Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 Making Her Angry

“Okay, go ahead.” Charles waved his hand.

Sonia returned to her room and gathered her clothes before heading to the bathroom. Then, Charles walked to the couch and sat down, thereafter taking the remote control to turn on the TV. He decided that he would watch TV while waiting for her to emerge after her shower. After waiting for almost 10 minutes, he finally saw her coming out. Her hair was still wet from her shower and her cheeks were red. She was even in a daze, which caused him to have some thoughts about her.

His gaze darkened a little and he couldn’t help but whistle. “Baby, are you trying to tempt me by coming out like this?”

She rolled her eyes at him. “How am I tempting you?”

“Are you not tempting me? You’re fresh out of the shower. Don’t you know that to a man, this is considered a fatal temptation? Baby, do you—”

Before Charles finished his words, Sonia had whacked him on the head with a doll, which caused him to fall onto the couch a grunt. Then, she clapped her hands. “Quit your nonsense! All right, I’ll head to my room and blow dry my hair while you continue to watch TV.”

After saying that, she opened the door and went into the room. He rubbed his forehead and sat up with gloom as he looked at the closed room door. It seemed that she still didn’t understand his feelings; it wasn’t as if he never hinted at her before that he had treated her more as a best friend. He wanted to have her as his beloved woman, but she never understood his hints. She always thought that he paid lip service and flirted with her only because he was joking around.

Of course, Charles had himself to blame for the cause of this situation because he never directly told Sonia that he fancied her. He lacked the courage and was too cowardly to do so. He was always worried that if he confessed his true feelings for her, they might not be able to remain as friends anymore. His mother noticed his concern and advised him to be brave enough to spill the beans in exchange for being together romantically—even if it meant the possibility of losing Sonia as a friend. Yet, he still couldn’t bring himself to do it. Maybe that was why even though he was the first to meet her and spent the most time with her, she eventually fell in love with another man. However, if he had been braver and bolder, would he have had a different ending with her altogether?

“What’s on your mind?” Sonia’s voice shattered his deep thoughts.

Charles’ eyes flickered for a moment before he shook himself to the present. “Nothing.”

He smiled and looked toward her. Her hair was now blown dry and styled into a bun on top of her head while she wore light makeup. She was in a casual outfit and didn’t look like a mature lady of twenty-six, but she resembled more like a fresh college graduate.

“You look beautiful in this.” He turned off the TV and stood up to compliment her.

Sonia laughed. “Do you mean to say that my usual clothes don’t look perfect on me?”

“That’s not true. I just wanted to say that your attire today makes you look a lot more approachable. Your usual style gives off an aura of a strong and capable woman,” Charles commented as he shoved his hands in the pockets of his pants.

“I can’t help it.” She lifted her purse. “My looks are soft and not intimidating enough, so I can only exercise an effort into my clothes to make myself look dominant. Otherwise, I can’t control the people in the company.”

“That’s true.” He nodded.

“Well, let’s go.” With that, she turned around and was about to pull the suitcase when Charles extended his hand.

“I’ll do it,” he offered.

As a result, Sonia allowed him to take the suitcase. The two of them then drove directly to the toll plaza on the turnpike out of the city after leaving the house. Her phone rang a short while later and she took it out, only to be surprised that the call was from Toby.

Charles noticed it from the corner of his eye and asked, “Who is it?”

“Toby.” She didn’t hide the device and allowed him to take a look instead.

Then, he pursed his lips before replying, “What is he calling for?”

“I’m not sure. I won’t know until I answer it.” With that, she answered the phone.
