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.

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.
