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

Chapter 1114

Sonia heaved a sigh and waved at him. "Whatever. Let's just have dinner. I'm hungry."

"Then, after dinner, you'll have to let me continue this." Toby cupped her face with both hands and looked at her. He

was worried that she was going to change her mind.

Sonia lifted her head with a resigned look in her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, sure."

She admitted defeat this time because she was the one who had said the wrong thing.

If she denied things and refused to agree, he would definitely pester her incessantly until she gave in, based on his

stubborn spirit. Therefore, she might as well go along with it.

After all, she was no longer as shy and resistant as she used to be. She could now calmly agree to his request for

pleasure.

Furthermore, he was indeed skillful; though she would always end up with a sore back, she undeniably enjoyed it

very much as it was a pleasurable experience.

That was why even up till now, she was secretly tempted each time he requested some intimate time.

Ahh! This is shameful! I should stop thinking about all this! At that point, Sonia flushed bright red.

Toby, who was cupping her face, could feel the warmth of her face on his palms.

He let go of her face and noticed that her face was indeed flushed bright red, so he could not help staring

dumbfounded for a few seconds. "What's going on in your mind? Why is your face so red?"

Like I would tell you! I ain't letting you get cheeky with it!

She lowered her head and quickly turned to the other side as she dragged out a chair in front of her to take a seat.

"It's not important. Let's eat. Why do you keep dragging things?"

Although Sonia tried her best to mask her shyness and refused to tell him what was on her mind earlier, he knew

that she must have blushed bright red because she had suddenly thought of something illicit. However, he was not

sure of the extent of it.

As Toby realized that, he walked over and took a seat across the room from her.

Sonia heard his chuckle and she felt that he seemed to be aware of what was on her mind. Awkward, she quickly

grabbed her utensils and tried to mask her emotions by stuffing herself.

Toby's smile deepened as soon as he noticed her reaction. He was just about to say something when his phone's

ringtone cut him off.

With a frown, he clearly looked unhappy to get a phone call from someone at this moment.

In the end, he put down his fork and knife and took the phone into his hands.

As soon as he saw the name displayed on the caller ID, his eyes narrowed and the air around him seemed to turn

still.

As soon as Sonia saw that, she could no longer be bothered about her shyness or awkward feelings, so she put

down the utensils in her hand and expressed concern, "Who's on the line? Did something serious happen?" Why

else would he suddenly reveal such a scary expression?

Toby shook his head slightly. "Nothing major happened, but this is because of the person on the line."

As he spoke, he handed over his phone to Sonia and showed her the identity of the other party.

As soon as Sonia noticed the name assigned to the number, she noticed that it was 'Mr. Lore' displayed on the

screen, so she instantly understood why he had given such a huge reaction. The person on the line was Lynette's

grandfather, Harry.

"Your mentor must have called at this time of the day because of the situation on the internet. Take the call. I

wanna know what he has to say about that." Sonia put down her utensils as she leaned back on her chair and

looked at Toby.

He shot a look at her with a frown on his face and he seemed to be hesitant whether to share the conversation with

her.

After all, Toby was not sure whether Harry would repeat the words that he had said to him at the office earlier. If

Sonia heard those remarks...

"Answer the phone," Sonia reminded him once again upon noticing that he had not reacted. "If you don't answer

the phone right now, then he's going to hang up soon. Do you intend to return the call? If you do so, then he would

definitely assume that you're not bothered about the incident."

That was true. If he ignored the other party and refused to make contact with them, then this would signify to the

other party that he was indeed angry. However, if he chose to make contact with the other party, then that would

be an indication that he was after a truce. As such, Harry would definitely behave even more presumptuously.

"I won't take the call, then." Toby kept his phone and rejected Harry's phone call. "There are some things that don't

you don't need to listen to because it would only make you upset."

"So, are you saying that Mr. Lore has been badmouthing me?" Sonia lifted her brows questioningly.

Meanwhile, Toby put his phone aside. "Mr. Lore dotes on Lynette very much. This incident was clearly intentional

sabotage by her, but even if Mr. Lore knows that Lynette's at fault, he wouldn't actually reproach her for that. He

would just blame you for exposing his granddaughter's misdeeds, so this phone call here would definitely be to

besmirch your name and ruin my good impression of you."

"It looks like you know him quite well." Sonia smiled.

Toby lowered his eyes. "Previously, I wasn't too, but right now, I am totally familiar with his ways." He was serious

about that as prior to today, Toby had always thought of his mentor as a kind and friendly old man.

Yet after the conversation that he shared with Harry in the morning, as well as the incident on the internet, he

finally realized that everything he assumed was merely an assumption on his part. In reality, his mentor was ugly

and despicable. This was also a clear indication that Toby did not know his mentor well at all in the past. That was

also why now Toby felt that there was a significant discrepancy upon seeing his true colors.

"Come to think about it." Sonia leaned forward and put her elbows on the table as she supported her chin with her

hands and looked at him. "How did you end up with Mr. Lore as your mentor? After all, you should realize that

someone like Mr. Lore, who's unfair and blindly supportive of his granddaughter, isn't someone with great values.

How did you end up picking someone like that as your mentor? I don't get what was on your mind back then."

"If I could turn back time to ten years ago, I obviously wouldn't choose him as my mentor." Tony lowered his head

and explained calmly, "I entered university when I was fifteen, and then I did my doctorate right after that."

He was pretty nonchalant about tilings, but Sonia was ashamed of herself upon hearing his words. The stress is

getting to me. He's a doctorate student who gained a spot right after graduating. She was merely an

undergraduate and she found it tough to even obtain a research position. However, this man in front of her not only

held a doctorate, but he had completed several. There was a stark difference in their educational background.

Sonia revealed a forced smile as she was secretly envious of his intelligence. "What happened after that?"

"I joined university and had to inherit Fuller Group, so I then mastered the subject of economics. That's why I went

to the school of economics to seek an economics professor to be my mentor. Back then, there were two famous

economics professors in the school; one of them was Professor Randall while the other was my current mentor. I

actually chose Professor Randall to be my mentor, not Mr. Lore."

"So how did Mr. Lore end up as your mentor then? There should have been a mutual agreement for both the

mentor and the mentee to pick each other, right?" Sonia blinked her eyes out of curiosity.

Toby took a sip of wine that he had just poured from a bottle. "Yes, there should've been a mutual agreement for

both the mentor and mentee to pick each other. I met up with Professor Randall once to have a chat and we were

both happy with each other. He had actually agreed to accept me as his protege and we even picked a date to

officialize things. However, before we completed the process, something bad happened to Professor Randall."

"Something bad?" Sonia was in shock. "What happened?"

"Professor Randall slipped on a banana peel on his way back to his office to get some documents. He hit his head

on the ground and passed away on the spot. That's why I didn't manage to become Professor Randall's mentee and

ended up choosing the second option—Mr. Lore. Although Mr. Lore wasn't my first choice, he had always been

diligent and responsible while he was my mentor. I have to give him credit for the doctorate I obtained in

economics, so that's why I've always been very respectful toward him."
