This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586 Old Mrs Fuller’s Joke

Z-H: ‘I’m downstairs.’

After seeing this text message, Sonia began walking to the balcony from the living room. She stood on the balcony and looked down from the railing, only to see a familiar Maybach parked on the roadside by the building, looking all distinguished and conspicuous.

Toby wasn’t sitting in the car, but he was leaning against the door of the driver’s side and looking down at his cell phone. As if he had sensed something, he suddenly lowered his phone and raised his head to meet Sonia’s gaze. Toby was so surprised by her sight that he raised an eyebrow before lifting his hand to wave at her.

Sonia was taken aback for a moment as she didn’t expect him to notice her presence, but after she was stunned for a while, she raised her hand and waved back at him.

“Quickly come down!” Toby shouted.

Sonia nodded and replied, “I’ll be there right away!”

After saying that, she turned to leave the balcony.

Five minutes later, she walked to Toby in her high heels with her purse on her shoulder. However, because she was walking extremely fast and coupled with the fact that the ground was slippery due to the fresh snow, Sonia lost her footing and tripped before she stumbled forward. Coincidentally, Toby was right in front of her.

Even though Toby saw that Sonia was about to fall, not only was his expression clear of any nerves or worry, he instead laughed and spread his right arm unhurriedly, preparing to catch her. In the end, he managed to do so.

 

Sonia crashed directly into Toby’s arms. He circled his right arm around her before firmly wrapping her in his chest as he looked down at her to softly say, “Walk slower next time.”

She blushed and withdrew from his arms in embarrassment. “I know. Thank you for that.”

 

“Alright, get in the car.” As he said, he opened the car door and motioned for her to enter.

She didn’t act in a pretentious manner either. After throwing the things in her hand onto the back seat, she bent over and entered the passenger’s seat.

Toby looked at what she had thrown onto the back seat and asked, “What are those?”

“Gifts for Grandma. They are things suitable for the elderly, like massagers and whatnot,” Sonia replied as she fastened her seatbelt.

He nodded and closed the car door for her before walking to the driver’s seat.

While they were on their way, Sonia hesitated several times before she finally couldn’t help but pipe up, “Toby.”

“Yup?” Toby glanced at her and asked gently, “What’s the matter?”

“Why did Grandma ask you to call me over for dinner?” Sonia queried as she propped her head up.

He shook his head slightly. “I don’t know the details, but Grandma sounded serious at that time, so she probably has something to tell you. She made sure that I will bring you to her.”

“Is that so?” She raised her chin and didn’t probe any further.

A little over an hour later, they arrived at the Fuller Family’s old manor.

After Toby parked the car, Sonia unfastened her seat belt and turned to take the bags from the back seat. Then, she opened the door to get out of the car.

He approached her and stretched his hand out while saying, “I’ll carry those for you.”

“It’s okay, they’re not heavy anyway,” Sonia rejected his offer with a shake of her head. “Anyway, you only have one working arm. If I let you hold my things, wouldn’t that be considered bullying?”

“How does that count as bullying?” At this moment, an elderly but kind voice probed behind her.

Sonia’s eyes brightened and she quickly turned around. “Grandma!”

Rose, who was being supported by Mary, smiled at Sonia. “Sonia, I haven’t seen you in a while and you’ve become more beautiful. Your makeup today is pleasant as well. Even though it’s different from your usual style, this suits you more. Your makeup before was too dramatic and it made you look unapproachable. This style is the best; you look so gentle and lovely.”

Sonia was both shy and a little guilty when she heard Rose compliment her makeup, as she had deliberately chosen this style of makeup to appear more desirable to men. In the afternoon, when she was in bed watching videos, she happened to come across the makeup tutorial for this look. When she saw that it was supposedly a look that was irresistible to men, she impulsively tried to put the makeup on herself.
