Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

The person outside banged on the door as if Sonia was their enemy. She could even hear the doorframe shaking from her bedroom, as if whoever on the other side of the door might barge in at any moment.

Grumpily, Sonia lifted her blankets and tidied her hair nonchalantly before slipping into her slippers, ready to leave the comfort of her room to check on the commotion that the person was causing outside her house. Before heading to the foyer, she got a sharpened knife from the kitchen. Upon getting there, she heard a conversation outside her door.

“Mom, what are you doing? Stop it!” Vexed,

Tyler grabbed Jean’s arm to stop her from banging the door.

Jean gazed at him furiously. “Why are you stopping me? Unhand me! I’m going to teach this b*tch a lesson!”

“This is between your daughter-in-no, between Sonia and Tina. Why are you meddling in their business?” Tyler’s

youthful face was scrunched up.

Huffing, Jean retorted, “Why can’t I meddle? Tina is my future daughter-in-law. Shouldn’t I, as Tina’s mother-in-law, stand up for my daughter-in-law when she was bullied?” With that, she cast Tyler’s hand away to resume banging on the door. All the while, she continued to yell, “Sonia, you b*tch! Do you lack the courage to face the consequences after bullying Tina? Open up! I know you’re in there! Open the door

-”

Before Jean could finish her sentence, the door in front of her swung open. Jean’s hand missed its intended target, so she toppled forward as she lost her balance. When Sonia saw the huge lump that was Jean’s figure falling her way, she released the doorknob and backed away in disgust.

Thump! Jean wailed as her overweight body flopped on the floor face down in front of Sonia. The sight of it stunned Tyler, who was still standing outside.

All the while, a smile tugged on Sonia’s lips as she lowered her head to take in Jean’s

condition. “Wow, I’m surprised that you greeted me with a bow as soon as we saw each other. You’re being overly polite, Madam White. Come on, let me help you up.”

“Get away from me! I don’t need your help!” Seeing red, Jean swatted Sonia’s hand – away ill-temperedly. She never expected herself to make a fool out of herself like that in front of Sonia.

Unaffected by Jean’s attitude, Sonia smiled as she straightened her body. “Okay, then. You can get up on your own.”

Jean snorted as she tried to help herself up with both arms on the floor. However, she had a hard time doing so due to her obese

figure, which prompted Sonia to huff a laugh. Jean questioned begrudgingly, “What are you laughing at?”.

“It’s nothing.” Sonia waved her hand dismissively. “I just recalled having seen a toad on television last night. It flipped over after falling from a high place, but it couldn’t roll itself over because it’s too fat. I laughed because it was pretty amusing.”

“H-How dare you compare me to a toad?” Jean was trembling while pointing a finger at Sonia

With a shrug, Sonia explained innocently, “That’s not what I mean. I was talking about the toad, not you. Please don’t compare yourself to it. Rather, is it because you felt like one?” She watched Jean smilingly.

Even though Jean was fuming, she didn’t have a good comeback for that. I would be admitting that I’m a toad if I say anything! Therefore, she turned away, ignoring Sonia. Upon noticing that her son was still spacing out instead of helping her, she got all riled up. “Why are you still standing there? Come over and help me!”

“Oh.” Tyler snapped back to his senses before stepping into the foyer to help Jean get back on her feet.

“You’ve got some strength, boy,” Sonia praised.

Delighted, Tyler raised his chin unwittingly. “Hmph! Of course! I’m a man after all!” I’ve got to have some strength in me!  

At the side, Sonia shook her head after sweeping a glance at him, particularly focusing on his crotch. “You don’t look so on the surface.”

“Hey, watch out!” Tyler’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect things to take such a turn, so he dropped his embarrassment to warn Sonia to get out of the way.

Astonished, Sonia glanced at Tyler, taken aback by the worry that was evident on his face. Immediately, a smile bloomed on her face. I see my efforts to help this brat weren’t in vain. At least he knows to warn me. I suppose  

he’s not too bad.

“Y-You have a knife with you?!” Tyler’s jaw dropped in disbelief, while Jean stared at the blade in shock.

“Do you have proof?” Sonia cut her short impassively. So I was right. They are suspecting that I am the mastermind.
