Chapter 147


    Chapter 147,Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again!


    She was just bitten by a snake that morning, but after she woke up, Toby didn’t even ask her if she was


    fine, nor did he even look at her. That indifference was, of course, unbearable for her. Toby sipped


    some soup. “I do not,” he answered coolly. That attitude didn’t sit right with Tina, but she bit her lip and


    forced a smile.


    “Are you sure? I “Alright, enough. Finish your dinner.” Toby interrupted her impatiently. Tina started


    tearing up, but everyone on the other side of the table startedughing silently. She knew they were


    laughing at her, and her face contorted with rage. However, she couldn’t re up, and that annoyed her


    greatly’ Toby finished his dinner a short whileter and left the dining room after wiping his mouth


    elegantly. On the other hand, Tina was only halfway through her dinner, but since Toby left without


    waiting for her, she suddenly lost her appetite. Thus, she put her cutlery down and went up to him; she


    couldn’t eat without him.


    “Toby!” Tina caught up to him and held his arm, though she was slightly out of breath. “What


    happened? You’re not like yourself.” Toby simply pursed his lips and kept his silence. Tina stared at him


    with tearful eyes. “Is it because of something I did? Is that why you’re ignoring me? Please, tell me


    everything.

    I don’t want you ignoring me.” Right at that moment, Toby turned around. “Tell me the truth, Tina. You


    noticed the snake before everyone else this morning, didn’t you? And you startled it so it’d bite Sonia,


    right?” Tina’s face fell. “Why do you think so, Toby?” “Because Reba saw everything.


    You smiled when the snake attacked Sonia, as if you knew that would happen.” Toby shot her a


    quizzical re. Tina opened her mouth, but she couldn’t look him in the eye, so she stared downward


    and sobbed. “I-I didn’t. I didn’t know the snake would attack Sonia.” “You didn’t know?” Toby frowned.


    “Yes. I was talking with Miss Reed beside the creek, then I suddenly cked out. I was surprised when


    you told me I was bitten by a snake, but the funny thing was that I had no recollection of it at all.”


    “You’re saying your alter ego did this?” Toby pursed his lips. Tina shook her head.


    “I don’t know, but since you said Reba saw me smiling when the snake was attacking Miss Reed, I


    think my alter ego had taken over back then.” Toby massaged his forehead. “Of all the times she could


    show up, she chose that moment?” Tina’s been acting normal when she met Sonia these past couple


    of days.


    Why’d her alter ego suddenly show up? “Maybe my alter ego heard what Miss Reed told me, so…”


    Tina bit her lip. “What did she say?” Toby squinted. A bitter smile curled Tina’s lips. “Miss Reed said


    Tyler took their side because I’m evil. She even said you’ll leave me at this rate.” “Sonia wouldn’t say


    something like that.”


    Toby defended Sonia instinctively. Tina’s face contorted, but only for a moment. “Toby, you think I’m


    lying?” She gazed at him sadly. Toby stared downward. “No, but Sonia wouldn’t say something like


    that. I know she won’t.”


    “So you think she’s more trustworthy than I am?” Tina’s eyes widened in disbelief. The bickering was


    tiring Toby out, but still he answered patiently, “I’m not saying that.” “But you think she didn’t say that to


    me either, don’t you?” Tina’s voice broke. Toby sighed. “Sorry for doubting you. Maybe I’ve been too


    biased about Sonia.”


    Tina’s alter ego would only show up when she’s under stress. Maybe Sonia did say something to


    trigger her. Tina felt smug that she managed to make Toby cave once again by acting innocent. She


    hugged him and leaned against his chest. “It’s fine. I forgive you.” Toby stared down at her, but he


    didn’t hug her back. In fact, he had a sudden urge to shove her away. He didn’t know why he had that


    urge, and he didn’t want to waste his time figuring it out either, so he held his disgust down.


    “I’ll get you a psychologist after we go back tomorrow, Tina.” “A psychologist?” Tina stopped smiling


    and stared at him. Toby nodded. “Your alter ego’s too dangerous. She must be stopped.” “But—” “Tina.”


    Toby held her head and gazed into her eyes. “This isn’t the first time your alter ego is trying to kill


    Sonia.


    As long as she’s here, she’ll try to kill Sonia. I can’t clean up her mess forever, do you understand?”


    Tina could feel her heart getting squeezed by something. “You’re saying you’ll break up with me if I


    don’t get rid of my alter ego?” “Yes,” Toby answered without hesitation, for he knew he wouldn’t ept


    a cruel woman as his wife, nor would his family. He was only tolerating her out of love, but his love


    would be eroded eventually.


    Toby’s affirmation was a bombshell for Tina. At that moment, she realized she couldn’t rely on her ‘alter


    ego’ excuse every time she was attacking Sonia, or Toby would end up hating her. Good thing I found


    out about it in time. “I understand. I’ll work with you.” She nodded hastily. Toby patted her head. “That’s


    good to hear.”


    Tina smiled, but when she looked down, the demure look in her eyes was reced by darkness. Looks


    like I have to kill Sonia as soon as possible. As soon as I get rid of her, I won’t have to fake my


    personality disorder anymore. Toby won’t end up hating me, and he won’t fall for her anymore after


    she’s dead.


    When she reached that thought though, her stomach started gurgling. Toby looked at her. “Are you still


    hungry?” She nodded. “I couldn’t work up my appetite since you were ignoring me.” Toby held her


    hand. “Let’s go back and get you something to eat.” “No. I don’t want to face them.


    They won’t want me there either.” Tina shook her head. Toby knew how much Tina was hated by


    everyone, so he didn’t say anything. A momentter, he rubbed his forehead in frustration. “Give me a


    minute. I’ll get you some snacks. It’s not the best, but it should be enough for the time being.”


    “Alright.” Tina smiled. Toby let her go before he went back to the dining room, and everyone was


    surprised he came back. “Are you still hungry, Toby?” Tyler was curious when he saw Toby filling a


    te with snacks. Toby put his tongs down. “It’s Tina’s. She’s still hungry.” Tyler pouted when he heard


    that.


    “That woman again? Why didn’t shee down by herself? She thinks you’re her ve or


    something?” Thement was shrugged off, and Toby went to the other side of the table. When he


    noticed there was mango in the fruit tter, he wanted to get some for Tina. However, Charles stopped


    him at once when he saw it. “Hold it. That’s Sonia’s.”


    Sonia’s? Toby looked up and stared at Sonia in surprise. “You like mangoes?” “Do you have an issue


    with that?” Sonia stared back at him calmly. “No,” Toby answered. Charles snorted.


    “Sonia has liked mangoes ever since she was a kid. I asked the chef to make this specifically for her.


    Tell the chef to make one for you if you want it so much.”
