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

Chapter 854 ZToby’s Acting

Sonia squirmed in embarrassment as she covered her burning face—an action that elicited a broader smile on

Toby’s face.

Though he wasn’t sure what was on her mind, he could tell she was pleased with his body and it flattered his vanity.

“Enough of this. Stay here, and I’ll make something for you in the kitchen,” said Toby as he raised his head before

he slightly tapped her on his head.

Sonia snapped out of the embarrassment at his light tap. Then, she cleared her throat and looked at him. “Do you

know how to make wraps with ham and cheese?”

She had bought the wraps a long time ago. Sometimes when she returned home dog-tired and there was no one

else, she would make a wrap instead of a cumbersome meal for dinner. Then, she would slump on the couch as she

watched the television while enjoying the wrap and living the time of her life.

However, since they reconciled, it was either Toby fixing their dinner or they had it delivered from the hotel. It had

been a while since she entered the kitchen.

Thus, the wraps were left untouched in the fridge all the while. Right now, Toby claimed he was going to make her

wraps, but she was dubious whether he knew how to make it or not.

Even though he had the culinary skills, wraps were not an orthodox meal but a snack. Sonia bet he had not learned

how to make it before. As an afterthought, she suggested, “If you don’t know how to, I’ll make it. You stay.” Then,

she was about to rise to her feet, only to be thwarted by Toby.

“Just leave it to me.” He placed his hands on her shoulders and pressed her back on the couch. He gazed at her

with a gentle smile. “I’ll search up the recipe on the Internet. Trust me. There won’t be any problem.”

It usually took a glance at it for Toby to get the hang of something; thereby, he was confident with his skills.

Sonia smiled and sat on the couch with her mind at ease as she saw his confident look. “Fine. Since you already

said that, all I can do is trust you, isn’t it?”

He hummed as he nodded. “It’ll only take a short while.”

“Alright.” She lifted her head and smiled at him.

He grabbed the apron that was hanging by the wall before entering the kitchen while she smiled in the direction he

went, after which she turned to fix her gaze on the television screen.

The screen was all black as she did not turn on the television. Through the screen, she saw her reflection, and

despite the smile on her face, her brows were slightly creased in concern.

Even though Toby did not care about the gown’s condition because he was well-off, that wasn’t the case for her

because she was penniless.

That gown ate into almost all of her savings. If it was really ruined, she would be devastated.

Sonia’s brows furrowed as she sighed in frustration. Next, she averted her gaze and noticed an exquisite box on the

table. She was puzzled. Since when was there a box on the table?

Almost immediately after that, she surmised that it was Toby who had brought it along as she recalled him giving a

call in the afternoon. Perhaps he returned to Fuller Residence to get this?

In spite of her curiosity to know what was inside the box, Sonia had no means to open it.

They were a couple, but she nevertheless needed to respect his privacy. She would never check his stuff, including

his phone, without his permission.

This was her principle as well as her trust in him. Since they had gotten together again, she should have faith in

him. Sonia was willing to believe that he would never do anything that would hurt her.

After all, there were no secrets that time couldn’t reveal. Should he wrong her, she would find out about it

eventually.

Therefore, there was no need for Toby to prove his faith and loyalty by her checking his personal stuff.

Toby possessed the same notion as well. Akin to her, he gladly devoted himself without any reservation by

respecting and believing in her. As a result, both of them were mature and confident in their relationship matters.

At the thought of it, Sonia looked away from the box before grabbing the cup of water in front of her to take a sip.

Soon, a pleasant fragrance permeated the air from the kitchen. As soon as she caught the whiff of it, she could

recognize that it was from the wraps. The smell was no less different from her wraps. Not bad. He’s a beginner, yet

he managed to make it almost the same as a veteran like me. He’s stunningly talented.

Sonia rose from the couch and headed for the kitchen after putting down her cup. Once she reached the door, the

aroma became stronger with the faint smell of eggs.

She continued her steps farther into the kitchen until she reached behind the man, who was busy at the cooktop.

With his towering height, his back was inherently robust enough to cover her whole body. Her mind was put to ease

while she looked at his back.

As she tilted her body to take a peek from his back, she saw what was in the frying pan. Her eyes shone when she

saw Toby adding a layer of eggs to the wrap. “It smells delicious.”

He had noticed her advent before that, despite the light steps she took, so she didn’t scare him the slightest.

That was why he wasn’t the slightest surprised at her voice suddenly ringing out in the kitchen. Instead, his hands

moved smoothly and steadily as he answered her, “I guess I didn’t let you down with my skills, did I?”

Sonia was baffled and her eyes widened in response. “You knew I was here?”

Toby turned his head slightly and gave her an ambiguous smile. It was evident that he knew all along.

She blinked her eyes in doubt. “But… But how? I tiptoed all the way here just to scare you, yet you didn’t budge at

all. You even found out about it before I could scare you.”

Her initial intention was to scare him as his reaction would have been fun to watch. However, she failed miserably.

Toby remained silent for a few seconds when his gaze landed on her disappointed pouting face before turning off

the fire and switching to a terrified expression. “Gosh, how did you sneak in?!”

It was probably because he had acted before in his entire life, which was why it pained Sonia to watch his awful

acting. Besides, it was rare to have his deadpan face to be rife with such emotions in reality. No one would ever

believe that Toby Fuller, the apathetic man, could have that kind of expression.

In the face of his acting, Sonia was stunned momentarily before bursting into a peal of hearty laughter as she

covered her stomach. “Toby, what are you doing?”

She laughed so hard that she was shedding tears. “You looked like a fool.”

Toby pursed his lips while staring at her. “That’s to make you happy. Didn’t you say you were trying to scare me?

You looked disappointed, so I faked it just to make you smile.”

He was from a prestigious family. So, he was always the person held in high regard by others regardless of their

age.

Thus, he didn’t need to feign or butter up to someone to achieve his goals like others in his circle did.

In other words, this could be considered as his first acting experience, and he obviously knew how it would turn out

—hilarious and foolish.

Even so, Toby was willing to act silly for her happiness. After all, the only people that could make him let go of his

pride and do such things weren’t that many. It was only Sonia and his grandma.

Meanwhile, warmth crept into Sonia’s heart in that he was behaving silly just for her sake. She stretched out her

arm to hug the man’s waist from behind. “Toby, thank you. I was just fooling around, actually. You didn’t have to do

that.”

“As long as you’re happy.” He turned around and hugged her before kissing her on her head.
