Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

The man wore a black coat that accentuated his attraction. However, because of his naturally cold attitude and his distant gaze, it made people unable to get closer to him.

When Sonia’s eyes rested on his face, her heart could not help but skip a beat and she naturally lowered her head.

She did not expect that even after being

divorced from him for such a long time, he

still had an effect on her.

“President Fuller, you’ve arrived.” Even

though Cynthia had been annoyed by

Rebecca, Cynthia immediately greeted

Toby with a smile when she saw him. “I

heard from Tina that you are inundated with work. Are you here to pick her up7”

He hummed politely as a reply. When his gaze flitted past Sonia, he frowned in unhappiness. Has this woman forgotten about the lesson she learned at Sakura Heights?

When Zane called him half an hour ago

and told him that Sonia and Tina were

playing poker together in a room in Luna Club, Toby did not believe him. He knew

that Sonia was quite bad at cards and

thought that she would not be that silly to

play with Tina

Knowing that Toby might not believe him,

Zane even sent a picture. It was only until Toby received the photographic evidence

that he drove to the club.

He immediately walked to Tina and his tone softened when he saw her looking frail. “Didn’t you say in the afternoon you were coughing? Why are you here to play poker?”

She gave him a slight smile. “It’s just a

slight cough. Don’t worry about it. On top

of that, Melody is in Seafield, so I want to

show her around.”

Toby knew about the Stryder Family in

Norfolk and he was acquainted with

Master Stryder.

Toby removed his scarf and wrapped it

around Tina. Even though it was a tiny

movement, it was enough to make the

women around them qush,

Cynthia commented, “My, oh my, President Fuller. We all know that you care about Tina a lot, but the heater here is switched on. You’re just trying to show off your love for Tina in front of us.”

Upon hearing Cynthia’s teases, Tina

blushed and she glared. “If you say one

more word of nonsense, get out of here.”

“Alright. I won’t say anymore.”

When Sonia saw Toby carefully wrapping

the scarf around Tina and him passing a

warm drink the moment he sat next to

Tina, their intimate behavior had caused

Sonia’s eyes to hurt.

She had deliberately walked into Tina’s trap to punish hier into leaving Toby and never returning to Seafield, but he had appeared.

After seeing how affectionate he had treated Tina, Sonia no longer had the

desire to continue the battle.

Toby shot a glance at Tina’s cards and said coolly, “Miss Reed is not good at playing poker. Let’s forget it after this round. You guys won’t have much fun

playing with a beginner like her too. I’ll play

a few rounds with you instead.”

The smile on Tina’s face froze before she

gently responded, “Okay.”

On the other hand, Cynthia continued to

glance at Sonia’s deck of cards and

realized that Sonia had a good chance of

winning the round. As Cynthia was slightly worried, she was about to inform Tina when Sonia separated her set and placed

a cand out

Upon seeing that, Tina was elated and she slowly revealed her cards as well. “Thank you, Miss Reed.”

“Wow! You are amazing, Tina! I can’t

believe you have a royal flush!” Cynthia

exclaimed agitatedly after seeing Tina’s

cards.

“Sonia, Tina has already won three rounds.

You have to concede defeat.” With a cold

laugh, Melody pressed a button to ask the

waiter to come into the room. Then, she

passed him a stack of money. “Ask a

tattoo artist to come here as soon as

possible.”

“Alright. Please wait for a moment.”

When Toby saw all these, he slightly frowned and asked Tina, “What is going

“I heard from Tyler that Miss Reed has a tattoo bearing the abbreviation of your name…” Tina explained in a low voice after biting her lips. “Apart from that, she even

insisted on betting with me. She said that

if she lost the bet, she would remove the

tattoo.”

Rebecca rested her chin on her hand while

looking at Tina. “Miss Gray, you are the

one who ran into President Reed at the

restaurant’s entrance and asked whether

she had a tattoo on her waist bearing the

initials ‘TF’. You were also the one who

asked her to bet with you over a round of

poker. And now, you’re saying that President Reed wanted to bet with you? Oh, how good you are with words!”

