This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 947

Sonia’s Playacting

Despite looking at Sonia, he was inwardly tense. She treats Mrs. Lane like her own mother, so she
might take her words seriously and think that I can actually be a man who will lose self-control over a
woman who volunteers to sleep with me. If that really happens, then Mrs. Lane has really made things
difficult for me.

How could Sonia not know what Toby was thinking at the moment when she saw the apparent nervous
look on his face? Her eyes flickered before she looked at him with feigned sternness without answering
him.

Her silence caused his heart to start to sink. “Are you really taking it seriously?”

Sonia watched as the man looked more and more nervous until he almost got all worked up. Then, she
wiped the stern look off her face and laughed. “How is that possible? I won’t take it seriously, of
course.”

“But you just—”

“I did it on purpose.” Sonia smiled smugly at him. “I did it on purpose to watch your reaction. Look how
scared you are. It’s fun.”

Hearing her mischievous laughter, Toby let out a breath of relief. Luckily, she didn’t take it seriously. But
what a nerve she’s got, scaring me on purpose! He pursed his lips before tickling her armpit.

Sonia was ticklish, so she recoiled when Toby tickled her. She dodged him while laughing, asking,
“What are you doing, Toby?”

“Punishing you, of course. How dare you scare me on purpose?” Toby looked at her solemnly while
tickling her armpit again.



Sonia dodged him even further, and her laughter was interspersed with shouts. “I was just kidding,
okay? I know you’re not that kind of person, so I didn’t take her words to heart from the very beginning.
But the sight of your expressionless face made me want to tease you on purpose. I don’t mean
anything else; I just want to know how you’d react when you saw that I took her words seriously.”

“Can this kind of thing be joked about as you wish? Do you know that I have a heart condition?” Toby
said with a frown. She really scared me just now. I really thought that after we’d been together for so
long, she’d still think that I couldn’t resist the temptation of the outside world like those vulgar men.
Turns out that she was just kidding to try to scare me.

“Come on.” Sonia grumpily rolled her eyes at him. “Your heart condition is a thing of the past. Your
heart condition has been cured long ago.” She poked him in the chest where his heart was with her
finger.

Toby held her finger and lowered his eyelids to conceal his dark eyes. He argued in an impassive
voice, “Still, you can’t do that.”

Seeing how serious he looked, Sonia became serious as well. “Do you dislike such jokes?”

Toby lifted her face and nodded solemnly to her. “Uh-huh. I don’t like it. If you do so, you’ll make me
doubt that I don’t make you feel secure enough. Also, you’ll make me doubt that there’s something I
didn’t do well that makes you feel that I might get seduced by others anytime.”

Upon hearing him say so, Sonia finally realized that the joke was somewhat inappropriate. She quickly
apologized, saying, “Sorry for my thoughtlessness. I won’t do that again.” Since she had done
something wrong, she had to acknowledge her mistakes and apologize.

Toby stroked her hair. “It’s okay.”



“But please don’t blame Mrs. Lane for this. She doesn’t know you as well as I do, so it’s normal for her
to think so. There are too many of such men, after all. She only said that for my sake.” Sonia looked at
him worriedly, fearing that he would get displeased with Grace for this.

However, Toby suddenly let out a chuckle. “Of course, I won’t. I know she only said that for your sake,
so why should I blame her?”

“Phew.” Sonia breathed an inward sigh of relief. “That’s good. I was afraid that you might think she was
trying to sow discord between us.”

“I’d probably think so before meeting her. But now that I’ve met her last night and gave her so many
presents, I know from her attitude toward me that she won’t do such a thing.” Toby caressed her tender
cheek. “So, don’t think too much about it.”

“Uh-huh.” Sonia nodded with a smile while putting her mind at rest.

“Have you finished work?” Toby darted a look at the desk next to her, which had been cleared and
tidied at this moment. Obviously, she had finished her work.

As he had expected, Sonia left his embrace and took the handbag that was hanging from the coat
stand nearby. “Of course. And besides, you’re already here to pick me up, so how could I not go with
you? Let’s go.” She stretched out her hand toward him.

Toby took her handbag from her while holding her hand before taking her out of her office.

Naturally, some secretaries and assistants saw them walk out of her office toward the elevator. They
had gotten used to seeing Toby carry Sonia’s handbag for her. In any case, as long as he came here,
he would definitely carry her handbag for her. Therefore, however funny he looked while carrying a
ladies’ handbag, they would look as imperturbable as they were right now instead of laughing as they



had at first. Having seen much of it, they thought nothing of it, even if it was funny. After all, they had
grown used to it.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that they would always be awed by Sonia’s relationship
with Toby. Seriously, they’re getting more and more lovey-dovey. They just had a public display of
affection on the internet during the day, which was so sweet that it’d make people lose their teeth. Now
that they’ve finished work, they’re being lovey-dovey here in front of us. Isn’t this inhumane?

Inwardly, the company’s employees were deeply resentful, clamoring that they didn’t want to see such
public displays of affection. However, whenever Sonia and Toby showed up together, they would enjoy
their public displays of affection with great pleasure. It couldn’t be helped. After all, the scene of them
appearing together was simply too wonderful.

Soon, the elevator arrived.

Knowing that the secretaries and assistants were looking at them from the door to the large office,
Sonia made a point of nodding to them with a smile before entering the elevator. After waving them
goodbye, she finally entered the elevator with Toby.

After the elevator door closed, she turned to look at the man next to her. “What do you want to eat
tonight?” she asked. “There’s no food ingredients at home. We have to buy some at the grocery store.”

Toby lowered his eyes to meet her gaze. “We’re not gonna eat at home tonight.”

Sonia tilted her head to one side. “You mean we’re gonna eat out?”

“Uh-huh.” Toby raised his chin. “And go somewhere while we’re at it.”

“Where are we going?” Sonia blinked her eyes curiously.



Instead of answering her question, Toby secretively kept her in suspense. “You’ll know it once we’re
there.”

Sonia gave him a dirty look. “Well, if you’re not gonna say it, then don’t.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, the elevator stopped all of a sudden. Then, its door opened with
a Ding!

Seeing the couple in the elevator, Asher was startled for a moment with a look of unconcealed surprise
in his eyes. Obviously, he didn’t expect Sonia and Toby to be in the elevator, nor did he expect he
would run into them by such coincidence.

Sonia also didn’t expect the person outside to be Asher. She was surprised for a moment, but she
came to her senses soon afterward and nodded to him impassively. “President Dafoe, are you getting
off work too?”

Asher came to his senses as well. Surprisingly, he gave Sonia a benign smile, which startled her.
However, she soon figured out the reason behind it. It’s probably because he saw Toby next to me,
which is why he doesn’t behave as peculiarly as he usually does when he sees me.

“Yeah, that’s right. You’re getting off work with President Fuller, aren’t you?” Asher replied while turning
to look at the tall man next to her. “President Fuller, are you here to pick Sonia up from work?”

Toby darted an impassive glance at Asher disinterestedly.

Asher’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he wasn’t angry.
