Chapter 346
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 346 Friends No More Unaware of Tobyâs sinister intention, Zane impatiently paced back and forth. âOh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Now that Sonia knows youâre John Johann and the childâs father, she must have also known I helped you hide the truth from her. Man, is this the end for me and her before it even begins?â
Upon hearing Zaneâs words, Toby squinted warily. Is this guy still thinking about winning Sonia over? He is in over his head because Sonia is mine and only mine!
âNo!â Zane stopped in his tracks, seemingly determined to do something about the situation. âI must apologize to Sonia, even if that means sheâll be mad at me. After all, I have to show my initiative to admit my mistake because who knows she may forgive me for that?â As soon as he finished his words, he turned around and left the ward right away before Toby could stop him.
Watching Zane disappear from his sight, Toby was worried that Sonia would eventually forgive the former for taking the initiative to apologize.
However, he soon put his mind to ease when he recalled Soniaâs unforgiving nature, thinking Zane would only be wasting his time to apologize.
In the meantime, Zane hurriedly made his way to Bayside Residence, where he nervously hesitated for a while before ringing the doorbell. At the same time, Sonia was about to take a rest when she heard the doorbell, whereupon she went to answer the door. âWho is it?â
âItâs me, Sonia.â Zaneâs voice was heard from the other side of the door.
The moment Sonia saw her visitor, her hand stiffened on the door handle just as her facial expression turned cold. Itâs you, Zane! When she recalled how Zane helped Toby by sitting on the truth, her anger surged through her body and was going to get the better of her. However, she closed her eyes and calmed herself down, responding with a cold voice. âOh, itâs you. Please go.â
Upon hearing her glacial tone, Zane was seen with a bitter smile on his face. When he was on his way to meet her, he had a feeling that she would give him the cold shoulder. Thus, he knew his guess was right when he heard her grim voice. Furthermore, she turned him away directly without even bothering to ask his purpose of visit. Therefore, he could tell how mad she was at him. âS-Sonia, I have something Iâd like to tell you. Could you please open the door?â Zane probingly asked, fixing his eyes on the door while rubbing his hands.
âWe can talk some other time. Iâm not in the mood to listen to your explanation right now.â Sonia pursed her lips.
âNo! Itâll be meaningless if I donât tell you what I want right now, Sonia. So, please open the door! Please!â Zane crossed his fingers with his eyes closed, speaking with a voice so sympathetic no one could turn him away.
In response, Sonia blinked in hesitation. A few seconds later, she opened the door and said, âWell, letâs see what you have to say.â
As soon as Zane heard someone opening the door, he immediately opened his eyes. Exhilarated to see Sonia, he happily smiled from ear to ear.
âFinally, youâre willing to see me.â
âYou have something to tell me, donât you? Go on. Iâm all ears now.â Sonia was seen with an emotionless look on her face without any intention of showing her regard.
Meanwhile, Zane couldnât help but feel slightly upset upon hearing her mean words. However, he knew he deserved them for what he did to her.
Therefore, he bitterly smiled and looked at her, noticing her pale face. âSonia, I heard you aborted your child. How do you feel now? I have some supplements at home, so maybe I could...â
âJust get straight to the point!â Sonia frowned and made her point known as she didnât want Zane to waste time beating around the bush.
Zane gulped and sighed. âAlright. Alright, Iâll cut the crap and get to the point now. I-uh-I... heard that you already knew Toby was your childâs father, so...â
âSo what?â Sonia stared at the man with her cold, piercing gaze.
For the first time, Zane felt Soniaâs indifferent attitude as she had never treated him so coldly, not even before they grew closer to each other three months ago. Oh man, it looks like she is really pissed off with me! At the thought of that, Zane looked down and apologized. âIâm sorry, Sonia. I shouldnât have held out on you.â
Sonia sniggered and fixed her gaze on him. âYou shouldnât have held out on me? Oh, you sure looked like you were enjoying those moments while I acted like a fool with no idea what was going on. In fact, I asked you a few times who Z-H was, but you brushed me off with some silly and perfunctory answers every single time. So, how did that look like you shouldnât have held out on me? And now that you came to me for forgiveness, I canât help but find your apology insincere and fake. After all, I donât think you apologized because youâve learned from your mistakes, but because your lie has been exposed. For that, you were forced to apologize to me. Arenât I right?â
âUgh...â Zaneâs lips stiffened in silence because he couldnât refute a single word she said. Indeed, he wouldnât have apologized and confessed his mistakes to her if she hadnât known the truth beforehand.
Looking at Zaneâs guilty look, Sonia rubbed her forehead and asked, âSo, is this why you came here? To apologize to me?â
âYes.â Zane rubbed his nose. âIt was true that I helped Toby keep you in the dark, and if you hadnât discovered the truth, I would have continued to sit on the secret. In fact, when I first agreed to help Toby, I was merely doing it out of kind intentions, but as we got along with each other in the past few months, I started to think that hiding the truth from you was for your own good because I didnât want the revelation to break your heart. Iâm your friend after all.â
âMy friend?â Sonia sneered. What a âfriendâ you are to me, Zane! For someone who lied to me and betrayed my trust, youâre a pretty âgoodâ friend, but I donât think I deserve to be your friend.
Nevertheless, Zane had no idea what Sonia was thinking in her head. He was then seen putting his hands down as he went on and said, âI didnât think youâd find out about it so soon, but since you already found out about it, I suppose I must do something, which is why I came to apologize. After all, Iâm at fault for having hidden the truth from you, so I hope you could forgive me, Sonia.â
After finishing his words, Zane bowed down to Sonia in a sincere manner, but the lady took a step back and said, âFine, I understand why you helped Toby hide the truth from me since he is your friend.â
Zaneâs eyes lit up as he stood up and agitatedly looked at her. âDoes that mean youâre going to forgive me?â
Well, understanding and forgiveness are two different things. Sonia shook her head emotionlessly and replied, âNo. I understand you, but that doesnât mean I forgive you. You might have done what you should as Tobyâs friend, but to me, what you did was simply unacceptable. From now on, you and I are no longer friends anymore. Instead, weâre just allies whose common enemy is the Gray Family.â
âAllies...â Zaneâs facial expression stiffened.
âExactly. Nothing more than allies!â Sonia pursed her lips and shut the door immediately, leaving the man alone outside her doorstep.
With his eyes glued to the door, Zane was overwhelmed by disappointment. At that moment, he felt like crying.
I thought she was going to forgive me, but it turned out that she didnât want to be friends with me anymore.
It was then that Zane recalled how much he went through just to make a positive impression on Sonia and become friends with her while working his way to win her heart over. However, he was quickly dismayed and discouraged by the thought that he could no longer be friends with her, let alone woo her. Therefore, he scratched his head in annoyance. âNo way! I mustnât let things worsen!â I must talk to Sonia and save our friendship at the very least, even though she may not forgive me in the end.
As Zane raised his hand and was about to reach the doorbell, the phone in his pocket rang. With a frown on his face, he rummaged for his phone before realizing it was a call from home. Therefore, he quickly answered it and said, âHello.â After hearing what the caller told him, his face changed.
âAlright, I heard you. Iâm coming back now.â Then, he took his phone away from his ear and typed a text message, whereupon he sent it to Sonia and made for the elevator hastily.
On the other hand, Sonia was going to grab herself a glass of water when she heard her phone vibrating on the table. Thus, she reached for it, only to realize that it was a message from Zane. She then put down the glass of water and viewed the content of the message he sent her. âSonia, I have something I must attend to right now, but when Iâm done with that, letâs talk things through. Can we?â
