This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655 Toby’s Birthday

Meanwhile, Daphne smiled wryly as her head moved backward after getting poked. “A little. Still, people are fools for love, yes? I’m sure you’ve experienced this in the past as well, Chairman Reed.”

Sonia didn’t know what to say upon hearing that because Daphne was right. People were fools when they were in love, and she was indeed love drunk in the past too. Still, even when she recalled how much of a fool she was in the past, she couldn’t bring it upon herself to hate her past self.

Sonia’s past self was her most innocent form, as she had never experienced any hardship yet, and all she could focus on was to love Toby and wait for her love to be reciprocated. Sometimes, she really missed her past self because her current self wasn’t able to love a person so stubbornly any longer.

The current Sonia was rational for that. Although she could still love, she would never allow herself to lose herself or her pride and turn into a mindless puppet for love. True love should be equal.

There’s no power relation in a relationship, and true love means equality. Both parties should encourage and support each other. Should both of them stop loving each other, the separation should be mature and calm without hard feelings.

Sonia had made it clear to Toby that they were together now because they loved each other.

In the future, if any party stopped loving the other party, they should talk about it and break up peacefully instead of torturously tying each other down.

At the thought of that, Sonia patted Daphne’s back. “You’re right. I was a fool in the past, just like you, but my current self is definitely not one. Of course, I can’t force you to change your mindset toward love now, as everyone has a different mindset during different phases of their life, and me forcing you to change will be self-defeating. Maybe you’ll become someone like me one day after you experience enough pain in your relationship.”

“Is that so?” A confused glint flashed past Daphne’s eyes.

Knowing that Daphne didn’t really understand what she was talking about, Sonia chuckled lightly. “Alright. You shouldn’t think too much about it, and I won’t ask Charles about this, so don’t worry. It’s just your thrown scarf. You—”

“I’ve already contacted my past colleagues and asked for their help to retrieve it,” Daphne said timidly. “They’ll probably send it back to me tomorrow.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then, she thought of something and asked again, “By the way, can I know why Charles hates you? Is it because you love him? Because that’s a really ridiculous reason to hate a person. As someone who grew up with him, I understand his personality, and it’s impossible for him to hate girls who like him.”

After all, Charles was good-looking and came from an influential family, so his upbringing wasn’t too bad.

Ever since he was a kid, he’d always had girls that liked him and confessed to him. Nevertheless, he would always reject them politely and return the gifts that they gave him politely. He’d never cause any of the rejected girls to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.

Therefore, Charles had always had a good image in front of the ladies. Thus, Sonia was confused when she learned that Charles hated Daphne.

By right, Charles wouldn’t have hated Daphne for confessing to him as she had been working as his secretary for years, and the two of them were friends as well.

Still, Sonia couldn’t help but notice that Charles’ attitude toward Daphne was really odd.

Upon hearing Sonia’s question, Daphne panicked visibly before she quickly lowered her head to cover her nervous look. “M-Maybe, it’s because I don’t deserve him…”

After she spent the night together with Charles, his attitude toward her took a drastic change as he was disgusted at her for taking the opportunity to get into his bed.

Although she felt aggrieved and wanted to defend herself, she knew she did indeed have different ideas when she didn’t push him away, causing them to have a physical relationship.

When Daphne thought about it now, she really regretted her actions. If she had pushed Charles away and stopped him back then, he wouldn’t have hated her, even though he’d still not accept her.

At the thought of that, Daphne covered her face and started sobbing. “All of this is my fault. I asked for it…”
