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

Chapter 968 To Enjoy Norfolkian Cuisine

“Of course. Please wait a moment; it will be ready soon.” Sophia took the dress from Sonia and packed it with her assistant.

Toby and Sonia were sitting on the sofa to wait for the apparel.

After waiting for a few seconds, he looked at Sonia, who was beside him, and asked, “What would you like to eat later?”

“I have no idea; what about you?” She shook her head and asked the same question.

He smiled lightly. “I’m okay with anything. I will eat whatever you like.”

“Is that so?” Sonia touched her chin and was thinking about what they should eat soon. Her eyes lit up after she thought for two minutes. Then, she said excitedly, “How about Norfolkian cuisine?”

“Norfolkian cuisine?” Toby raised his eyebrows.

Sonia nodded twice.

Looking at her, he said, “Norfolkian cuisine is notoriously sour. Are you sure you can handle it?”

Many sour crops such as lemons grew well in Norfolk, so it affected the meals of the Norfolkians. The food they consumed was mostly acidic.

In fact, many travelers were not used to eating there.

That was why the Norfolkian cuisine was known as the most unpalatable cuisine in the country. It also illustrated that no one but the Norfolkians enjoyed Norfolkian cuisine.

“I can handle it.” Sonia knew Toby’s reason for caution, so she smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. I love Norfolkian cuisine. However, there are few Norfolk restaurants in Seafield, so I rarely have it too.”

“You love Norfolkian cuisine, you say?” Toby squinted. “Since when have you loved Norfolkian cuisine? You never wrote about it in your letters before.”

“I’ve always loved it,” Sonia replied with a smile. “However, my dad doesn’t enjoy it, so our chef in the Reeds Family rarely cooked it. This isn’t important, so I didn’t write it in the letters either. Besides, I haven’t eaten Norfolkian cuisine for years, so you wouldn’t know.”

He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. “Okay, let’s have it since you love it.”

Sonia, however, hesitated at this moment. “Are you sure?”

Toby chuckled upon hearing that. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you want to have it? Why are you hesitating now?”

He reached out and lightly squeezed her nose.

“I’m not hesitating.” She peevishly slapped his hand away. “I’m worried about you, just like you did me earlier. I’m worried that you can’t handle the cuisine. If you can’t, you have to watch me eat while you go hungry.”

She couldn’t do such a wicked thing.

After Toby knew her reason for hesitation, his heart melted into a puddle. “Don’t worry. I can handle any meal as long as it’s not too spicy or sweet. Besides, although Norfolkian cuisine is notoriously sour, there must be a few non-sour dishes. I won’t have those that are sour, so you don’t have to worry about me.” He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Sonia thought it was reasonable and she stopped hesitating. She hugged Toby’s arm as she said, “Alright, then. Let’s have Norfolkian food! I know delicious Norfolkian cuisine that is not sour. How about putting me in charge of ordering later?”

“Sure, I’ll leave my dinner to you.” Toby nodded slightly.

After hearing that, Sonia smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you won’t starve.”

“I trust you.” He looked at her with a doting gaze.

His thoughts, however, were getting turbulent. I would never have thought that Sonia loves Norfolkian cuisine. Julia is from Norfolk. In other words, before Julia married Asher, she was born and raised in Norfolk. Unfortunately, the Ramsay Family fell and moved out of Norfolk to head aboard. However, Julia will still return to Norfolk every once in a while. According to what I know about her, she seems to love Norfolkian cuisine. As someone born in Seafield, Sonia loves Norfolkian cuisine. She inherited that trait from Julia. Although Sonia doesn’t look like Titus and Julia, she does seem like the deceased Old Madam Gray, Mia Murray. However, Sonia’s favorites are similar to Titus and Julia’s. They might doubt Sonia’s identity again if they discover her tastes.

“What are you thinking about?” Sonia stood before Toby. She then bent over and waved at him.

He grabbed her hand and his gaze froze for a moment. Suddenly, he came back to his senses and murmured, “Nothing.”

Only then did Toby realize that, at some point, Sonia had let go of his arm and stood up. She was now holding a delicately packaged gift box, with Sophia standing beside her.

“Nothing?” Sonia squinted slightly. “I don’t believe you. You didn’t respond when I called you several times earlier. You didn’t even notice that Sophia had packaged the dress for me. Are you daydreaming?”

“It’s true; it’s nothing much.” Toby stood up, thereafter taking the dress from her and smiling lightly. “I was just thinking about the company’s affairs.”

“Is it important?” Sonia quickly asked in concern. “If it’s important, you—”

“It’s not important.” Toby cut off her words. “I won’t be this calm if it isn’t important.”

“That’s true.” Sonia nodded. Although he was distracted earlier, his expression was indeed calm. It didn’t look like something significant had happened. So, what he said should be accurate.

“Okay, we already have the order, so let’s go.” Toby took Sonia’s hand.

She hummed, then smiled at Sophia and bid farewell.

Sophia showed them the way out of the store and set a time to deliver Toby’s suit. She didn’t return to the store until they got into the car and left.

In the car, Sonia turned her head to look at the gift box in the back seat and suddenly bit her lip.

Seeing this, Toby asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I suddenly remembered that I had changed the piece. Do I still have a reason to chat with Madam Lloyd? She loved that brand, after all,” Sonia retracted her gaze and said uncertainty.

Toby smiled lightly. “Jeez! And here I was thinking that it was something serious. You don’t have to worry about this. I have checked about Madam Lloyd’s taste before. She prefers clothes designed by Sophia over that brand. However, Madam Lloyd could never commission a dress from Sophia because she was too famous and had many orders ahead. So, Madam Lloyd can only give up and wear that brand’s dress instead. If she had to choose only one dress, she would definitely take Sophia’s.”

Sonia’s eyes lit up. “So, this dress will have an easier time attracting Madam Lloyd’s attention than the dress that Anya had ruined?”

“Of course.” Toby coolly turned the steering wheel with one hand. “Sophia has a habit of embroidering a camellia on her clothes, which is the emblem of her family. To attract Madam Lloyd at a glance, I specifically instructed Sophia to make the camellia bigger while not destroying the beauty of the dress. This proves that she did it.”

Sonia slightly opened her mouth in surprise. “That’s why the flower on the shoulder is a bit too big. It turned out that you designed it on purpose to get Madam Lloyd’s attention.”
