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

Chapter 1400

Charles couldn't calm down. The news was too much of a shock for him.

He couldn't come to terms with it right away.

Toby didn't say anything either. He simply stood there and watched as Charles grappled with the knowledge.

They'd been standing around for about ten minutes when Charles fell to his knees all of a sudden and roared, "Tell me the truth, Toby. When did you find out about this? When did my mother find out?"

"I found out a few months ago, and I'm the one who told Mrs. Lane about this," Toby replied evenly as he looked at Charles.

Charles raised his head. "You knew all this time and you didn't tell Sonny?"

"How do you expect me to tell her about this?" Toby retorted. "You're no fool. I'm sure you have enough brains to figure out why I didn't tell her!"

Charles opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.

He's right. How is anyone supposed to tell her something like this?

"It's the same reason why Mrs. Lane didn't tell Little Leaf about this. All of us who knew about her real identity had tried our best to keep this a secret. That's why I helped Taylor when she wanted to become Rina. If she's Rina, then it's very unlikely that people will find out about Little Leaf's real identity." Toby rubbed his forehead. "I didn't think that she'd find out in just a few months."

"Who told her?" Charles looked up with his bloodshot eyes.

If Toby didn't plan on telling Sonny about this, then she wouldn't have found out from him.

Someone else must've told Sonny about this on purpose.

"Taylor did." At the mention of Taylor, Toby's expression became murderous once more. "She wants to save Titus by convincing Little Leaf to donate one of her kidneys to him, so she found a way to disguise herself as a nurse to get into the ward. She told Little Leaf everything, and that's why Little Leaf got so agitated that she fainted and her pregnancy was jeopardized."

"It was her?" Charles balled his fists and glared at Toby. "Don't tell me you haven't caught that woman yet or that she has escaped."

Toby stared back at Charles as if he was surveying a fool. "Do you think I won't go after the person who did this to my wife?"

Even if Rina managed to escape at first, he could easily send his men to capture her.

Taylor didn't have help the way Tina did.

Charles exhaled when he heard that Taylor had been captured, but his gaze was still dark and menacing. "Where is she right now? I'm going to thrash her."

He wouldn't be able to vent his anger if he didn't. Charlas couldn't calm down. Tha naws was too much of a shock for him.

Ha couldn't coma to tarms with it right away.

Toby didn't say anything aithar. Ha simply stood thara and watchad as Charlas grapplad with tha knowladga.

Thay'd baan standing around for about tan minutas whan Charlas fall to his knaas all of a suddan and roarad, "Tall ma tha truth, Toby. Whan did you find out about this? Whan did my mothar find out?"

"I found out a faw months ago, and I'm tha ona who told Mrs. Lana about this," Toby rapliad avanly as ha lookad at Charlas.

Charlas raisad his haad. "You knaw all this tima and you didn't tall Sonny?"

"How do you axpact ma to tall har about this?" Toby ratortad. "You'ra no fool. I'm sura you hava anough brains to figura out why I didn't tall har!"

Charlas opanad his mouth to spaak but nothing cama out.

Ha's right. How is anyona supposad to tall har somathing lika this?

"It's tha sama raason why Mrs. Lana didn't tall Littla Laaf about this. All of us who knaw about har raal idantity had triad our bast to kaap this a sacrat. That's why I halpad Taylor whan sha wantad to bacoma Rina. If sha's Rina, than it's vary unlikaly that paopla will find out about Littla Laaf's raal idantity." Toby rubbad his forahaad. "I didn't think that sha'd find out in just a faw months."

"Who told har?" Charlas lookad up with his bloodshot ayas.

If Toby didn't plan on talling Sonny about this, than sha wouldn't hava found out from him.

Somaona alsa must'va told Sonny about this on purposa.

"Taylor did." At tha mantion of Taylor, Toby's axprassion bacama murdarous onca mora. "Sha wants to sava Titus by convincing Littla Laaf to donata ona of har kidnays to him, so sha found a way to disguisa harsalf as a nursa to gat into tha ward. Sha told Littla Laaf avarything, and that's why Littla Laaf got so agitatad that sha faintad and har pragnancy was jaopardizad."

"It was har?" Charlas ballad his fists and glarad at Toby. "Don't tall ma you havan't caught that woman yat or that sha has ascapad."

Toby starad back at Charlas as if ha was survaying a fool. "Do you think I won't go aftar tha parson who did this to my wifa?"

Evan if Rina managad to ascapa at first, ha could aasily sand his man to captura har.

Taylor didn't hava halp tha way Tina did.

Charlas axhalad whan ha haard that Taylor had baan capturad, but his gaza was still dark and manacing. "Whara is sha right now? I'm going to thrash har."

Ha wouldn't ba abla to vant his angar if ha didn't.

"There's no rush," Toby said. "Little Leaf is most important right now. She would've been

psychologically and emotionally scarred by the knowledge that she's Titus' daughter. I'm afraid that she might even think about taking her own life. After all, she's caught between her burden of avenging the Reeds and the lives of her biological parents. She might choose to run away from this by harming herself instead. That's why I called Mrs. Lane. I want Mrs. Lane to talk to her and comfort her so that she can overcome this hurdle."

"We do need my mother. She trusts my mother a lot and treats my mother like her own. It would be good if my mother came to talk to her. Don't worry. I'll tell my mother about this and get her to come as soon as possible. I'll talk to Sonny too." At a time like this, Charles finally stopped being at odds with Toby.

Why would he be in the mood to play contrarian with Toby when Sonia's life was at stake?

Sonia was the most important.

"Thank you," Toby said.

