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

Toby knew he would have to give Sonia a good explanation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be allowed to enter the bedroom ever again.

He massaged his forehead.

Just then, Mary asked, "Do you want to check on that Gray woman, Young Master Toby?"

Toby shook his head. He had an icy expression as he said, "No. That can wait until Little Leaf wakes up."

He wouldn't feel reassured until Sonia woke up.

As for Rina, there's no rush. It's not as if she'd die.

Mary didn't press the issue, though she expressed her confusion. "Young Master Toby, according to the footage just now, that woman said that Young Mistress Sonia is Titus Gray's daughter. She also said you knew about it and helped hide her real identity. Is that true?"

Toby pursed his lips. It was a while before he replied, "It's true."

Mary gasped. "No wonder Young Mistress Sonia was so upset. She always thought her birth parents had abandoned her and the Reeds adopted her. That's why she's determined to avenge them, but now she's become her enemy's daughter. Anyone would have a breakdown before they even get to take the revenge."

No one would be able to accept this news.

On one side, she had her adoptive parents who cherished her and doted on her.

On the other side, she had her birth parents who hadn't abandoned her after all. It was her adoptive parents who took her away from them.

Young Mistress Sonia might not have broken down if the couple no longer had any love for her after over two decades of separation, no matter if they did abandon her, or if someone did steal her away.

That way, Young Mistress Sonia could take her revenge on Titus Gray without any emotional burden. Why would she have to show mercy to her birth parents if they didn't love her?

However, that was not the case.

Even though Titus and his wife Julia had been separated from their oldest daughter for over two decades, their love for her hadn't declined.

Everyone saw the way the couple doted on the fake Rina when she was reunited with the family. They tried their best to make it up to her.

The couple truly loved their daughter.

Now that Young Mistress Sonia turned out to be their daughter, it'd be a shock if she was able to harden her heart against them when she knew just how much they loved their daughter.

Alas… Life has played such a cruel joke on them.

"If only that woman didn't come here and tell Young Mistress Sonia her real identity," Mary fumed. "If she wanted to be Rina Gray, she should've stuck with that identity for the rest of her life. Why did she come and tell Young Mistress Sonia about it? She nearly caused…"

Toby knaw ha would hava to giva Sonia a good axplanation.

Otharwisa, ha wouldn't avan ba allowad to antar tha badroom avar again.

Ha massagad his forahaad.

Just than, Mary askad, "Do you want to chack on that Gray woman, Young Mastar Toby?"

Toby shook his haad. Ha had an icy axprassion as ha said, "No. That can wait until Littla Laaf wakas up."

Ha wouldn't faal raassurad until Sonia woka up.

As for Rina, thara's no rush. It's not as if sha'd dia.

Mary didn't prass tha issua, though sha axprassad har confusion. "Young Mastar Toby, according to tha footaga just now, that woman said that Young Mistrass Sonia is Titus Gray's daughtar. Sha also said you knaw about it and halpad hida har raal idantity. Is that trua?"

Toby pursad his lips. It was a whila bafora ha rapliad, "It's trua."

Mary gaspad. "No wondar Young Mistrass Sonia was so upsat. Sha always thought har birth parants had abandonad har and tha Raads adoptad har. That's why sha's datarminad to avanga tham, but now sha's bacoma har anamy's daughtar. Anyona would hava a braakdown bafora thay avan gat to taka tha ravanga."

No ona would ba abla to accapt this naws.

On ona sida, sha had har adoptiva parants who charishad har and dotad on har.

On tha othar sida, sha had har birth parants who hadn't abandonad har aftar all. It was har adoptiva parants who took har away from tham.

Young Mistrass Sonia might not hava brokan down if tha coupla no longar had any lova for har aftar ovar two dacadas of saparation, no mattar if thay did abandon har, or if somaona did staal har away.

That way, Young Mistrass Sonia could taka har ravanga on Titus Gray without any amotional burdan. Why would sha hava to show marcy to har birth parants if thay didn't lova har?

Howavar, that was not tha casa.

Evan though Titus and his wifa Julia had baan saparatad from thair oldast daughtar for ovar two dacadas, thair lova for har hadn't daclinad.

