Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 839

Chapter 839 Underestimated Their Relationship

Sonia had seen that sentence on the Internet and it now flashed across her mind again, as she found it very apt for the current situation between her and Toby.

Of course, Sonia knew that Toby’s current state was not an attempt to seduce her, but merely a result of the spicy food he had just eaten.

Toby could not tolerate spice at all. Just a little bit was enough to make him suffer, and this was an alarmingly spicy dish. Thus, Toby’s present state made it abundantly clear that he was really suffering from the spiciness this time. Otherwise, he would never look this vulnerable.

After all, Toby was always the picture of handsome masculinity. No one had ever seen such a fragile side of him. He looked as if he had been deeply hurt by someone.

Toby continued to be tortured by the spice, and Sonia quickly came back to her senses as she stopped herself from admiring his attractiveness. She briskly poured a glass of water and even got up to grab a few pieces of ice from the freezer.

“Here, have some iced water and you’ll feel better.” Once Sonia added the ice, she swiftly headed back to the couch and handed Toby the glass.

Toby removed the hand that was covering his reddened eyes which were beginning to water. He glanced at Sonia before reaching out for the glass of iced water and readily taking several large gulps.

His Adam’s apple bobbed with each gulp, and Sonia’s lips parted slightly. How dearly she wished to know how it would feel to touch it. But she knew that it was not the time to do such a thing. If she did it, then it would mean that she was trying to seduce this man.

What if she really did manage to seduce him, and they ended up doing the deed right there and then?

No touching, no touching. Sonia warned herself as shook her head and tried to rid her mind of these lustful thoughts. She moved her gaze back up to his face instead.

Once Toby had finished drinking, Sonia took the glass from him first before reaching out with a pair of tissues to wipe the sweat off his forehead. “Are you okay now?”

Toby shook his head and answered hoarsely, “Yes, I feel a lot better now.”

His breathing was indeed a lot calmer.

Sonia tossed the tissues away as she chided, “Really now, you shouldn’t have taken a bite if you can’t eat spicy food. Look at what happened to you just now…”

Just as she was speaking, she noticed how the spiciness had affected Toby. She could not help but chuckle as she took in his reddish lips, flushed face, and reddened eyes, as well as his hair that had gotten all sweaty.

When Toby heard her laughter, he raised his eyebrows. “What are you laughing at?”

Sonia tried to stifle her laughter by covering her mouth. “I’m laughing at you, of course! All it took was one bite for you to become so drained, so isn’t it very funny?”

Toby pursed his lips but did not respond. He too did not expect to have such a low spice tolerance, and that one mouthful was enough to cause him this much pain.

Sonia had also felt the spice, but she was not at all as affected as he was.

He was a man, yet he was not even comparable to a woman.

Sonia could see the self-doubt that was written all over Toby’s face, and once again, she chuckled as she shook her head. “Alright, don’t think about it anymore. It’s normal for people to have different levels of spice tolerance, and you just happen to be one of those who can’t eat spicy food. You don’t have to doubt yourself like that. Why don’t you head to the washroom and wash your face? Oh, and remember to tidy up your hair as well. You were sweating earlier and your hair’s all messed up now.”

She reached out and adjusted his collar as she spoke.

Toby hummed in acknowledgment. “Okay, I’ll do that. You should continue eating.”

Once he finished speaking, he stood up and headed for the washroom.

Sonia stared at the table of spicy food in front of her, and not a single one was without spice. She let out another helpless laugh and commented, “Really now, if he couldn’t eat spicy food at all, then why didn’t he order a few non-spicy dishes for himself?”

Toby was always considerate of her and made choices in accordance with her preferences. Was he not afraid of spoiling her rotten?

She turned and looked toward the washroom before reaching for her cellphone to make a call.

“What would you like me to do, Miss Reed?” A woman’s respectful voice rang out.

Sonia took a sip of water and answered, “Order a few dishes from Executive Dining and bring them over to me.”
