This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 621 Toby Caused Even More Trouble

Clatter! Clatter!

At this moment, the pot on the stove suddenly began to rattle. Its contents had begun to boil and caused the lid to rise with the steam.

Sonia heard the noise and quickly paused in her actions as she glanced at the stove. “The soup is done.”

“What do I do?” Toby asked.

Pointing at the knob on the stove, she told him, “Turn off the fire, stir the soup with the ladle, and set the pot aside for later.”

“Alright, I’ll do it.” With that, he walked to the stove.

As if she suddenly thought of something, she blurted out, “You only need to stir it. I’ll move the pot later.”

Ultimately, it was the same reasoning as before—with only one working arm, there was no way he would be able to move the pot to another place.

Knowing that Sonia was right, Toby didn’t repudiate her and only responded with an ‘okay’ before he turned off the stove.

After that, he picked up the ladle next to the stove and went to remove the lid off the pot.

Unfortunately, because he didn’t have much culinary experience, he wasn’t careful in avoiding the steam as he lifted the lid. As a result, the vapor from the boiling water scalded his wrist.

At once, Toby let out a muffled grunt as his brow furrowed in pain.

Hearing the noise he made, Sonia hurried forward to check on him. “What’s the matter?”

He calmly set the pot aside. “Nothing.”

“Really?” She squinted in skepticism, clearly not believing his words.

After all, she had definitely heard him grunting in pain.

However, Toby only averted his gaze as something flashed through his eyes. As he lacked the courage to look at her, he insisted, “Yes, really.”

“I don’t believe you.” There was no way Sonia wouldn’t be able to tell that he felt guilty. Pursing her lips, she demanded, “Tell me what happened or I’ll examine you myself.”

Her stern expression and serious tone of voice meant he had no choice but to surrender. So, he lifted his right hand and exposed his wrist to her.

Sonia instantly could tell what had happened from the red patch on his originally pale skin. “You burned yourself?” she asked in dismay.

With a lowered head, Toby awkwardly coughed once to admit the fact.
