Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Looking for a Companion

Toby raised his phone as high as he could. He was sitting on the bed, so he was naturally in a higher position compared to Sonia. With a raise of his hand, the phone went completely out of reach.

Sonia couldn’t even touch his hand, much less grab the phone. In the end, she was out of options, so she could only jump up to snatch the phone.

However, Toby already knew she would do that. When she jumped up, he straightened his back and raised the phone once again.

This time, Sonia touched the phone, but only barely with her fingertips, losing her balance again and falling into Toby’s arms.

Toby looked down at the woman sprawled on his chest. The look in his eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse as he said, “Sonia, are you giving out free hugs?”

Hearing that, Sonia seemed irked as she hastily raised her head. “Of course not!”

Toby didn’t say anything, merely lowered his gaze as a means of a hint.

Sonia followed his gaze and looked down to realize that she was snug in his arms, and her hands were even resting on his chest.

Due to her movements, his patient gown was slightly lifted, so a part of his toned abs was exposed seductively.

The dissipated blush on Sonia’s cheeks came back right away. In lightning speed, she withdrew her hands from Toby’s chest, then bolted upright and moved away from him.

Sonia was going too fast and tripped a little.

Noticing that, Toby quickly said, “Careful.”

Thanks to the reminder, Sonia turned to look behind her and managed to grab hold of the chair she sat on. Then, she finally stabilized herself.

Whew. I almost fell again.

Seeing that Sonia had steadied herself, Toby relaxed, then pursed his lips and complained, “How are you so clumsy?”

Sonia guiltily averted her gaze.

I didn’t want to get this clumsy; you’re the one who made me fall.

If he had passed his phone to her, she wouldn’t fall into his arms after a failed attempt to snatch the phone, and she also wouldn’t have had to endure him joking about free hugs.

When Sonia thought of the scene just moments ago, her face went hot. She reached up and put her cool hands to her hot face, trying to reduce the high temperature.

She never thought that she would fall suggestively on Toby twice in such a short amount of time. And the caregiver even misunderstood them the first time.

Even though no one saw them the second time, the embarrassment she felt wasn’t much different from the first time. Also, the first time was an accident. Albeit a little awkward, she could get a hold of herself fairly quickly. The current situation, however, was different. This time, she ended up actually falling onto him because of her phone.

So, Sonia felt that she needed to find a place to calm herself.

“Um… I… I need to go to the bathroom.” With that, Sonia hastily turned around and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

In the closed-off space, Sonia leaned against the door and slowly slid down. Then, she buried her head between her knees.

Ugh! I wanna disappear!

Also, she was surprised at the fact that she actually did something so unlike her. She wasn’t the sort of person who would snatch someone’s phone just because she was denied access.

However, she acted differently this time, and her attempt to grab the phone turned into an accidental hug.

No, this makes no sense. Why am I even anxious?

Sonia bit her lip, a perplexed look in her eyes.

Back in the ward, when Toby heard the bathroom door slam shut, his thin lips curved into a smile. Of course, he knew Sonia was only using the bathroom as an excuse to avoid him.

Guess Sonia can get embarrassed, after all.

“Who are you going to ask?” Sonia looked up and asked subconsciously.

Toby looked at her in surprise.

Is she sensitive to the fact that I might be looking for another companion? If not, why would she react like that?

Toby was overjoyed at that thought, and his grip on his tablet tightened. With a hoarse voice, he said gingerly, “Sonia, you mean…”

Sonia also came to her senses and realized that her reaction just now was slightly inappropriate, considering their relationship.

Also, seeing how excited Toby looked, he obviously had misunderstood. Sonia hastily explained, “Sorry, President Fuller. What I meant was, you’re free to ask anyone you like, but if you’re really out of options, I can introduce some to you.”

Hearing that, Toby immediately quelled his joy and excitement. Instead, gloom took over as he clenched his fists tightly and said, “Introduce? How generous you are, Sonia!”

She wanted to pair him up with other women!

He thought she had feelings for him, but it all turned out to be just him and his wishful thinking.

Seeing Toby’s stony expression and pursed lips, Sonia knew then that she had angered him. She also slightly regretted her words, so she tucked some hair behind her ear as she said apologetically, “Um… If you don’t like it, I won’t introduce anyone. What’s the worst that could happen? I guess I could accept your request. ”

Toby stared at her in surprise. “You agreed to it?”

“Yes.” Sonia nodded. “And also… sorry for just now.”

Toby smiled. “It’s fine. But I don’t want to see it happen again. You do know that you’re the only one in my heart, so I was really saddened by your words just now.”

Sonia lowered her head and turned around. “No, it won’t happen again. I don’t have time to make introductions either.”

“That’s good, then.” Toby looked at her. “I’ll tell you the venue in two days. They haven’t decided on it yet.”

“Okay,” Sonia replied.
