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

Chapter 973 Who Is in That Private Room?

“I didn’t know it at first.” He placed some dishes on her plate and went on, “When Zane came to discuss a government project with me, he received a gift from Rina about halfway through, and that day happened to be White Day. While opening the gift, he told me awkwardly that it wasn’t the first time he’d received Rina’s gift. She had done it several times before, even on ordinary days, and she frequently finds opportunities to meet him. It’s easy to understand where she’s coming from.”

“Wow…” Sonia was taken aback and took a deep breath. “I had no idea about this at all.”

“We had not yet reconciled at that point in time. And because this isn’t about us, I didn’t tell you anything else after that,” Toby responded while raising his head.

When Sonia heard that, she fell silent, unsure what to say. She wasn’t sure if she should feel sorry for Zane for being adored by Rina.

On the other hand, she found it amusing too.

“From what you’ve said, she’s been in love with him for a long time.” Sonia then had the food that Toby had placed on her plate earlier.

Toby sipped his red wine and replied, “That should be the case. Rina had taken the DNA test with Julia about two weeks before White Day, and she had been trying to meet Zane at random even before that. So I’m guessing she had a crush on him not long after they met.”

“Would it be when they were constantly in contact with each other?”

Toby’s action was halted by her words. “Do you know about it?” he asked, looking at her.

She nodded to that. “As you know, we wanted Rina to be our insider in the Gray Family, so we needed her to go through some training to learn more about them. Zane was in charge of training her. They saw each other almost every day during the training. It is very likely for her to fall in love with him after all those days together. Frankly speaking, Rina had never had the opportunity to meet outstanding guys like Zane before she met us, and once she saw him, she was naturally tempted.”

“That should be it,” Toby said, raising his chin.

“I never imagined that our plan would undergo such drastic changes. Not only did we discover the Grays’ biological daughter, Rina is now harassing Zane. I’m sure he’s now regretting the entire plan.”

Even Sonia, let alone Zane, regretted the plan.

Her original plan was to put an insider into the Gray Family to find ways to beat them down.

However, it turned out that she had, in fact, lent them a hand.

Sonia felt regretful thinking about it.

Toby, on the other hand, did not say anything and silently added more food to her plate.

“Zane didn’t tell me about this either, not to mention that I’m his coworker!” She exhaled a sigh.

“He doesn’t want you to feel bad about it. After all, engaging Rina was your mutual plan,” Toby said this while putting food in his mouth.

Sonia only gave a bitter smile in response. “True. That’s why I’m regretting it now.”

“You don’t have to. Nobody could have predicted that things would progress to this point.” He stroked her hair and attempted to console her, but she only pursed her lips and remained silent.

Setting his utensils down, Toby then supported his head with his hand and smilingly asked, “So, do you now believe that Rina isn’t interested in me?”

When Sonia heard that, she looked at him coquettishly and said, “Based on her actions earlier, I suspected she has a crush on you. I assumed she was jealous, or even anxious and afraid of me when she saw me, because she intends to court you. I was prepared to deal with you on that!”

That stunned Toby for a while. Then, he laughed. “I am so aggrieved!”

Sonia was flushed with embarrassment. “That was my initial thought. However, after I left the washroom, Rina followed me from behind anxiously until I entered this room, where she stood outside and appeared to be relieved. That’s when I realized she wasn’t feeling guilty or anxious because she loves you, but rather because she has something she wants to keep from me, which is why she followed me and tried to monitor everything I did. Toby, what do you think is in this restaurant that makes her so nervous that she wants to chase me out and then has to follow me all the way?”

“Did she chase you out?” Toby wore a solemn expression when he heard that.

Sonia responded with a light hum. “Yes. She asked me to leave when we were in the restroom earlier. Isn’t it amusing? This isn’t her restaurant, yet she has the audacity to chase me away!”

Upon hearing that, Toby was even more glum. “She is the one who should leave. Since when does she have the authority to drive people away?”

And it was his woman she did this to!

Is Taylor Carey tired of living?

Sonia had no idea that Toby was already displeased with Rina. When she heard his words, she nodded and said, “That’s correct. I told her as well and her expression was priceless!”

“What happened next?” Looking at Sonia’s smile, Toby finally relaxed his brows before taking a tissue and gently wiping her mouth.

Sonia then took a spoonful of soup and said, “I left the washroom after that and headed here, and she followed me all the way. From that, I realized that she wasn’t anxious or afraid of me because she likes you, but that there is something here that she doesn’t want me to run into. She entered her room, relieved, after seeing that I had not encountered anything on my way here. When she looked into her room, her gaze seemed strange as well. I can’t put my feelings into words, but I believe the thing she doesn’t want me to come across is in her room. What do you think she’s hiding?”

However, Toby merely lowered his gaze and remained silent.

What was it in Rina’s room that made her so terrified?

In the entire Seafield, only Titus and his wife could do that.

It was such a coincidence that Sonia was craving Norfolkian cuisine today, and Titus and Julia were also here.

It was most likely Julia’s idea. Since she was from Norfolk, it wasn’t surprising for her to adore Norfolkian cuisine.

Hence, it was perfectly natural for them to appear here.

Sonia, however, wasn’t the same. She was from Seafield, and it was surprising that she loved Norfolkian cuisine, though this could be attributed to her personal preferences.

After all, there was no hard and fast rule that Seafield residents couldn’t prefer food from other places.

But then again, Sonia shared many similarities with Rina. Titus and Julia would be suspicious of her identity if they saw her here and learned that she adored Norfolk’s cuisine.

Perhaps Rina wanted her to leave the restaurant because of this. She did not want Sonia to run into Titus and Julia.

However, Sonia refused. Rina did not dare to forcefully chase her out, so she could only follow closely behind Sonia to see if she would happen to run into Titus and Julia.

She did not, which was why Rina felt relieved.

“What are you thinking about?” Seeing that Toby was immersed in his thoughts, Sonia gently nudged him.

“Nothing much.” His gaze flickered. Trying to suppress his thoughts, he smiled nonchalantly and continued, “I think the one in Rina’s room is Titus and his wife.”

“Titus and his wife?” Sonia exclaimed in shock.
