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

Chapter 1231

Chapter 1131

As eager as Tobias was to make love to Sonia, he wouldn't insist on going another few rounds when she was thoroughly spent. Or what different would he be from a deranged perv?!

Sonia softened up entirely when she saw that he really meant it, and she nuzzled further into his arms, stopping after finding a safe and comfortable position like a baby.

Tobias couldn't help chuckling when he saw this side of her. "Alright, it's still early. Get some sleep."

"I can't anymore." She shook her head. "I'll go to sleep when I feel sluggish again."

He didn't force her either but only tucked the covers on her and patted her back rhythmically. "Let's chat for a while then."

"Sure." She nodded. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Anything." Tobias propped his head up. "But if there is really one thing, it would be that I want to know who you were talking to on the phone. I could even hear you laughing from the entryway."

Picking up the jealousy from his tone, Sonia chuckled helplessly while shaking her head. I swear this man…

However, she didn't hide it from him either, telling him who was on the other end of the line.

Tobias quirked a brow when he heard she was talking to Tim, and he asked with bafflement. "Why did you call him all of a sudden?"

"To thank him, of course. Though we were both at the police station, you didn't see Anya, so you don't know." With a yawn, she related Anya's situation at the police station, and it was only then Tobias realized what happened.

"So I can't act like I'm oblivious to it when Dr. Lancaster stood up for me," said Sonia as she placed a hand on his firm chest.

Tobias said nothing more. After all, Tim had indeed helped out, so it wouldn't be right to act like they were oblivious to it.

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" he asked while cradling her in his arms.

Sonia's gaze had turned hazy at this point, no longer looking as conscious as earlier.

Clearly, the sandman had visited again, and Tobias couldn't help feeling amused.

Not sleepy, she said. It has only been, what? Minutes? And she's feeling sleepy already.

At that, he ruffled her hair dotingly. She popped one hand out of the covers and rubbed her eyes. Her words began dragging at this point. "I've forgotten. I only suddenly remembered when I had something to tell you before Tom arrived. So I called Dr. Lancaster to thank him. I had wanted to treat him to a meal, but do you know this? He doesn't eat normal food!"



"I know." Tobias lifted his chin for a second. "He has Pica."

"You know?" Sonia's eyes widened with incredulity.

To that, he nodded. "It's not a secret within the circle. Everyone had already learned about it a couple of decades ago, and because of this quirk, his parents, who already don't like him, feel even more ashamed of him."

"Don't like him and feel ashamed of him?" Sonia looked up in surprise. "Why? Dr. Lancaster is a genius doctor. Shouldn't they be proud of having a son like him? Why would they be ashamed?"

She honestly couldn't understand.

"His parents are both talented medical practitioners and perfectionists. They couldn't accept having a son with affective disorder, so Tim was the imperfection, the blemish, to their perfect life. Because birthing a freak meant that they weren't as perfect as they believed themselves to be. So naturally, they didn't like Tim, so much so that they still didn't think much of him even when he demonstrated medical talents that surpassed far beyond the couple. They even never acknowledged Tim as their son to the public. Also, I heard the Lancaster couple even tried to send Tim to an orphanage when he was barely even a month old."

"For real?" Sonia was reeled in shock.

Tobias hummed a response. "Yes. But Old Mr. Lancaster was still alive at the time, so he brought Tim home from the orphanage as soon as he learned about it, or there wouldn't be a Tim Lancaster now."

It took Sonia a while to recover from Tobias' words, and she lamented, "To think Dr. Lancaster has a story like this beneath his glamorous life."

"Everybody has a secret past," Tobias commented as he stroked her hair.

At that, she sighed. "What's really shocking to me is his parents. How could they do that?! So what if Dr. Lancaster suffers from affective disorder? Didn't it make him their child still? How could they abandon their child because of this reason?! Not even a lion would eat its cubs. The most ridiculous part was that they could still call themselves perfectionists with their behavior! Well, I've never met a perfectionist that didn't need to eat, sleep, or excrete. Besides, shouldn't a perfectionist know everything? How come they don't know anything but medicine? Perfectionist, my a*s. More like rabid!"
