Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869 Toby’s Classmate

It was not a joke as Sonia was dead serious about this.

If Toby was still upset with her even though she had tried her best to coax him, then she would definitely be exasperated with him. It would feel like all her effort had gone to waste, so naturally, she would not be happy about it.

Toby picked up on the fact that Sonia meant what she said, so he straightened up and composed himself before shaking his head in response. “I’m not upset anymore. I’m fine now.”

He shot up in high alert as if he were sitting on the edge of a cliff, and Sonia could not help herself from feeling amused by his reaction. Of course, she could tell that he had only said so because he sensed that she was beginning to get a little impatient with him. It was only for the sake of not riling her up, but she had to give him credit for that.

“Since you’re not upset, then show me a smile.” Sonia looked at Toby.

Toby’s lips twitched into a grimace.

She nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. I’ll accept that.”

Frankly, it was not much of a smile at all, but she knew him well enough to know that it was a good effort. He did not like to smile very much; at most, he gave a faint smile or a slight chuckle whenever he did feel a surge of pleasant emotions. If anyone else asked him to smile, then he would not have even attempted to do it at all. However, he was willing to at least try for her sake, which meant that he really did care about her. Therefore, she was happy to accept it.

The atmosphere in the car finally returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all. Since Toby did not bring the matter up again, obviously, Sonia did not either.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the police station. She strode into the lobby hand-in-hand with him and signed their names in the visitors’ log book before one of the policemen arranged for them to see Anya. However, it turned out that they came at a bad time, as Anya was currently in the interrogation room and could not be brought out to meet them.

It was to be expected, and since the investigation took precedence, Sonia was happy to cooperate. Both she and Toby settled into a bench nearby. They were in no rush and were willing to wait until Anya’s interrogation ended.

However, just as soon as they took their seats, a man in a suit walked over to them. Sonia noticed his shadow on the floor, and she looked up to see an average-looking man in glasses smiling at them. While his looks were unassuming, he had a confident air about him that made it seem like he had everything under control.

He gave them a polite smile which would usually leave a good impression, but oddly enough, Sonia did not have a good feeling about him at all. In fact, she felt a little uncomfortable with him. She frowned as she asked, “Who are you?”

Judging by his aura and the luxury brands he wore, he had to be someone of status. Sonia may not have recognized him, but Toby did and his expression was a little grim.

“You’re Anya Steinfeld’s attorney?” Toby spoke up and disclosed the man’s identity before the man could answer Sonia’s question.

“Attorney?” Sonia felt surprised, and she began to scrutinize the man in front of them. So, he’s an attorney, huh. Well, he does look like one. It’s too bad that he’s Anya’s attorney.

No wonder she did not have a good first impression of him. Why would she think favorably of anyone who was involved with Anya?

“Yes, President Fuller. I am Miss Steinfeld’s legal representative. Long time no see, President Fuller,” the man responded with a polite smile that had a hint of awkwardness to it.

Sonia noticed the man’s awkwardness as well as the grim expression on Toby’s face. She was rather puzzled as she asked Toby, “You’re acquainted with him?”

Toby narrowed his eyes and said, “Yeah, we’re acquainted. We went to university together, and he used to head our legal department at Fuller Group.”

Her eyes grew wide after Toby made the introductions.
