Chapter 43
“I have announced it in front of the press, so it’s definitely true!” Charles raised his Eyebrow. Til bring some candy over tomorrow to celebrate the good news while sharing it with you too, Daphne.”
“Umm, sure…”
As Charles had always been behaving like
he was joking, Sonia was used to it. She
pushed his hands away in response and
impassively strode into her office.
“Get us a pot of tea and a cup of coffee
with no sugar, please.” He followed her
into her office after instructing Daphne.
“Babe, once you’re done with your work,
can we talk about the takeover of
Continental Co.7 i have just conducted an investigation on ihe company this morning
Meanwhile, Daphne kept her eyes on
Charles as he walked into the office and
she saw the door shut behind him shortly
after he entered. His voice was no longer
audible due to the closed door. Al that
moment, she tightened her grip on the documents in her hands while she had a
forlorn expression on her face.
Sonia’s mind was still in a state of mess
from last night’s fling. She just couldn’t
focus on her work while his words went
above her head. In the end, she was so
annoyed by his chatter that she kicked him
out of her office.
It was only at noon that she was able to finally calm down. I’m divorced from Toby which means i’m currently sigle. Even if ! have a casual fling with a random stranger, It’s not a big deal! The only thing that stumped her was that her tolerance to
alcohol was quite good but oddly enough, that wasn’t the case last night. I threw up in the bathroom last night while being fully
conscious, so how did I end up in a drunken state Furthermore, she couldn’t even
recall how she met that man and
subsequently made her way into his room.
Sonia suddenly realized that she had torn
off that piece of paper on the notepad with
his phone number earlier this morning.
She subsequently took it out of the pocket of her jacket and searched for his phone
number on Messenger.
The other party soon approved her friend request. She immediately flicked a message to him without even waiting for him to initiate the conversation.
Sonia: “We’re both adults, so last night was just a fun thing for us. Let’s forget about it. That would be best for the both of us.”
Sonia: “Successful transfer of 88888.”
Toby was busy taking care of Tina in the
hospital at that moment. Upon hearing the
news of her being rushed to the
emergency room last night, he was
engulfed with worry. He arrived at the
hospital only to be told that she was fine
and had merely injured her forehead with a
slight fracture on both of her legs, so she
had to be hospitalized for a short period of
time.
Tira spon required consciousness. At ihal
mommt, her eyes were rimmed red as she held his hands before she sobbed, “Toby. I’m scared. Can you stay with me?”
Toby couldn’t bear to say no to her, so he arranged for Tom to send Julia home while he himself stayed with Tina. He noticed that Tina’s face still remained deathly pale in the morning, so he had no choice but to
instruct Tom to bring him a laptop. By doing so, he could accompany her while dealing with work in the ward.
It was in the middle of the afternoon when
Toby’s phone had suddenly vibrated to
indicate a notification on his Messenger.
He tapped into the app and realized that it
was a notification for his private number, so he deduced that it was Sonia who’d
added him as a friend before he switched
accounts to have a look. He had only just Approved her friend request and was considering how to bring up last night’s incident when he received her message followed by a transfer of funds.
Toby stared at her message and his brows
gradually furrowed while his expression
darkened. This woman..
All of a sudden, there was a piece of news that popped up on the front of his screen. As he noticed that the news referred to
Sonia, he subconsciously clicked on it to see Charles with his arms around her as
he cleared the air about the rumors of
Sonia and Carl to the members of the
press. After that, Charles overtly
announced his relationship with her and he
even managed to throw in a snide remark
about Toby at the same time.
This piece of news combined with Sona’s drunken words from last night made Toby feel rather frustrated and annoyed,
At this moment, Tina was in good spirits
as she had finished her video call with
Julia. She was just about to ask Toby what
was for lunch when she noticed that he was in a foul mood, his expression was as dark as a thundercloud. She instinctively
clutched at her blanket. Could it be
because of Sonia?
*Toby.” Tina called out to him softly. 1
noticed that you’ve been staring intently at
your phone. Are you quite busy? Why don’t
you head back to work at the office? I’m
fine by myself.”
Toby peeled his eyes off from his phone
upon hearing that. I’m not busy. I’ll keep

