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 sce here after getting into a


    fight?”


    “You’re my sister-inw.”


    “Former sister-inw.”


    “Well, even if you’re divorced, you’re still my sister-inw!” 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 cor. 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 pped 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 amodated 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 Jeany 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


    p 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 thepany.


    I like ying basketball! What’s wrong with that anyway?! I ended up having a row with her and she


    pped me in anger.”


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


    herughter.


    He red. “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 p 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.


    ept this gift ande 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.”


    “I did not get into any mischief!” Tyler shot her a look before he continued in a lowered voice, “The


    coach for the national team will be here this Saturday to select yers to join the team for training


    at their base camp. If I pass the tryouts, then I’ll be able to join the national team. However, they


    need to discuss this with my guardian...”


    Sonia finally realized what he was after and she immediately rejected, “No! I no longer have any


    rtionship with your family, so I can’t get involved in this. Besides, your mom wants you to join


    Fuller Group and assist with the running of the family business in the future. She’s definitely going to


    ughter me if I help you enter the national team.”


    “I’ll take full responsibility if anything goes wrong. I definitely won’t implicate you!” He raised his right


    hand and swore an oath. “Sonia, you’re the only one who can help me.”


    “I know I used to behave in a rude manner toward you in the past and was disrespectful, but that


    was because I thought that you bullied Tina and was trying to take her spot in Tony’s heart. Besides,


    Mom kept onining about you, so I naturally didn’t have a good impression of you...”


    “Well, it seems that you’re quite happy to have Tina as your sister-inw. You even shared the story


    about my tattoo with her.” She was quite annoyed upon recalling that. “Why don’t you go and look


    for Tina then? I’m sure she would be more than happy to help you.”


    “Huh?” Tyler was stunned for a moment. “I never told her that you had a tattoo!”


    Sonia fixed her eyes on him. “Are you sure that you didn’t say anything to her?” “I didn’t say a word


    at all!”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She replied, “If you didn’t say anything, how would she have known about it?”


    “I think she might have eavesdropped while I was talking on the phone,” Tyler replied with guilt. “I


    spoke on the phone and asked my ssmate whether it hurt to get a tattoo done. Iined


    about you by saying that you were overly obsessed with Toby to the point of getting a tattoo of his


    name on your body. That’s all I said.”


    “You’re such a brat!” Sonia stared at him with a dry smile. “Well, I’m quite sure that you’re Madam


    White’s biological son. There are no doubts about that.”


    “What do you mean by that?” “You’re exactly like her. Both of you have the same mean disposition


    and you can’t control yourself from bad-mouthing others.” The look of scorn in her eyes was quite


    evident. “You’ve somehow inherited all of her faults that Toby managed to avoid.”


    Tyler’s face flushed bright red as he was angered beyond speechlessness. He was about to rebuke


    her and share his positive traits when the cell phone on the coffee table rang. The moment Tyler


    noticed on the caller ID that it was Toby, Tyler felt his heart sinking.


    Sonia had noticed it as well and she immediately tapped to answer the phone call before she


    ced it on loudspeaker before Tyler could respond. “President Fuller, did you make this call


    because you realized that your little brother’s missing?


    There was a short pause on the other end before a low male voice rang out, “Tyler, meet me at the


    South Entrance in three minutes.”


    “Toby. I can’t make it there in three minutes!” Tyler eximed but he didn’t dare to oppose Toby,


    “She lives near the North Entrance.”


    “Two minutes.” Toby’s voice sounded colder than before.
