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

Chapter 1112

Still, Toby did ont enjoy being mobbed. Furthermore, these people clamoring around him were there with specific intentions.

Their eyes were filled with ambition and sparkled with greed, which increased his disgust.

He knew why these people came forward to greet him.

After all, it was fine to have the intention to ascend the social ladder, but the problem was that these people were completely ignorant to one's mood and they could not seem to tell that he was fairly annoyed.

How dare they continue to mob me and chatter incessantly!

These people tried to introduce themselves or their company's products to him to try and pique his interest so that he would invest in their products or collaborate with them. They hoped to be able to make use of his influence to work their way up the social ladder. They're too greedy!

If he had encountered any of these people by chance any other day, he might have some interest in their elevator pitch.

As the chairman and president of Fuller Group, he never looked down upon any person and he clearly knew that a lot of the smaller companies had great potential. As such, he never refused the idea to collaborate with any smaller companies. After all, Fuller Group started out as a tiny workshop.

As such, he found it normal for the bosses of such small companies to wish to foster ties with him and build up a connection, seeing that it was normal for them to wish to grab hold of an opportunity. This was essentially a chance for them to push for the development of their company. If he actually discovers any company with potential, then he would be willing to give the other party a chance. Therefore, it would be a win-win situation for both parties.

However, he disliked the fact that these people were bothering him during his personal time while he was trying to rest; they did not seem to possess basic decency either. Can't they tell that I'm busy spending time with my wife?

Despite his utter annoyance with these people, he did not flare up at them nor get them to leave. This was Bayside Residence after all and it was Sonia's property. It was also a present from Henry when Sonia turned eighteen. Even if Sonia would move away from here to stay somewhere else with him in the future, the apartment would still remain nevertheless. He was worried that if he took action against these people, they would carry a grudge and do something to Sonia's apartment. After all, he could not exactly make sure that everything was well-sorted despite his capabilities, since he was not lawless.

As such, in order to ensure the good condition of Sonia's apartment—which was the final gift Henry left for Sonia—he had no choice but to stifle his frustrations and collect each of the name cards handed over by these people, despite his reluctance. Finally, it was their turn to pay at the counter, so he managed to get away from these people.

Naturally, they utilized the delivery services of the grocery store to get their groceries delivered home, so they walked back to the apartment empty-handed.

Well… They were not exactly empty-handed because they were holding onto each other's hand.

For Toby, just a simple act of holding her felt like he had the entire world in his hand.

"Earlier on, you did that because of me, right?" Suddenly, Sonia lifted her head and asked as she kept her eyes on the stars in the sky.

Toby paused momentarily and soon regained his composure as he chuckled lightly in response. "What do you mean?"

She turned to shoot a silent look from the side of her eyes at him. "Yeah, sure, keep up this facade. Just keep it up. Earlier on at the store, there were many people who recognized you and handed their name cards to you. You clearly looked annoyed and impatient, but you suppressed yourself and didn't get them to leave. This isn't how you normally behave."

"Oh?" Toby chuckled slightly. "Then, how do I normally behave?"

Sonia beamed and asked, "Is this a test for me?"

He nodded slightly. "I just want to find out how well you know me."

At that moment, she snorted. "Well, I reckon I know you very well. If you had behaved as the normal you, then you would have asked those people to leave impatiently. After all, you're not the type to tolerate things silently. You would only do that when you have something you're concerned about. Of course, you won't be concerned about yourself because you'd have no qualms about getting them to leave and offending them. You wouldn't be afraid that they'd seek revenge and take action against you because they wouldn't have the guts to go after you anyway. Besides, they are no match for you. So, I would be the only reason for your concern. That's because we're the only two here. As for the second reason, well…"

She casually lifted her hand and put up two fingers as she shook them.

Her slender fingers appeared much fairer under the lit-up night scene and it looked much prettier.

Toby could not take his eyes off her upon seeing her fingers and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Continue on…"

Sonia put down her hand and smiled. "Well, since you said that it was because of your concern for me that you didn't ask those people to leave, then the second reason would be quite simple, of course. This is where I'm staying and you're usually much busier than I am. Furthermore, there will be times when you'll have to sleep at Fuller Group and not return, so I'd be the only one to come back here. You're afraid that they would target me instead of you. After all, despite your capabilities, you wouldn't be able to cover all the bases, so that's why you chose to tolerate them."

Toby's expression mellowed as he reached out to ruffle her hair. "You're smart. What would you like as a reward?"

Sonia removed his hand from her head. "I don't want a reward from you. It's always the same old thing."

At that moment, there was a glint across Toby's eyes. "Oh? What do you mean by the same old thing? Why aren't you being more specific?"

Wall… Thay wara not axactly ampty-handad bacausa thay wara holding onto aach othar's hand.

For Toby, just a simpla act of holding har falt lika ha had tha antira world in his hand.

"Earliar on, you did that bacausa of ma, right?" Suddanly, Sonia liftad har haad and askad as sha kapt har ayas on tha stars in tha sky.

Toby pausad momantarily and soon ragainad his composura as ha chucklad lightly in rasponsa. "What do you maan?"

At that momant, sha snortad. "Wall, I rackon I know you vary wall. If you had bahavad as tha normal you, than you would hava askad thosa paopla to laava impatiantly.
