Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 Sonia’s Selfishness

As he took a deep breath, Toby calmed down and looked at Sonia. “I admit that what I did in the past was wrong and I will make up for all my mistakes. However, now and the past are two different things, Sonia. You can’t mix them up. Carl poisoned you and caused the child to be deformed, so this already constitutes the crime of intentional homicide. Therefore, the police must be informed!”

“It’s just a child that I was ready to abort. So what if it was deformed? In any case, I absolutely won’t allow you to call the police to take away Carl!” She returned his gaze with an extremely stubborn attitude.

He exclaimed with an incredulous frown, “So what if it was deformed? What are you saying? Sonia, that’s your child!”

As a mother, was it appropriate for her to say that? Of course, she knew it was not, but it didn’t matter; she didn’t care what he thought. She released his arm and responded coldly, “So what if it was my child? It shouldn’t come into this world in the first place and his existence was a mistake. Furthermore, it was still just an embryo and not even a fully formed human yet, so how could it be compared to Carl’s position in my heart?”

However, although she had said so, there was a stabbing pain in her heart. At this moment, she realized that she in fact cared more about the child than she thought. Since Toby didn’t know what was in her heart, he took a step back and looked at her like she was a stranger. “Okay, even if you don’t care about that child, I do because it’s also my child. And as a father, I can seek justice for my child, right?”

Sonia snickered, “Justice? Toby, didn’t you know I was pregnant a long time ago? At that time, you didn’t behave like this. You couldn’t be bothered as to whether I aborted the baby or not. You were happy for me to proceed with the abortion and didn’t care if I didn’t because you wouldn’t admit it was your child anyway. At that time, you didn’t seem to care about the baby, yet you came to show your fatherly love at this time? Don’t you think it’s too late and hypocritical?”

Toby’s throat was dry. “Is this how you view me?”

“It’s not that I’m viewing you this way on purpose, but that’s what you originally did.” She sneered once again as she looked at him.

There was a dull pain in Toby’s heart. He wanted to say that it was not the case, but he could not seem to say the words at all. Maybe the reason why he couldn’t deny it was because he really was exactly how Sonia had viewed him.

After a long silence, he responded, “Are you really going to let Carl off the hook?”

Upon hearing this, she lowered her eyelids. “Yes.”

“Even if he poisoned you?” he asked again. “You don’t even care?”

Sonia formed her hands into fists. “Yes, I believe Carl’s behavior will change, so I’m willing to give him a chance.”

Everyone had their selfish reasons and she wasn’t an exception either. She even cared more about Carl than the unexpected child. After all, she harbored platonic feelings for him, so she couldn’t send him to prison just like that.

“A chance? Aren’t you afraid he will do this to you again in the future?” Toby stared at her

Her eyes flashed as she pursed her slightly pale lips. “I believe Carl won’t. He did it this time because he is ill.”

She was not going to tell Toby about the illness because that was Carl’s private matter. Anyway, Toby didn’t want to know either and merely gave a mock smile as he lowered his head. “Ill? If what I did to you before was also the result of being sick, would you forgive me as easily as you have forgiven Carl?”

“What are you talking about? You’re ill?” Sonia frowned.

Toby snorted a little. “Sure enough, you don’t believe my words.”

Apart from not wanting to take advantage of her sympathy, the reason why he hadn’t told her that he was hypnotized was because he knew that she wouldn’t believe him. She would only reckon that he had said that on purpose as an excuse for what he had previously done.

Sensing his disappointment, Sonia moved her lips and was about to say something when Toby resumed his usual cool look. Then, he gazed at her before asking, “Sonia, I’m asking you one more time: are you sure you won’t regret letting Carl go?”

“I am sure!” She nodded without any hesitation.

He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them, the look in his eyes was indifferent. “Okay then. Rest well and I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Toby had originally planned to spend the night here, but now he needed to calm down.
