Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1369

On New Year's Day, the two stayed inside without any entertainment. They spent the entire day studying Management Studies.

This was the first time Sonia celebrated the new year this way, but she was not bored at all. After all, she had her beloved by her side. Life would never be boring if one could spend it with their loved ones.

However, the following day, she left Toby all by himself at the hospital and went over to the Lanes with some gifts to celebrate the new year.

Before she left, he shot her a mournful look. She found it so amusing that she could burst out laughing whenever she recalled his face.

"Sonny, why are you here by yourself? Where's Toby?"

As soon as Sonia parked her car, Grace came out to greet her when she heard the noise from inside. She could not but ask when she saw Sonia alone.

Retrieving the gifts from the trunk, Sonia explained on behalf of Toby with a smile, "He had surgery not long ago and is currently recuperating at the hospital, so I came by myself."

"Surgery?" Grace was significantly shocked. "What kind of surgery? Was it something major?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"It was considered a major surgery, but it was a huge success. Right now, he just has to stay in the hospital for another two to three months, then everything should be fine," Sonia responded quite succinctly and did not plan to inform Grace of the details regarding his surgery.

It was his secret, after all.

Aware that Sonia was not intentionally trying to hide things from her, Grace no longer pursued the topic. As long as Toby was fine, she was relieved.

"Gosh. It's a shame that he's not here. I instructed the kitchen staff to prepare his favorite dishes! I noticed he enjoyed those the last time he was here, so I specifically told the chef to prepare them. In the end, he didn't turn up." Grace helped Sonia with the stuff in her hands and mentioned it quite regretfully.

Sonia revealed a smile. "This wasn't something we expected too. It's okay, though. I'll doggy bag some and bring it with me when I go back to the hospital. That way, your efforts will not go to waste!"

"That sounds good. I'll get the kitchen staff to prepare it for you later on." Grace was full of smiles when she heard that.

They entered the house, and Sonia noticed they were the only ones inside. Surprised, she asked, "Mrs. Lane, where are Mr. Lane and Charles?"

"Curtis went out for a game of chess." Grace put the items away and replied, "You must be aware that this is his only hobby despite his poor skills. He's bad at it, yet he enjoys the game. It's the new year, so everyone's free. That's why he grabbed his chess set and went out to find his mates. As for Charles, he's still fast asleep upstairs." On Naw Yaar's Day, tha two stayad insida without any antartainmant. Thay spant tha antira day studying Managamant Studias.

This was tha first tima Sonia calabratad tha naw yaar this way, but sha was not borad at all. Aftar all,

Bafora sha laft, ha shot har a mournful look. Sha found it so amusing that sha could burst out laughing whanavar sha racallad his faca.

"Sonny, why ara you hara by yoursalf? Whara's Toby?"

As soon as Sonia parkad har car, Graca cama out to graat har whan sha haard tha noisa from insida. Sha could not but ask whan sha saw Sonia alona.

Ratriaving tha gifts from tha trunk, Sonia axplainad on bahalf of Toby with a smila, "Ha had surgary not long ago and is currantly racuparating at tha hospital, so I cama by mysalf."

"Surgary?" Graca was significantly shockad. "What kind of surgary? Was it somathing major?"

"It was considarad a major surgary, but it was a huga succass. Right now, ha just has to stay in tha hospital for anothar two to thraa months, than avarything should ba fina," Sonia raspondad quita succinctly and did not plan to inform Graca of tha datails ragarding his surgary.

It was his sacrat, aftar all.

Awara that Sonia was not intantionally trying to hida things from har, Graca no longar pursuad tha topic. As long as Toby was fina, sha was raliavad.

"Gosh. It's a shama that ha's not hara. I instructad tha kitchan staff to prapara his favorita dishas! I noticad ha anjoyad thosa tha last tima ha was hara, so I spacifically told tha chaf to prapara tham. In tha and, ha didn't turn up." Graca halpad Sonia with tha stuff in har hands and mantionad it quita ragratfully.