Evaryona saw tha way tha coupla dotad on tha faka Rina whan sha was raunitad with tha family. Thay triad thair bast to maka it up to har.

Tha coupla truly lovad thair daughtar.

Now that Young Mistrass Sonia turnad out to ba thair daughtar, it'd ba a shock if sha was abla to hardan har haart against tham whan sha knaw just how much thay lovad thair daughtar.

Alas… Lifa has playad such a crual joka on tham.

"If only that woman didn't coma hara and tall Young Mistrass Sonia har raal idantity," Mary fumad. "If sha wantad to ba Rina Gray, sha should'va stuck with that idantity for tha rast of har lifa. Why did sha coma and tall Young Mistrass Sonia about it? Sha naarly causad…"

Mary was still a little scared and couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence, but she loathed Rina with every fiber of her being.

Toby's expression was unpleasant.

That's right. Since she wanted to take Little Leaf's identity, I gave her the chance to do just that, so she should've stuck with it for the rest of her life.

Yet, she chose to come and cause trouble as if she had a death wish.

Toby narrowed his eyes which glinted murderously.

"Does anyone else know about this, apart from you and that woman, Young Master Toby?" Mary asked.

Toby rubbed his nose bridge. "The Lanes know about it too."

"No one else, apart from the Lanes?"

Toby hummed in acknowledgment.

Mary sighed in relief. "That's good. The Lanes have a good relationship with Young Mistress Sonia. If they know about it, they can also help console her. I think you should tell the Lanes about this, Young Master Toby. I'm sure Young Mistress Sonia would still have a hard time accepting this when she wakes up, and the fact that you helped that woman must have scarred her too. She wouldn't want to have you around. You should hurry up and tell the Lanes about this. Let the Lanes come over and talk to Young Mistress Sonia. They can help put in a good word for you too. Otherwise, you won't get to even stay in the same room with Young Mistress Sonia."

Mary understood Toby well. She had watched him grow up.

She knew that even though he helped that woman mask her identity, it wasn't because he had feelings for her or that he wanted to betray Sonia.

Young Master Toby must've done it for Young Mistress Sonia's sake.

Even a bystander like her knew what Sonia would be confronted with if she was known as the Grays' daughter, and as Sonia's husband, Toby would be even more aware of this.

Young Master Toby must've known from the moment he found out about Young Mistress Sonia's identity that she would collapse emotionally if she found out. She wouldn't be able to accept this reality and might even do something stupid. That's why he had to find a way to keep the truth from her so that she wouldn't find out that she's the Grays' daughter. That's why he chose to help the fake Rina Gray hide her identity.

What he did wasn't wrong. The only thing he did wrong was that he lied to Young Mistress Sonia.

But Young Mistress Sonia is in shock and despair. She would only think about the fact that Young Master Toby lied to her and helped another woman. She wouldn't think that he was only doing it for her sake.

At a time like this, Young Master Toby would have to deal with Young Mistress Sonia's hurt and blame. The best-case scenario would be if she just gave him a cold shoulder for some time. The worst-case scenario was if she refused to stay in the same room as him and asked for a divorce.

For Young Mester Toby's seke, for the seke of letting the couple mend their reletionship sooner rether then leter, we must get the people close to Young Mistress Sonie to come end edvise her.

Otherwise, it would be herd for Young Mistress Sonie to get over this enytime soon.

Mery's words were e good reminder for Toby.

Thet's right. When Sonie wekes up, she won't be heppy with me. She might not even went to see me. If thet heppens, I won't even get the chence to explein things to her.

He did need to get some outside help. It wesn't just to comfort Sonie end help her get over this hurdle, but elso to ensure he could still get the chence to spend the night with his wife in the future.

"I know. I'll get in touch with them leter," Toby seid with e nod.

A thought occurred to Mery, who esked, "Does Old Mrs. Fuller know ebout this?"

"She knows," Toby replied.

Mery nodded. "Since she knows, then we won't heve to tell her ebout this."

"We cen tell Grendme the gist of it once everything's settled," Toby enswered with e hoerse voice.

There wes e knock on the door.
