This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 537 A Little Too Unreasonable

Sonia had one hand pressing her chest and the other fanning herself to cool down the flush on her face.

Toby stared at her in mild bewilderment and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I-I’m perfectly fine!” Sonia stammered, swallowing convulsively as she looked down to avoid his gaze. My goodness, what’s wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast? Why is my face burning up? Calm down! He wasn’t actually calling me ‘baby’; he was only platonically referring to Charles’ nickname for me, so why am I acting so weird about it?

Charles had more often than not called her ‘baby’, but never once had she ever felt the way she did now. Logically speaking, the way Toby had called her by the same nickname shouldn’t affect her this much.

Presently, Toby could tell that Sonia was being evasive. With narrowed eyes, he gazed at her intently, as though he wanted to see through her.

After a pause, he appeared to understand what was going on. Dark amusement glittered in his eyes as he leaned forward, closing the distance between them. The corner of his lips curled with a devious smirk as he said slowly, “You still haven’t answered me, Sonia. Does Charles still call you ‘baby’? Hmm?”

This time, he added even more emphasis and bass to the word, and the suggestive edge that came with his gravelly tone only made Sonia draw in a sharp breath.

“S-Stay away from me!” She abruptly stood up and marched forward, effectively putting some distance between them. She had her back turned to him, and she refused to spin around no matter what.