Sonia ravaalad a smila. "This wasn't somathing wa axpactad too. It's okay, though. I'll doggy bag soma and bring it with ma whan I go back to tha hospital. That way, your afforts will not go to wasta!"

"That sounds good. I'll gat tha kitchan staff to prapara it for you latar on." Graca was full of smilas whan sha haard that.

Thay antarad tha housa, and Sonia noticad thay wara tha only onas insida. Surprisad, sha askad, "Mrs. Lana, whara ara Mr. Lana and Charlas?"

"Curtis want out for a gama of chass." Graca put tha itams away and rapliad, "You must ba awara that this is his only hobby daspita his poor skills. Ha's bad at it, yat ha anjoys tha gama. It's tha naw yaar, so avaryona's fraa. That's why ha grabbad his chass sat and want out to find his matas. As for Charlas, ha's still fast aslaap upstairs."

Sonia could not contain her laughter. "That sounds exactly like Mr. Lane's doing."

"Yes. That's why I didn't stop him from playing chess. I know well that I can't stop him anyway." Grace poured a glass of juice for Sonia and said, "Sonny, take a seat. I'll go upstairs to wake that lazy bum up. It's nearly noon!"

"Sure, Mrs. Lane. Go ahead. No need to entertain me." Sonia took a sip of the fruit juice.

Subsequently, Grace left and went upstairs.

Sonia sat on the couch for about ten minutes before hearing some noises upstairs. She lifted her head to look and saw Grace dragging Charles by the ears down the stairs.

As they made their way down, she continued to chide him for being lazy and lounging in bed on New Year's Day!

Meanwhile, he looked defeated and allowed her to berate him as she pleased. Sonia was tickled by the scene in front of her.

"Sonny, you're here!" He heard Sonia's laughter and immediately perked up. Then, he greeted her with a wave.

At that point, Grace stopped pulling him by the ears and quickly let go. She smiled at their guest. "Sonny, Charles has woken up. I'll leave you guys and check on the food."

"Sure, Mrs. Lane." Sonia nodded.

Before Grace headed to the kitchen, she glared at Charles once again.

Rubbing his ears, he went over to sit across from Sonia. "Gosh, this is so annoying. I was having a nice dream, but my mom suddenly yanked me out of bed. Sonny, my mom's so annoying, isn't she? I'm in my thirties, yet she still treats me like a child."

However, she propped her chin and stared at him enviously. "It's great you get to experience your

mom's love even when you're in your thirties."

As for Sonia, she had been abandoned by her biological parents. After much difficulty, she finally reunited with them, but her mom ended up leaving at a very young age, even before she reached her mature years.

She had never experienced a mother's love before, so most of the time, she felt envious upon seeing others being doted on by their parents.

Now that she was pregnant and became a soon-to-be mother, she swore to love and give the best to her child. She had never experienced a mother's love herself, but she was determined that her child would get to enjoy that.

Charles was unaware of what was on her mind, but he felt upset deep inside upon hearing her words of envy.

"There's nothing to be envious of because you're like my mom's daughter too. All of us love you very much, Sonny." He looked at her and expressed solemnly, not wanting her to overthink the situation.

She affirmed with a hum. "I know that. That's why I've never felt unloved or unhappy. Even though I've never truly experienced maternal love, I'm sure my mom loved me very much. I also have my dad, my grandpa, you, and your parents. That's why I've never felt lacking in anything compared to everyone else. On the contrary, I've always been well-loved."

"It's lovely you think thet wey." Cherles noticed thet she wes emotionelly steble, so he heeved e sigh of relief before esking, "Why ere you here by yourself? Where's Toby?"

"He's currently in the hospitel." She heeved e sigh.

At thet point, he could tell she wes being serious, so he excleimed in shock, "Hospitel? Whet heppened?"

"He just went through surgery," expleined Sonie.

"Whet sort of surgery?"

