Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Toby fell silent.

He reached up to massage his temples with his fingers. “Never mind then. Can’t be helped if you can’t find it.”

If she didn’t know the identity of the thief, he couldn’t possibly force her to retrieve the bag

“I’m so sorry for causing trouble again, Toby.” Tina bit her lip and apologized with red eyes.

Now that he saw her like this, Toby responded in the gentlest voice possible, “It’s not your fault. Don’t take it to heart.”

“That’s right, Tina. Listen to Toby,” Titus coaxed.

Julia nodded as well.

Tina smiled through her tears when she realized that everyone was comforting her. “Okay, I know.”

“Oh, yeah! Toby, do you have any idea on how to deal with Tina’s case?” Titus asked as he looked at Toby.

Toby dropped his gaze. “You’ll find out tomorrow.”

Upon sensing Toby’s reluctance to spill the beans, Titus was a little upset, but he didn’t probe further.

It was a quiet journey in which they arrived at the Gray Residence half an hour later.

Then, Titus and his family exited the vehicle.

Toby rolled down the window and looked at them. “Titus, Julia, please take care of Tina.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Julia replied with a smile as she patted Tina’s head.

Even though Titus didn’t say anything, he looked like he agreed with Julia’s words.

 

Toby looked at Tina again. “Rest well at home and I’ll swing by during the weekend to pick you up.”

“Okay, Toby. Have a safe journey.” She nodded.

He grunted before he turned the car around to drive away.

It was not too long after that he arrived at Fuller Group.

Tom entered the office with a complicated expression as he held a document in his hand. “President Fuller.”

“What is it?” Toby was staring at the computer screen and asked without even looking up.

Tom stood in front of Toby’s desk and took a deep breath before replying, “You asked me to investigate Miss Reed’s physical condition from the hospital and I’ve received word on it.”

Toby paused from his typing on the keyboard and raised his head to look at Tom. “What did you find out?”

“S-She’s pregnant,” Tom answered with a weird expression.

Toby’s pupils contracted as he froze in shock. After a few seconds, he managed to come around and ask in an undeniably surprised tone, “What did you just say? She’s pregnant?”

“Yes, for more than a month now.” Tom nodded. It hasn’t even been two months since Miss Reed and President Fuller filed for divorce. So, one can conclude that as soon as Miss Reed left President Fuller, she immediately hooked up with President Lane.

Toby looked down so that he could mask his emotions from prying eyes, but his heart was in turmoil. A month or so... It’s been around one month since that night I shared with Sonia, so is there a possibility that the child is mine?

His heartbeat raced as he tightened his grip on the mouse. It was obvious he was nowhere near calm at that moment.

Tom wasn’t surprised by the sight. It’s obvious that President Fuller still cares for Miss Reed. Now that he has received news that she is pregnant, he definitely wouldn’t be able to keep

 

his cool.

While Tom pondered, Toby suddenly stood up. “Is there any way to know who the father is beforehand?”

“Yes, by removing the amniotic fluid, but it carries a high risk of miscarriage. Why do you ask, President Fuller?” Tom was curious.

Toby didn’t reply. Instead, his frown deepened.

Upon seeing his boss’ expression, Tom suddenly had a wild guess as his eyes widened. “President Fuller, are you suspecting that the child might be yours?”

Toby glanced at him before slightly nodding to confirm the man’s guess.

Tom was speechless. They even did that the day before their divorce… Color me impressed.

“Is there any other way besides taking the amniotic fluid?” Toby asked while looking at his assistant. Since removing the amniotic fluid presents great risks, I won’t let Sonia go through that.

Tom shook his head. “There’s none. Other methods would require the child to be born first.”

Toby’s thin lips formed a straight line; he was obviously expressing dissatisfaction at this piece of news.

While carefully examining Toby’s reaction, Tom asked, “President Fuller, don’t be so anxious. What if the child isn’t yours but President Lane’s?”

Upon hearing that question, Toby’s expression darkened as a heavy air hung around him.

Boom!

“Huh?” She turned her head around in curiosity to peek at the door. Who’s here at this hour?

Sonia closed the book and rose to her full height. Then, she walked toward the door and opened it before she raised her eyebrows in surprise. “It’s you?”
