This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511 An Invitation to Dance

At that thought, Sonia hastened her footsteps and hurried back to the hall. She weaved through the people in the crowd as she looked left and right to search for Toby. After walking around the whole place, she finally found him in a corner.

Toby wasn’t standing alone—he was talking to a woman who stood in front of him. The woman wasn’t especially pretty, but she was tall and elegant and looked like the daughter of some rich family. It seemed like Toby was close to this woman because they clinked glasses while chit-chatting with each other.

Sonia caught Toby smiling at the woman. That woman’s even fixing the brooch on his suit… All of a sudden, Sonia’s footsteps came to a halt. Her palms were pressed down onto her sides as she felt an inexplicable surge of rage and bitterness filling her chest. She felt extremely terrible.

Zane was standing right behind Sonia, and he let out a bitter sigh after taking a look at Toby and shifting his gaze to Sonia’s trembling figure. She really fell in love with Toby again. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have reacted like this when she saw Toby interacting with another woman. I’m standing a few feet away from her, but I can sense her jealousy from where I’m standing. However, I don’t care. I’m not going to give up just yet, Zane thought. She doesn’t know that she’s in love with Toby, so I still have a chance. I need to turn her into my girlfriend before she realizes her own feelings for Toby. Everything would be too late otherwise.

At that thought, Zane took a deep breath and hid his intentions before he walked over with a smile. “What are you looking at, Sonia?” He posed her that question although he already knew the answer.

Sonia bit her lip when she heard his voice. “It’s nothing,” she uttered.

Zane pretended to follow her gaze to look in the direction her eyes had been fixed upon. “Hey, isn’t that Emily?”

“Emily?” she asked.

“Yeah, the lady talking to Toby,” Zane replied with a nod.

Sonia lowered her gaze. “Do you think Emily and Toby are…” When she realized that her response seemed inappropriate, she quickly shook her head and waved her arms. “No, what I meant was… I don’t think I’ve seen her around. I’ve never heard of her, either. If she’s able to interact with Toby in such a natural manner, I’m sure she must be someone of high status, right?”

Zane knew what Sonia was actually curious about—she wanted to find out about Emily and Toby’s relationship. However, since she didn’t clarify her question, he pretended not to understand what she meant.

Toby pressed his lips together without answering her question. Emily swirled her wine glass as she looked at him. “Well, why did you get a divorce with her if you have feelings for her?”

“You don’t understand, Emily.” Toby lowered his gaze as he spoke in a flat tone.

Emily shrugged. “Fine. I might not understand the whole situation, but your beloved lady is about to dance with Zane. Are you just going to stand around and watch them?” Since Emily was Toby’s cousin, she was siding with Toby this time. Since Sonia was the woman Toby fancied, she hoped that he would do something to get the woman back to his side.

But Toby merely pursed his lips without saying anything. After a few seconds of silence, he took a sip of his red wine before placing the glass down on the waiter’s tray. “Dance with me, Emily.” He turned to look at Emily.

“You want me to dance?” Emily glanced at Toby’s left arm and raised an eyebrow. “Look, it’s not that I don’t want to dance with you, but your arm…”

“I’m fine. Come on,” Toby said as he reached his right arm out to her. Emily let out a helpless sigh. “Fine. Since you’re asking me in such a nice manner, I guess I’ll have one dance with you.” She lowered her glass and placed her hand into his as she spoke.

Toby took her hand before he led her over to the dance floor. By then, there were already a good number of couples who had gathered around to dance. They were all in their positions and poses, waiting for the music to start.

Sonia and Zane were standing in the middle of the dance floor. As Sonia looked at all the couples around her, she deeply regretted her decision to have a dance with Zane, but it was too late to change her mind. She couldn’t go back on her words after agreeing to his request. If she decided not to dance then, the other guests might laugh at him, and it would be her fault. She had no choice but to force herself to dance an entire song with him.

As she was contemplating her decision, she noticed a figure walking over. There was a fresh, minty scent that came along with the person. Sonia’s expression stiffened as she turned to look in the direction of the pleasant smell, and she saw Toby and Emily walking over for a dance. They had occupied the spot right beside Zane and Sonia.

Sonia bit her lip as she felt an uneasy feeling in her chest. Why? They can dance if they want to, but why do they have to stand beside us?
