Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171

Sonia didn't think she could finish the soup.

Toby, who was beside her, remained silent. However, he was holding the bowl in his hands as he watched Rose with a look similar to Sonia, quietly protesting.

Not only had he a full stomach, he also found the soup disgusting as he studied it. Even more, it was giving him an impression of sewage water instead of soup.

"I'm not taking no for an answer. You must drink them." Rose's smile dropped from her face, and a serious and stern expression replaced it as she watched them. "These soups are made for you. You can take it slow if you're full. You don't have to rush, but you must finish them."

Mary nodded as she agreed with Rose, "That's the point, Miss Reed. This is for your good. Drinking the soup can nourish your body."

"I don't doubt the benefits. However, I want to know why you made the soup for us all of a sudden?" Sonia asked in resignation.

Toby nodded, eager to learn the truth as well.

To that, Rose answered, "Both of you went overboard last night. I understand if young ones like you can't keep yourselves away from each other for more than one minute, but you need to do it in moderation. You can't risk your health just because you're young. Have you ever thought about your older days? Elders like us are hurt to see the young ones not paying attention to their health, so we decided to step in. That's why we asked the chef to make the soup to nourish your body."

As Rose finished her words, Sonia could feel her mind go blank in a second as her cheeks flushed and her body heated up.

She thought everything was water under the bridge, and both Rose and Mary would spare her the tease.

The two women indeed didn't tease them with words, and they began to worry about Sonia and Toby's health instead.

Moreover, the elderly women even made Sonia and Toby the nourishing soup and urged the duo to finish the soup.

Their considerate gesture was causing a bigger impact on Sonia than a tease, as she felt embarrassed and shy regarding this matter.

At that moment, Sonia grabbed the bowl in her hands as she lowered her head to hide her face. She sat there with a flushed face, but she couldn't even form a reply due to the embarrassment.

Toby raised his brows out of surprise as the corner of his thin lips twitched in disbelief.

Before this, he cast a look at his grandmother to remind her not to mention the matter in front of Sonia, or else the younger woman would be embarrassed.

To his surprise, even though Rose didn't tease them at first, she couldn't help but talk about it when she explained the purpose of the nourishing soup to them.

Toby turned to the woman on his side, who was hiding her face from the others, and a look of resignation emerged on his face.

He wasn't the one to blame in this situation as he already reminded Rose to not mention the topic. Never would he know that she asked the chef to prepare the nourishing soup for them.

His serving of soup kept bothering him, so he lowered his head to study the bowl of soup with an odd smell in front of him. Then, he shifted his attention back to the two elderly women on the other side and began with a low tone, "Grandma, I understand the need to make soup for Little Leaf. After all, she's a woman, and has a physically weaker body."

As he finished his words, Sonia immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Pretending to not notice her, Toby continued as he looked at Rose. "I'm a man, but you still made the soup for me. Do you think I have a weak body?"

In short, he found the existence of the soup before him unpleasant. The nourishing soup was nothing more than a symbol of humiliation to him.

I'm a man! A healthy man, alright? Why would I need this?

To Toby, the soup implied that he was a man with a deceiving appearance in others' eyes. It told the story that he was a strong and tall man by appearance but in fact was physically weak inside. Moreover, it was indicating that his ability to function as a man was being looked down upon.
