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

Chapter 977

This man didn't quit smoking after all, and he was probably smoking quite often.

However, he made sure she never saw him smoking, so she thought he had quit.

Now, she knew that she was fooled through and through.

As Toby looked at the woman's small infuriated face, he guiltily rubbed his nose.

He had never expected that smoking a single cigarette would cause such dissatisfaction in the woman.

Now, he also regretted smoking that cigarette a little.

"Sorry, I won't smoke in the future. I'll quit, so don't get angry, all right?" Toby held Sonia's hand as he said in all sincerity.

Sonia eyed him sideways. "Really?"

"Really." Toby raised three fingers. "I swear."

His expression was serious.

Sonia pursed her red lips. "What use is swearing? Do all promises come true as soon as you swear?"

Of course not!

Toby replied silently in his heart as he realized swearing probably wasn't the best way, nor could it convince anyone. After falling silent for a bit, he looked at her and asked, "Then tell me, what should I do so that you'll believe me?"

"Who knows?" Sonia said indifferently, "Even if I believe you now, who would know if you'd smoke when I'm not looking? You said you won't smoke, but I don't know if you mean it."

She was right.

Toby was silent again.

Then, he reached into his pocket and fished out the cigarettes and the expensive lighter, placing them on the table in front of Sonia.

Sonia looked at the cigarettes on the table, then back at the man beside her. "What do you mean by this?"

"You can do whatever you please with them," Toby said sincerely.

Then, he took her hands and placed them in his palms. "I mean everything I say. I really won't smoke in the future, and I will definitely keep my promise. I won't do anything that makes you sad, so please, give me another chance, okay?"


As he spoke, he was especially serious.

He was so serious that Sonia didn't have the heart to say no.

Sonia gave a wry smile, then sighed in the end. "Fine. Seeing how sincere you are, if I don't believe you and give you another chance, I might look like the villain here."

"Impossible." Toby frowned. "To me, you're always the kind fairy in my heart."

Sonia chuckled at that. "A fairy? You're crafty with words, aren't you?"

Toby smiled. "Only for you."

Sonia glared at him.

She believed those words all right.

"Fine. Since you said you'll quit smoking, I'll hold onto these for you." Sonia reached out and gathered the cigarettes and lighter toward her, then put them in her bag.

When she did so, she kept a watchful eye on the man's expressions, intending to figure out if the man would express any reluctance.

Fortunately, throughout the whole process, the man was very calm and didn't show any refusal toward her actions.

This made Sonia see the man in a better light.

After placing her bag back on the chair beside her, Sonia looked at the man with a half-smile. "I thought you'd protest."

Toby ate his food calmly. "Nothing to protest about. I don't have much of a smoke addiction in the first place, and I rarely smoke anyways. I only smoke one cigarette sometimes. If not, how come you only found out now that I'm still smoking?"

Sonia had no retort for these words.

He was right. If he had a strong addiction to smoking, she would've found out pretty early that he smoked regularly.

"I just didn't expect you to react so strongly to my smoking." Toby put some food on her plate as he spoke.

Sonia ate the food courteously, which was also another sign that she was no longer upset about his smoking habits.

"I reacted strongly because I care about you and your body. If you aren't my lover, I wouldn't care at all." At that, Sonia rolled her eyes at the man.

Toby nodded sincerely. "Yeah, I won't do it anymore. Don't worry, I'll keep my body in good condition, and I won't put you at a disadvantage. I'll only make you happy."

His last sentence was whispered in a low and seductive voice in her ear as he leaned in toward her.

Sonia felt a tickle in her ear as she moved away a little bit. Her face was extremely red as she glared at the man.

What was this stupid man flirting around for?

She cared about his body so that he wouldn't fall sick. She wasn't hoping for him to keep up his abnormal amounts of stamina and do those things with her.

This stupid man always liked to interrupt the conversation with such things.

"Go away and be good." Sonia pushed the man away, annoyed.

The man chuckled, but still he obediently shifted back to his position.

Sonia tucked a bit of her hair behind her ears and took a sip of water before she could finally calm down. Then, she returned to the topic at hand. "Tell me, why smoke all of a sudden? Or did you go to the washroom just to have a puff?"

"It's not that." Toby shook his head. "I smoked because I was too bored while watching the performance."

"It has something to do with that performance?" Sonia was surprised. "What performance is that? You never cared much about these things and don't really join in the fun, but this performance is actually interesting enough that you'd stop and smoke while you watched?"

She was curious about this instead.

"It's a performance by the Grays," Toby said, sipping his wine.

Sonia blinked. "The Grays?"

"Yup." Toby nodded. "What other performance do you think was worth stopping by and watching?"
