Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 910 Something Bad Happened

As expected, Sonia knew that Toby would contact her. Since he had already gotten someone to send these gifts

over, he would surely want to make sure that his gifts were appropriate.

At that thought, she answered the call without any hesitation. “Hello?” “Did you see the gifts?” The man’s magnetic

voice rang out from the other end of the call.

Just then, Sonia sat down on the single-seated couch and stared at the gift bags in front of her before smiling and

nodding. “I did.”

“Do you think my gifts are appropriate? Do I still need to prepare more?” Toby, who was sitting on a vintage

sandalwood chair in the manor, straightened his back and asked.

Sonia felt her mouth twitching a little. “More? Please don’t.”

“Why?”

“Are you seriously asking why?” she cried out. “Are you planning to scare them off by preparing so many gifts?”

“Is it too much?” Toby tilted his head a little. It was obvious that he didn’t feel like he had prepared a lot.

Sonia rolled her eyes. “To you, it might not be a lot, but to people like us, it’s just too much. It’s only your first time

visiting, so you shouldn’t need to prepare so much. Just one for each of them is already enough. Nevertheless, they

will still be happy to receive your gifts.”

After all, anyone would be happy to receive estate-bottled wine and the latest makeup products that hadn’t been

released yet.

Hearing her reply, Toby chuckled. “It’s fine. These aren’t much anyway. Didn’t you say that I should treat them like

my own parents? If that’s the case, I can’t just simply prepare my gifts for them.”

“I did say that… but these are too lavish.” Sonia frowned, but Toby shook his head. “It’s not since I have the

financial capability to do so. Besides, I’d naturally give them the best of the best to thank them for taking care of

you since they treated you so well.”

She was taken aback by his reply. “Are you saying that you did all these to express your gratitude?”

“Yes.” Toby nodded. “They deserve it, after all. If you only treat them as your elders, and they’re only alright to you,

I won’t put in so much effort to prepare these gifts. Instead, I could have just prepared them gifts that I usually give

others. However, since you’ve mentioned that you guys are close because you treat them as your own parents, and

they treat you like a daughter, I can’t be perfunctory as your man. Doing so will make it look like you’re not

important to me. I’m preparing all these gifts to let the Lane couple know that I’m willing to spend my all to make

them happy for you, which indirectly shows how much I love you, and that you didn’t make a wrong decision to get

back together with me.”

He was willing to spend all this money because Sonia was important to her.

Although it sounded superficial, being willing to spend for a partner was a great implication of how much the person

valued their significant other, and that was the truth.

Nonetheless, Sonia didn’t expect the real reason why Toby prepared so many gifts was because of her.

This made her feel warm and giddy all over.

“I see. I guess we will go with these gifts since you’ve already prepared them.” Sonia’s voice took a gentle turn.

Initially, she was planning to get Toby to take some of the gifts back as one gift per person was enough.

However, she had decided that it didn’t matter.

Since he’s doing this to express his gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Lane for taking care of me and wants them to know

that he really cares about me, I can’t disregard his good intentions, can I?

Upon hearing Sonia’s reply, the corners of Toby’s lips curled up. “The gifts are alright, aren’t they?”

“Yes, they are.” Sonia nodded. “If these gifts are problematic, it would be an insult for other gifters.”

Toby chuckled. “That’s good to know. I’ll come over to pick you up at 7.00PM tonight.”

Sonia hummed in acknowledgment. “Alright. I’ll be waiting for you in the lobby. By the way, are you still at

Grandma’s place?”

“Yeah.” Toby nodded. “Grandma is taking an afternoon nap right now, so I’m waiting for her to wake up.”

“I see. I thought that you have already returned to Fuller Group.” Sonia reached out for the teapot on her coffee

table before pouring herself a cup of tea.

The tea had already gone cold, and it tasted slightly bitter.

Sonia placed the cup back onto the table with a frown and didn’t drink from it anymore.

“I’m not returning to the Fuller Group today. I’ll head to Paradigm Co. to pick you up after my discussion with

Grandma,” Toby replied gently while Sonia smiled. “Well, since Grandma is not awake yet, why don’t I accompany

you if you’re bored?”

Immediately, Toby straightened his back, and his gaze brightened. “Sure!”

He’d be a fool to reject Sonia, who offered to accompany him.

Noticing the excitement and happiness in the man’s voice, Sonia couldn’t help but laugh.

The two of them continued chatting about everything from the gifts to worrying job matters before they started

gossiping about Charles and Daphne.

Nevertheless, Sonia was mostly the one doing the talking while Toby listened and chimed in to give some

suggestions occasionally.

Unknowingly, they had already been on call for about two hours, and the time now was 5.00 PM.

Sonia had barely gotten any job done in her office during the entire noon as she had been consoling Daphne and

talking to Toby.

Staring at her desk piled up with documents, she felt like crying at the thought that there would be more

documents on her desk tomorrow.

Nevertheless, she didn’t regret talking to Toby for the entire noon and disregarding her job as none of these

documents were urgent or important.

If that wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t have spoken to Toby on the phone for so long as she still had her priorities well

sorted.

“President Reed.” Right then, the door to her office was opened, and one of Daphne’s assistants appeared at the

entrance of her office with an anxious look. “Something bad happened.”

Seeing how anxious the assistant looked and the fact that they didn’t even bother knocking, Sonia knew that

something really bad must have happened.

Immediately, she couldn’t care less about Toby anymore as she placed her phone down and asked with a stern

expression, “What happened?”

The assistant huffed for air to calm himself down before quickly replying, “The factory that we are working with said

that the supplies that we ordered got stolen by another party.”

“What?!” Sonia stood up abruptly. “Who did it?”

Although Toby couldn’t hear the assistant’s voice clearly from the other end of the call, he could still vaguely hear

Sonia’s voice.

Upon sensing the shock and disbelief in her voice, he frowned. “Sonia, what happened?”

Nevertheless, Sonia didn’t answer him as she had already placed her phone on her desk and couldn’t hear him.

Then, she moved away from her desk and headed to the assistant. “How could it get stolen? We customized those

supplies and paid a deposit. All that’s left is the final payment after getting our supplies. Our company’s logo had

been literally printed on those supplies, so who would take them away? What about the factory? How dare they give

away our supplies when we already signed a contract with them?”

The assistant smiled wryly. “They really did it, though. Just now, we received a call from the factory saying that they

had already shipped our supplies to the other party. They knew that they were in the wrong for breaking the

contract and are willing to pay double for our liquidated damages.”
