Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076

"What do you mean?" Sonia instinctively straightened her figure. Was there an argument during his meeting with Harry? That doesn't make sense. After all, he's Harry's favorite student, and he has always respected Harry as a teacher. So, I don't think they have a reason to be unhappy with one another. But after thinking about her conversation with Charles earlier, Sonia felt like she could guess Toby's answer.

"Did the conversation go bad because of me?" Sonia gazed at Toby as she parted her red lips to speak at a slow pace. Toby was silent for a while. "I knew it." The corner of Sonia's lips curled oddly, and no one could tell if she was happy or sad. Her response sounded pretty neutral. After all, Harry was Toby's teacher, not hers; Harry wasn't related to her in any way. So, she didn't really care if Harry liked her.

"What did you guys talk about?" Even though Sonia didn't care about what Harry thought of her, she still wanted to know what she did, which led to their miserable conversation. Toby knitted his brows—he looked as if he didn't want to answer her for a moment. Charles rolled his eyes at this. "Hey, Toby, why can't you just be honest? What's wrong with telling us these things? You should say it aloud, especially since this has to do with Sonia. How did she get your teacher mad? Your teacher wouldn't dislike her for no reason, right?"

Sonia didn't say anything, but Toby could tell that she was curious, so he ended up telling her what he and Harry had talked about earlier that day. Toby didn't tell her the whole story—he simply gave her a summary of what happened. He even changed how Harry phrased certain things to ensure that Sonia wouldn't feel any discomfort after hearing his words. After all, Harry had been rather harsh with his words. Even though Toby was well-intentioned, the way he changed certain words made his whole story sound rather stiff and made-up. So, Sonia quickly realized that Toby hid parts of the story from her.

Judging by the way he spoke and the guilty expression on his face, Sonia could easily guess that Harry had been talking badly about her. She curled her lips into a sarcastic smirk. "It's such a hassle for someone as well-known as Harry to bother himself with some nobody like me. He didn't just pay attention to me; he even developed a thorough understanding of me just to show that I'm no match for you at all. It must have been tiring for that old man to do so much work," she said in self-deprecation.

Toby was unhappy after hearing the way that his girlfriend spoke of herself. He quickly reached his hands out to turn her face so that she was looking into his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense! There shouldn't be any comparisons between the both of us. To me, we're both on the same level. I've clarified this to my teacher, so you don't have to worry about what my teacher said. I'll never take his words seriously," Toby uttered.

"Hmph. How can we tell if you're being honest?" Charles pursed his lips. Toby turned around to look at him with an icy glare. If you say one more word, I'm going to kill you right here, Toby's eyes said. Charles seemed to get the message from the hateful look in Toby's eyes. Charles shrank away when he realized that his words had triggered Toby, and he no longer dared to say anything else after that. Toby let go of Charles after that. All along, Toby tolerated Charles' provocative words only because of his relationship with Sonia and the Lanes. However, Toby simply couldn't allow Charles to target his relationship with Sonia.

Charles had every reason to be grateful right then. Thankfully, I spoke in a joking tone earlier. I'm glad I wasn't trying to stir a fight between Toby and Sonia. Toby wouldn't have let me go so quickly otherwise!

Naturally, Sonia noticed the hateful look that Toby flashed at Charles. She understood the reason for Toby's actions and sighed before shaking her head in Charles' direction. You should watch your mouth in front of him, she mouthed to Charles. She understood why Toby was so triggered—anyone would feel annoyed if there were another person around them who constantly went against their opinions. This was incredibly frustrating when one was trying to show his genuine love and care to the other part. So, it wasn't surprising that Toby felt the urge to murder Charles right then.
