This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 749 Jessica Wants to See You

Deep down, Tom was aware of Toby’s insecurities even after Toby rekindled the old flames with Sonia,

as she still appeared to reject him somehow. Therefore, he believed Toby should probably feel more

uplifted and confident now that he had managed to win Sonia over completely.

As Tom had anticipated, Toby curled his lips upward upon hearing his congratulations. “Alright, that’s

enough. What’s there to congratulate me for? After all, what we did was nothing uncommon,” Toby said

as he barely hid his complacency.

Tom rolled his eyes upward in a speechless manner but still responded with a smiling face. “Of course,

President Fuller.”

“By the way, why did you call up?” Toby asked and continued to say, “I told you I won’t be in the office

today, so don’t bother looking for me for anything because I’ll only be back to look into them tomorrow.”

“I know, but I must tell you this because it’s not about our company’s affair but Jessica.” Tom sounded

serious.

As soon as Toby heard Jessica’s name, he sat up straight and showed a keen interest. “Really?

Jessica?”

“Yeah.” Tom nodded. “I got a call from the police station this morning and was told that Jessica would

like to see you.”

“What?” Toby knitted his eyebrows. “She wants to see me?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you sure Little Leaf is not the one she wants to see?” Toby had no idea why Jessica wanted to see

him because there was nothing personal between him and her. Instead, he reckoned Sonia should be

the one she wanted to see before going to jail.

“I’m pretty sure it’s not Miss Reed she wants to see because that was not what the officer said. In fact, I

was surprised after confirming with the caller because you’re indeed the one Jessica wants to see, not

Sonia,” Tom replied.

Toby pursed his lips. “Alright, I heard you. By the way, did Jessica mention why she wanted to see

me?”

“Yeah, she did.” Tom nodded. “The police said Jessica wants to see you for something about Miss

Reed, so I called to inform you about the matter.” Tom knew Toby would be interested in learning

anything about Sonia, or he would have turned Jessica down on his behalf in the first place.

After all, Jessica had nothing to do with Toby at all, and Tom wouldn’t have mentioned her request to

his boss. However, the situation became different when Sonia was involved.

“About Sonia?” Toby squinted warily. “Did she say what it was about?”

“No, she didn’t, and the police weren’t sure about it either. After all, Jessica’s political rights were not

stripped of her, and she has the right to maintain silence.” Tom helplessly asked, “So, would you like to

meet her, President Fuller?”

Toby grunted in a ponderous manner as he jutted his chin. “Tell the police I’ll be there tomorrow. I want

to hear what that lady has to say.”

“Alright.” Tom nodded and continued to say, “In that case, I’ll hang up the call and leave you and Miss

Reed to it, President Fuller. See you!” As soon as he finished his words, he immediately hung up the

call, unlike his unusual response to end the call only after Toby did that.

Thinking he was doing Toby a favor by leaving him alone with Sonia, he doubted his boss would be

angry with him. After all, he was aware that Toby would be blinded by his affection for Sonia as long as

he was distracted by anything related to her. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about angering him at all,

and as it turned out, he was right about his intuition.

On the other hand, Toby instantly lightened up after hearing what Tom said, despite his initial irritation

toward the latter’s audacity to hang up on him. Well, Tom is still wise enough to choose his words

carefully. Otherwise, he could just forget about the bonus this month.

Toby grunted coldly and put his phone away, getting up from the bed, whereupon he planned to make

Sonia some porridge in the kitchen before waking her up. Although he knew she was tired from what

they did the night before and might hence be reluctant to wake up, he reckoned it was necessary for

her to eat a little something for the sake of her health.

For that, Toby made his way to the kitchen and started getting down to work. With the cooking

experience he had the night before, he found it easier to prepare food, although he only knew how to

make a few simple dishes. By the time he was making porridge, it was already three-something in the

afternoon.

Toby took a look at the time and realized it was about time to wake Sonia up, so he turned off the stove

and took off his apron. When he arrived in the room, he saw Sonia still sleeping soundly, like a log.

Thus, he trod carefully while making his way to the bed, where he sat down and gently shook Sonia’s

shoulder. “Wake up, Little Leaf.”

Meanwhile, Sonia was still in her dream, in which she was happily flying in the sky until a huge palm

appeared out of nowhere and nudged her, causing her to plummet to the ground. It was then that she

woke up from her sleep in fright, screaming out loud while opening her eyes.

At the same time, Toby was awakened by her sudden scream as he was caught in a trance for two

seconds before he asked, “Did you just have a nightmare?”

Sonia blinked and took a moment to calm herself down. Then, she glared at the man. “Yeah, you were

the nightmare!”

Toby speechlessly curled his lips upward. “Why was I your nightmare?”

“You were the nightmare.” Sonia grunted and said, “I was flying in the air until I got dragged down by

someone’s hand. The next moment, I woke up to the fall that felt so real, and this is all your fault!”

Noticing the man’s hand on her shoulder, Sonia was sure that Toby was the one who frightened and

woke her up from her sleep. Whose fault is it if it’s not his?

Seeing her bitter face, Toby was amused by her expression. “Alright. Alright, it’s my bad. Okay, I’m

sorry.”

“Hmph! That’s more like it.” Sonia grunted and chuckled, propping herself up with her arms. However,

she had no memory of what happened the night before, so she sat up straight like she normally did,

only to collapse onto the bed due to her sore body.

As her face turned pale, the soreness on every inch of her body seemed to be reminding her of

something that she had just gone through. At that moment, she stared blankly at the ceiling, her eyes

slowly filled with lust as the memories of what happened the night before, including how she felt, slowly

flooded her mind. Soon, she was able to recall the fact that she intentionally made herself drunk, in

order to muster the courage necessary to help her initiate her intimate approach with Toby.

What have I done? And Toby… He acted like an animal, a machine that could never get tired of

torturing me. “Ugh!” The more Sonia dwelled on that matter, the more she felt angry and embarrassed

about it. Soon, she grabbed the blanket and covered her head, as if she wanted to detach herself from

the world.

Deep down, she couldn’t believe she was the one who got drunk and started everything that happened

after that. What made her even more ashamed was the fact that she provoked and encouraged Toby to

proceed with their intimate moment, so she reckoned it was technically her own fault for what Toby did

to her.

In the meantime, Toby was stunned when she saw Sonia covering herself. Wondering what was wrong

with her, he reached out for her blanket to lift it. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you burying herself

underneath the blanket? Come on, lighten up, and let go of the blanket.”

“It’s none of your business.” Sonia wouldn’t release her tight grip on her blanket, refusing to let the man

lift it while her voice was so muffled under the sheets.

Toby furrowed his eyebrows. “I’m your lover, so whose business is it if it’s none of mine? Therefore,

listen to me and let go.”

While Sonia was still reluctant to let go, Toby eventually stepped up his approach and pulled the

blanket away from her. In that instant, Sonia was left staring at him with her eyes wide open, finding it

hard to believe that he would be this straightforward. “You…”

Noticing Sonia’s blushed cheeks and the embarrassment that filled her eyes, Toby suddenly

understood why she wanted to stay hidden underneath the blanket, as he believed she was feeling shy

about what happened the night before.

“Alright, that’s enough. What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s not like we did something

embarrassing.” Toby tossed Sonia’s blanket aside, keeping his head down while looking at the lady

with a smile.
