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

Chapter 955 The Mangoes Are About to Turn Ripe

“Of course it’s true.” Sonia retracted her gaze and met his eyes. Seeing her calm and composed expression, Toby poked her forehead with his finger. “All right, I believe you, but I still hope you don’t keep anything from me. Just tell me if there’s anything and don’t let me worry.”

“Mm.” Sonia hummed in reply as the corners of her lips twitched a little. She felt a little guilty on the inside.

Toby held her hand in his. “Let’s go inside and quickly finish trying the clothes on so that we can eat. Are you hungry?”

Sonia rubbed her stomach with her other hand. “A little.”

“Then, let’s go.” Saying that, Toby quickened his stride.

Soon, the two entered the design studio. The designer’s assistant had been waiting at the entrance for some time. Upon seeing their arrival, she went up to welcome them warmly and led them to the sofa to sit down before serving them the best coffee they had.

“Where’s your boss?” However, Toby didn’t drink the coffee and put it aside. He looked at the assistant and asked indifferently.

Sonia sat next to him without speaking and drank her coffee quietly, leaving everything to him. After all, this was originally arranged by him, so it was a given that she left things to him.

“The boss is currently on the phone in her office. She knows that President Fuller is here, so she asked me to come out to greet the two of you first. She’ll be here once she’s done with the call,” the assistant replied with a smile.

Toby hummed in assent and stopped asking questions. After that, the assistant served a variety of exquisite desserts and fruits as if afraid of neglecting them. This gesture pleased Toby greatly. Sonia liked to eat desserts, and coincidentally, the assistant served them desserts. Of course he was pleased.

He looked at the desserts on the table before he finally chose a piece of mango mousse and gave it to Sonia. “Here, give it a try.”

He knew that her favorite fruits were mangoes. Speaking of which, the second batch of mangoes from Autumn Crest Hill was about to turn ripe, wasn’t it? When the first batch of mangoes turned ripe, he was still under hypnosis and thought Tina was Sonia, so after learning that the first batch of mangoes in Autumn Crest Hill had turned ripe, he immediately asked his men to choose the best ones and send them to Tina.

Thinking about it now, he yearned to beat his past self up. Still, it was fortunate that the mangoes ended up in Sonia’s hands. Then, after she found out that he had wrongly sent it to her and wanted to return it to him, he didn’t take it back and allowed her to keep it. It was just that he had no idea how she ended up dealing with that box of mangoes. Did she throw it out? She might have. At that time, they had already divorced, and she still resented him. She knew that the box of mangoes was for Tina, but it was sent to her by mistake, so she must’ve greatly disliked the box of mangoes and likely threw it out.

“What are you thinking about?” Sonia tapped him on the shoulder.

Toby’s eyes snapped back into focus as he suddenly returned to his senses and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Sonia looked at him out of the corner of her eyes. “That’s my question. When you handed me the dessert, I wanted to take it, but you didn’t let go and even spaced out. I even thought that you were teasing me on purpose and wouldn’t let me eat it.”

Hearing that, Toby looked down at his hand and realized that he was still holding onto the mango mousse without letting go.

“Ahem!” Toby coughed a little embarrassedly before he placed the mango mousse in her hand and apologized, “Sorry, I was thinking about something.”

“What is it?” Sonia forked a piece of mango, but she didn’t eat it and brought it to Toby’s mouth instead.

He eyed the dessert that was by his mouth and raised his eyebrows. “For me?”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded. “Why else would I give it to you? I know you don’t like to eat these things, but it’s all right to eat them once in a while. To me, eating these things makes me happy, so I want to share that happiness with you.”

“All right, I’ll have a taste then.” Toby opened his mouth and accepted the dessert from her along with the fork.

Seeing that he had eaten the dessert, Sonia made to take the fork back, but as she tugged on it, she realized that he had bitten on the fork and wouldn’t let it budge an inch.

“What are you doing?” Sonia rolled her eyes at him. “Can you eat properly? Why are you stealing the fork like a child?”

Toby chuckled in a low voice before he let go of the fork. “I was just teasing you.”

Saying that, he hurriedly picked up the cup of coffee to suppress the taste in his mouth.

Seeing him chug down the coffee, Sonia felt her heart skip a beat. “What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?”

Toby shook his head. “No, I just don’t like eating things that are too sweet. This dessert is too sweet.”

Sonia let out a breath of relief. “So that’s the case. I thought it tasted so bad that it made you sick.”

“Not at all.” Toby took some tissue paper and elegantly dabbed at the corners of his mouth. “I don’t feel sick. In fact, I feel really happy.”

“Happy?” Sonia tilted her head in confusion. “You can’t even take a bite of something this sweet. How could you feel happy?”

“Of course I can.” Toby placed his cup of coffee down and looked at her. “You shared the things that make you happy and even fed it to me yourself. That is happiness to me.”

Sonia’s face turned red and she laughed. “You really know what to say to make me happy.”

“I’m telling the truth. This is really how I feel.” Toby grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest where his heart was.

Sonia felt his heartbeat. She didn’t know if it was just her or what, but she always felt that his heartbeat seemed to be a little irregular, as if it was slower than her own. Soon after, she shook her head, thinking that it should just be her imagination. After all, everyone’s heartbeat was the same, so how could his heartbeat be slower? I must be overthinking it.

Thinking that, she quickly placed her doubts at the back of her mind and retracted her hand. “All right, I know that you are being sincere now. Can you stop doing this already? There’s someone watching.”

Saying that, she looked in one direction embarrassedly. There, the assistant was looking at them with a doting smile. Sonia knew that there were many people who liked to see her and Toby together, and there were many people like this in Paradigm Co. Every time Toby came to visit her, she could always see these fans smiling at them, just like the assistant in front of her now. So, did that mean that this assistant was also a fan of her and Toby?

Toby had also noticed the assistant, but he didn’t care. For him, it was normal for him to be close to his lover, and it wasn’t like they were doing anything else. If others wanted to look, they could go ahead. It wasn’t like it affected him anyway. However, he had always respected Sonia, and if she did not want to act intimately in front of others, he would naturally not force her to. Of course, there were exceptions. If he were kissing her, he wouldn’t necessarily stop even if someone walked in.

“By the way, the mangoes in Autumn Crest Hill are about to turn ripe, so I asked someone to send some over. What do you think?” Toby looked sideways at Sonia beside him and asked her for her opinion.

When Sonia heard his words, she paused while picking up the dessert. “Did you just say Autumn Crest Hill?”

“Yes.” Toby nodded slightly.

As if recalling something, Sonia pursed her red lips. “I remember that you prepared mangoes for Tina a few months ago. They were from Autumn Crest Hill, weren’t they?”

Hearing that, Toby immediately knew that she was still bothered about that incident.

“Yes.” Toby didn’t deny her words and admitted with a nod, “Actually, I’ve booked the mangoes at Autumn Crest Hill a long time ago for you. You’re the only person who likes mangoes. Tina is allergic to it, but she was pretending to be you at that time, and I didn’t realize that she was a fake because of the hypnosis, so I thought of her as you and sent the mangoes to her.”

“But in the end, it was delivered to me.” Sonia looked at him with a half smile.
