This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 504 It’s Melody Again

“Home,” Toby said icily. Tom raised an eyebrow upon hearing his boss. “Home? Aren’t you going to pass Miss Reed the evening gown?”

“Does she look like she needs an evening gown right now?” Half of Toby’s face was covered by a shadow as he glanced out the window. Tom didn’t have anything to say in response. He’s right. Miss Reed is busy being intimate with Charles right now—it’d be odd for President Fuller and me to go to her. In the end, Tom started driving without saying anything else.

Toby remained silent throughout the ride. There was a gloomy aura surrounding his figure, and it seemed to spread out across the entire vehicle. Tom couldn’t handle the heavy atmosphere in the car, and he loosened his necktie as he cleared his throat. “Were you really affected by Miss Reed and Mr. Lane’s actions earlier, President Fuller?” he asked.

Toby narrowed his eyes. Of course I’m affected by their actions. Would anyone enjoy seeing their lover in another person’s arms? When Tom realized that Toby hadn’t responded to his question, he fixed his glasses before he continued talking. “Well, then… What are you planning to do if Miss Reed and Mr. Lane get together?”

A look of confusion flashed across Toby’s face as he thought about Tom’s question. What would I do if they got together? I’ve never considered this question. If this had happened before today, I would have come to terms with the truth. I would have accepted their relationship even if I knew that I would suffer for the rest of my life. All of this would’ve been possible if I didn’t have the desire to continue living. If I’m gone, I’d want Sonia to live a happy life—she’s going to be around a much longer time, after all.

But now that I’ve found the will to live, I can no longer have Sonia dating another man. Yet, if she does end up with another man, I can’t stop them or ruin their relationship. She’d hate me if I did that to her. Tom’s right—I really don’t know what to do now. I can’t allow her to be with someone else, yet I can’t ruin her relationship with another guy. I’m stuck in limbo—I can’t let go of her, but I can’t do anything to change her mind. This is so agonizing!

Tom let out a huge sigh when Toby didn’t respond to him. After working with Toby for 12 years as his assistant, Tom was the one person—apart from Rose—who knew Toby the best. After taking a glance at Toby’s expression, Tom quickly figured out what Toby was thinking about. It looks like I should start investigating Miss Reed and Charles’ relationship. If they’re really together, then I’m afraid President Fuller might lose his will to live once more. It’d be great news if they weren’t actually dating.
