Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1383

Chapter 1283

This was by no means unjustified. After all, she would be betrayed by men, but not her career. Therefore, a sensible person would know which was more important.

Of course, Toby knew the reasonings behind her decision, but he was still agitated by it. He lifted Sonia's chin and looked at her with gloomy eyes. "Do you want to be a female boss?"

Sonia blinked at him dazedly.

Toby asked again, "Do you not want me anymore?"

She blinked again, not daring to say a word. She was worried that he would do something drastic if she reflexively blurted a "Yes".

However, her strategy failed, which meant that her silence didn't help in this situation.

He snorted as he glared at her with a sullen gaze. "You don't want me, huh? Don't even think about it. Since you initially wanted to be with me, you can only think about dumping me in your dreams. Also, don't even think I'll let your words go unpunished tonight."

With that, he released her chin with a displeased huff.

She rubbed her chin and pouted helplessly. Damn. I shouldn't have provoked him earlier. I've just given him more reasons to pester me now!

They were whispering, so Lynette, who sat across from them, couldn't hear what they were saying, but jealousy still burned brightly in her eyes as she watched them being naturally intimate with each other. She glared at Sonia with the resentment of a thousand suns as if she wished she could kill her with her scorching gaze.

Toby happened to see her looking at Sonia with a malicious gaze. At that moment, he wished he could snap her neck right there and then.

"Tob... No, Mr. Toby, you..." Lynette shivered involuntarily as she sensed the killing intent exuding from him. When she met his eyes, she was so frightened that she felt a chill down her spine.

Toby pulled Sonia back protectively so that she stood directly behind him, using his body to block Lynette's vicious glare on Sonia. Then, he looked at Lynette and hissed coldly, "Lynette, listen very carefully. Little Leaf doesn't have my dirty laundry, and she has not threatened me. I married her because I love her, which is the same reason I got back together with her. It's as simple as that, so you'd better keep your ridiculous thoughts to yourself if you know what's good for you."

He loves her... This statement completely shattered Lynette's crumbling persistence.

She had arrived at this conclusion for quite some time, but she refused to believe and accept it. Hence, she kept convincing herself that Sonia threatened him and forced him to marry her. By doing so, she could persuade herself that her assumption was wrong. That way, she could console herself and feel better about her situation.

But now, Toby bluntly said that he had never been threatened in the slightest. On the contrary, he married Sonia because he sincerely loved her and wanted to be with her till death did they part.

"No, I don't believe you!" Lynette abruptly shrieked in despair. "This couldn't be true. How can you love her?!" Tears rolled down her cheeks. She glanced at Toby with utmost sorrow and pointed at Sonia behind him, who had received the love that was rightfully Lynette's.

"Toby, please tell me that these are all lies! You're lying, right? You don't love her. You got back together with her and married her because she threatened you! Tell me! Tell me!" She was wholly worked up at this moment. She even lunged forward, wanting to grab Toby's hand and plead with him. She wanted to convince herself that all of this was not true.

However, he would never give her a chance to harm them. Instead, his face was painted with a disgusted grimace as he embraced Sonia and retreated for fear that Lynette would hurt her. The moment Lynette's teary eyes saw him shunning her as if she was a piece of trash, her heart utterly shattered into a million pieces.

"It's true. I love her." Toby took Sonia's hand, lowered his head to drop a tender kiss on her fingertips, and said gently, "Why would I marry her and get back together with her if I didn't love her? Just because of some stupid threat? Hah, how ridiculous!"

Toby held Sonia's hand in his firm grasp. Then, when he looked at Lynette again, his expression turned aloof and dispassionate. The 180° in his attitude was so apparent that Lynette could feel the lies she had been telling herself unravel. "Who do you think I am? I'm Toby Fuller! Who do you think would have any blackmail on me and use it to threaten me? Indeed, considering my status, many have tried to threaten me, but these people either collapsed miserably or were exiled and never allowed to return without exception. None of them could successfully force me to do their bidding unless I allowed them to do so. So, why would you think that I am a person who would succumb to some nonsense threat?"

"B-Because... Because..." Lynette parted her lips and stammered, but she couldn't complete her sentence.

Toby narrowed his eyes. "Because you're looking for a reason to justify to yourself as to why I want to be with her, a reason to make you believe that I do not love her. That I'm choosing to be with her because of other reasons instead of love."

She felt utterly exposed and seen through once he unveiled her motive. Nevertheless, she found her momentum, stomped her feet, and rebuked, "Yeah, I am searching for an excuse, but you can't say that I'm wrong. You said that you wanted to get back together with her because you love her, fine. You have known each other for six years, so you probably have some feelings for her, but what about the marriage? Did you marry her because you loved her? You didn't even know her six years ago! How do you explain why you guys suddenly got married? It was because she threatened you, right? Don't tell me that you fell in love with her at first sight, okay?! At that time, you loved Tina!"

When Sonia heard her mentioning Tina, she rolled her eyes and then pinched Toby's waist indignantly.

Toby grunted lightly. He knew that Sonia was angry, so he hurriedly grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it to reassure her. At the same time, he glared at Lynette with anger for bringing this up.

He did not love Tina and had never loved her. He had always loved Sonia but thought Tina was Sonia and couldn't recognize the real Sonia due to hypnosis. Because of this, everyone thought that he loved Tina instead of knowing whom he really loved.

Although they had long revealed the truth, they chose not to talk about this past ever again. Both knew that this matter had separated them for six years, and Sonia had suffered a lot during these six years.

He understood that bringing it up would only remind Sonia of the unhappiness in the past and also his ridiculous actions after being hypnotized. Therefore, they only discussed this matter if they had to.

Yet, Lynette had the gall to bring it up, which was akin to tap dancing on their minefield.

"I've never loved Tina." Toby held Sonia's hand, looked at Lynette, and affirmed sternly, "I've always loved Sonia."

At this moment, he did not address Sonia by her nickname but by her first name. That was because when one addressed another by their name instead of their nickname on important occasions, it indicated their genuine sincerity in their confessions.

Although Sonia glared at him as she stood behind him after hearing his confession, she felt sweet and warm inside.

Lynette was utterly riled up at this point. She didn't feel the slightest joy as annoyance and disbelief overwhelmed her.

"What?! You never loved Tina?!" Her eyes widened in shock. "Impossible! How could you not love Tina? You looked so intimate and lovely together! How could you have never loved her?!"
