This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1369

Chapter 1369Chapter 1369
On New Year's Day, the two stayed inside without any entertainment. They spent the entire day
studying Management Studies.
This was the first time Sonia celebrated the new year this way, but she was not bored at all. After all,
she had her beloved by her side. Life would never be boring if one could spend it with their loved ones.
However, the following day, she left Toby all by himself at the hospital and went over to the Lanes with
some gifts to celebrate the new year.
Before she left, he shot her a mournful look. She found it so amusing that she could burst out laughing
whenever she recalled his face.
"Sonny, why are you here by yourself? Where's Toby?"
As soon as Sonia parked her car, Grace came out to greet her when she heard the noise from inside.
She could not but ask when she saw Sonia alone.
Retrieving the gifts from the trunk, Sonia explained on behalf of Toby with a smile, "He had surgery not
long ago and is currently recuperating at the hospital, so I came by myself."
"Surgery?" Grace was significantly shocked. "What kind of surgery? Was it something major?"
"It was considered a major surgery, but it was a huge success. Right now, he just has to stay in the
hospital for another two to three months, then everything should be fine," Sonia responded quitesuccinctly and did not plan to inform Grace of the details regarding his surgery.
It was his secret, after all.
Aware that Sonia was not intentionally trying to hide things from her, Grace no longer pursued the
topic. As long as Toby was fine, she was relieved.
"Gosh. It's a shame that he's not here. I instructed the kitchen staff to prepare his favorite dishes! I
noticed he enjoyed those the last time he was here, so I specifically told the chef to prepare them. In
the end, he didn't turn up." Grace helped Sonia with the stuff in her hands and mentioned it quite
regretfully.
Sonia revealed a smile. "This wasn't something we expected too. It's okay, though. I'll doggy bag some
and bring it with me when I go back to the hospital. That way, your efforts will not go to waste!"
"That sounds good. I'll get the kitchen staff to prepare it for you later on." Grace was full of smiles when
she heard that.
They entered the house, and Sonia noticed they were the only ones inside. Surprised, she asked, "Mrs.
Lane, where are Mr. Lane and Charles?"
"Curtis went out for a game of chess." Grace put the items away and replied, "You must be aware that
this is his only hobby despite his poor skills. He's bad at it, yet he enjoys the game. It's the new year, so
everyone's free. That's why he grabbed his chess set and went out to find his mates. As for Charles,
he's still fast asleep upstairs." Sonia could not contain her laughter. "That sounds exactly like Mr. Lane's doing."
"Yes. That's why I didn't stop him from playing chess. I know well that I can't stop him anyway." Grace
poured a glass of juice for Sonia and said, "Sonny, take a seat. I'll go upstairs to wake that lazy bum
up. It's nearly noon!"
"Sure, Mrs. Lane. Go ahead. No need to entertain me." Sonia took a sip of the fruit juice.
Subsequently, Grace left and went upstairs.
Sonia sat on the couch for about ten minutes before hearing some noises upstairs. She lifted her head
to look and saw Grace dragging Charles by the ears down the stairs.
As they made their way down, she continued to chide him for being lazy and lounging in bed on New
Year's Day!
Meanwhile, he looked defeated and allowed her to berate him as she pleased. Sonia was tickled by the
scene in front of her.
"Sonny, you're here!" He heard Sonia's laughter and immediately perked up. Then, he greeted her with
a wave.
At that point, Grace stopped pulling him by the ears and quickly let go. She smiled at their guest.
"Sonny, Charles has woken up. I'll leave you guys and check on the food."
"Sure, Mrs. Lane." Sonia nodded. Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookBefore Grace headed to the kitchen, she glared at Charles once again.
Rubbing his ears, he went over to sit across from Sonia. "Gosh, this is so annoying. I was having a nice
dream, but my mom suddenly yanked me out of bed. Sonny, my mom's so annoying, isn't she? I'm in
my thirties, yet she still treats me like a child."
However, she propped her chin and stared at him enviously. "It's great you get to experience your
mom's love even when you're in your thirties."
As for Sonia, she had been abandoned by her biological parents. After much difficulty, she finally
reunited with them, but her mom ended up leaving at a very young age, even before she reached her
mature years.
She had never experienced a mother's love before, so most of the time, she felt envious upon seeing
others being doted on by their parents.
Now that she was pregnant and became a soon-to-be mother, she swore to love and give the best to
her child. She had never experienced a mother's love herself, but she was determined that her child
would get to enjoy that.
Charles was unaware of what was on her mind, but he felt upset deep inside upon hearing her words of
envy.
"There's nothing to be envious of because you're like my mom's daughter too. All of us love you very
much, Sonny." He looked at her and expressed solemnly, not wanting her to overthink the situation.
She affirmed with a hum. "I know that. That's why I've never felt unloved or unhappy. Even though I'venever truly experienced maternal love, I'm sure my mom loved me very much. I also have my dad, my
grandpa, you, and your parents. That's why I've never felt lacking in anything compared to everyone
else. On the contrary, I've always been well-loved."
"It's lovely you think that way." Charles noticed that she was emotionally stable, so he heaved a sigh of
relief before asking, "Why are you here by yourself? Where's Toby?"
"He's currently in the hospital." She heaved a sigh.
At that point, he could tell she was being serious, so he exclaimed in shock, "Hospital? What
happened?"
"He just went through surgery," explained Sonia.
"What sort of surgery?"
She lowered her eyes and appeared rather upset.
As soon as he saw that, he felt a pang in his heart. "Would that have any effect on your marital life?"
Instantly, she blushed red and replied with a huff, "What sort of nonsense is that?!"
"What's wrong with my question?" He blinked and did not seem to think his words were offensive.
"Sonny, you've got to know that if a man's impotent, even if you guys are deeply in love with each other,
your relationship wouldn't last long. I'm just concerned on your behalf."
"I get it, but…" She stomped her foot. "Gosh! I don't want to talk about this with you! He's fine. He'sdoing great. He went through surgery because of some other reason, and the surgery won't affect his
potency. Stop your nonsense!"
"Okay, fine. I'll stop this. I'm glad your marital life won't be affected." Charles shrugged and stopped
talking.
At that point, Sonia finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, the two of them continued to chat until it was nearly time for lunch.
Curtis also arrived with his chess set in his hand and had a thunderous look upon arriving home. He
lost in the game this morning. Otherwise, he would surely be beaming upon coming home instead.
"Sonny, you're here!" Nonetheless, his gloomy expression changed for the better as soon as he saw
Sonia, revealing a pleased smile.
Even she was shocked by the speed of the change in his expression.
Charles and Grace rolled their eyes in unison. They were used to Curtis' manner of altering emotions at
the flick of a switch.
"Yes, Mr. Lane. I'm here to pay my respects to you for the new year." Sonia stood up and smiled.
"That's great. I'm glad to see you. The atmosphere at home is merrier with you around. By the way, did
you come alone? Where's Toby?" He scanned the surroundings confusedly. Once again, she patiently explained Toby's condition, for she was well aware there was no way of
avoiding questions from the three of them.
