This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Even Charles’ jaw dropped. He was at a loss for words, but a storm was raging within him, and he couldn’t calm down. I can’t believe it. Mr. and Mrs. Reed aren’t her real parents! They adopted her? That’s straight out of a soap opera. And Sonia even went to Norfolk to find out the truth. When she thought she was their real daughter, she was so happy, but now… Charles was worried when he saw how crestfallen Sonia looked. “Babe…”

“Grace.” Sonia suddenly stood up and held the box firmly. “What is inside this box?”

Grace shook her head. “I have no idea. It’s your mother’s gift to you, so I have never opened it. You’ll have to find out for yourself after you go home.”

Sonia said nothing.

Grace held her hand. “Don’t think too much about it, Sonia. You’ll come to accept it. Let’s have dinner.” She took Sonia and went to the dining room.

Charles looked at them, then at the box Sonia left on the table. In the end, he clenched his fists and went with them.

It was not an enjoyable dinner for Sonia at all. Her mind was somewhere else, and even Grace and Charles were deathly silent. Because of that, the dinner was a silent affair, save for the chewing sounds and the clanging of cutlery. The whole atmosphere was rather somber.

Curtis had no idea what happened, but he disliked the atmosphere. He put his bowl down and was about to speak, but Grace noticed it, so she squinted dangerously at him, telling him to shut up. Curtis was afraid of his wife, so he went back to his dinner silently after receiving that death glare.

The dinner lasted for what seemed like a lifetime for Sonia, but it ended eventually.

She took the box and said goodbye to the Lanes before going to the villa’s entrance.

Grace quickly told Charles, “Send her off. She can’t drive in that state.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice.” Charles rushed ahead. When he came out, he saw Sonia almost tripping over herself, since she wasn’t watching where she was going. He got tense and ran over to her, then pulled her back up before she could fall. “Are you alright, babe?” he asked nervously.

Sonia blinked and looked at him, but her eyes were dead. Finally, she shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ll be going home now,” she answered hoarsely as she took her car keys out and poked her door.
