Chapter 165,Boss, Your Wife's Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Upon hearing that the sounds of the footsteps were drawing nearer, the person outside the officelooked around and turned around immediately. With quick steps, he darted toward the emergencystaircase. After waiting for a couple of minutes, he heard the elevator doors closing, then hesneaked out of the emergency staircase. He stole a glance at Sonia's office, whisked out his cellphone and made a call. At Fuller Group, Tom was sorting out the documents on Toby's desk whenhis cell phone rang. Stopping the work in his hands, he then said to Toby, “President Fuller, I'mgoing to pick up a call.”

Toby was typing something on his computer, and when he heard him, he grunted his approvalwithout lifting his head. With the permission given, Tom took out his cell phone, and his eyessparkled when he saw the caller ID. “President Fuller, it's Cooper.” “Who?” Toby asked with a frown,not realizing whom he meant. “That's the assistant we bribed in Paradigm the last time,” Tomreminded him. “He's always sending documents to Miss Reed's office. That's why we decided tobribe him so that he would look out for news about the child Miss Reed is pregnant with.

He hasn't called us previously, but he must be calling now because he has news about Miss Reed'spregnancy.” Upon hearing that, Toby jerked his head up. “Answer it,” he ordered without hiding theurgency in his voice. “Alright,” Tom said and picked up the call. “Hello, Mr. Brown.” Cooper greetedTom politely over the phone. While waving his hand, Tom answered, “Alright, tell me quickly. Do youhave news regarding Miss Reed's pregnancy?”

“Your guess is right. Earlier when I went over to deliver some documents, I overheard President Reedand President Lane speaking about the pregnancy again.” Tom pushed his glasses up the bridge ofhis nose as he turned to Toby. “Looks like President Lane already found out about Miss Reed'spregnancy.” Toby pursed his lips and said, “Ask him if he heard whether the child belongs toCharles.” Tom nodded and passed the message. On the other end, Cooper answered very quickly,“It's not President Lane's child. I heard President Reed saying that the child belongs to a man sheaccidentally slept with on that night of President Lane's birthday party.”

Immediately, Tom passed the information to Toby, whose pupils shrank at the news. A huge wavecrashed over his heart. It's mine! The baby in Sonia's womb is my child! He tightened his fists.Perhaps the news was so shocking to him that his fists were trembling from him holding it sotightly. Upon seeing that, Tom understood the situation and he gulped. Suppressing the shockinside him, he said into the phone, “I got it. From now on, you don't—" “No, let him continue.” Tobyinterrupted him in a hoarse voice. “Let him keep an eye out. On top of that, have him watch herkeenly.

It will be best if he can replace out her checkup appointment timings and the hospital she goes to. I'lldouble his payout.” Tom nodded and answered, “Understood.” Then, he told Cooper about Toby'soffer, which made Cooper so happy that he tapped his chest and assured them that he wouldn't letthem down. After hanging up the call, Tom turned to Toby. “President Fuller, does the child in MissReed belong to you?” Lowering his eyes, Toby uttered, “Yeah.”

"What do you plan to do? Do you want to keep it or...” “I'm not the one who can decide on that, butSonia. If she wants to keep it, I'll have everything arranged for her in the dark so that she can deliverthe baby safely. If she doesn't want to keep it, I'll respect her decision as well,” Toby answeredHowever, when he was saying “if she doesn't want to keep it", he felt a pain that pierced his chest,and he felt somewhat panicky. “It makes sense now why you want Cooper to replace out her checkuptimings and the hospital she goes to. So that's why.” Finally, Tom understood the reason behindToby's efforts.

Toby merely pursed his lips and didn't say a thing while Tom glanced at Tina's picture next to thecomputer. He looked as though he had something to say, but managed to stop himself in time.Toby caught that, so he narrowed his eyes and told Tom, “Just speak your mind.” “Actually, I justwant to say that if Miss Reed decides to keep the baby, then in the case that Miss Gray and herfamily replace out about it, will they...” Tom trailed off, looking worried. Based on his knowledge of Tinaand her family’s petty personalities, they would definitely not allow the child in Sonia's womb to live.Clearly, Toby knew about this as well, and he rubbed the spot between his eyebrows wearily. “Keepthis from Tina and her family for now. As for everything else, I'll decide again after Sonia has madeher choice. Find out the next time and place where she will be going for a checkup and sendsomeone there before her to give the hospital a notice. Tell the doctor to ask her if she wants tokeep the baby or abort it.” “Got it,”

Tom said with a nod. With a wave of his hand, Toby dismissed him. “Go out now.” After he left theroom, Toby leaned back into his chair, shut his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. What will beyour decision, Sonia? Just then, his cell phone on the desk gave a short ring. His eyes flew open andhe sat up to look at it—it was a text from Sonia. Is she texting me now to tell me about herpregnancy? he wondered. Reaching out his hand, he then grabbed his cell phone and opened thetext. However, the content wasn't what he imagined it to be; she was merely asking if he was in thecountry.

“No.’ That was his reply. At Paradigm Co., Sonia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the reply.That's great. Then, he saw Z-H's reply coming in. “What happened?’ After letting out another sigh,Sonia replied, “My friend is furious after he found out what happened between us on that night twomonths ago, so he went to ask Zane about your identity and wants to cause you some trouble.Therefore, it's a good thing that you're not in the country.” After reading the text, Toby smirked. “1got it, but are you telling me all these because you're worried about me?’

What a narcissist, Sonia thought while rolling her eyes. She shook her head and typed, I justthought that there's no need to blow up the matter since it had passed for such a long time.Moreover, even if I'm to be worried, it'll be my friend whom I should be worried about.’ In otherwords, she meant that he had no place in her heart, so why would she worry about him? Feeling alittle upset, Toby pursed his lips and his expression turned sullen. 'l understand.

Is there anything else you would like to tell me?" Sonia replied, “Nothing.’ “Okay.’ Toby kept his eyesfixed on the screen of his cell phone after he hit the “send’ button, but there was no reply fromSonia after he waited for a couple of minutes. Knowing that she wasn't going to reply, he couldn'thelp but looked even more frustrated. Even Charles had marched off to look for Zane to ask abouthim because of what happened that night, and she still didn't even tell him what she planned to dowith her pregnancy. In fact, he really wanted her to tell him about it, and even demand that he takeresponsibility for it.

However, she didn't do any of that and just shouldered everything by herself. Perhaps another manwould have been happy about this, but all he felt was frustration. Will it cost her her life if she justrelied on me and let me take responsibility for just a little?! he thought in annoyance. He tugged histie, a terrifying aura emanating from him. ...... At Zane's place, Charles marched up angrily to knockon the door after hopping out of the car. The butler who opened the door asked, “Who are you,sir?”

“I'm looking for Zane!” Charles growled through clenched teeth. Looking at him warily, the butlerthought, Is this Young Master Zane's enemy? As though having read his mind, Charles took in adeep breath, suppressed the burning rage within him and forced out a smile. “I'm Zane's friend, butI ran into an emergency, so I seemed a little fierce. Please let him know that I'm here because I havesomething important to ask him, please,” he said before bowing.

Seeing that he did seem to be in a hurry and didn’t look like he was lying, the butler nodded after asecond of hesitation. “Alright, then. Please wait a while.” Then, he closed the door and went upstairsto look for Zane, who was on the phone. When he heard the butler's message, he lifted his browsand asked, “Someone is here to look for me? Who's that?”
