This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1196 Leaving Is Also a Good Thing

Lance was one of Charles’ good friends and Charles thought he knew his friend well enough. To be able to make a slow poke act so quickly meant that he had a very important place in Lance’s heart.

Otherwise, he would not have put in so much effort to help a friend. Therefore, how could he not be excited and happy?

As for Sonia, she did not know Lance that well and was unsure of what kind of person he was. It was not until she heard what Charles said that she finally knew. As such, she was grateful that such a slow person would be able to finish the job so quickly.

“Maybe because you’re the one who found him. That’s why he’s so quick. Of course, it might be because he had been the leader for many years and changed his gentle attitude into a fiery one.” Sonia laughed while making a guess.

Touching his chin, Charles nodded. “What you said makes sense, but no matter what, it’s good that Lance finished the job swiftly.”

“Yes. That’s why I called you. I wanna ask you to bring him a thank-you gift,” Sonia said.

“Thank-you gift?”

“Yes.”

“For Lance?”

“Who else could it be?” She shrugged. “He gave me a hand in teaching Connor a lesson, so of course, I have to give him something to thank him. I can’t just sit here and do nothing, can I? Wouldn’t that be taking things for granted? I can’t do that, so I must prepare a gift. Besides, other than thanking him, I don’t want to owe him anything either.”

While knocking his fingers on the steering wheel, Charles agreed, “You’re right. You and Lance aren’t familiar with each other, so it’s best not to owe each other anything.”

“That’s why I came to you. I need to know what he likes. Then, I can prepare the gift and have you send it over. Also, you would get a thank-you gift too,” she added.

Surprise filled his face again. “What? Me too?”

“Of course! You’re the middleman who helped me get in contact with Lance. I can’t let you do all that work for nothing, right?”

“Hehe. Then, I’ll thank you in advance.” With excitement, he rubbed his hands together and continued, “Actually, you don’t have to give me anything and I’d still be willing to help you.”

“I know, but I can’t really do nothing, knowing that you did those things willingly, can I? If I did, what kind of person would I have become? Forget about that. Tell me what Lance likes. As for you, you don’t have to say it because I know.” While rubbing her sore shoulders, Sonia urged Charles to speak.
