This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 20

“Miss Reed, don’t go too far.” Tina was frustrated, but she had to endure it. “My father already apologized to you about the video. Why are you still reluctant to give up? You even want to snatch the marriage proposal necklace my boyfriend gave me?”

Sonia raised an eyebrow and laughed. “You got together with President Fuller a few days after I divorced him. I wonder if you’d been coveting him because you couldn’t wait to be Mrs. Fuller!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You’re obviously the one—”

“And Miss Gray, I have no intentions of snatching anything from you,” Sonia interrupted before Tina could say much. “You’re the one who wants to give me a thank-you gift. I only have eyes for the Ocean’s Heart.”

Tina was rendered speechless. Biting her lips, she stood there as her face grew increasingly pale, like a white flower about to wither.

As he watched on, Charles felt particularly good, and he almost applauded Sonia.

“President Fuller, you have to say something. Don’t be silent,” Charles called out. “Is it possible that you’re not a man of your word?”

Toby’s gaze darkened.

After a moment of silence, he handed the jewelry box containing the Ocean’s Heart to Sonia.

Tina panicked when she saw this, and she pulled on his sleeve. “Toby, this is the necklace you proposed to me with. Don’t—”

“Your father specially organized today’s banquet to celebrate your recovery and discharge. It won’t be good to ruin the atmosphere.” Toby calmed her down. “It’s just a necklace. After this, I’ll ask Tom to find a better one and propose to you with that.”

When the guests heard this, they all became envious. “You’re so blessed, Miss Gray. No matter how rare the piece of jewelry is, President Fuller would have a way to buy it for you!”

After complimenting Tina, they satirized Sonia once more.

Tina’s expression improved when Toby said this, and she nodded obediently. “I’ll listen to you.”

As Sonia listened to their conversation, all she felt was the irony of the situation.

She had been married to Tony for six years. Forget jewelry; he had never even bought her a piece of clothing. Even their wedding ring was bought by her.

Now, looking at how he was treating Tina, Sonia felt like her life was a joke.

Sonia suppressed the sadness in her heart and accepted the jewelry box with a bright smile on her face. “This is such a rare piece of jewelry, yet you’re giving it to me just like that. President Fuller, it seems like you love Miss Gray so much that you can’t bear to let her suffer any grievances at all.”

The woman spoke so enigmatically that it made Toby uncomfortable, so he replied lightly, “I’ve given you the Ocean’s Heart, and President Gray has apologized to you. Sonia, don’t pursue the matter of the video anymore.”

“Okay!” Sonia readily agreed.

She picked up a glass of red wine from the table, then tipped it toward Toby. “President Fuller, Miss Gray, may you live a long and happy life together, and I hope you have plenty of babies.”

With that, she cocked her head back and drank the wine. After setting down the glass, she turned and left.

“President Fuller, I have to thank you too.” Charles grinned. “If it weren’t for your indifference, my baby wouldn’t have come to her senses. Thank you for being so kind as to let my baby go. She deserves the best.”

Charles picked up the butterfly handbag on the table, which Sonia forgot to take, then said warmly, “Let’s go.”

“Let’s go!” Charles held Carl’s shoulders and they left together, all the while complaining, “The air here is too filthy. I’d feel sick if I stayed here for one more second!”

As Toby watched them leave, his brows furrowed, and there was an indescribable feeling of irritability in his heart that wouldn’t go away.

Sonia was a low-key person; it was a surprise that she had such an outstanding suitor.

……

As soon as Sonia got into the car, she closed her eyes and rested for less than a minute before Charles and Carl got in.

“Baby, you did a great job just now. Tsk, did you see the look on Tina’s face? She looked like she wanted nothing more than to eat you up.” Charles got into the driver’s seat, fastened his seat belt, and burst out laughing. “It felt so good watching you that I wanted to applaud you!”

Carl entered the back seat and handed the butterfly handbag to Sonia. “You left it on the table and forgot to take it.”
