Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 918 He Came With the Wind

Mary stood still and waved Toby goodbye as she watched him drive away, only going back inside after the car could no longer be seen. Inside the car, Toby had been glancing toward the rear view mirror until the old manor was completely out of his sight before rolling the window up.

Following that, he grabbed his phone, searched for Sonia’s contact, and called her. Meanwhile, Sonia had been waiting for Toby to show up at Paradigm Co.

However, he was still nowhere to be found when there was only half an hour left until seven, and it got her worrying if he was only still talking to Old Mrs. Fuller or if something had happened on his way there.

Just as she was about to call and check on him after a few seconds of hesitation, her phone, which she had left on her desk, suddenly rang.

At that, she turned around to find it was Toby calling, leading her worries to fade away as she answered it with a smile. “Hello?”

“Sorry for keeping you waiting. My chat with Grandma went on longer than expected,” he apologized immediately.

“Don’t worry about it,” she said, shaking her head. “Grandma’s more important. Besides, there’s still time. Have you finished chatting with her?”

“Yeah.” Toby nodded. “I’ve just left her place. I’ll reach in about ten to twenty minutes.”

“Ten to twenty?” Sonia chuckled with a quirked brow, amused. “You’re joking. The old manor is up on the hill, miles away from the city. You’ve just left, and it’d take at least half an hour to get here by car. No way will you be able to get here less than that. If you think it’ll be too late by the time you get here, I can tell Mrs. Lane we’ll be late. Don’t speed just because you want to get here in time. It’s perilous.”

He wouldn’t be able to reach in less than twenty minutes even if he sped, but he would still be able to show up sooner.

Hence, she worried he would actually do it. What if he got into an accident?

Speeding was one of the leading causes of car accidents!

Toby smiled and chuckled under his breath upon hearing her worry and disapproval. “Relax. I won’t speed. I have a plan. I mean it when I said I’ll be there in ten to twenty minutes. You wanna bet?”

“What do you have in mind?” Sonia couldn’t think of any other way he could get here so quickly.

However, Toby wouldn’t say anything as he continued acting all mysterious. “You’ll find out soon. Alright, I’m hanging up now. See you in a few.”
