This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 622 Acting Pitiful

Although he understood the crux of the matter, Tom didn’t play his hand. He instead pushed his glasses up his nose as he replied, “Understood, President Fuller. I’ll have it arranged.”

With a grunt of acknowledgement, Toby hung up.

Sonia had dinner ready soon enough. Therefore, he stood up and walked into the kitchen to help her carry the dishes. Although he wasn’t good at anything else, he still managed to set the food on the table. At least the plates weren’t as slippery as the bowl.

Due to the lack of ingredients, Sonia only made three different types of vegetable dishes and a soup. Although the meal seemed simple, Toby had no intention of disliking it. If anything, he liked it more than the exquisite dishes he usually ate that were made by Michelin-starred chefs. That was because he could feel her affection for him through the home cooked food in front of him.

On the opposite side of the table was Sonia, who saw him staring at the dishes and making no move to take his cutlery. Suspecting that he thought that her dishes were too plain, she said with some embarrassment, “Um, tonight’s food is quite simple, but you—”

“No!’ Toby shook his head slightly. “The food tonight looks delicious.”

“You don’t think it’s too vegetarian?” she asked while regarding him.

Toby gave a small smile as he answered, “Of course not. It’s better to eat light late in the evening, anyway. Besides, as I have said before, I like whatever you make. Now, dig in.” With that, he began to ladle some food for himself.

Upon seeing him moving, Sonia finally relaxed. At first, when she thought that he had disliked the dishes that she prepared, she was about to ask him to make do. Now that he seemed fine with them, she felt better.

“I’ll make you something better next time.” Sonia picked up her utensils and prepared to start eating.

When Toby heard her words, his eyes brightened. “When will the next time be? Can it be tomorrow evening?” He would have a reason to stay through this method.

Not knowing what Toby was thinking and only seeing how hopeful he was, Sonia opened her mouth and found that she couldn’t say no to him. Thus, she finally nodded. “Sure.”
