Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 142

“It’s not that long. About half an hour,” Charles answered, taking out his handkerchief and wiping away her sweat in concern. Blinking in surprise, she asked, “Half an hour? I thought you guys reached way earlier than that.” “Uh…” he uttered and chuckled awkwardly. “Well, we could have reached the top very early at first, but it’s all Tyler’s fault. He went on the wrong path. So—” “What do you mean it’s my fault?” Tyler argued in a huff.

He had just walked over and overheard Charles speaking badly about himself. “You’re the one who resorted to dirty tricks and pointed out the wrong way to me because you couldn’t beat me in speed.” Snorting smugly, Charles said, “Even if I tricked you and pointed out the wrong path to you, you still went on it anyway. Just how dumb are you?” “You!” Tyler hissed, holding his fist angrily. Holding her forehead, Sonia interrupted, “That’s enough, both of you.

Stop arguing. You’re giving me a headache.” “I’ll massage you, darling. You’ll feel better after that.” Charles paced behind her and rubbed her temples as he spoke. Seeing the situation, Tyler mumbled, “Bootlicker.” Hearing him, Charles replied in an equally hushed voice, “Some people aren’t even fit to be a bootlicker.” The edge of Sonia’s lips twitched, and she was speechless at the sight of an adult and a teenager arguing like children.

“If both of you are going to continue fighting, then get away from me and let me have some silence by myself.” “No more fighting. We’re not fighting anymore, darling,” Charles assured hurriedly. Tyler nodded as well, indicating that he wouldn’t argue anymore. Indeed, both of them held on to their words and quieted down, and Sonia was finally able to have some peace. Despite that, something suddenly hit Tyler a few minutes later.

Looking down the mountain, he asked, “By the way, Sonia, where’s my brother?” “He’s behind us,” she answered casually. Charles sniggered. “A strong man like him can’t even beat two ladies in a hike and is taking so long to reach the top. He’s really useless.” “That’s nonsense. It’s not my brother that’s the problem, but Tina, for sure. She must be the one who’s slowing him down,” Tyler explained on behalf of Toby indignantly.

Sonia raised her brows, thinking, I have to admit that, in a sense, this guy really hit the bullseye. The reason that Toby still hadn’t made it to the top was really because of Tina dragging him down. Sure enough, Tyler’s words were soon confirmed to be true when Toby arrived at the peak with Tina on his back.

After he placed her down, Tyler helped him to take a seat on a rock, and he closed his eyes as he adjusted his body to the fatigue. After all, it was a physically demanding task to carry a person weighing around a hundred pounds up the mountain. Even if he worked out all year round, he was still deadbeat tired and was panting slightly as he sat there. In the meantime, Tyler stood next to him, fanning his sweat and passing water to him.

“Are you alright, Toby?” Tina asked in concern as she paced over. Toby’s eyes flew open, and he was about to answer when Tyler stood between them and glared at Tina angrily. “Do you think he’s alright?” Frightened by the ferocity in his eyes, she staggered backward and uttered, “I…” “What do you want to say?” Tyler barked. “Don’t you have legs on you? Why do you need him to carry you? Can’t you walk by yourself?”

Intimidated, Tina’s eyes reddened, and she looked as though she was about to burst into tears. The sight of her in this state frustrated Tyler even more, and he wanted to continue when Toby broke him off, saying, “That’s enough now. Stop lecturing her. I was the one who wanted to carry her. It has nothing to do with Tina.

Get out of the way.” “Toby?” Tyler spun his head around, looking at him in disgruntlement. “I’m speaking up for you and you want me to get out of the way?” “So are you going to do it?” Toby asked instead with narrowed eyes. Tyler moved his lips, but still moved out of the way after throwing a death stare at Tina.

“Toby…” Tina cried, finally seeing him. Handing a piece of tissue to her, he cooed, “Don’t cry anymore.” “Okay,” she answered, nodding aggrievedly. Just then, Sonia and three others, who were away collecting wood and stones, returned. Seeing Toby and Tina, Zane placed down the small rocks in his hands and said in amusement, “Hey Toby, you finally made your way up here. It must have been tough on you.” Toby merely glanced at him nonchalantly and ignored him.