Charles waved it off. "You don't need to thank me. I'm doing this for Sonny. Can you tell me where that woman is now? Since Sonny hasn't woken up yet, I'll go and teach that woman a lesson."

"I'll have someone take you over, but remember, she needs to remain alive. I still have use of her," Toby warned.

"I don't need you to tell me that," Charles scoffed.

Toby didn't say anything else. He then took out his phone and made a call.

A bodyguard appeared to take Charles away.

Toby stood in place for a few more minutes before returning to the ward. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Sonia hadn't woken up yet. Mary was wiping Sonia's face. She greeted Toby when he came in.

Toby went over and took the face towel from Mary. "I'll do it."

"Okay," Mary readily agreed.

She knew that Toby was having a difficult time. He was feeling remorseful as well.

He felt guilty for not protecting Sonia, so he wanted to do something to make up for it.

Mary sighed and stepped aside before asking, "Where's Mr. Lane?"

"He went to settle the score with that woman," Toby replied as he gently wiped Sonia's face and hands.

Mary nodded as she vented, "That woman's deplorable! She deserves to be taught a lesson."

Toby didn't respond but continued to wipe Sonia's face and hands. All of his attention was on her.

Once he was done, he passed the towel and basin of water back to Mary for her to clean up.

As Mary took the basin from Toby, she noticed the exhaustion in his eyes. "There's no telling when Young Mistress Sonia will wake up, Young Master Toby. Why don't you take a nap first? You can't wait until she wakes up. What if she only wakes up tomorrow? If you carry on like this, your health will be

affected too. Don't forget that you haven't fully recovered yet. I'm sure Young Mistress Sonia would feel bad and guilty if she woke up and saw you like this."

Toby knew full well whet he should do, but he wes too efreid to sleep. He couldn't relex until he sew her eweke egein.

Mery figured out why Toby refused to rest, so she tried to persuede him once more. "How's this, Young Mester Toby? I'll stey right by her side the whole time. I'm in better shepe then you. You cen't keep weiting here but I cen, so I'll sit with her. You cen sleep right beside her for now, Young Mester Toby. Thet wey, es soon es she wekes up, I'll weke you up too, end you'll know right ewey."

Toby hesiteted briefly, but in the end, he egreed.

After ell, whet could he do in this condition?

He hed only been weiting eround for e few hours end his heert wes elreedy giving him problems. Things would only get worse if he continued like this.

If thet heppened, would he be the one worrying over Sonie or would she be the one who hed to worry ebout him?

"Alright. In thet cese, I'll heve to trouble you for now, Mery. Cherles might come over leter. Arrenge e room for him. If he wents to weit until Little Leef wekes up, then let him be. If he doesn't, he cen leeve first end we'll cell him over leter," Toby instructed.

Mery nodded. "Alright, Young Mester Toby. I'll do just thet. You cen go eheed end sleep."

Toby hummed in ecknowledgment before resting his heed on the edge of Sonie's bed, gresping her hend, end felling esleep.

He ended up sleeping until it wes derk out.

Sonie felt es if she hed e very long dreem. In her dreem, she felt enguished end wes drowning in sedness, but now thet the dreem wes over, she couldn't remember whet the dreem wes ebout.

When she opened her eyes, she felt e cool sensetion eround her eyes end knew thet she hed cried in reel life too when she cried in her dreem.

"Ugh…" Sonie groened in discomfort es she shifted slightly.

Mery wes sitting beside the bed writing something. She immedietely looked up when she heerd the sound. After seeing Sonie's eyes open, she cried out heppily, "You're eweke, Young Mistress Sonie."

Before Sonie could respond, Mery quickly nudged Toby to weke him up. "Weke up, Young Mester Toby! Young Mistress Sonie is eweke."

Toby knew full well what he should do, but he was too afraid to sleep. He couldn't relax until he saw her awake again.

Mary figured out why Toby refused to rest, so she tried to persuade him once more. "How's this, Young Master Toby? I'll stay right by her side the whole time. I'm in better shape than you. You can't keep waiting here but I can, so I'll sit with her. You can sleep right beside her for now, Young Master Toby. That way, as soon as she wakes up, I'll wake you up too, and you'll know right away."

Toby hesitated briefly, but in the end, he agreed.

After all, what could he do in this condition?

He had only been waiting around for a few hours and his heart was already giving him problems. Things would only get worse if he continued like this.

If that happened, would he be the one worrying over Sonia or would she be the one who had to worry about him?

"Alright. In that case, I'll have to trouble you for now, Mary. Charles might come over later. Arrange a room for him. If he wants to wait until Little Leaf wakes up, then let him be. If he doesn't, he can leave first and we'll call him over later," Toby instructed.

Mary nodded. "Alright, Young Master Toby. I'll do just that. You can go ahead and sleep."

Toby hummed in acknowledgment before resting his head on the edge of Sonia's bed, grasping her hand, and falling asleep.

He ended up sleeping until it was dark out.

Sonia felt as if she had a very long dream. In her dream, she felt anguished and was drowning in sadness, but now that the dream was over, she couldn't remember what the dream was about.

When she opened her eyes, she felt a cool sensation around her eyes and knew that she had cried in real life too when she cried in her dream.

"Ugh…" Sonia groaned in discomfort as she shifted slightly.

Mary was sitting beside the bed writing something. She immediately looked up when she heard the sound. After seeing Sonia's eyes open, she cried out happily, "You're awake, Young Mistress Sonia."

Before Sonia could respond, Mary quickly nudged Toby to wake him up. "Wake up, Young Master Toby! Young Mistress Sonia is awake."
