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

Chapter 1402

The irony wasn't lost on Sonia.

She and Zane were the ones who found Taylor and sent her to the Grays to be their spy.

Yet, in the end, she didn't get an informant but an enemy instead.

It was an enemy that she created for herself!

Taylor's existence alone was enough of a mockery to Sonia. Whenever she saw Taylor, she would be reminded of just how blind she was for creating an enemy for herself.

That was why she tried her best to keep Taylor out of mind and out of sight.

However, it was her husband who had contact with Taylor and secretly helped Taylor without her knowing about it.

But she's my enemy!

Sonia's eyes were reddened. Toby took a piece of tissue to wipe her tears for her, but Sonia turned away from him.

Toby had no choice but to stuff the tissue into her hands before saying, "I know you're hurt, darling, but I did it for your sake."

"For my sake?" Sonia scoffed. "You helped my enemy, but you're telling me that it's for my sake?"

"Yes! I did it for you!" Toby firmly declared. "I wouldn't have gotten involved at all if you weren't Titus' biological daughter. I wouldn't have helped Taylor in any way. However, you are his daughter, so that's why I helped Taylor. I didn't want you to find out about your true identity, so I needed Taylor to be Rina. That's the only way to keep your true identity from coming to light. Everything went according to plan so far, but I didn't think that Titus would suffer from severe kidney failure and Taylor would expose your true identity to you in the hopes of saving him."

That was his mistake.

Sonia clenched her fists. "This means you knew about this a long time ago, right?"

Toby pursed his lips and acknowledged that. "I only found out that you're the real Rina Gray when Taylor removed the mole on your wrist. That's when I decided to help her. Since she wanted to be Rina, I made it possible for her. I would've helped anyone in that position, not just her. Anyone could be Rina, as long as it wasn't you."

"Is that why you can ignore my wishes and hide everything from me? Is that why you can give my identity to someone else and let that person replace me?" Sonia stared at him mockingly.

Toby frowned. "I had no intention of allowing anyone to replace you. To me, you're Sonia Reed, not Rina Gray. Even if you were Titus' daughter, I didn't believe that you'd become Rina. That's why I did this. You wouldn't have been able to stay calm and take your revenge if I told you everything from the start. Trust me, Little Leaf. I did this for your sake."

"I don't want to hear it." Sonia closed her eyes. "All I know is that you helped my enemy and hid everything from me, so please get out right now. I want to be alone."

"Little Leaf…"

"Get out!" Sonia pointed at the door.

Worried that she would get even more emotional, Toby sighed helplessly and took one last look at her before turning to leave. "Fine. I'll leave and let you calm down by yourself. I know you'll realize why I did this, and when that happens, you'll know that I did it for your sake."

Initially, he wanted to come right out and say that he couldn't tell her this sooner because he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it and might end up doing something foolish.

However, he knew that she was still caught in the turmoil of the discovery earlier today. If he said that to her, it would only be an even greater blow to her.

Just be patient.

Toby rubbed his forehead and left the room.

Charles and Mary heard the door opening and quickly checked to see what was happening.

When Mary saw Toby coming out, she immediately asked, "How did it go, Young Master Toby? Did Young Mistress Sonia forgive you?"

Toby shook his head. "No. She has a lot going on in her head right now and she refused to listen to my explanation. She chased me out of the room. I figured that it'd be good to leave her alone for now. Maybe she'll come round."

Mary nodded. She figured it was the best thing they could do now.

On the other hand, Charles voiced his disagreement. "Even though Sonny will eventually come round, who knows how long it'll take? It won't be good for her and the baby if she continues feeling upset. I think it's better if you talked things through with her as soon as possible. Otherwise, she'd stubbornly focus on the fact that you helped her enemy and wouldn't be able to overcome her emotional hurdle. She wouldn't be able to realize that what you did was for her own good."

"Mr. Lane has a point," Mary commented.

Toby's eyes narrowed.

"Are you saying that I should go in and tell her the real reason why I hid her identity from her?"

Charles rolled his eyes. "Sonny kicked you out, so it's obvious that she doesn't want to see you for now. There's no point if you go in. You'll just get chased out again. Someone else should go in."

"Are you referring to yourself?" Toby frowned.

Charles stood up straight. "Who else is here right now? Yes, Madam Mary could go in, but she doesn't know much and she won't know the right things to say to comfort Sonny. It won't work as well."

Mary nodded in agreement.

Charles continued, "My mother could do it too, but I got in touch with her and she said my father fell down this afternoon. He injured his back, so my mother has to attend to him. She can only come over

tomorrow. This means I'm the only person here now who can console Sonny, right?"

Toby had no retort.

In the end, he agreed to let Charles talk to Sonia.

After all, Charles' analysis struck a chord with him.

He only thought about letting Sonia calm down. He knew she was wise and was only blaming him for what he did because she was furious and hadn't had the presence of mind to reflect on the reason behind his actions.

That was why he figured that giving her some alone time would be enough for her to think things through herself.

Nevertheless, he didn't consider when she would be able to do that. It would be good if she could do it sooner rather than later, but if she fixated on the fact that he helped Taylor, then she wouldn't be able to get over the situation anytime soon.

If her negative emotions continued to fester inside her, both she and the baby would suffer.

"I'm going in then," Charles said to Toby as he dusted himself off.

Toby looked at him. "If you're able to help me advise her, then I owe you one."

Charles snorted. "You already owe me a lot for taking Sonny away from me. You'll never be able to repay me for that, so what's the point of saying this now? The only way you can make it up to me is by

taking good care of Sonny, protecting her, and cherishing her."

"I'd still be doing those things without you telling me to," Toby retorted coolly.

Charles scoffed and entered the room.

Once the door closed behind him, Mary smiled. "Mr. Lane has a good heart."

Toby didn't disagree.

Even though he found Charles rather annoying, he knew that Charles was always reliable when the situation involved Sonia.

"We'll just have to wait and see what happens now." Toby massaged his temples and sat down on the chair nearby.

Hopefully, Charles will be able to convince Little Leaf.

Marry nodded. "That's right. There's no point in us fretting over it now. We'll just have to trust Mr. Lane."

Inside the room, Sonia heard the sound of footsteps and assumed it was Toby who came in, so she closed her eyes and shrieked, "I told you to get out, didn't I? Why did you come back in?"
