This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773 Put Her in Her Place

Sonia even reached out to pinch Toby as she said those words.

Toby raised a brow, and he quickly grabbed her hand as he flashed an exasperated smile. “What kind of person do you take me for? I’m not one of those shallow men out there. Don’t worry, I don’t have that big of a heart; it has enough room for you and only you.”

Upon hearing this, Tom shuddered where he stood behind Toby and had to rub his arms like he caught a cold.

Goodness, is this the same President Fuller who wouldn’t crack a smile back in the day? If Tom hadn’t been standing there and listening to all the conversation, he would have thought that Toby had been swapped with somebody else. Honestly speaking, though, President Fuller really is a changed man. He isn’t like what he used to be. Can love really turn someone into an entirely different person?

At the thought of this, Tom tipped his head to the side, looking puzzled. He had been a bachelor throughout his thirty plus years of life and without a woman to call his own, he couldn’t hope to catch up with the likes of Toby and Sonia.

Sonia, on the other hand, didn’t overreact as Tom had and she only thought that Toby’s line was cringeworthy.

However, as cringeworthy as it sounded, it still made her blush and made her heart swell as it skittered from beat to beat. Sure, it’s cheesy, but I loved it.

She shot Toby a knowing look. “I’d say you have good judgment, then.”

Toby laughed, clearly amused by her reaction.

Meanwhile, Anya frowned when she heard his laugh. She couldn’t understand what could be so funny as to make him laugh twice in a row. More importantly, she didn’t remember him having a sense of humor, much less the ability to laugh.

A dark look came into her eyes as she thought, Looks like he went through a pretty big shift in his personality since I last saw him.

“Mr. Fuller…” She looked up and eyed Toby with unease.

He paused his warm interactions with Sonia and turned to look at Anya with a frown. At once, he shed his affable demeanor as he asked stonily in a voice that sent chills running down one’s spine, “What is it that you want to say?”

Next to him, Sonia was appraising Anya with a triumphant look.

Anya wasn’t oblivious to the wicked gleam in Sonia’s eyes, as if Sonia was waiting for her to embarrass herself. She gritted her teeth, but took a deep breath to retain her composure as she responded, “Mr. Fuller, I was going to say, about last night—”

“I thought we were done with it,” an impatient Toby interrupted as he raised his hand to stop her from pressing further. “I’m willing to overlook the fact that you ran the red light and subsequently caused me to meet with an accident because you were in a wheelchair. Now, all you have to do is pay the agreed sum of damages. As for the lack of respect with which you treated my lover, I’m sure my assistant has also told you to make a public apology about it, no?”

“Yes,” Anya muttered with a nod, then looked past Toby’s shoulder at Tom. “Mr. Brown has informed me of the things that I need to do.”

“In that case, what else is there for you to say?” Toby demanded icily, his face devoid of warmth.

She shook her head lamely. “Nothing else. I’m only here to tell you in person that I’m sorry.”

“Didn’t my assistant tell you that I don’t want your apology? You only need to fork out the compensation for my injuries,” he pointed out sardonically, sounding more irritated than he had moments ago.

Anya was about to retort when Tom stepped forward and interjected, “President Fuller, I might not have told her that an apology can be dispensed with, but I’m sure I implied it when I settled on a compensation sum with her; anyone with half a mind could have deciphered it without hassle. I even asked her to leave and never to show up in front of you ever again, but as it turns out…”
