This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 731

Chapter 731 Daphne’s Longing

Toby sat down and held her by her waist, then he pecked her cheek. “Yep.”

“Oh, you smoked.” Sonia frowned when she smelled the stench of tobacco. She then pushed his face away so he couldn’t kiss her.

Toby was surprised, then he smelled himself. “That obvious?”

“No, but I can smell it.” She shook her head. It wasn’t rancid at all. In fact, it had a hint of sweetness to it, but she disliked tobacco, so she disliked its smell as well. “Why did you smoke anyway?” She steamed the ground beans. “Did something annoy you? You were on the phone for a while.”

Toby sipped some water. “It’s alright. I’ve settled it.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded and stopped asking. She killed the heat and put a cap on it, then she poured two cups of coffee.

She gave Toby a cup. “Blue Mountain coffee. Original, just like you like it. See how it tastes. It’s my first time making it, but I think I didn’t overcook it.”

Toby picked up the dark, luscious coffee and smelled it, then he smiled. “It smells great, so I bet it tastes nice. And you made it yourself. I’ll finish it even if it’s bad.”

Sonia rolled her eyes. “My, someone’s having a glib tongue. Where did you pick that up?”

“It’s my true feelings. I’m not being smooth,” he said seriously.

Sonia shook her head in amusement. “Just drink it.” She looked down and added milk and sugar to her coffee. Unlike Toby, she had to add a few things to her coffee, or it’d be too bitter for her.

“How long did you talk to Zane?” Toby suddenly put his coffee down and stared at her, as if he wanted to know the answer right away.

Sonia arched her eyebrow. “Why? Jealous?”

“If you talked to him for too long, then yes.” He admitted it honestly and pursed his lips. “You know how much he likes you.”

Sonia stirred her coffee and smiled. “Two minutes. Happy?”

Two minutes? Toby smiled. “Not bad.”

Sonia held her forehead.

Daphne knocked on the door and came in. “Chairman Reed, President Fuller, it’s lunch time. What would you two like? I’ll order them.”

Sonia looked at Toby, obviously asking what he wanted. He was a guest after all, so she had to put him first.

Toby shook his head. “I’ll have whatever you have, Sonia.”

Daphne smiled. “President Fuller really loves you, doesn’t he? He’ll have whatever you have.”

Charles never liked her. He didn’t even ask about her after he sent her over to Sonia, nor did he care how she was doing or if she could get used to Paradigm. After Charles sent her over, it was like she never existed to him, so she was pleasantly surprised that he suddenly asked Sonia about her. I wonder why he’s asking. Is he thinking about me after what happened back then? Daphne started to make up theories of her own.

She knew it wasn’t probable, but what if it was true? Don’t people say that a man always remembers his first woman? I’ve worked for him for many years now, and I know I’m his first. Maybe he actually misses me after what happened that night and came to ask Chairman Reed about me. Her heart started pounding, and she looked at Sonia expectantly, wanting to hear the answer she longed for.

Sonia and Toby could see the expectant look in her eyes and her excitement, since she wasn’t hiding it, and they looked at each other.

Toby stayed calm. After all, he didn’t care about anyone besides Sonia. On the other hand, Sonia sighed silently and felt sorry for Daphne. “Daphne…” Sonia didn’t want to do it, but she decided to tell Daphne after all.

She shouldn’t live in her fantasies forever, or she’ll get sucked in and think that’s true. And when the bubble pops, she’ll suffer for a long time. I have to wake her up before she gets fully sucked in. It will hurt for a while, but it’s better than the other route.

Daphne knew Sonia was going to talk, so she snapped out of it. “Oh, yes, Chairman Reed. What did he say?”

“Um… He asked me if you’re acting weird lately.”

Daphne blanched, and all her hopes and dreams were dashed. She stiffened up and only asked after some time, “Did he only ask that one question, Chairman Reed?”

“Yes.” Sonia nodded.

Daphne clenched her fists. “What did he mean by me acting weird?” Did he find out about my morning sickness and guessed that I got pregnant? Is that why he called Chairman Reed? To get confirmation?
