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

Chapter 337 The Source of the Shares

The moment she thought about her exchange with Carl the day before, Sonia lowered her gaze before she dismissed, “No, nothing happened at all.”

Clearly seeing through her lie, Charles raised a brow and drawled, “Really? Because from how I look at it, something definitely happened. I ran into Carl after I managed to borrow the wheelchair and boy, was I shocked by how gloomy he looked. I asked if he was okay, but he ignored me; when I returned to the ward, you looked sullen as well. I figured something must have happened between you two, but I only kept quiet about it because you looked so upset at that time.”

Sonia trailed off, not wanting to talk about how Carl had been involved in the poisoning, at least not to Charles. She didn’t want him to worry and she certainly would hate it if the two men started holding grudges against each other.

While Charles hadn’t known Carl for as long as she had, the two men were still friends and she didn’t want to jeopardize their friendship by telling the truth.

Moreover, she had already decided to forgive Carl and look past this incident. Withholding the truth seemed the best way to move forward.

Charles, on the other hand, exclaimed in surprise, “Y-You noticed Carl’s psychological issue?”

Sonia briefly appraised him with narrowed eyes as she accused, “What, did you already know about it?”

He swallowed convulsively at the realization that he had let this secret out of the bag.
