Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1225

Chapter 1125

Toby tightened his grip on the phone. If not for the phone being sturdy enough, he might have crushed it!

The Lore Family dared to push Grandma around in her own home? Seems like I've been too lenient toward them to the point where they don't even respect Grandma anymore.

Although Mary did not know what Toby was thinking, she knew that he was exasperated.

"Exactly, Miss Reed. They came to the manor and tried to use Madam to achieve their goals. Now, isn't that just bullying Madam?" Mary stated angrily.

At this point, Toby finally piped up coldly, "What happened, Mary? Tell me everything that happened when the Lore Family met with Grandma."

"Okay, Young Master Toby." Mary nodded before telling them truthfully what transpired when the Lore Family came.

She did not add or twist anything as she retold everything as it was. After all, she was not one who would exaggerate the truth.

Also, what the Lore Family said to Rose was awful enough, so she did not have to emphasize anything to make Toby learn the truth, that they were truly despicable.

After hearing Mary's words, both Toby and Sonia fell silent. They had never thought that the Lore Family would be this shameless to the point of using Rose as the mediator to smooth things over between them.

Besides, not only did they not tell the truth when seeking help, they even twisted the facts! Time and again, they slandered Sonia in front of Rose.

All of these things accumulated served to make them feel more hatred toward the Lore Family.

"I understand. Just ignore the Lore Family for now, Mary. If they come again, don't bother to meet them. I'll handle things from now on," stated Toby with a dangerous gaze.

Mary nodded. "Okay, Young Master Toby. Don't worry. We know what to do."

"Hm. How's Grandma?" asked Toby.

"Madam is fine. Even though the Lore Family acted and spoke shamelessly, I was there with her the whole time, so I rebuked them all the way on behalf of the madam. She was not agitated by them. She's asleep now," comforted Mary while looking at the closed door behind her.

It was then Toby and Sonia truly relaxed.

"It's good that Grandma is fine." Sonia patted her chest. "Fortunately, you were there, Madam Mary. Otherwise, it would have been huge if Grandma was agitated by them."

Toby could not deny that.

She's right. With Grandma's current condition, she cannot take any form of emotional triggers. Otherwise, she might pass away on the spot.

Thinking how the Lore Family nearly cost Rose her life tonight, Toby found himself despising them even more as the thought of cutting ties with them became even more solidified.



"Young Master Toby and Miss Reed, since the Lore Family did not get what they wanted from this visit, they will not give up just like that. They will find another way to resolve the rift between you, Young Master Toby. After all, without your protection, the Lore Family will disappear from the upper echelons of society sooner or later, so you need to watch out for that. They will stir something up for sure," Mary advised them.

Both of them nodded.

"Don't worry, Madam Mary. We'll be on the lookout," stated Sonia.

Although Toby kept quiet, Mary knew that he agreed with Sonia's thoughts.

"Good. Good." Mary relaxed.

The trio then chatted about other things before ending the call.

Yet, Toby still wore a fairly grim expression.

Pouring a cup of water for him, Sonia asked, "Are you still worried about Grandma?"

Toby took over the cup. "No. I'm just feeling guilty."

"Guilty?" Sonia blinked, not understanding what the man meant.

Toby explained, "I always thought that since the Lore Family are the family of my mentor, I should help them out as I had the ability to do so. Plus, with them being financially unstable, it wasn't that hard for me to help them along, since it would not bring much trouble for me either. So, whatever projects or collaborations they needed, I almost never rejected them. Plus, during the first few years they started out, the Lore Family did act in line as they didn't use my name to do anything. That was why I happily put them under my wing to grow. Also, the corporation became bigger years later, so I became busier. In the long run, I didn't keep up with how they were doing."

"This is why the Lore Family are more blatantly arrogant with you not keeping them in check. They started to think of themselves as above all people! In the end, Harry doesn't even respect Grandma anymore, since he called her 'Rosy'," Sonia sneered.

Of course, she did not take a jab at Toby. Rather, it was directed at the Lore Family.

Most people knew that even amongst the elderly, Rose was the eldest. Yet, Harry actually called her 'Rosy'. If this was not considered disrespectful, then what was?

The people who were unaware might think that Harry was Toby's grandfather and that Rose was just somebody.

"That's right. The wrongfulness that Grandma suffered through was because of me." Toby rubbed his eyebrows.

Hugging his arm, Sonia placed her head on his shoulder. "Although you caused it, it wasn't like you did it on purpose, did you? After all, who could predict the future? Nobody can fully grasp a human's true nature. So, you don't need to feel so guilty. I believe that Grandma won't blame you either. If you really can't get over this, then we can pay a visit to the old manor tomorrow and eat with Grandma before apologizing to her. How does that sound?"






































After hearing this, Toby stopped rubbing his tightened eyebrows as he carried Sonia and placed her on his leg.

This frightened the woman, who subconsciously held onto his neck.

Following that, she hit the man playfully. "What are you doing? You scared me."

Toby laughed in a low tone while touching her forehead. "Nothing. I'm just happy. That's why I couldn't resist hugging you."

"What's there to be happy about?" Sonia lay in his embrace.

The man touched her hair. "I'm happy that you're willing to visit Grandma to apologize to her with me. Although I caused this myself, I'm happy that you'd want to share this burden with me."

Hearing this, Sonia let out a smile. "Didn't you say that we're in this together? So naturally, whatever happens, we'll face it together. If it were me, I don't think you'll let me face it alone, right?"

Toby placed his jaw on top of her head, finding her quite right.

"See. You can't say no to that, so why wouldn't I accompany you?" Sonia hugged the man by his waist and closed her eyes. "Besides, if Grandma really got angry, I don't think she would forgive you if you went alone. With me by your side, Grandma might forgive you on account of me being there. I'm also doing this for you."

He laughed subtly. "I'll have to thank you then, Mrs. Fuller."

Blushing, Sonia rebuked, "What do you mean? Don't spout nonsense."

He lifted her chin while gazing deeply into her eyes. "Hm? Am I? Don't you want to be Mrs. Fuller?"

"I…" Sonia found her answer stuck in her throat.

Naturally, she wanted to say no, but she knew that the man would be angry.

Yet, she found it embarrassing to say that she wanted to. I don't wanna sound desperate to be his wife… Ugh. I'm on the fence!

Seeing how the woman was silent, Toby knew what she was thinking of.

Although he was happy that she did not deny this outright, he was also upset at her silence and embarrassment…

Yes, she might be gorgeous with an embarrassed expression, but there were times when embarrassment would cause a headache—like now.
