A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 336

“Don’t do it!” Serenity panicked as she saw Toby dialing Theodore’s number without blinking. She knocked his phone off his hand, then picked it up and quickly hung up the call. When she looked up, all she saw was the lucidity and sarcasm in Toby’s eyes.

Serenity’s mind went blank. “Toby…” Even if Toby didn’t say anything, she could imagine how ridiculous she looked—like a complete clown.

“I-I’m actually doing this for your own good. You’ve come this far and achieved so much; you can’t give up now. Toby, you’re so talented! You can’t ruin yourself because of me!” Serenity hurriedly tried to explain. “You know that I don’t mind suffering. But I can’t let you suffer.”

“Heh!” Toby snatched his phone back from her fingers, his sarcasm even more pronounced. If Amelie said those words, he would never doubt her. But Serenity… Toby even felt like comparing Serenity to Amelie was an insult to Amelie.

“I actually divorced him already, really!” Serenity desperately tried to get his trust back, moving closer to him.

Toby still only smiled. “What a pity.”

“What do you mean?” Serenity looked at him.

Toby stretched his eyebrows, but his eyes were not showing any anger. He looked straight ahead, thinking about something. In any case, it had nothing to do with her. As a woman, she could feel that he was thinking about another woman.

“Toby…” She called out to him again, unwilling to give up. Toby finally looked at her, his gaze as warm as before. This gave Serenity a glimmer of hope. “I know you’re regretting our relationship. As long as we’re patient, it’s still possible.”

“I’m not regretting our relationship. I regret that when I was willing to give up everything, there wasn’t a foolish girl willing to be with me unconditionally.” He was thinking of Amelie. If he had met her earlier, the outcome might have been different.

Serenity’s face turned pale. “I have my reasons; I’m doing this for you—”

“You don’t need to tell anyone about your divorce or clarify our relationship.” Toby didn’t want to listen to this boring topic anymore and interrupted her.

Although so, Serenity’s eyes lit up. “So—” Is he willing to accept me?

“Remember, we’re impossible to be together!” Toby interrupted her. His eyes were clear but lacking in tenderness.

“You…” Serenity was stunned and couldn’t understand why he made such a contradictory decision. Toby raised his chin slightly in goodbye and walked away. The evening breeze was cold as it blew his hair into a mess. He was smiling and his eyes were clear. He only allowed Serenity not to clarify their relationship because of Amelie. Amelie always kept her guard up because of his status as a single man, making it impossible for him to approach her. He raised his fist to the sky, using all his strength. It was time to strive for success. He wanted to become stronger and match her.

Toby took out his phone, dialed a number, and put it to his ear. “Dad, didn’t you say you wanted to start a business in Quima? I’m willing to give it a try.”

“You want to go?” Theodore was stunned when he received his son’s call, thinking his ears were playing tricks on him. “Weren’t you reluctant to do it before?”

Toby didn’t respond. Theodore had to remind him, “You have to think it through. Doing business in Quima is difficult and risky.”

“No matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try,” Toby said.

Theodore couldn’t understand why his son suddenly became so enthusiastic. He was willing to try and take risks, which was very much in line with his father’s expectations. Once this son of his succeeded, even if he didn’t deliberately compete for the position of the heir, Alfred would certainly take notice. In that way, Toby would become the heir to the Walsh Family, and no one else could take his place.

“Good!” Theodore nodded in satisfaction. He felt excitement rise in him. My son has finally grown up.
