Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again

Chapter 927 Public Display of Affection

Grace and Curtis subconsciously nodded at Toby’s words. “Well, that’s true.” After all, there was a saying that a man who was willing to spend money for the sake of a woman must have a place for her in his heart, even if he didn’t love her very much. However, a man who was unwilling to spend money on her must have no place for her in his heart.

Toby is willing to lavish so much money on Sonny. Even if he has yet to love her to the bones, his feelings for her are probably not far from that, thought Grace as she exchanged a brief look with Curtis. Inwardly, she gave Toby ten more bonus points. Now he’s 20 points away from a perfect score.

“So, please be sure to accept these presents. These are a token of my regard,” Toby said while pushing the presents back toward them. Curtis and Grace looked at the presents that were pushed back toward them. “Does Sonny know that you’ve prepared these valuable presents?” We can’t accept these presents if Sonny doesn’t know about them.

Knowing what they meant, Toby replied with a slight nod, “Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. Little Leaf knows about this. I made a point of showing these to her and asking her if it was necessary to add anything else before bringing these over.

She knows about these presents, so you two may accept them with peace of mind. If you two don’t accept them, even she will feel uncomfortable and think that the gifts we prepared aren’t to your liking, let alone me.”

The instant he said that, Curtis and Grace dared not refuse his gifts anymore. After exchanging a brief look, they immediately replied, “How could such fancy gifts not be to our liking?”

“Since they’re to your liking, please don’t refuse them anymore.” Toby looked at the couple.

Curtis and Grace exchanged another brief look. Finally, they took the presents back with a smile. “Alright then. Now that you’ve said so, it’ll seem unkind and even somewhat unreasonable for us to refuse these gifts,” Grace said with a smile while closing the lids of the gift boxes one by one. She planned to take a closer look at them and try them on before going to sleep that night.

These are brand-new items that will only be on sale in the next quarter! I’m probably the first in the circle of upper-class women who got my hands on these. This is perfect. I can put them on tomorrow and show them off in front of them. At the same time, she gave Toby the last 20 bonus points on the scoring sheet in her mind. With that, he scored a perfect score in her mind.

At the moment, she was as satisfied with Toby as she could. Sonny has found herself a nice guy. Inwardly, she couldn’t stop feeling happy.

“She’s right. In that case, Toby, we’ll accept them with pleasure,” Curtis chimed in while putting the wines away one by one. Inwardly, he thought the same as Grace. Let’s call those few old friends over tomorrow to open their eyes. It had to be said that he and Grace had proved themselves to be a couple because they thought alike.

After putting the presents away, Curtis and Grace chatted with Toby, during which time Grace showed the latter as much cordiality and friendliness as she could. It was no exaggeration to say that she treated him like her own son.

At first, Toby didn’t like Grace being so cordial, but he really couldn’t resist it. He had no choice but to force himself to accept her cordiality with a smile. In the end, however, he slowly got used to it.

When Sonia came back from the washroom, she saw Grace pouring Toby tea in one moment and offering him fruit the next while calling him “Toby.”

At the sight of this, Sonia was totally stunned. What is going on? What caused Mrs. Lane’s attitude toward Toby to change drastically while I was absent? Before I went to the washroom, she was still having him under scrutiny, which was why she purposely pretended to be cool and standoffish toward him.

Why would she become so friendly toward him when I came back from the washroom? She offers him food and drink like a mother treating her own son lest he might get thirsty or hungry. So, what happened when I went to the washroom that made her become so friendly toward him? Looking at the three people across from her who were chatting happily, she tilted her head to one side in utter bafflement.

Upon seeing Sonia, Toby put down the drinking glass in his hand and beckoned to her. “Hurry and come over.”

Seeing his gesture, Grace and Curtis turned their heads and saw Sonia. They beckoned to her with a smile, saying, “Sonny, why are you standing there in a daze? Come on over.”

“I’m coming,” Sonia replied with a smile while walking toward them.

When she came to Toby’s side, Toby took her hand and moved to the side to make room for her.

She took the opportunity to sit down.

Toby then handed her a glass of water. “What took you so long?”

Sonia had a drink of water before replying, “I had a phone call to answer. Otherwise, I’d have come back earlier.”

Toby nodded without questioning her further. He merely picked up the fruit platter that Grace had just given him. Then, he forked a piece of fruit from it and brought it to her lips.

Sonia seemed to have grown used to being waited upon like this by the man. Therefore, she subconsciously opened her mouth and ate the fruit in a very natural manner.

Neither she nor Toby thought there was anything wrong with their actions, but Grace and Curtis were shocked to see this. So is this how Sonny and Toby get along in private? To think that he could humble himself to look after her like this!

As an old couple, Grace and Curtis didn’t know how other young couples got along with each other, but they dared to say that many men wouldn’t serve their girlfriends the way Toby did.

After all, young people nowadays were proud and ambitious, and they were pampered and spoiled by their parents. There was no way they would humble themselves to look after someone else—even if that someone was their lover. However, as the high and mighty chairman of a conglomerate, Toby was able to go to such extents. The visual impact brought about by this was simply enormous.

At the same time, though, it proved that he really loved Sonia very much. Furthermore, Sonia accepted Toby’s service in such an unruffled manner without feeling embarrassed in the slightest. This showed that he had always been looking after her like this in private, which was why as time passed, she no longer thought it was wrong of him to take care of her like this.

Seeing how the young couple got along with each other, Curtis said with a smile, “Honey, look! They’re so lovey-dovey.”

Grace nodded with a smile. “You can say that again.”

Upon hearing their words, Sonia finally realized that she had gotten so used to being fed by Toby that for a moment, she had forgotten that they were not at home, but at Lane Residence. It made her feel rather embarrassed to be lovey-dovey with Toby in front of Grace and Curtis, and her face reddened. “Well, uh, sorry for making you see this, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.”

“Nah, it’s okay.” Curtis and Grace immediately waved their hands and said that this was nothing to laugh at.

“We’re just feeling happy that you two love each other so much,” Grace replied.

Curtis nodded. “She’s right. My wife and I will be even happier if you two can always be so affectionate toward each other.”

Sonia hung her head bashfully without saying a word.

On the other hand, Toby smiled unperturbedly. “Don’t worry, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. We will.”

“That’d be great,” replied Grace and Curtis.

Just then, the servant came over. “Sir, ma’am, dinner is served and ready.”

Hearing that the dinner was ready, Grace immediately stood up and said, “Sonny, Toby, let’s go to the dining room for dinner. It’s such a late hour. You two must be getting hungry, right?”
