This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 864

Chapter 864 Toby Was Wronged

The last thing Sonia remembered was being in the police station. So, she didn’t understand why she was in her own room at this moment.

She rubbed her brows and tried to recollect as to how she returned but failed to do so. Then, she turned her head and looked at the French window in her room.

Even though the sun was not out yet, it was dazzling outside.

At this moment, the only thing she could remember was the police station that she went to last night. So, what’s the time now? When she thought about it, she stopped staring at the French window and looked at the bedside table.

Her phone was on the table as usual. When she noticed it, she turned her phone over so that the screen was facing it upward and grabbed the device to check the time. As soon as she saw that it was 8.30AM on the screen, she gasped in surprise. What? It’s already 8:30AM.?!

Suddenly, she recalled what had happened yesterday night in the police station. She felt sleepy and Toby had asked her to lean on his shoulder for a nap.

After she agreed to his suggestion, Sonia fell asleep and couldn’t remember anything after that at all.

It was obvious that she hadn’t woken up since then, which meant that she had slept until now and had missed the chance to confront Anya.

But if she wasn’t there, who was confronting Anya then? Was it Toby or the police?

While Sonia was thinking, she heard footsteps resonating from outside the room all of a sudden. She quickly put down her phone and turned her head to look at the door.

At the next moment, the door was opened and a tall figure entered the room with a glass of water in his hands. As expected, it was Toby.

He was not in his usual smart and tidy suit but was in his comfortable home wear instead. His off-white casual wear made him appear gentler and approachable than usual.

Once Toby entered the room, his eyes met Sonia’s immediately and he was left startled. Obviously, he didn’t expect her to be awake when he came in to check on her.

Almost immediately, he pulled himself together before putting on a little smile. “Oh, you’re awake.”

Sonia replied affirmatively when she heard him. Then, she held her hands together tightly on the blanket and asked, “Toby, did Anya go to the police station last night?”

“She did.” He sat by the bedside with the glass of water in his hand.

When Sonia heard that, she stared at Toby and questioned him, “Why didn’t you wake me up then? Didn’t I tell you to wake me up when she arrived?”

He was aware that he was in the wrong, so he cleared his throat and answered, “You were sleeping so soundly with such an adorable face that I just couldn’t bear to wake you up.”

“You…” She furiously rolled her eyes at him as soon as she heard that. However, she didn’t expect him to take that as a reason to not wake her up. Before this, she had thought he didn’t wake her up because Anya didn’t show up.

“Don’t be angry. Here, have some water.” When he noticed that she was enraged, he immediately handed over the glass of water he had prepared for her and said coaxingly.

At that moment, Sonia actually felt parched. She looked at the glass of water in front of her and then at Toby, who made it rather evident that he was trying to get on her good side. Then, all of a sudden, the anger inside her dissipated at once.

However, she still pretended to glare at him before she took the glass to drink the water.

It seldom rained during the winter in Seafield, which caused the air to be relatively dry. So, even though the humidifier was on the whole time, her throat would still be dry whenever she woke up in the morning.

Usually, she would put a glass of water at the bedside before she went to bed, so she could have some water as soon as she woke up the next morning. But she fell asleep last night, which obviously meant that she couldn’t prepare the water for herself.

“Nothing for now.” Toby shook his head and his expression became serious. “If she were an ordinary person, the police would have already charged her for her offense after she admitted to it, but it’s not so easy this time. They need to investigate her real identity first before handling the case together with that. Even I can’t change this procedure.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded. “It’s understandable since we still don’t know who she really is. Why would a normal person forge their identity anyway? Who knows whether she was a spy or a fugitive? So, it’s normal for the police to handle this case carefully.”

“It’s good that you’re so understanding about this.” Toby stroked her hair. “But there’s no need to worry. Things won’t end well for her.”

“I know.” Sonia nodded with a sigh. “But it’s so sad that those two dresses have gone to waste.” They cost a few million and were gone just like that—all because a crazy woman with a grudge wanted to let off steam after not getting what she wanted.

Even if Anya were to compensate for the dresses, it wasn’t going to happen now. Sonia would have to wait until Anya’s identity came to light and it was only after Anya’s trial could she receive the compensation. That would be a long process.

“It’s fine.” Toby looked at Sonia with a little smile. “I’ve already instructed Tom to prepare a new dress for you in the morning. It’s different from your previous one, but it’s surely better. You won’t reject me again this time, will you?”

He lowered his head and put his forehead against hers.

When Sonia heard that, she sighed. “Of course not. I’m broke now.” She couldn’t afford another dress but didn’t want to rent one either.

If she attended the banquet in a rented dress, it would mean that she had disrespected the party’s host.

She was not that foolish or crazy to pull such a stunt. So, she had no choice but to accept Toby’s gift now.

“Who said you’re broke?” Toby lightly pinched her nose. “My money belongs to you. It’s just that you don’t see it that way. Grandma even asked me if I ever bought or gave you anything. I said I did, but you didn’t accept them and kept rejecting me. Despite being completely honest, she didn’t believe me and even scolded me for being stingy.”

As he spoke, he began to sulk a little as he felt utterly wronged by his grandmother’s lectures.
