All of the parents were so angry that they were speechless.
“I won! I won!” Tyler ran toward Sonia while he was still panting, but there was an obvious hint of excitement in his voice. “I looked so good when I smashed the ball just now! Did you see it? Did you take a photo of it?”
“No.” She brushed her hair emotionlessly, as if the person who cheered for him just now wasn’t her at all.
“Y-You are lying. I could clearly see you—”
“You were playing for yourself and your brother. It has nothing to do with me, so why should I look? Alright, now. Stop blocking me. I need to help you sign that contract.” She pushed him aside and walked toward the coach before switching to a more polite tone. “I’m sorry for taking up your time.”
Listening to her, Tyler was speechless.
Meanwhile, Zane took a photo of Tyler’s shocked expression before wrapping his arm across the latter’s shoulders and asked, “I heard that you bullied her every day when she was in the Fuller Residence. Now, the tables have turned. How does it feel being bullied by her?”
“I’m a man so I won’t argue with her!” Tyler let out a grunt.
“What are you standing there for?” Suddenly, Sonia turned around and rolled her eyes at him.
Don’t you want to continue playing basketball? Come over and sign the contract!”
Since it was a big deal in his life, Tyler quickly ran over and signed the contract.
Then, the coach informed the students and their parents that a car would be sent over to pick them up to the training base by then. After a few conversations, the coach left with his team and the parents also left with their children.
Sonia and Tyler left the basketball court, and the latter kept on flipping the contract in his hands as if this was all a dream.
Actually, when Sonia declined his call this evening, Tyler had called Tina instead, asking for her help.
However, she tactfully told him that she was still recovering in the hospital, so it was inconvenient for her to help. “Tyler, you should listen to your brother and stop making him angry.”
As Tyler was about to give up all hope, Sonia arrived in the end.
Not only did she help him teach those parents a lesson, she stood firmly on his side and without making him fear Toby, she said to him, “I want you to play this game seriously.”
As Tyler lifted his head and stared at Sonia in front of him, his eyes seemed to be shrouded in golden light even though the sky had darkened and the sun was already gone. Yet, he looked at her in awe, as if she was his savior.
After shoving the contract into his bag, he caught up to her and walked alongside her. “Sonia, you look so good in this outfit today and it really brings out your figure. No supermodel can outshine you!”
Listening to his words, Sonia was left speechless. The moment she turned around and saw the gullible sincerity in his eyes, she could feel the goosebumps all over her body.
While rubbing her arm, she said, “I’m not a part of the family anymore, so you should call me Miss Reed.”
“Yes, Miss Reed.” He was quick to change his words.
After she helped him out so much, he wouldn’t even hesitate to call her his mother at the moment.
When they arrived in front of the car, he quickly took a step forward to open the back door of the car. “Miss Reed, please have a seat. Be careful with your head.”
Sonia, on the other hand, felt awkward about the situation, so she quickly got into the car.
“What are you doing?” Zane came over and nudged Tyler. “Why are you so attentive with her? Do you actually fancy your ex-sister-in-law?” he asked with great interest.
“What are you thinking about? I’m only sixteen!”
