Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 365
Watching his tiny figure from the back, Sonia smiled even wider, and soon, he returned from the
washroom. He even showed his hands to her so she could check if he had cleaned it. After she
complimented him, saying that he had cleaned it well, only then did he drop his hands happily.
They left Paradigm Co. and she drove home to Bayside Residence together with him. In the midst of
making dinner, she realized that she had run out of salt in the kitchen and wanted to buy some from the
convenience store in the neighborhood.
Taking off her apron, she walked out of the kitchen and spoke to Dous, who was watching TV on the
couch in the living room. “Dous, I’m going downstairs to buy some salt. Be good and stay at home,
then open the door for me when I’m backter, okay?”
“Sure, Aunt Sonia,” he replied, spinning his head around.
“Good boy.” She walked toward the door, and he followed to send her out.
After putting on shoes, she recalled something and reminded Dous, “Also, regardless if I’m the person
who presses the doorbellter, you shouldn’t open the door straight away. Use the inte camera to
check the person outside the door. Do you get it?”
What if someone elsees while I’m out? I am worried, having a child alone at home.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Sonia. I know what to do.” Standing on the step at the entrance, he waved goodbye to
Sonia, who stroked his small head before heading out.
After she bought the salt, the sky had turned even darkerpared to the time when she left the
apartment. With the salt in her hand, she walked toward her apartment building on the street, which
seemed especially quiet without many people around. This was basically dinner time for the people in
the neighborhood and not the time for evening walks yet.
Sonia walked for a while, and suddenly, she felt someone following her. Stopping in her tracks, she
turned around and looked behind, but she didn’t see anyone or anything.
With a frown, she wondered, Was it just my illusion? Without pondering over it further, she turned her
head around and continued walking forward. I’ll reach my apartment building after passing by this
building.
However, barely a few stepster, she once again felt that someone was stalking her. This time, she was
sure that it wasn’t her own illusion anymore; somebody was really following her because she heard the
sounds of footsteps. Although it was light, she had really heard it.
Her body turned stiff as her hands and feet started to turn cold, but she dared not stop and quickened
her pace instead. Unexpectedly, the footsteps behind her sped up as well because she could hear the
sounds of the footsteps bing heavy and hurried.
She didn’t know who was following her nor what motive this person had; all she knew was that it couldn’t
be anything good. In addition, the sounds of those footsteps sent panic and fear through her.
Her scalp was tingling numb, and she had goosebumps all over her body; besides, her hand that was
holding the salt had turned mmy. Even her legs were shaking and turning into jelly.
She didn’t want to stay outside anymore; she just wanted to get back to her apartment as quickly as
possible. Only then could she escape from the person behind her and feel safe.
At the thought of this, her pace broke into a sprint, and she dashed toward her apartment building.
Despite that, the person behind gave chase, and she could hear the distance drawing closer between
them.
I can’t out-run this person! she realized and panicked. “Help! Somebody—”
Before she could finish, a thick stick raised behind her and hit her hard on her head.
Wham!
A crisp sound echoed, and Sonia felt a sharp pain on the back of her head. Then, she rolled her eyes
and passed out on the spot.
Staring at Sonia, who was slumped on the ground, the person seemed to be in shock and staggered
backward. Energy drained from those tightened hands, and the thick stick in those hands fell to the
ground with a loud ng.
Hearing this sound, the person felt weak and crumpled to the ground, breathing heavily as their body
quivered. With a hat, mask, and sunnies on, the person’s hair and face was covered tightly while they
wore oversized clothes to hide their figure beneath. Even the shoes this person was wearing were sport
shoes which were clearly heightened.

Under such a disguise, nobody could tell if this was a man or a woman.
After a while, this person seemed to have awakened from their shock and panic, speaking in a voice
which was neither feminine nor masculine. “I’m sorry. I really am…”
With that, the person scrambled up, held Sonia under their arms, and dragged her toward the apartment
building in front of them until they were inside the emergency stairwell of the building. Dropping Sonia,
they then closed the door and took a deep breath before whisking out a small fruit knife from the pocket
of their jacket.
Lowering their body next to her, the person raised their left hand with the palm side up. Then, they pulled
out the knife from the sheath and drew it closer to her wrist slowly. The whole while, this person’s hand
was shivering, showing just how nervous they were. Within seconds, the tip of the knife reached the red
mole on Sonia’s wrist.
Behind the sunnies, they shut their eyes and took a deep breath. With a surge of determination, they
pierced the knife into her skin and cut out the red mole with the tip of the knife little by little.
The whole process took about ten minutes.
After making sure that the red mole was gone from her wrist and only a patch of bloody mess was in its
ce, the person let out a sigh of relief, whereupon they picked up the sheath and slid the knife back in
without even cleaning it. Then, they quickly fled from the scene.
Barely a few seconds had passed after this person had left when Sonia’s phone started to ring, but she
had already passed out, so of course she couldn’t pick it up.
Meanwhile, in her apartment, Dous listened intently on his smartwatch, but nobody picked up his call,
and his little brows knitted tightly together. When the call reached a dead dial tone, he murmured, “It’s
been so long. Why isn’t Aunt Sonia back yet?”
He had been to the convenience store before. It was on the ground floor of the third building, and he
remembered very well that it wasn’t far from here because Sonia had brought him there to buy milk in the
morning.
It’s been so long, he thought. Aunt Sonia should be back by now, but she’s still not back yet, and she
didn’t even pick up her phone. Where exactly did she go? Worried, he decided to wait for her downstairs
and hopped off the couch. After switching off the TV, he grabbed the ess card on the coffee table and
left the apartment.
Two minutester, he reached the ground floor. First, he stood at the entrance of the building and peered
outside, trying to see if Sonia was around. At this time, there was already a growing number of people
around the neighborhood. These were the people who were out for an evening walk after they already
had their dinner.
When he didn’t see any signs of Sonia after peering around, he called her number again, and exactly at
the same time, a phone rang. He immediately recognized that as Sonia’s ringtone because he had heard
it in her office during daytime.
Delight washed over his face, and he turned toward the source of the ringtone. Even when he saw that it
wasing from the emergency stairwell, he ran forward happily without any hesitation.
However, when he reached the emergency stairwell and saw Sonia on the ground, his face froze and he
broke into tears. “Aunt Sonia…”
Outside, Charles had just entered the building holding a huge bag of freshly picked pears, thinking to
surprise Sonia with it, but he stopped in his tracks upon hearing Dous’ cries.
What’s happening? Why is a child crying? And he’s crying while calling his aunt… Has there been an
ident? Charles thought and marched over while asking loudly, “Hey, kid, do you need help?”
In the stairwell, Dous stopped crying when he heard him. Sniffling, he answered anxiously, “Sir,
please save my aunt!”
Just as I had thought, there has been an ident! Charles thought and quickened his pace. Within a
couple of steps, he was in the stairwell as well, and just when he was about to ask what happened to
Dous’ aunt, he saw Sonia lying on the floor. Instantly, his face fell, and the bag of pears in his hand
scattered across the floor. “Darling!”
