This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“Conflict?” Sonia frowned puzzledly. “No.”

“Are you sure?” Zane clearly refused to believe her, but she nodded solemnly. “Of course not. But why the question?”

“It’s because of Toby’s attitude just now. It was too out of the norm.” Zane stared at the private dining room of the restaurant that Toby was dining at, squinted his eyes with a perplexed expression.

Sonia looked in the same direction. “Yeah, he was acting a little weird.”

“Right?” Zane caressed his chin, looking like a pensive detective. “Normally, if he sees me walking close to you, he’d show up and wreak havoc around us because he wouldn’t allow you to be with any other man. He didn’t do that today. By the looks of it, he seemed happy to see us together.”

Sonia remained silent but bit her lower lip anxiously, for she had observed everything Zane told her, and it made her uneasy.

“Is that why you guessed that there was a conflict between me and him?” she questioned as she clenched her fists.

He nodded. “That’s right. If not, I can’t explain why Toby would act in such a way.”

“That’s because he has let go,” Sonia looked at the ground as she muttered.

Zane was taken aback. “Let go?”

“I said Toby has given up on me. He won’t pursue me again.” She clenched her fists even tighter.

At her reply, Zane’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. “Are you serious?”

“Yes,” Sonia answered curtly.

By now, Zane’s mouth was wide open in shock. “How is that possible? Toby loves you so much. He’s also pretty aggressive. Once he sets his eyes on something, he will never give up on it.”

“It’s definitely possible. He told me in person.” Sonia stared at him.

Toby had told her the truth on the day he woke up from the coma. He said that he would not pursue her and ask her to be with him anymore.

For some reason, Sonia recalled his words vividly. She should have been elated when the man she hated decided to stop bugging her, yet she did not feel happy at all. In reality, she even felt a little depressed, accompanied by some bitterness and a hint of inexplicable emotions.
