Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1028

"If it's so important, then why didn't you tell me? Why did you ask someone else for help when you could've come to me? Am I that unreliable to you?" Toby had no idea what Sonia was thinking. All he wanted was to make things clear with her.

Sonia didn't want Toby to think that he was unimportant to her. She shook her head. "No. I never thought of you that way. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to rely on you for everything.
