This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 45

“Don’t you have a home to return to?” Sonia scanned his face and noticed that his right cheek was swollen. He must have gotten into a fight again. “Are you seeking solace here after getting into a fight?”

“You’re my sister-in-law.”

“Former sister-in-law.”

“Well, even if you’re divorced, you’re still my sister-in-law!” Tyler stubbornly insisted, “Hurry up and open the door. Then, make me something to eat. I’m hungry!”

“Gosh, why don’t you keep your mouth shut?” She opened the door and dragged him into the house by keeping a tight grip on his collar. Then, she took out the first aid box and applied antiseptic on his reddened and swollen cheek. After she’d dressed his wound, she took some ingredients from the fridge to cook dinner on the stove for the two of them. In the end, she had whipped up two main dishes and a soup.

While Tyler ate his dinner, Sonia asked, “Did you get hurt by saving a damsel in distress?”

“No.” He took a bite of his food before he replied in a muffled voice, “My mom slapped me.”

Sonia was stunned by his answer. Throughout her six years with the Fuller Family, she evidently saw how Jean had doted on Tyler and accommodated each one of his whims. All this while, Jean had always referred to him as her baby and never spoke to him with a harsh tone. Besides, Sonia had never seen Jean lay a finger on him at all.

After Sonia ate a slice of apple, she asked again, “I thought your mom dotes on you. Why did she slap you?”

Tyler frowned in response. “She told me not to go out and have fun all the time. She wanted me to learn from Toby and to work at the Fuller Group soon, but I’m not interested in running the company. I like playing basketball! What’s wrong with that anyway?! I ended up having a row with her and she slapped me in anger.”

As Sonia could imagine the scene where Jean slapped him in a fit of anger, she couldn’t suppress her laughter.

He glared. “What’s so funny?!”

“When I was reprimanded by your mom in the past, didn’t you used to gloat by the side?” she asked. “I can’t believe that there would be a day where your mom would actually slap you! Am I not allowed to show my sympathy?!”

Meanwhile, Tyler was quite speechless.

After dinner, he willingly cleared the table and did the dishes. Then, he took a set of skincare products from his backpack and handed it to her. Although he looked like he wanted to appease her, his tone remained quite brash. “I used three months’ worth of pocket money to get this for you. Accept this gift and come to my school this Saturday!”

Sonia picked up one of the bottles and checked out the brand. It was a well-known product and the cost of a moisturizer was close to five thousand, which meant that this entire set was worth approximately one hundred thousand.

At first, she had assumed that Toby had popped by because he had nowhere else to go, but it finally dawned upon her that he had an ulterior motive for his visit today. “Go and find Toby if you need help settling any mischief.”
