This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 49

“Basketball is just his hobby. If he decides to give up, he can still return home and live a luxurious life. As for you, the reason why you are playing basketball is to earn a living. Besides, this is just a trial. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get picked for the team.” While looking at the boy’s sad eyes, Sonia sarcastically added, “Such a pity.”

However, his mother’s face had already darkened in anger. “Y-You!”

After seeing how the usually calm Sonia managed to anger those people without breaking a sweat, Tyler felt especially delighted in his heart.

When she came toward him, his body trembled as he rushed toward her and yanked the sleeves of her coat. He then quietly begged, “I really want to keep on playing basketball. Please don’t let Zane bring me home. Let me participate in the trial.”

“When did I say that Zane’s here to bring you home?” Sonia tilted her head and glanced at him. “Or, did you really want to head back with him?”

For a moment, Tyler was dumbfounded. “Then, why is he here…”

“I asked him to send me over.”

“I see.” Tyler patted his chest. “I thought that he came to bring me home, which made me scared for a moment.”

However, Sonia ignored him and she went to shake hands with the coach. “Hi, I’m Tyler’s sister and I apologize for being late. I had something to deal with at my company, which is why I only managed to rush over now.”

“It’s fine. What’s important is that you are here.” After he shook her hand, the coach handed the contract to her. “Tyler really is a talented boy. He’ll definitely pass the trials! Don’t worry about handing him over to me. I’ll take good care of him.”

With a smile, she replied, “That’s all the assurance I need.”

Just as Sonia was about to sign the contract, the guardians behind her suddenly rose to their full height one by one and raised their voices. “He looks so average when I saw him play either. He’s not even better than my son, so why does he deserve to join the trials?”

“She’s right. His skills aren’t special at all!”

Now that he observed the situation, the coach had no choice but to calmly explain to the other parents, “I’m the coach here, so I’m sure how skillful the students are at the game. Tyler is indeed talented—”

“Coach, did his brother ask to see you before?” a parent asked tentatively, but her intention couldn’t be much clearer.

The coach was rendered speechless for a moment after he heard the question.

“W-What the hell are you talking about?!” Tyler almost swore in front of everyone as he gritted his teeth in anger. “The truth is that I’m good at playing basketball. What does that have to do with my brother? Stop slandering others!”

“Tyler, we also feel that you are actually not that good at basketball.” A few of the boys who had just signed the contract also made their voices heard.

“Hey, you guys…” The coach was afraid that if he said the wrong word, the situation would escalate.
