This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 85

Meanwhile, in the Fuller Residence, Tyler was doing some letter-reading as well. Even after going through the letter a few times, he still managed to find something new each time. Specifically, he realized that most of the daily routines and hobbies that John described in the letter sounded similar to Toby’s. The most obvious similarity between them was John’s handwriting. However, John’s handwriting looked just a little messier than Toby’s neat and straight words.

If Tyler weren’t aware of the fact that Toby’s pen pal was Tina, he would’ve thought that the person Toby used to write to was actually Sonia. After a while, Tyler folded the letter and put it back into the envelope to keep it away. Sonia must’ve told me to throw it away only because she was angry that I took the letter without her permission. I’m not going to throw it away; I’ll just return it to her in the future. Tyler let out a scoff as he placed the letter into his drawer.

Someone knocked on his door right after that. “The food’s ready, Young Master Tyler.”

“I’m coming!” Tyler replied as he stood up from his chair.

He was greeted with Tina’s gentle smile once he got downstairs. “Tyler.”

“You’re here, Tina.” Tyler returned the smile.

Tina nodded while she spoke. “Madam White invited me over for a meal.”

“I see,” Tyler said as he shot Jean a glance. “Mom,” he muttered flatly. Jean simply let out an uninterested grunt. She ignored his greeting and walked off to the dining area. Tyler shot Toby a helpless glance, and Toby responded with a slight nod.

Tyler’s eyes lit up immediately. “Great! Thanks, Toby!” He jumped in excitement. Toby’s the best indeed—I knew he’d be able to convince Mom about this.

“You should thank Tina as well. She spoke up for you too,” Toby said as he held onto Tina’s hand.

Tyler froze for a moment before he turned around to stare at Tina with a look of disbelief. “Did you speak up for me as well, Tina?”

Tina tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she flashed Tyler a warm smile. “I simply gave Madam White a few words of advice.” Tina was secretly pleased that Tyler enjoyed playing basketball—that way, he wouldn’t fight for the family inheritance with his elder brother. She would be Toby’s wife in the future, and she would never allow the Fuller Family’s wealth to fall into the hands of someone else. Not even if that someone was Toby’s younger brother!

Meanwhile, Tyler was still stunned over the fact that Tina had been willing to help him. Although he couldn’t believe it, he obediently thanked her for the help. For some reason, I still feel like she’s a little fake. When I last asked her to help me sign the contract for the basketball team, she rejected me and said that she didn’t want to make Mom unhappy. Yet, she voluntarily spoke up for me this time. Isn’t she afraid that my mom would feel unhappy this time?

Tina sensed that Tyler wasn’t genuinely thankful toward her because of his rather monotonous ‘thank you.’ She scrunched her face into a sad expression as she felt rather uneasy. “Are you displeased by the fact that I spoke up for you, Tyler? Why do I feel like you’re not actually happy about this?”

“What?” Tyler was confused. Since when did I say that I’m displeased? Since when did I put on an unhappy expression?

Tina bit onto her lower lip when Tyler didn’t respond to her immediately. Then, she turned to look at Toby with a helpless expression on her face. “Did I do something wrong, Toby?”

“No, of course not.” Toby stroked her hair before he shifted his gaze to his brother. “I think you owe Tina an apology, Tyler.”

“But… Why should I apologize to her?” Tyler was utterly dazed. I didn’t say or do anything wrong. She’s the one who’s overthinking it—what has that got to do with me?

“It’s fine, Toby. Forget about it.” Tina tugged on Toby’s sleeve to hint him to drop the matter. Toby patted the back of her hand before darkening his expression and addressing Tyler in a stern tone. “I told you to apologize. Do you hear me?” he barked.

At that moment, Tyler felt wholly misunderstood. However, he couldn’t go against Toby’s strong aura, so he ended up apologizing to Tina. “I’m sorry, Tina.”

She waved it off. “It’s fine.”
