Chapter 167

Chapter 167,Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again!After hanging up, Toby placed down his cell phone, his eyes dark and depressed as he thought overZane’s words. Maybe he’s right, he thought. Sometimes, some things may take on a turn beyond mycontrol if I let it drag on until the end. With that thought in mind, he picked up his cell phone again andopened the chat room with Sonia. ‘I know about your pregnancy.’ At the same time, Sonia was goingthrough a document when her phone suddenly vibrated. She took a glance at it and was a little surprisedwhen she saw that it was a text message from Z-H. We just texted a few minutes ago.Why is he texting me again now? she wondered. “What did he send me?” she asked out loud beforetapping on the text. When she saw the message, her entire body turned stiff. He knew about it already?She clenched her hands into fists, then she frowned as she took her phone over. ‘How did you replace outabout it?’ Z-H replied, ‘Your friend went to look for Zane, and he was the one who told me about it.’ Afterreading his text, it all suddenly hit Sonia, and she couldn’t help but slap her forehead. So that’s how hefound out! Initially, she thought that someone was working for him by her side.

I suppose it’s true that women’s intelligence declines after pregnancy. How could I not think of this? Herfingers flew across the screen as she typed, ‘Since you already found out about it, I won’t hide it fromyou anymore. Yes, I’m pregnant.’ ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ he asked. Frowning, she asked in return,‘Why should I tell you?’ Irritated at the fact that she had answered a question with another question, Tobyasked silently in his head, Why? She’s asking me why? ‘Because I’m the child’s father.’ That was hisreply. Sonia pouted as she answered, ‘It’s true that you’re the child’s father, but it doesn’t mean that Ihave to tell you about it.

What happened between us started off as an accident, and so is this child. Also, we don’t know eachother and I don’t even know who you are. I don’t need you to take responsibility, so why should I informyou simply because you’re the child’s father?’ All of a sudden, Toby had nothing to say, and he pulled hislips into a tight line. Despite knowing that she was right, and so was her consideration, he still felt really

uncomfortable in his heart. After giving the bridge of his nose a pinch, he typed, ‘Even though you don’tneed me to take responsibility, I still have to do it.

I would like to know about your thoughts regarding that child. Are you planning to keep it or…’ His fingerscame to a halt, and a few seconds passed before he tightened his fist, typed out the last few words andhit ‘Send’. When Sonia saw that he was asking whether she wanted to keep the child, she felt a tightsqueeze in her heart. Although the doctor had asked her the same question as well before this, she wascompletely in shock to replace out about the pregnancy at that time, so she couldn’t consider this question atall. However, she had to start weighing this question carefully now that the father of the child was askingher this. Biting her lower lip, she typed the reply with trembling fingers.

‘I don’t know.’ On the other hand, Toby wasn’t one bit surprised at her reply. The reason she hadn’t beento a hospital for a checkup the past few days must have been because she hadn’t come to a decisionyet. ‘It’s alright, you can think it over slowly. Just keep the baby if you want, and I’ll raise the childtogether with you from afar. If you don’t want to keep it, I’ll do my best to make it up to you.’ That was Z-H’s reply. Raise the child from afar… Sonia replayed the words in her mind, and her eyes werenarrowed. ‘Okay, I’ll think about it.’ ‘Let me know when you’ve decided.’

A lopsided smirk appeared on Sonia’s face and she stopped replying, turning her cell phone off instead.Since he had mentioned that he would raise the child from afar, it obviously meant that he didn’t plan toopenly acknowledge the child in her womb. In such a situation, he was either married, already had agirlfriend or a fiancée. Otherwise, it would be his family that wouldn’t allow him to have a child outside.That was why he could only raise the child from a distance and not let others replace out that he was thefather of the child. Regardless of the actual situation, to her, it didn’t change the fact that the child in herwomb was an unwanted child born out of wedlock. Unwanted by the mother as well as the father, thischild was even more unacceptable to the family of its father.

