Chapter 5


    After bidding goodbye to Charles and Carl, Sonia returned to her father’s old house. There was dust


    everywhere in the house, which meant it had not been cleaned for a long time. Immediately, Sonia put


    on her apron and began to clean up. From under the sofa, she found a wedding photo with Toby. In the


    photo, she was smiling like a flower; meanwhile, Toby, who was standing next to her, was indifferent,


    with impatience between his eyebrows. There was also her diary ced next to it. The diary recorded


    what Toby liked to eat, use, and a list of his hobbies. Previously, her life revolved around Toby. She


    tried hard to manage this hard-won marriage, but the reality gave her a resounding p. Thinking of


    this, Sonia raised her head and forced herself to hold back her tears. In the next second, a message


    alert rang out, and when she picked it up, she found out Carl had sent it. ‘Sonia, you helped me six


    years ago, and now, I will help you. Let go of your past and do anything you want. I will be your backer.’


    Warmth enveloped Sonia’s heart as she read it. Although she knew Carl said it out of good-will and


    simply wanted to repay her, she didn’t want to rely on anyone anymore. Since marrying Toby, she had


    put away all her temperament and personality in order to be a good wife; she almost forgot how cool


    and carefree she used to be. Picking up the phone, Sonia dialed a number. “Sonia, what else do you


    want?” Toby’s indifferent voice rang out on the other end. Her voice was also cold, as if he were a


    stranger. “Tomorrow is Monday. Remember to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce


    procedures.” Toby frowned. “You—” Before he could finish talking, she hung up the phone, leaving


    Toby holding his phone tightly with his cold eyes staring nkly into space. “Toby, who called you?” On


    the bed in their bedroom, Tina looked over curiously at the balcony where Toby was standing. Hearing


    this, Toby put his phone away and pretended as if nothing had happened. He then walked over


    indifferently and pressed on the quilt covering her. “It’s nothing. Take your medicine first.” Tina’s pale


    face would make anyone feel sympathetic for her; she held the man’s hand and pouted pitifully. “The


    medicine is too bitter, and the taste is so strong it makes me feel sick.” Toby raised his eyebrows. “But


    when we were pen pals, didn’t you say that you were not afraid of the bitterness in medicines? Be


    good. You’ll heal faster after you drink the medicine.” He only said it casually, but he didn’t notice


    something shing in Tina’s eyes. Soon, she raised her face again. Her big eyes were watery as she


    said, “Okay. You know I’ll always listen to you.” Tina had been in aa for six years. She was thin,


    and her face was pale, but her personality remained the same as when she was still in school. Seeing


    her this way, Toby felt sorry for her. “Next time, I will get Tom to change the liquid medicine to pills.”


    Tina smiled sweetly before she put her arms around his and acted like a baby. “You’re the best!” After


    leaving the room, Toby went downstairs and saw Jean walking over with a bowl of ginseng soup. “Is


    Tina feeling better?” “She just finished her medicine and is talking on the phone with her parents.” Jean


    smiled. “Toby, Tina’s father is the chairman of Triforce Enterprise. Since he agreed for us to bring Tina


    over, this means he’s also agreed to the marriage between the both of you. So we have to treat her


    well and never neglect her needs.” Seeing his mother taking care of Tina, Toby suddenly remembered


    the time when Sonia caught a coldst year. At the time, Jean got angry and wrecked stuff downstairs,


    wanting Sonia to prepare dinner; thetter could only drag her sick body downstairs to cook. As soon


    as Toby felt a little bitplicated in his heart, the feeling was cut off when he remembered how she


    crashed into Tina with her car and took advantage of the situation to get married to him—she brought


    everything on herself. While Toby was deep in his thoughts, Jean looked left and right. “Where did Tyler


    go? I haven’t seen him all day.” As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open with


    a bang, and Tyler emerged with a gloomy face, full of anger. “Tyler! What happened to you?” Jean put


    down the bowl quickly and went to check on her younger son. Tyler swung her hand away. “I’m fine,


    Mom.” Soon after, he looked at his elder brother with a hesitant expression and said, “Toby, I saw Sonia


    at the bar today. She was very close to a male model, and it seems they have an unusual rtionship.”


    Toby’s face turned cold. “Who was it?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
