Boss, Your Wifeâs Asking for A Divorce, Again Chapter 83 âI donât know, either,â the receptionist answered, shaking her head.
Sonia was silent for a couple of seconds before saying, âAlright, Iâm coming downstairs now.â
After she hung up, she kept her cell phone away and hobbled toward the elevator in crutches while Daphne followed behind her.
When they reached the reception desk on the first floor, Sonia asked, âWhereâs the package?â
The receptionist took out a big cardboard box. âHere it is.â
Soniaâs gaze fell on the sealed box on the desk, but she couldnât see what was inside, and there wasnât any
information on the outside about the sender either.
Reaching out her hand, Daphne then lifted the box from a corner and said, âItâs quite heavy, President Reed.â
âOpen it up and take a look,â Sonia instructed the receptionist.
With a cutter, the receptionist opened the box and everyone saw that it was filled with exquisitely packaged bottles.
Taking out a bottle, Daphne took a look at it and exclaimed in surprise, âPresident Reed, this is the most famous supplement overseas and works amazingly for the healing of bones. Just one bottle easily costs more than ten thousand. Look how many bottles are in here. The sender is really generous.â
To spend so much just to buy supplements for President Reed, the sender must be her loyal suitor, she reckoned.
Hearing that, Sonia frowned. âPut back the bottle and reseal the box.â
âHuh?â Daphne blurted, stunned. âArenât you going to keep them, President Reed?â
âNo, Iâm notâ she answered, turning to leave. âGet someone to return everything to the Fuller Group.â
âFuller Group?â Daphne repeated, her jaw hanging in surprise. So all these are a gift from President Fuller. No wonder President Reed doesnât want to accept it.
âDaphne, why do you think President Fuller is sending these supplements to President Reed? This isnât the first time that heâs sending her gifts, is it?â the receptionist asked in a gossipy manner. âCould it be that there are still some leftover feelings between them?â
âHow should I know?!â Daphne snapped and returned the bottle into the box. âThatâs it. Donât spout nonsense about your superior and arrange for someone to send these back.â
âYes,â the receptionist answered with a nod.
Daphne chased after Sonia, who had already returned to her office and was calling Toby on the phone.
âWhat do you mean by this?â she asked.
âWhat are you speaking about?â Toby was just finished with his meeting and was also on his way back to his office Taking a deep breath, Sonia had an annoyed look on her face as she said, âYouâre the one who sent those supplements, arenât you?â
âYes, itâs me,â he admitted, nodding his head.
Sonia snorted. âPresident Fuller, didnât I already tell you that I donât want it? Why did you still send them?â
Is she questioning me? he wondered as his face turned glum. âI also said that Iâm partly responsible because you had an accident at my place.â
âResponsible?â she repeated, and chuckled sarcastically as though she had just heard the biggest joke. âPresident Fuller, you hadnât been responsible to me when I was your wife, but you want to be responsible now that weâre divorced. Donât you find it ridiculous?â
Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Toby lowered his eyes without a word because he had no rebuttals for her words. Even he himself didnât know why he had to be responsible for her.
âIâve already asked someone to return the supplements to you. Donât send me anything else in the future. I donât need it!â she said and hung up on him.
Stopping in his tracks, Toby stared at the screen of his cell phone with an inexplicably complicated look in his eyes.
Seeing that he had stopped walking, Tom stopped as well and asked, âPresident Fuller?â
âSay... Whatâs wrong with me?â Toby asked suddenly, lowering his cell phone. Why am I so concerned about Sonia?
Confused, Tom asked, âPresident Fuller, what do you mean by that?â
Tobyâs lips wavered, and just as he was about to speak, an attractive woman came out of his office and hugged him by his arm intimately. âAre you finished with the meeting, Toby?â
Looking a little surprised, Toby muttered, âTina, why are you still here?â
Pouting her lips in dissatisfaction, she answered, âIâve been staying here the whole time just to wait for you. How could you ask me something like that?â
âIâm sorry,â he apologized, stroking her hair. âI thought youâd already left.â
After taking a glance at the time on her cell phone, she said, âToby, what do you think if I go to your place tonight? Your mom just sent me a text saying that she had bought foods which I like.â
âSure.â Toby agreed, nodding, and Tina beamed.
Just then, a security officer stepped out of the elevator holding a box in his hands. âPresident Fuller, this is from Para-â
âJust put down the package on the floor;â Toby interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
It was the supplements that Sonia returned. If Tina found out about it, he was worried that she would overthink again.
After dropping off the box, the security officer left.
Tina looked at the box on the floor curiously. âWhatâs in that box, Toby?â
âSupplements,â he replied curtly.
Suddenly, it dawned on Tom why he suddenly broke off the security officerâs words.
âWhat supplements?â Tina paced over and opened the box. Her eyes gleamed when she saw what was in it. âOh, itâs these supplements! This is really difficult to buy on the market. Even my dad wasnât able to get any the last time when he pre-ordered them, but you bought so much in one shot, Toby.â
âIâll get someone to send this to your fatherâs place later, then,â Toby offered.
Returning to his side, Tina said, âThank you, Toby.â
âYouâre welcome,â he said, giving her a smile.
So be it, he thought. Soniaâs right. Since weâre already divorced, we shouldnât be in contact anymore. In addition, he had a hunch that the situation would be out of control if they kept in contact.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he held Tinaâs hand and said, âLetâs go to my place.â
With a smile, Tina nodded her head enthusiastically. âOkay.â
Then, Toby instructed Tom to have the supplements sent to Tinaâs place before leaving with her, and an hour later, they arrived at the Fuller Residence.
As Jean had heard the sound of the car even before they walked in, she rushed out of the house to greet them with a handful of sunflower kernels still in her palm. When she saw Tina getting out of the car, she went to her, happily and grabbed her hand. âYou finally came, Tina.â
âHi, Mrs. Fuller,â Tina greeted in a gentle voice, and lowered her gaze to look at Jeanâs hand that was holding her own hand.
There was still a piece of kernel peel covered in saliva stuck on her hand, and the sight of it made her nauseous.
The smile on her face turned stiff, and a look of disgust flashed across her eyes, but she drew away her hand without revealing her emotions.
Toby, who had just parked the car, came over and saw the both of them standing there. âWhy didnât you go in?â
âWeâre waiting for you.â Tina took a step closer to him to distance herself from Jean before she held him by his arm.
Chuckling, Jean said, âToby, Tina is so clingy to you. You have to treat her well.â
âI know, Mom. Letâs go in,â he said and led Tina into the house.
With the presence of the three of them, the huge living room suddenly became lively. Releasing Tobyâs arm, Tina said, âIâm going to the washroom, Toby.â
Tobyâ
T have to wash off the disgusting bacteria on my hand, she thought, unable to stand it for even a second longer.
âGo aheadâ Toby said, lifting his chin a little and thinking that she really wanted to use the toilet.
Then, she quickened her steps and strode toward the washroom.

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending After taking off his jacket, Toby asked, âMom, whereâs Tyler?â
âHeâs upstairs nowâ Jean replied in a huff.
âWhat happened?â Toby asked, looking at her.
âIâm angry because of that kid. Instead of listening to my advice to withdraw from the basketball team and focus on his exam for the university, heâs now throwing a tantrum at me, going as far as locking himself up in the roomâ
she complained while munching on the sunflower kernels.
Rubbing the knot between his brows, Toby said, âIâll go check on him.â