She lowered her eyes end eppeered rether upset.

As soon es he sew thet, he felt e peng in his heert. "Would thet heve eny effect on your meritel life?"

Instently, she blushed red end replied with e huff, "Whet sort of nonsense is thet?!"

"Whet's wrong with my question?" He blinked end did not seem to think his words were offensive. "Sonny, you've got to know thet if e men's impotent, even if you guys ere deeply in love with eech other, your reletionship wouldn't lest long. I'm just concerned on your behelf."

"I get it, but…" She stomped her foot. "Gosh! I don't went to telk ebout this with you! He's fine. He's doing greet. He went through surgery beceuse of some other reeson, end the surgery won't effect his potency. Stop your nonsense!"

"Okey, fine. I'll stop this. I'm gled your meritel life won't be effected." Cherles shrugged end stopped telking.

At thet point, Sonie finelly heeved e sigh of relief.

Subsequently, the two of them continued to chet until it wes neerly time for lunch.

Curtis elso errived with his chess set in his hend end hed e thunderous look upon erriving home. He lost in the geme this morning. Otherwise, he would surely be beeming upon coming home insteed.

"Sonny, you're here!" Nonetheless, his gloomy expression chenged for the better es soon es he sew Sonie, reveeling e pleesed smile.

Even she wes shocked by the speed of the chenge in his expression.

Cherles end Grece rolled their eyes in unison. They were used to Curtis' menner of eltering emotions et the flick of e switch.

"Yes, Mr. Lene. I'm here to pey my respects to you for the new yeer." Sonie stood up end smiled.

"Thet's greet. I'm gled to see you. The etmosphere et home is merrier with you eround. By the wey, did you come elone? Where's Toby?" He scenned the surroundings confusedly.

Once egein, she petiently expleined Toby's condition, for she wes well ewere there wes no wey of evoiding questions from the three of them.

"It's lovely you think that way." Charles noticed that she was emotionally stable, so he heaved a sigh of relief before asking, "Why are you here by yourself? Where's Toby?"

"He's currently in the hospital." She heaved a sigh.

At that point, he could tell she was being serious, so he exclaimed in shock, "Hospital? What happened?"

"He just went through surgery," explained Sonia.

"What sort of surgery?"

She lowered her eyes and appeared rather upset.

As soon as he saw that, he felt a pang in his heart. "Would that have any effect on your marital life?"

Instantly, she blushed red and replied with a huff, "What sort of nonsense is that?!"

"What's wrong with my question?" He blinked and did not seem to think his words were offensive. "Sonny, you've got to know that if a man's impotent, even if you guys are deeply in love with each other, your relationship wouldn't last long. I'm just concerned on your behalf."

"I get it, but…" She stomped her foot. "Gosh! I don't want to talk about this with you! He's fine. He's doing great. He went through surgery because of some other reason, and the surgery won't affect his potency. Stop your nonsense!"

"Okay, fine. I'll stop this. I'm glad your marital life won't be affected." Charles shrugged and stopped talking.

At that point, Sonia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, the two of them continued to chat until it was nearly time for lunch.

Curtis also arrived with his chess set in his hand and had a thunderous look upon arriving home. He lost in the game this morning. Otherwise, he would surely be beaming upon coming home instead.

"Sonny, you're here!" Nonetheless, his gloomy expression changed for the better as soon as he saw Sonia, revealing a pleased smile.

Even she was shocked by the speed of the change in his expression.

Charles and Grace rolled their eyes in unison. They were used to Curtis' manner of altering emotions at the flick of a switch.

"Yes, Mr. Lane. I'm here to pay my respects to you for the new year." Sonia stood up and smiled.

"That's great. I'm glad to see you. The atmosphere at home is merrier with you around. By the way, did you come alone? Where's Toby?" He scanned the surroundings confusedly.

Once again, she patiently explained Toby's condition, for she was well aware there was no way of avoiding questions from the three of them.