Therefore, the fate of the child was already very clear. Placing a hand over her belly, she thought, A childshould be conceived with a person I love, and not with a stranger whom I have no feelings for. I can’t

accept that the baby that I’m going to be giving birth to will be an illegitimate child. So… “I’m sorry, really.I’m not a good mother, and you shouldn’t have come into my womb. I’m sorry…” She apologized to thebaby inside her while clutching the clothes covering her belly tightly and bearing the pain in her heart.Just then, her office door burst open and Charles stormed in like a gust of wind with fury written all overhis face.

“What happened?” Sonia lifted her head to look at him, stowing away the guilty feelings in her heart.Charles strode to her desk, lifted her coffee cup and drank it with his head tilted back before she couldeven stop him. Forget it, it’s just a cup of coffee, she thought. He doesn’t even mind that I’ve drank fromit before, so there’s no point telling him now. “D*mn that guy, Zane!” He cursed loudly while slamming theempty coffee cup on the desk. Blinking, she asked, “What did he do?” “I went looking for him to ask himabout that guy. In the end, he told me that the guy is abroad.” “He’s abroad?” Sonia asked. Charlessnorted. “So I asked him to give me that guy’s number. Guess what happened in the end? That *ssholegave me an invalid number! F*ck it!” Sonia chuckled. “Maybe Zane didn’t do it on purpose. What if thatguy changed his number?”

“Who knows? Whatever it is, this matter isn’t over yet. I have to replace that guy,” Charles said, slamming hispalm on the desk this time. Rubbing her temples, Sonia said, “That’s okay. That man already knows thatI’m pregnant. It was Zane who told him and he just contacted me as well.” “Zane was the one who toldhim?” Charles frowned and went into a fit of rage. “Great, so it’s Zane who fooled me and gave me aninvalid number. Otherwise, how could he contact that guy?” Even Sonia was stunned. “Well…” That’sright, Z-H’s number that Zane gave Charles was an invalid number, but he was still able to contact him.

This shows that he didn’t give Charles the correct number, she thought. But why would he do that?“D*mn it, that *sshole Zane!” Charles cursed, feeling an itch in his fist as the urge to punch someonegrew. “I’ll definitely give him a beating the next time I see him. How dare he fool me!” “That’s enough. SetZane aside for now. Aren’t you curious to replace out what that man told me?” she asked, fixing her eyes onhim. Leaning in closer to her, Charles asked, “What did he say? Did he deny it or—” “No, he didn’t denythat the child in my womb is his, and he’s also willing to take responsibility,” Sonia replied.

The look on Charles’ face eased up a little. “That’s better, and that’s what a man should do. Or else, heshouldn’t call himself a man. But how does he plan to take responsibility?” “Charles, what do you think if Iabort this baby?” Sonia asked instead of answering. “Are you serious?” Charles asked with a seriousface. Nodding, Sonia answered, “Yes. I don’t want to give birth to a baby belonging to a man I have nofeelings for. Furthermore, I don’t want it to be an illegitimate child. So I want to go for an abortion.” Asmile spread across his face. “That’s the way.

Since that night was an accident, you shouldn’t keep this child either. This is good for you, that man andthe baby. It’s great that you’ve thought it through, darling.” After receiving the affirmation from her goodfriend, Sonia felt more determined about her decision to abort the baby. Taking a deep breath, shenodded and said, “That man said that he will do his best to make it up to me if I decide to abort the baby,but I don’t know how he plans to do that.” “It must be money, without a doubt,” he uttered. She grinned. “Ithought so as well.” “Darling, when do you plan to go for the abortion?

I’ll accompany you when the time comes,” he said while looking at her. Shaking her head, she answered,“I haven’t decided yet.” It was just a little while ago that she decided to go for an abortion, so she hadn’tthought so far in such a short time yet. After giving it a thought, she added, “I’ll do it on the day aftertomorrow. I’ll be free on that day.” “Sure.” Charles agreed with her. Then, she checked the time and stoodup. “Alright, Charles. I have to go to the hotel now. The results will be announced today for the proposalthat was sent to Fuller Group.”
