Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1182

Chapter 1082

Toby was a smart guy, but his intelligence was always focused on business rather than emotions.

At the very least, he wasn't the type to see through someone else's fondness for another, let alone propose ideas.

But now he could see through Charles' feelings for Daphne, and he could also analyze what would happen if Sonia pointed it out to him directly.

In the past, Sonia would never believe this.

Hence, she reasoned that something must have happened to him that she was unaware of.

Toby let out a light cough as he noticed Sonia pointing at himself and asking doubtfully. "I recently finished a few books. That's why I've noticed Charles acting strangely when he's with your secretary."

"Books?" Sonia asked, her face filled with doubt. "What types of magical books are those?"

"Books about relationships," Toby muttered, returning his hand from his chin to the steering wheel.

Sonia, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow. "Why are you reading them all of a sudden?"

She couldn't understand his actions at all.

Toby's eyes twinkled. A rare desperate expression appeared on his face. "When I walked out of the conference room after a meeting a few days ago, I overheard a few female colleagues ranting about how they like romantic guys but that all of their husbands aren't romantic. As a result, they're fed up with their husbands."

Hearing this, something struck Sonia. Her lips pursed while she responded, "So you also regard yourself as someone who isn't romantic and is afraid that I'll get sick of you, just like how they got sick of their husbands? That's why you start reading those books in your attempt to become a romantic, right?

"No," Toby responded calmly, his gaze fixed on the road in front of him. However, his flushed ears betrayed him.

His voice trembled slightly as well, revealing his guilt in lying.

That made Sonia laugh. "Don't try to hide it; you've already exposed yourself. How did I not realize you were such an insecure person before?"

"Because I lost you once, and I'm afraid of losing you again."

There were many things in this world that if they happened once, they would happen again and again indefinitely.

Losing Sonia once was sufficient to crumble Toby.

How could he endure losing her again?

Sonia kept her smile and sighed deep down as she observed his solemn yet unconfident demeanor. "Don't be concerned; that will not happen."

While saying, she put her hand on his arm in an attempt to reassure him.

In fact, she had never seen him with such a lack of confidence before today.

And he shouldn't have such insecurities, being from the Fuller Family and accomplishing at the age of 30 what most people wouldn't be able to accomplish in their lifetimes.

Such an emotion should never have entered his life.

Toby should be a confident and a high-spirited person. Even if he became conceited, no one would regard that as wrong as he indeed had what it took to be that way.

However, a lack of confidence that should not have appeared on him surfaced as a result of his fear of losing her again.

While Sonia felt all warm and fuzzy inside at that, she also felt her heart ache.

She was the one who transformed this confident man, who was in complete control, into someone who felt insecure.

It was as if she had dragged a high and mighty god from heaven and forced him to suffer in the human world.

Deep down her heart, she was reproaching herself for this.

She immediately lowered her gaze, attempting to conceal the guilt that was visible in her eyes from him.

Knowing Toby, he would be worried if he found out, and he might even wonder if he did something wrong.

He would apologize to her even if he had no idea if he was in the wrong.

Remembering the times how he was anxious over her, Sonia felt a little amused.

She looked at him and responded in the same solemn tone he had earlier, "Don't worry. I won't abandon you as long as you don't betray me. No matter how many women outside want me to leave, as long as you haven't done anything wrong, I will remain by your side."

Hearing that, Toby immediately indicated his double signal and came to a complete stop on the road. Then, in front of her doubtful gaze, he unfastened his seatbelt.

"What are you doing?! Why did you stop the car, Toby? We're on the road! Aren't you afraid that—"

Before Sonia could finish her sentence, Toby approached her and drew her into his embrace. His lips devoured hers as well, and he swallowed all of her unfinished words.

Sonia was stunned and her eyes were wide open as she lost the ability to react.

After all, she hadn't expected him to do this out of the blue.

Of course she didn't expect this. After all, they were on the highway, surrounded by cars.

How could he suddenly stop the car without thinking about the possibility of a collision?

Within seconds, the honking from the cars behind her brought her back to reality. After regaining her composure, she pushed him away and anxiously checked the side mirror to see if there had been any accidents.

If there were really accidents, the two of them would be in a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, she didn't see anything major happening behind her other than a long queue, and she heaved a long breath of relief at that.

"Luckily there was no accident! We'd be in big trouble if that happened, and we'd feel terrible as well!" She shut the window, patted her own chest, and said to the man in the driver's seat, who hadn't started the car but was running his thumb over his lips, looking utterly satisfied.

Toby lowered his hand and looked in the rearview mirror.

All of the cars were urging him to move. The honking continued indefinitely, not pausing for a single second.

He could only imagine how angry the drivers of the cars behind them were, and how irritated they were by Toby who blocked the path.

However, none of them got out of their cars to confront or chastise him in person.

This was because they could all see what a big shot Toby was, based on his car make and license plate number. They didn't dare to approach him—honking at him was already a brave act from them.

"I've already indicated the double signal before I stop. If they still crash into us despite that, they only have their slow reaction to blame," Toby said while restarting the car.

His car continued on its way. When the Maybach began to move, all of the cars behind it began to move as well.

Soon after, the main road resumed its normal traffic.

Sonia rolled her eyes at Toby's words. "How can you blame it on them? You turned on the signal and stopped the car abruptly. Nobody could have predicted it! Furthermore, they were all kinds of drivers back there, both experienced and inexperienced. Those with experience may be able to react in time, but who can guarantee the amateurs will do the same? We are lucky to not have caused any accident, if not for their quick reactions. Anyway, just don't do it again! If we cause a fatal accident, we'll never be able to sleep well for the rest of our lives. Besides, there's a chance they'll crash into us and injure us as well!"

Toby was so taken aback by her harsh words that he realized his actions earlier had truly terrified her.

With that, he extended his hand and stroked her hair. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I will never do it again," he said softly.
