This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr
Chapter 203
Before Zane could speak up for himself, Douglas barreled toward Sonia and wrapped his arms around her waist, thereafter whining, “Aunt Sonia, Uncle Zane was pinching me!”
Sonia’s eyes narrowed into dangerous slits as she surveyed Zane reproachfully.
Zane was quick to raise his hands, as though the gesture was symbolic of his innocence. “No, I did not! Why would I pinch the little guy? I was only teasing him.”
“Teasing him, you say? So, why are his cheeks all red?” Her heart twisted as she soothingly caressed Douglas’ face, which was pink from the pinches. Then, she accusingly addressed Zane, “You’re just like Toby.”
At the mention of Toby, the playful glimmer in Zane’s eyes dimmed. “Toby?! What did he do?”
She rolled her eyes in exasperation and explained witheringly, “He practically kneaded Douglas’ cheeks until they were red last night. It’s always brute force when it comes to you men.”
His brows furrowed. “He kneaded Douglas’ face? Does that mean the both of you met Toby after I left last night?”
Sonia handed a spoon to Douglas and pulled up a chair at the table. “That’s right. Douglas was hungry, so I brought him out for food. We then ran into Toby at the restaurant. When Douglas needed to use the restroom, I was too embarrassed to bring him into the men’s room, so Toby brought him instead.”
“Oh, okay.” Zane nodded in understanding.
Meanwhile, Douglas was taking his oatmeal when he suddenly piped up, “Mr. Toby was hurt too.”
“Hurt?” Zane could not hide his shock as he looked over at Sonia. “How did that happen?”
She pinched the space between her brows in exhaustion as she began to narrate what had happened the night before.