“Don’t be sarcastic!” Since Cynthia had

support, she roared at Rebecca. “Tina doesn’t want her boyfriend’s name to be tattooed on another woman’s body. What’s

wrong with that?”

“She merely asked whether Sonia wanted to play poker with her. It’s not like Tina aimed a gun at Sonia’s head to force her to agree.”

“That’s right. No one forced Sonia. She

agreed to the bet on her own.”

Upon hearing that, Rebecca was

speechless

Apart from Rebecca, the three other

women in the room were Tina’s friends, so it was natural that they would support her and side with Cynthia’s words.

Just as the group of women argued among themselves, the tattoo artist arrived with a box of tools.

“Enough.” Sonia stopped Rebecca from arguing further and calmly spoke to Tina. “Since I’ve lost this round, I’m willing to concede defeat.”

Sonia leaned on a nearby couch and she

yanked the edge of her sweater up to

reveal her fair and skinny waist with the

words ‘TF’ on it.

The tattoo artist quickly carried out the

procedure to remove the tattoo from her body

When Toby saw her silently lying on the couch and allowing the tattoo artist to work on her body, he frowned when he saw the tattoo and felt annoyed for no

apparent reason

He recalled that when he previously communicated with Maple via correspondence, she had revealed that her favorite actor tattooed his late wife’s name

and hobbies on his body. By doing so, he

would be able to see her everyday, as if

she was physically there with him.

Maple once said that she would not do it

because she was afraid of the pain, but

she also added that she could tolerate

having a tattoo of her beloved on her body

so that he would be with her all the time.

At this moment, Toby suddenly asked Tina,

“When we were writing to each other, what tattoo did you say you had7”

“We have too many letters to each other

and since it was such a long time ago, I can’t remember anymore.” She shook her head and held his arms as she lifted her head to ask, “Toby, have … done something wrong by asking Miss Reed to remove her tattoo?”

Tina’s voice broke as tears swam in her

eyes, making Toby unable to reprimand

her. Instead, he stroked her hair with his

huge palms.

“You did not make a mistake.”

“Okay.” She smiled slightly and leaned her

head against his arms.

She was elated that after Toby left earlier that morning, she immediately took the letters from the drawer and burned them so that his pen pal, Maple, would no longer be on his mind.

When she saw Sonia frowning due to the pain from the tattoo removal, Tina felt incredibly overjoyed. Sonia still lost to me!

Cynthia stood there with her arms

crossed. It was not enough for her to

watch the process as she even insulted,

*Tina gave you an opportunity to back out

earlier, yet you didn’t want it and continued playing. Miss Reed, if you don’t know poker, please learn the game once you

have arrived home. Sometimes, if you

force yourself to do something, you will

only suffer!”

The other women also chuckled in a low voice as they looked at Sonia gleefully

Sonia had been controlling herself since it hurt to remove the tattoo. Her forehead was glistening with a film of sweat and she no longer had the energy to reply to Cynthia’s remarks.

The moment that the process was almost completed, a waiter of the club walked to them and asked politely, “May I know who

Miss Sonia Reed is?”

“I am.” Sonia looked at him, “What’s the

matter?”

He handed a small bag to her. “This is

given to you by a gentleman with the last

name of Lee.”

“Thanks.”

In order to divert her attention so that she would not feel much pain, Sonia immediately opened the bag and removed a little box that had blue satin wrapped around a small ring.

It was a diamond-shaped ring. Although it was small and exquisite, it still glimmered under the lights.

“This is the work of the famous designer,

K.” As soon as Rebecca saw the ring, she

immediately recognized it. “I heard that K

made it with his own hands and it’s worth

more than four million when it was

auctioned in Avalon Isle.”

“It‘s just like the Ocean’s Heart-the only

auctioned in Avalon Isle.”

“It’s just like the Ocean’s Heart-the only jewellery in the world where it’s priceless.”

“It’s so beautiful!”

The women looked at the ring on Sonia’s hand with passion and they longed to wear it to post a picture online to show off.

At this moment, Sonia received two new

messages from Carl.

“Charles told me that today is his birthday

and you are going to celebrate with him tonight. When I sent a present to him, I

actually sent a gift to you as well. Do you

like it, Sonia?
