Chapter 43

“I have announced it in front of the press, so it’s definitely true!” Charles raised his Eyebrow. Til bring
some candy over tomorrow to celebrate the good news while sharing it with you too, Daphne.”

“Umm, sure…”

As Charles had always been behaving like

he was joking, Sonia was used to it. She

pushed his hands away in response and



impassively strode into her office.

“Get us a pot of tea and a cup of coffee



with no sugar, please.” He followed her

into her office after instructing Daphne.

“Babe, once you’re done with your work,

can we talk about the takeover of

Continental Co.7 i have just conducted an investigation on ihe company this morning

Meanwhile, Daphne kept her eyes on



Charles as he walked into the office and

she saw the door shut behind him shortly

after he entered. His voice was no longer

audible due to the closed door. Al that

moment, she tightened her grip on the documents in her hands while she had a

forlorn expression on her face.

Sonia’s mind was still in a state of mess

from last night’s fling. She just couldn’t

focus on her work while his words went

above her head. In the end, she was so

annoyed by his chatter that she kicked him

out of her office.

It was only at noon that she was able to finally calm down. I’m divorced from Toby which means i’m
currently sigle. Even if ! have a casual fling with a random stranger, It’s not a big deal! The only thing that
stumped her was that her tolerance to

alcohol was quite good but oddly enough, that wasn’t the case last night. I threw up in the bathroom last
night while being fully

conscious, so how did I end up in a drunken state Furthermore, she couldn’t even



recall how she met that man and

subsequently made her way into his room.

Sonia suddenly realized that she had torn

off that piece of paper on the notepad with

his phone number earlier this morning.

She subsequently took it out of the pocket of her jacket and searched for his phone

number on Messenger.

The other party soon approved her friend request. She immediately flicked a message to him without
even waiting for him to initiate the conversation.

Sonia: “We’re both adults, so last night was just a fun thing for us. Let’s forget about it. That would be
best for the both of us.”

Sonia: “Successful transfer of 88888.”

Toby was busy taking care of Tina in the

hospital at that moment. Upon hearing the

news of her being rushed to the

emergency room last night, he was

engulfed with worry. He arrived at the

hospital only to be told that she was fine



and had merely injured her forehead with a

slight fracture on both of her legs, so she

had to be hospitalized for a short period of

time.

Tira spon required consciousness. At ihal

mommt, her eyes were rimmed red as she held his hands before she sobbed, “Toby. I’m scared. Can you
stay with me?”

Toby couldn’t bear to say no to her, so he arranged for Tom to send Julia home while he himself stayed
with Tina. He noticed that Tina’s face still remained deathly pale in the morning, so he had no choice but
to

instruct Tom to bring him a laptop. By doing so, he could accompany her while dealing with work in the
ward.

It was in the middle of the afternoon when

Toby’s phone had suddenly vibrated to

indicate a notification on his Messenger.

He tapped into the app and realized that it

was a notification for his private number, so he deduced that it was Sonia who’d

added him as a friend before he switched



accounts to have a look. He had only just Approved her friend request and was considering how to bring
up last night’s incident when he received her message followed by a transfer of funds.

Toby stared at her message and his brows

gradually furrowed while his expression

darkened. This woman..

All of a sudden, there was a piece of news that popped up on the front of his screen. As he noticed that
the news referred to

Sonia, he subconsciously clicked on it to see Charles with his arms around her as

he cleared the air about the rumors of

Sonia and Carl to the members of the

press. After that, Charles overtly

announced his relationship with her and he

even managed to throw in a snide remark

about Toby at the same time.

This piece of news combined with Sona’s drunken words from last night made Toby feel rather frustrated
and annoyed,

At this moment, Tina was in good spirits

as she had finished her video call with



Julia. She was just about to ask Toby what

was for lunch when she noticed that he was in a foul mood, his expression was as dark as a
thundercloud. She instinctively

clutched at her blanket. Could it be

because of Sonia?

*Toby.” Tina called out to him softly. 1

Toby peeled his eyes off from his phone

“Okay.” Tina smiled. What would you like

moment, she accidentally click into the news app on



her phone before she glanced at the

current news. She exclaimed in shock,

“Toby, have you seen the news? Miss Reed

is in a relationship with Charles!”

“Yeah, I just saw that news pop up on my

feed.”

“She has finally found her own happiness

belone ou.”

Meanwhile, Toby’s expression darkened

even further as he was at a loss for words. Suddenly he responded, “Charles isn’t a good match for her.”

Tina was momentarily stunned, but she

soon smiled and replied, “How is thai so? They grew up together. Besides, his mom



has always treated Sonia as her daughter in-law. Charles had previously mentioned

to his bunch of friends that he was just

waiting for Sonia to agree. Even if she

decided to get married on a whim, he

would be there waiting to take her as his

wife.”

“Toby, are you feeling upset that Miss Reed

has entered into another relationship?” she

questioned ainderly, her Dale complexion

making her bok werk and TL

“No.” Toby denied. Whether Charles Suits her or not is none of my concern. Ever since she sent that
message asking me to forget

abour last night with no obligation on rtly part to be responsible, then there’s no need for me to care
about this.

He made his way to her bedside and

ruffled Tina’s hair with his hand. Then, he

Spoke with a low voice. “Charles is known



to be a flirt. That was just my casual

comment. I married Sonia because of you,

so I have no feelings for her. You’re the

only woman whom I’m concerned about

and appreciate.”

Toby leaned forward to kiss her on the

forehead. “Darling, rest well. I’m sure you

wouldn’t want to attend our engagement

ceremony in a wheelchair, right?”

Upon hearing that, Tina shook her head and muttered, of course not! That would be mortifying. I think I
should skip lunch, I’m worried that I won’t be able to fit into any gown if I continue to maintain this
Sedentary lifestyle. What do you want to have for lunch? I’ll order some food for

you.”

Meanwhile, he tapped on his phone and

swiftly ordered some lunch. “You shouldn’t

skip your meals. I’ve ordered all of your

favorites.”

*Toby, you must be intentionally trying to



fatten me up so that I’ll be ugly.” Tina

pummeled him lightly with her fists and

her tone of voice was evidently quite

coquettish. At this moment, she leaned

content in his arms.

Actually, she’d woken up in the middle of the night when he was sound asleep. She had attempted to
receive the photos from

the other party and leak them to the press. but the opposite happened. Not only did the other party
refuse to send the photos,

the said person even refunded the money

fa her. Fortunately, the other audio

recording had caused a stir in Sonia’s life

and Tina realized that she owed her

gratitude to Charles as well.

“Let’s have a look at what you ordered.”

Tina was in good spirits and she took hold

of Toby’s phone. However, when she saw

the dishes that he ordered, her smile froze



on her face. All these aren’t my favorite

odd…

“You must be surprised, huh?” Toby smiled. You were unconscious for many years, but you mentioned all
of your favorite items and food in our exchange of letters. That’s why I remembered everything. I know
you love mangoes, sol ordered a mango pie too.”

Those letters were burnt to a crisp, so why

is he su obsessed with the contents of

them and mindful of his penpal?! She tried

hard to suppress her jealousy as she

wrapped her arms around him while

mentioning in a gentle voice, “Toby, it’s quite normal for one’s taste and

preference to change. From now on, you

should just take note of the food |

currently enjoy, alright?”

Without a second thought, Toby grunted his approval. Tina was quite content with



his response. At the same time, she lifted

her head to stare at his lips. Suddenly, she reached out to hug him and pulled him toward her as she
attempted to kiss him

on the lips.
