Chapter 818 Jealous Rage

His curiosity and desire to see her were always on and off, which was how he dragged it on for 6 years before he finally met her. He kept telling himself that he wasn’t romantically interested in her—she was only someone whom he occasionally thought about. Someone whom he sometimes wanted to see. Someone whom he was curious about every now and then.

 

That was the reason why he didn’t think it was important whether they met or not, and it was for that exact reason that he missed the opportunity to strike when the iron was hot.

He truly regretted not making a move.

Would the outcome have been any different if he had spent time seeing her?

At that, Zane was so dismayed that he suddenly let out a weird howl before he covered his face, and his torso leaned into the chair.

Not only was Sonia surprised by his odd actions, the other patrons of the cafe also turned to look at the two of them.

As she was uncomfortable at having the spotlight shining on her and Zane, she apologetically smiled at them and forced out two small hacks to cough away her embarrassment. “Zane,” she called out in a whisper. “What the hell are you doing?”

 

Zane had a smile that looked even worse than the ugliest cries on his face as he looked at her. He seemed to be feeling all the sorrows in the world when he waved his hands dejectedly and moaned, “Nothing. I was just thinking about that one time I lost an opportunity of a lifetime, and how much I want to knock myself out, is all.”

“Huh?” Sonia didn’t understand a single word that Zane said.

He only shook his head without further explaining himself. “It is nothing. Go ahead and answer your call.”

“Oh.” She could tell that he wasn’t going to say more, and so she simply gave him a short reply as she nodded. She then pressed her phone to her ear and said gently, “Hello?” Her attention was now fully on the phone call.

Her voice put Toby to ease in an instant. Even the frown between his eyebrows had disappeared. “Why did you take so long to answer the call? Has the court hearing not ended yet?” he asked.

“It ended some time ago,” she answered. “I was talking to Zane.”

With that, she threw a glance at Zane, only to see him raising his cup at her with a smile on his face.

Toby immediately jumped out of his office chair when he heard her saying the name of Zane Coleman. “Zane?” he repeated, his thin lips pursing.

“Yup.” Sonia nodded.
