This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 A Worried Toby

“So… Grandma, you’re not mad at me anymore?” Toby curled his lips.

Rose rolled her eyes at him. “If you did it out of your own impulsive behavior and not for Sonia, I would definitely let you have a taste of my cane.”

Upon hearing that, Toby smiled a little and said nothing. Sonia, who stood beside him, became extremely uncomfortable.

She might not be the one who instigated Toby in shoveling off the pathway, and even though Rose did not seem angry about it, she was nonetheless still the cause of this incident. Deep down, she somewhat felt guilty and kept blaming herself, thinking it was her fault.

If only she had not worn high heels, Toby would never have had the idea of shoveling off the pathway. After all, she was just a guest, so she was overwhelmed with stress after she heard her host had the intention of revamping the manor’s facility for her.

In the hope of stopping this grandmother-grandchild duo’s intention to change the pathway, Sonia took Rose’s hand and hurriedly said, “Grandma, please don’t listen to Toby about changing the pathway. Seeing as I’m not a regular visitor here, I would be put in a difficult situation if the both of you kept insisting on this matter.”

However, Rose just patted her hand, a kind smile painted across her face. “Sonia, you must have thought I was put under pressure and was forced to agree with Toby to change the pathway. However, that’s not the case, so worry not. This shows that Toby loves you so much that he’s willing to sacrifice for you. So, you don’t have to feel burdened.”

“But…”

Before Sonia could say more, Toby turned to look at her. “Who said you won’t be coming over more often? Once we’re together in the future, we’ll live here in the old manor.”

Toby had thought it through. Since he had wished for Sonia and Jean to live separately, he would not live in the Fullers’ residence in the future. On the contrary, he and Sonia would frequent the old manor to keep Rose company.

Now that my grandma has aged, she seems to be a fan of a livelier atmosphere. Alas! She’s reluctant to go to the Fullers’ residence and stays here because she dislikes Jean. Once Sonia and I move in, I bet she’d be over the moon.

Sure enough, Rose’s eyes lit up instantly when she heard Toby’s words. “That’s a wonderful suggestion.”

“Old Mrs. Fuller, I also think it’s a good idea. Once Young Master Toby and Young Mistress moved in, the manor’s atmosphere would surely be lively,” Mary chimed in, excited at the idea.

“You bet.” Rose smiled and nodded.

After hearing that, Sonia felt both embarrassed and awkward, and her face crimsoned. “Grandma, what are you talking about? Toby and I… We’re just normal…”

“We’ll get back together sooner or later, won’t we?” Toby interrupted her, gazing deep into her eyes.

Sonia’s rosy lips parted, but no words came out of her mouth.

Theoretically, she should refute and insist that she and Toby were not together. But when the words were about to leave her lips, she stopped. Was it because she loved him, so deep down in her heart, she also wished to get back with him?

Sonia lowered her eyelids, making it difficult for anyone to see her facial expression.

Upon seeing Sonia’s reaction, Toby knew she had once again lapsed into her inner world, opting to escape the true feeling buried deep inside her and pretending otherwise. Toby could only sigh and change the subject. “Okay, let’s eat first.”

Meanwhile, Rose also detected Sonia’s attempt to avoid the confrontation with feelings. She gave Toby a sympathetic look and nodded. “Let’s eat. Sonia, eat up.”

The reason she and Mary said so was to give their relationship a push in hopes that they would get back together. But she did not expect Sonia would be so timid when it came to her feelings. Clearly, she must have been badly hurt within these six years.

Thinking of this, Rose glared at Toby. Despite being clueless about the sudden change in Rose’s attitude, Toby remained silent, and he put some baked shrimps on Sonia’s plate. “Here, try these.”

“It’s alright. I can do it myself.” Sonia picked up her cutlery and slowly put a shrimp into her mouth.

Toby looked at her, obviously waiting for her comment on the dish.

As she put down her cutlery, Sonia smiled. “It tastes good.”

“Glad to hear that. Here. Have some more.” Toby spoke as he put more food on her plate.

Sonia tried to stop him, but it was too late, and she did not know whether she should laugh or cry as she looked at her half-filled plate.

Is he afraid that I’d starve or something?
