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

Sonia did not want to eat another bite. Whatever she had on her plate was enough to make her entire being tremble from having her mental defenses tested.

She did not know what would happen if she continued to eat the food. Would she immediately forgive all wrongs and acknowledge Julia and Titus as her parents?

She had been yearning for a mother's love for way too long. If Julia kept up with the offense on her mental defenses, she would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Today's meeting had to end now. She could not let it continue any longer.

She put down her phone. Her body trembled as she got to her feet.

Toby followed suit and wrapped her in his arms.

He had not taken a single bite of the food served at all.

One, Julia prepared the feast just for Sonia. He knew Sonia had been longing for a mother's love.

Hence, he did not want to step in between them. He wanted her to know what a mother's love felt like and calm any regrets she had.

Two, he was not hungry at all.

"Mr. and Mrs. Gray, my wife is full and it is getting late. We should be going," Toby announced, glancing at Julia and Titus.

Sonia kept her head ducked down the entire time. She did not say a word, and her face was hidden from view.

Titus had a clearer view of her face than Julia, so he understood there was something off about Sonia's current mood. He nodded. "Very well. Stay safe. If possible, call us or message us once you're home to let us know you've arrived safely."

Toby kept quiet. No one knew if that meant he agreed to the request or not.

Julia was silent the entire time, staring at her daughter with eyes full of reluctance.
