Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1416

"Sonny is right. That's exactly why I didn't dare to tell you." Rose sighed.

Toby pursed his lips, letting go of his doubts. "Okay. I understand your intentions now, Grandma."

Rose smiled. "I'm glad you do. After all, the one who died is my son, and I want revenge more than anyone else, but I can't just drag my grandson into it just because I'm too eager to avenge him. That's why I chose to keep it a secret for the time being and wait to see if you would recover, and fortunately, you returned to normal in the end."

"Grandma, why didn't you tell me after I went back to normal for all this time? I even had to find out for myself," Toby interrogated.

Rose smiled helplessly. "That's because I know that you can find the murderer with your abilities, so I don't have any reason to tell you. Look, you've just recovered and you already found the culprit. That's a really impressive feat. So, I chose to watch over you quietly. I believe that you will avenge your father."

"I see." Toby rubbed his temples and asked, "Then, Grandma, how did you find out that Connor killed Father back then?"

Sonia listened quietly as well, wanting to know the answer.

Rose's wrinkled face darkened at his question. "There's something I haven't told you yet. Actually, when your father got married, Connor attended his wedding, and I clearly saw the murderous intent in the way he looked at your father. At that time, I was immediately on high alert and secretly guarded against that snake, and I also told your father to watch out for himself. He agreed, and he did start

bringing a bodyguard around with him after that. However, in the next decade, your father was safe and sound while Connor peacefully remained in Westsanshire without leaving that place, so I began to think that he only looked at your father that way during his wedding but didn't plan to do anything to him. Then, we dropped our guard."

At this point, she wrung her hands, overwhelmed with sorrow. "We never saw it coming. I underestimated that snake's tolerance. The moment we lowered our guard, he immediately made his move on your father. He really is cruel; he was able to hold back for more than ten years without doing anything just to kill your father, all so he could loosen our guard and find an opportunity to off him with a single blow. When news of your father meeting harm abroad reached our country, I immediately suspected Connor, but his records were too clear, so I couldn't find any proof that he did it in the next few years. However…"

Rose huffed. "If he could hold back for over a decade without making any moves to kill your father, I can obviously do the same. At my age, I've already trained my patience long ago, and I can spend a large amount of time and patience looking for him. I believed that I could find the evidence to prove that he was the culprit one day, and as expected, this investigation went on for seven years. The spy I hired infiltrated the Salzburg Residence, and at some point, he heard Connor muttering to himself with a picture of your mother in his hand, describing how he killed your father. Unfortunately, the spy only heard this by chance and didn't have any recording equipment with him, or we would've had concrete evidence by now."

It really is a huge shame. Sonia sighed.

Hearing that, Toby frowned. "Grandma, is the person you hired to infiltrate the Salzburg Residence still there?"

"Of course. He's always been looking for evidence," Rose said with an icy expression, "Although Connor has hidden his trail well, is it possible to not leave any evidence of something he's done before? It isn't. There must be something that can prove that he killed your father, so he's been laying low in the Salzburg Residence during the past few years. We haven't been hearing any good news, but I know that Connor isn't in Westsanshire now and is in Seafield, so it's given the spy more time to look for evidence."

"Grandma, can you hand him over to me?" Toby narrowed his eyes.

Rose raised an eyebrow. "You want me to hand the spy to you?"

"That's right." Toby nodded and explained, "I will definitely avenge Father properly, so hand him over to me, and I will give you a perfect result, Grandma."

Hearing that, Rose smiled. "Sure. I'll tell you how to contact him later. Actually, I was planning to give him to you too."

"Thank you, Grandma." Toby nodded.

"What is there to thank me about? It's all to avenge your father. Besides, I believe that my eldest grandson will pull it off. However, I still have to remind you that Connor isn't an easy opponent, so you have to be careful. Also, you have to protect Sonny and your child well. She can't be hurt anymore, understand?" Rose instructed him somberly.

Sonia's heart warmed at her touching words.

Toby squeezed Sonia's hand. "I understand. I will."

After a moment of thought, Rose suggested, "If you're too busy dealing with Connor later on, take Sonny to the Fuller Residence. It's the safest here, and with me around, I can protect Sonny even better too."

Toby did not refuse her offer. "If that time really comes, I'll send Little Leaf over."

Saying that, he looked at Sonia, who sent him a smile. "Don't worry, I won't refuse. I'm not a stubborn idiot. If my presence will drag you down, I'll keep my distance so that I won't get in your way, and I'll wait for you at Grandma's. That way, you can settle the issue without any distractions, so don't worry about whether I would agree or not."

His eyes filled with gentle affection as Toby kissed her forehead. "You've never been a burden to me; you don't have to say that about yourself."

Sonia laughed. "I just said that to let you know that I'll listen to anything you decide on later on, and I won't make you worry."

"That's the spirit. Just bring Sonny over then, and I'll take care of her for you. You can just focus on dealing with Connor," Rose echoed.

Toby hummed in agreement. "Thank you in advance, Grandma."

"What are you thanking me for? We're family." Rose waved a hand and continued, "It's your father's death anniversary in a few days. You should come back and introduce Sonny to your father." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"I will." Toby inclined his head. "We'll have to spend Father's death anniversary this year like we did last year, and we can host a proper ceremony once Connor is dealt with so we can tell him the good news. Also, Grandma, tell Mom about this. Don't let her misunderstand that we're taking Father's death anniversary lightly."

"I'll tell her." Rose nodded. "Although Jean is a little dumb, she won't drag you down when it matters. She'll understand; she's hoping to avenge your father as soon as possible just like the rest of us."

"She's close with Father, so that's a given." Toby let out a small laugh.

Sonny listened to their conversation silently without interrupting them. Although she still could not understand why Toby's father would fall for Jean, she definitely acknowledged their feelings for each other.

Lifting his wrist to look at his watch, Toby noticed that it was already time for Rose to rest, so he decided to end the call. "Okay, Grandma, it's getting late, so we won't interrupt your rest anymore. Little Leaf and I will come to visit you soon."

Rose agreed with a chuckle.

After the call ended, Toby set his phone down and said, "Let's go and wash up too. The nurse will be coming over to do their rounds soon."
