass

of water after helping her to get comfortable on the couch. “Have some water. You just puked earlier, so

your stomach must be feeling really terrible. You’ll feel better after drinking some water.” “Thank you.”

Sonia smiled and took the glass over. She only answered his question after taking a sip of water.

“The baby isn’t Toby’s.” Now that she thought of it, she found it hilarious how Toby hadn’t laid hands on

her once in the six years that they were married. He didn’t love her, and he even held himself back to

maintain chastity for Tina. How can I possibly be pregnant with Toby’s child? “What?” The look of

confusion returned to Charles’s face. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before he finally got

his question out. “If it isn’t Toby’s, then…

whose child is it?” He would’ve felt hurt if the baby was Toby’s, but at least he would have been able to

accept it. Sonia and Toby had been married in the past, so it was no surprise if she was pregnant with

his child. However, she was now claiming that the child wasn’t Toby’s. That made him uneasy; he was

furious at the man who had made her pregnant. “I don’t know who the father is; I don’t even know his

name or how he looks.” Sonia pressed her hand against her stomach as she gave Charles a bitter

smile. “I was completely dazed after the incident, and I was so terrified.

All I could do was glance at the person once before I left. I didn’t even think of asking for his name.”

She had attempted to ask for the man’s name when she got his contact details, but the man hadn’t

shown any intention of complying with her requests. That explained why she had no clue about the

person’s real identity. Charles clutched onto her hand as he questioned her anxiously, “Did you get

assaulted by someone else, baby?” He couldn’t think of any other probable explanation since she didn’t

even know the child’s father. However, Sonia simply shook her head in denial.

“I wasn’t assaulted. I was drunk, and I did it with some guy while I was out of it. This happened on the

night of your birthday.” Charles recalled what had happened back then. “So, the marks that I saw on

your neck the next day… Those weren’t what you claimed them to be…” “I’m sorry that I lied to you,

Charles,” she uttered apologetically. She thought that whatever happened that night would remain

hidden from everyone else as long as she never spoke about it, but she hadn’t expected herself to get

pregnant. Naturally, she would no longer be able to keep the incident a secret.

Charles clenched his fists before he slammed his hand against the coffee table, and that made Sonia

jump in surprise. “What is it, Charles?” “I’m mad. I’m mad at myself for not being there with you when it

happened. If I were there, you wouldn’t have…” Charles lowered his head as he blamed himself. His

voice broke as tears welled up in his eyes. Sonia quickly took his hand into hers to check if he had

injured anything. Once she was sure that he wasn’t hurt, she let out a sigh of relief. “Alright. It’s not

your fault. I simply drank too much that night. That was why this incident occurred.”

“Did you try to look for that man after that night, darling? What if that guy’s presence wasn’t just an

accident?” Charles asked. Tina and the rest of them were also in the club during the night of his

birthday party, so Charles was worried that Tina might have been the one who arranged for the man to

show up that night. Sonia felt a shudder running down her spine before she shook her head. “I got

Zane to look it up. There doesn’t seem to be any issues with the guy. In fact, the guy is Zane’s friend. I

have his contact. Purchasing Mr. Williams’s Rentoor Inc.

and putting Toby’s land to use—all of that was this guy’s idea.” “Oh?” Charles raised an eyebrow in

surprise. “So, that’s the guy who did this.” “Mm hmm. Everything that happened that night was really

just an accident,” Sonia said. “Hmph. Even though it was an accident, it’s still a fact that he had

assaulted you. I need to have a talk with Zane to ask him who this man is. I need to hunt this man

down and teach him a lesson.” Charles stormed out of the door before Sonia could stop him from

leaving.
