This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344 Cross the Line

As Sonia was caught in a deep trance, she felt a vibration from her phone. Thus, she looked down, only to see a video sent by Toby. Not knowing what the content was about, she didn’t think it was a good time for her to view the video, so she looked up at Charles and said in an apologetic tone, “You’ve been busy the whole day, Charles. So, you should probably go back and get some rest now. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

“Are you trying to send me away, Darling?” Charles looked askance at her. “Just so you can check out the video Toby sent you without me?”

Sonia tightened her fingers around her phone, wondering whether her gesture was so obvious that it gave her away. Fine, he’s probably seen through me anyway, so I guess there is perhaps no need for me to keep lying to him. Sonia rubbed her forehead and said, “I’m sorry, Charles, but this is a personal matter between me and Toby, so…”

“So you can’t let me know about it?” Charles folded his arms.

Sonia responded by pursing her lips, seemingly admitting it in silence. After all, she never planned on telling Charles what happened between her and Toby on that ungraceful night three months ago, and neither was she ever going to let Charles know that she was pregnant with Toby’s child. Otherwise, Charles would surely go after Toby to stand up for her, and what was worst was that he might rub the Fullers the wrong way and drag the Lanes down. Thus, she decided to keep him in the dark, as she didn’t want him to get himself into trouble.

Noticing Sonia’s silence, Charles sighed and replied, “Fine, I guess you’ve really grown up, Sonia. You used to tell me everything, but now… you’re holding out on me. Alas!” He pretended to be sad and wiped his ‘tears’.

In the face of the man’s lousy acting skills, Sonia curled her lips upward while feeling guilty on the inside. After all, she knew how bad it felt to be kept in the dark, although she had no choice but to hold out on Charles about the matter. “I’m sorry, Charles.” Sonia looked down and apologized once more.

“It’s alright. I don’t blame you. Everyone has their own secrets anyway, so I respect your wish to keep yours to yourself. Moreover, you could always tell me whenever you feel like doing so, and I’ll be all ears.” Charles waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing the man’s understanding words, Sonia felt touched and warm deep down. Thus, she smiled and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you so much, Charles.”

“Don’t mention it.” Charles shrugged his shoulders and became serious once more. “Anyway, you must listen to me, Darling. I don’t care what happened between you and Toby earlier, but I want you to protect yourself before it’s too late.”

“Sure, I will.” Sonia nodded her head.
