This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515 We’re Not Suited for Each Other

“What makes me think so?” Sonia laughed out of annoyance. “How dare you ask me that question? You were the one who told me you’re letting go, and you were the one who told me to stay out of your sight. Yet, you said all those words in front of the crowd earlier. You’re contradicting yourself! Aren’t you making a fool out of me? What have I ever done to you, Toby? Why do you have to treat me like this?” She clenched her fist and pounded her chest while howling at him.

His lips trembled as he spoke, and his voice sounded guiltier and meeker than before. “I’m sorry. It’s true that I said those words, but I swear I have a reason.”

“Oh? A reason?” Sonia took a sharp inhale to calm herself down. “Okay. Tell me the reason, then.”

Toby lowered his gaze as he didn’t know how to respond to her. If he directly told her that he said all of those words because his heart was failing after he attempted to save her… He knew that someone like Sonia would be crushed by the guilt she felt. She might even rush off to the hospital to check if she was a good match as a donor… How could he tell her the truth?

A hint of disappointment flashed in Sonia’s gaze when she saw that Toby wasn’t willing to explain himself. “You’re always like that,” she uttered with a scoff. “You get me curious, and then you decide not to tell me the truth. You’re disgusting, Toby!”

Disgusting? Toby’s face turned pale as he clenched his fists and glared at her. He was trembling slightly. “Did you just call me disgusting?”

Sonia’s eyes glinted. She regretted her words the moment they slipped out of her mouth, and she immediately realized that she had been a little too harsh to him. Ultimately, she shouldn’t have said such a thing to him after all that he had done for her. However, she couldn’t contain the anger in her chest—she was furious that he had hidden everything from her.

After massaging her brows, she turned to look at him apologetically. “I’m sorry I went overboard with my words. However, I’m genuinely disappointed by you. I don’t know what your reason is, but if you’ve decided to let go of me, then you should just stick to your resolution. You shouldn’t go against your words. What you’re doing now makes me feel like I’m a toy—you throw me aside when you’re in a bad mood, and you pick me up when you’re happy.”

She shifted her gaze to look at him. “Did you know, Toby? From letting go of me to regretting your decision and coming back to me, you’ve always made these decisions on your own. You’ve never cared about my feelings. I dare say that you’ve never respected me!” After finishing her words, she turned to leave.

Emily knew that he wasn’t actually angry, but she threw the rest of her cigarette onto the ground before putting it out with her heels. She returned to her usual strong, independent persona once more. “You’re my cousin, and I know you well. You grew up in a well-respected family, and you hold a high status in society. That naturally turns you into someone who doesn’t consider the opinions of others when you encounter an issue—you’d often feel like you can solve it on your own.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Toby pressed his lips together. He couldn’t understand what he had done wrong or why Sonia had such a huge reaction earlier. She even thought I was emotionally blackmailing her.

“You’re not doing anything wrong,” Emily said as she looked at him. “But that only applies to your subordinates. It’s true that you can neglect your staff members’ feelings as a boss, and you can make your own decisions during such times, but Sonia isn’t your subordinate. She’s your lover and someone who’s on the same level as you are. You can’t make decisions for her, and you can’t always come to your own conclusions. You need to know if she wants the same thing that you do. If she doesn’t want something, then all that you’re doing is hurting and disrespecting her. You should give this some thought.” Emily patted his shoulder before she pulled another cigarette out, then walked off with the cigarette between her lips.

After hearing her words, Toby lowered his gaze thoughtfully. I think I get what she’s saying. She’s telling me that I should consider Sonia’s point of view before I try doing something for Sonia. It’s true—all the times I’ve done things for Sonia or kept secrets from her, I’ve never once thought about how she might feel. That explains why she’s so furious. It seems like I made a mistake this time.

Toby let out a long sigh before he walked in the direction Sonia had left earlier. He believed he owed her an apology. However, when he returned to the hall, he realized that Sonia was nowhere to be seen. Where is she? he wondered as he frowned.

“President Fuller.” Tom walked over to him.

Toby glanced up to see his assistant. “Great timing. Have you seen Sonia?”

Tom nodded. “Yeah. Charles just arrived, and the both of them went to the balcony.” Tom pointed at a spot behind Toby, and Toby turned to see Charles and Sonia standing on the balcony behind him.