“Okay.” Tina smiled. What would you like
to have for lunch7″ Then, she look the initiative to order food and unlocked her phone to do that. At that moment, she accidentally click into the news app on
her phone before she glanced at the
current news. She exclaimed in shock,
“Toby, have you seen the news? Miss Reed
is in a relationship with Charles!”
“Yeah, I just saw that news pop up on my
feed.”

when she insisted on getting a divorce, but
my heart’s now at peace,” she mentioned.
“She has finally found her own happiness
and maybe her wedding might be held

belone ou.”
Meanwhile, Toby’s expression darkened
even further as he was at a loss for words. Suddenly he responded, “Charles isn’t a good match for her.”
Tina was momentarily stunned, but she
soon smiled and replied, “How is thai so? They grew up together. Besides, his mom
has always treated Sonia as her daughter in-law. Charles had previously mentioned
to his bunch of friends that he was just
waiting for Sonia to agree. Even if she
decided to get married on a whim, he
would be there waiting to take her as his
wife.”
“Toby, are you feeling upset that Miss Reed
has entered into another relationship?” she
questioned ainderly, her Dale complexion
making her bok werk and TL
“No.” Toby denied. Whether Charles Suits her or not is none of my concern. Ever since she sent that message asking me to forget
abour last night with no obligation on rtly part to be responsible, then there’s no need for me to care about this.
He made his way to her bedside and
ruffled Tina’s hair with his hand. Then, he
Spoke with a low voice. “Charles is known
to be a flirt. That was just my casual
comment. I married Sonia because of you,
so I have no feelings for her. You’re the
only woman whom I’m concerned about
and appreciate.”
Toby leaned forward to kiss her on the
forehead. “Darling, rest well. I’m sure you
wouldn’t want to attend our engagement
ceremony in a wheelchair, right?”
Upon hearing that, Tina shook her head and muttered, of course not! That would be mortifying. I think I should skip lunch, I’m worried that I won’t be able to fit into any gown if I continue to maintain this Sedentary lifestyle. What do you want to have for lunch? I’ll order some food for
you.”
Meanwhile, he tapped on his phone and
swiftly ordered some lunch. “You shouldn’t
skip your meals. I’ve ordered all of your
favorites.”
*Toby, you must be intentionally trying to
fatten me up so that I’ll be ugly.” Tina
pummeled him lightly with her fists and
her tone of voice was evidently quite
coquettish. At this moment, she leaned
content in his arms.
Actually, she’d woken up in the middle of the night when he was sound asleep. She had attempted to receive the photos from
the other party and leak them to the press. but the opposite happened. Not only did the other party refuse to send the photos,
the said person even refunded the money
fa her. Fortunately, the other audio
recording had caused a stir in Sonia’s life
and Tina realized that she owed her
gratitude to Charles as well.
“Let’s have a look at what you ordered.”
Tina was in good spirits and she took hold
of Toby’s phone. However, when she saw
the dishes that he ordered, her smile froze
on her face. All these aren’t my favorite
fra
odd…
“You must be surprised, huh?” Toby smiled. You were unconscious for many years, but you mentioned all of your favorite items and food in our exchange of letters. That’s why I remembered everything. I know you love mangoes, sol ordered a mango pie too.”
Those letters were burnt to a crisp, so why
is he su obsessed with the contents of
them and mindful of his penpal?! She tried
hard to suppress her jealousy as she
wrapped her arms around him while
mentioning in a gentle voice, “Toby, it’s quite normal for one’s taste and
preference to change. From now on, you
should just take note of the food |
currently enjoy, alright?”
mentioning in a gentle voice, “Toby, it’s quite normal for one’s taste and IfeΓΙΓΜΗ ΤΗ 14ΗΓΗΤΕΣ ΓΓΠΙΙΙ ΠΑΡΑ ΕΠ, γru should just take note of the food I currently enjoy, alright?”
Without a second thought, Toby grunted his approval. Tina was quite content with
his response. At the same time, she lifted
her head to stare at his lips. Suddenly, she reached out to hug him and pulled him toward her as she attempted to kiss him
on the lips.
