Chapter 861
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 861 It Finally Came âBut...â Sonia instantly lifted her head from his shoulder upon hearing what he said. As she looked at his attractive face, she was tempted to do as told.
The next moment, she quickly shook her head and rejected. âItâs alright. Anya might be arriving soon.â
âWhat if she doesnât?â Toby asked her.
She rolled her eyes at him as she replied, âYou always disagree with me.â
âThat isnât my intention. Donât you think that there might be a chance that Anya might not turn up? Toby looked at Sonia earnestly. âHow are we to know whether sheâd come for sure? What if she doesnât? Are you going to keep trying to stay awake while waiting for her? Donât you feel groggy?â
Sonia didnât know how to reply when she heard the logical points he made. Of course, she felt groggy. She was so tired that she felt light-headed.
He sighed and pulled her into his arms when he noticed that she was so tired that she might fall asleep at a momentâs notice. Then, he gently arranged her, so her head was laid on his lap. âHave some sleep. It doesnât matter when she reaches. Just sleep while we have time. How would you have the energy to face her later if you lack rest? You might not have the energy to confront her.â
Sonia nodded thoughtfully when she heard his suggestions. âWhat you said makes sense, and youâve successfully convinced me. Okay, Iâll take a nap. Wake me up once she is here?
âYes, I will.â Toby nodded slightly and said, âIâm here, so just sleep.â
Tobyâs words gave Sonia a sense of security. Then, she smiled as she shut her eyes and mumbled softly, âFine, Iâll take a nap, but donât you feel tired?â
âIâm not tired,â he replied gently as he stroked her long, silky hair. âHavenât I told you before that I can stay up for two consecutive nights without issues? As of now, it hasnât been that long yet.â
âAlright, youâre incredible. I canât do something like that. Just remember to wake me up.â
Sonia yawned once again after completing her sentence and closed her eyes at ease.
Soon, her breathing deepened and slowed as she fell asleep.
Toby smiled as he looked at her while gently touching her face with the back of his hand.
She truly was one of a kind, being able to fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
After he slowly freed one of his hands, he briefly tapped on his smartphone and quickly kept it away.
Soon after, the door of the lounge cracked open. A female officer walked in with a blanket and whispered, âPresident Fuller, this is the blanket you requested.â
He stretched his hand out without saying a word.
The female officer walked over quietly when she noticed his actions. Once she was not far from him, she paused and passed the blanket to him.
After Toby received the blanket from her, he gave her a nod of thanks.
The female officer merely waved him off with a smile and left the room, not before glancing an envious look at Sonia, who was sleeping on his lap.
As she left the room, she quietly shut the door, not making any noise at all.
It was obvious that she had received Tobyâs instruction beforehand to be quiet so that she didnât interrupt Soniaâs sleep.
Slowly, he unfolded the blanket and covered Sonia with it.
Sonia squirmed, feeling a bit unused to the sensation when she sensed something against her body.
Toby thought that he had used too much force when he covered her with the blanket, which woke her up. So, he swiftly patted her back as if patting a baby to sleep.
Soon, she calmed down again. However, he didnât stop and continued patting her back lightly.
After some time, someone knocked on the door. It was only then did he stop patting her back, but he still had his hand on her back.
The person outside seemed to know that Toby would not answer. After knocking twice, she opened the door.
It was the female officer from before this.
As she stood outside the door, she stuck her head in. âPresident Fuller, Ms. Steinfeld has arrived.â
When he heard that name, his expression turned solemn, and his eyes looked cold. The next moment, he nodded slightly. âAlright, Iâll be there soon.â
âSure.â The female officer smiled and then retracted her head.
In the lounge, Toby looked at Sonia, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. His gaze darkened as if he was contemplating whether to wake her up now that Anya had reached.
But he was reluctant to as she was sleeping so soundly.
In the end, after some contemplation, he decided not to wake her up as he could take care of matters like this himself.
At that thought, he lifted her head and slowly moved it away from his lap.
When he had raised her head high enough to make space for himself, he slowly got up and stood at the edge of the couch. Then he grabbed the pillow by his side when he was seated and put it under her head before tucking her in.
His maneuvering wasnât much, but it wasnât exactly indiscernible either.
But since Sonia was in a deep sleep, she wasnât awakened by him. So, she just moved her head on the pillow a bit and continued sleeping.
As Toby stood on the edge of the couch, he stretched his sore arms and legs while looking at her tenderly.
The discomfort and stiffness of the body that he felt for maintaining the same posture for two hours was worth it as he looked at her sleeping so soundly.
Loving her meant that he would give her his best.
After Toby massaged his arm, he bent down to kiss Sonia on her cheeks. Only then did he turn around and walk toward the door.
When he left the room, the female officer was still there.
When she saw that he came out alone, she was rather surprised, so she looked into the room. Then, as she saw Sonia sleeping soundly on the couch, she was perplexed. âPresident Toby, is Ms. Reed not joining us?â she asked.
âSince sheâs still sleeping, letâs just let her be. Iâll handle this myself,â Toby replied nonchalantly as he closed the door.
The female officer stopped asking and nodded, feeling even more envious of Sonia.
She was envious that Sonia had such a great boyfriend.
How nice would it be if she could have such a great boyfriend as well?
Alas, it wasnât that easy!
The female officer sighed and shook her head. Then, she set her thoughts aside and acted professionally as her job required.
âPresident Fuller, this way, please.â She looked at Toby while showing him the way.
With a nod, he followed behind her.
At that moment, Anya was giving her statement in the interview room.
However, since the man in the interrogation room had not confessed that the person who hired him was Anya, she was only considered a suspect.
Thus, she wasnât required to be interrogated in the interrogation room.
Because of that, the officers couldnât send her to the interrogation room, and she was only sent to the interview room to have her statement recorded.
As soon as Toby arrived, the officers were showing her pictures of the man in the interrogation room, asking whether she knew him.
When Anya looked at the picture, a shrewd gleam flashed across her eyes, and she replied calmly, âI donât know him.â
âIs that true?â Toby squinted his eyes and asked.
When they heard the unexpected voice, everyone turned and looked toward the door.
Even though Toby interrupted the questioning, the officers werenât displeased about it. Instead, they stood up and greeted him, âPresident Fuller.â

When she saw his glare, her face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
It was terrifying that he would now glare at her with such vicious eyes. Before this, he would look at her with...
Anya bit her lips as the thought of it made her irate and frustrated.
