This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 181

Before, it was always Sonia who stood there and watched him leave. He always knew, but he had never once looked back at her.

And now, it was finally his turn to stand in place and watch her leave.

As it turned out, it could be so upsetting to watch someone leave without even being spared a backward glance or a response.

Toby lowered his head slightly and stroked his chest, which felt bitter and slightly tingling.

In the parking lot.

Sonia and Charles arrived at their car.

Charles opened the car door and said, “Darling, do you think something is wrong with Toby? Why did he come all the way here to apologize to you personally?”

“Only God knows,” Sonia replied uninterestedly and ducked her head to get into the car.

Charles also got into the car at the same time. “I really couldn’t understand what this man was thinking.”

Sonia smiled. “If you could read his mind, your achievements today would be the same as his. Alright, let’s drive. Otherwise, Mrs. Lane will call and ask us why we haven’t arrived yet.”

“Fine.” Charles nodded and started the car.

On the way, Sonia’s cell phone rang all of a sudden.

She opened her eyes, took her phone out, and looked at it with a somewhat surprised look on her face.

Charles caught her expression and asked hurriedly, “Who is it?”

“It’s Carl!” Sonia answered the call after replying.

As soon as Charles heard that it was Carl, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

“Hey, Carl!” Sonia yelled into the phone with joy.

Carl’s gentle voice spread through the phone. “Sonia, do you have some time to spare in a few days?”

“I think so… What’s the matter?” Sonia asked.

Currently, she had taken over half of the management power from Asher, and her right to speak in Paradigm Co. had gotten much higher now. She didn’t have to do a lot of things by herself; instead, she could order her subordinates to do it in her stead.

Therefore, she could make time.

“My work abroad is coming to an end. I plan on returning home in a few days, and I was thinking of having a meal with you,” Carl replied with a smile.

“Sure. Thinking back, you’ve been on a business trip for two months now—it’s about time for you to be back already. Alright, call me when you’re back; I’ll pick you up at the airport then.” Sonia agreed to his invitation.

“Okay,” Carl answered, and then squinted his eyes. Although his voice was still gentle, there was a hint of coldness in his tone. “Sonia, how have you been doing in the past two months? Did Tina and the rest bully you?”

When he had just started his business trip, he was not that busy with work, so he could pay attention to the news to see what was happening in the country.

However, when he got busier later on, he didn’t have much time to pay attention to the news anymore—so he couldn’t tell if Tina and the others had bullied Sonia.

“I’m fine. As for Tina and the others…” Sonia’s smile faded a lot. “Don’t worry. You know I’m someone who always bite back, so they had what was coming to them.”

“Based on what you said, it means they really did bully you, right?” Carl lowered his eyelids to cover the chill in his eyes.

Sonia smiled. “Hey, now. Didn’t I tell you I am not easy to mess around with? So don’t worry, and know that I am fine. By the way, isn’t it still nighttime on your side of the globe? Go and rest up!”

Seeing that she didn’t want to say any more, Carl didn’t push it any further. He twitched the corner of his mouth and showed an eerie smile. “Okay. I’ll hang up first, then. We’ll talk more when I see you in a few days.”

“Okie dokes. See you in a few days!” Sonia nodded.

After the call, Charles asked, “Carl is coming back?”

“Yeah. In a few days,” Sonia put away her phone and replied.

Charles coughed and continued, “Carl seemed to be asking if Tina and the rest had bullied you. Am I right?”
