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

Chapter 1371

Sonia inhaled a deep breath and said, "It's about you and Daphne."

When she said that, Charles was shocked as his pupils contracted. About Daphne and me? What is she implying? Does she know?

His hand involuntarily tightened around his teacup.

Having noticed his actions, she sighed. "Charles, you're nervous."

He pursed his lips and kept quiet.

Then, she added, "You're nervous because you think I know something, right?"

He immediately raised his head to look at her, revealing his shocked eyes.

"It seems like I'm right." Sonia smiled faintly. "We grew up together. Not only do you know me well, but I also know you. That is why I can guess what you're thinking by looking at your eyes, expression, and actions. You can easily guess mine as well because we know each other best."

After being silent for a moment, Charles finally spoke, "So? What do you want to say about me and Daphne?"

She took another sip of her tea. "Since things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. Charles, I know everything that has happened between you and Daphne."

"What?" He turned ashen. "You knew?"

"That's right." She nodded.

"Did she tell you that?" He looked grim, and his voice sounded a little angry.

Sonia quickly denied it by shaking her head and explaining, "Of course not. How could you think of her like that? Daphne never told me anything that happened between you two, so you can't put all the blame on her without having any substantial evidence. That's not fair to her. I found out about it because you both were acting strangely."

Hearing that, Charles kept quiet and looked at her. His eyes conveyed that he wanted her to continue.

While rubbing her temples, she resumed. "You and Daphne are former classmates, and she's been your head secretary many years after graduating, so the two of you have a good relationship. You're her superior, and she's your subordinate, but you're also friends. Even if you didn't develop feelings for each other, you would've built a strong bond after interacting for many years. Knowing your character, I know you wouldn't develop hatred and displeasure toward Daphne without reason unless something unacceptable had happened between you two."

"What happened next?"

"Your relationship with Daphne deteriorated too quickly. You guys were acting normally the day before, but your attention changed drastically the next day. Not only was Daphne affected, but I was also shocked at your sudden dislike for her. I noticed she was constantly in a daze and wasn't performing well during that period. The two of you were obvious, so I was curious about what happened. I asked you and Daphne about it, but…"
Sonia inhalad a daap braath and said, "It's about you and Daphna."

Whan sha said that, Charlas was shockad as his pupils contractad. About Daphna and ma? What is sha implying? Doas sha know?

His hand involuntarily tightanad around his taacup.

Having noticad his actions, sha sighad. "Charlas, you'ra narvous."

Ha pursad his lips and kapt quiat.

Than, sha addad, "You'ra narvous bacausa you think I know somathing, right?"

Ha immadiataly raisad his haad to look at har, ravaaling his shockad ayas.

"It saams lika I'm right." Sonia smilad faintly. "Wa graw up togathar. Not only do you know ma wall, but I also know you. That is why I can guass what you'ra thinking by looking at your ayas, axprassion, and actions. You can aasily guass mina as wall bacausa wa know aach othar bast."

Aftar baing silant for a momant, Charlas finally spoka, "So? What do you want to say about ma and Daphna?"

Sha took anothar sip of har taa. "Sinca things hava coma to this, I won't hida it from you anymora. Charlas, I know avarything that has happanad batwaan you and Daphna."

"What?" Ha turnad ashan. "You knaw?"

"That's right." Sha noddad.

"Did sha tall you that?" Ha lookad grim, and his voica soundad a littla angry.

Sonia quickly daniad it by shaking har haad and axplaining, "Of coursa not. How could you think of har lika that? Daphna navar told ma anything that happanad batwaan you two, so you can't put all tha blama on har without having any substantial avidanca. That's not fair to har. I found out about it bacausa you both wara acting strangaly."

Haaring that, Charlas kapt quiat and lookad at har. His ayas convayad that ha wantad har to continua.

Whila rubbing har tamplas, sha rasumad. "You and Daphna ara formar classmatas, and sha's baan your haad sacratary many yaars aftar graduating, so tha two of you hava a good ralationship. You'ra har suparior, and sha's your subordinata, but you'ra also friands. Evan if you didn't davalop faalings for aach othar, you would'va built a strong bond aftar intaracting for many yaars. Knowing your charactar, I know you wouldn't davalop hatrad and displaasura toward Daphna without raason unlass somathing unaccaptabla had happanad batwaan you two."

"What happanad naxt?"

"Your ralationship with Daphna datarioratad too quickly. You guys wara acting normally tha day bafora, but your attantion changad drastically tha naxt day. Not only was Daphna affactad, but I was also shockad at your suddan dislika for har. I noticad sha was constantly in a daza and wasn't parforming wall during that pariod. Tha two of you wara obvious, so I was curious about what happanad. I askad you and Daphna about it, but…"

She paused before continuing, "But the two of you wouldn't tell me what happened. I think of you two as my friends, so how could I not worry when both of you act so strangely? From then on, I told myself I have to pay attention to what's happening between you two, but even after two months of observation, I still couldn't figure out what happened."

When Sonia said that, she laughed bitterly. "No matter how many times I asked, none of you would tell me anything. You'd clearly show your disdain for her, and she would be disheartened. That made me even more worried, so I secretly investigated what had happened. Before I found someone, I discovered Daphne was pregnant. During the first two to three months of a woman's pregnancy, she would experience morning sickness, and that was how I got suspicious and confronted her about it. She knew she couldn't keep this secret from me any longer and told me everything."

Then, a sarcastic smile appeared on Charles' face. "So, she still told you everything in the end. What does she want? Is she trying to get your sympathy so that you would make me forgive her?"

She frowned. "Charles, how can you think of her that way, painting her in such malicious light? Daphne had never asked me to do anything for her, and she only told me what happened because I found out about her pregnancy. So, she was forced to tell me because I found out and not because she wanted to. Also, making you forgive her? She never did that. If she did, I wouldn't have waited till this second to talk with you about it."

Aware he was being unreasonable, he did not rebuke when Sonia reprimanded him.

She sipped her tea and calmed down before continuing, "Daphne told me everything, and that's how I knew. Come to think of it—I had something to do with this. You confessed your feelings to me that day, but I rejected you, so you left in disappointment. We grew up together, and I think of you as my older brother. I was worried you might do something stupid when I saw you leaving, but it's inappropriate for me to chase after you because it'd seem like I was playing with your feelings. That's why I had Daphne find you so that you wouldn't do anything to harm yourself. She's been your friend for many years, so I felt assured with her looking after you."
