Chapter 5

After bidding goodbye to Charles and Carl, Sonia returned to her father’s old house. There was dusteverywhere in the house, which meant it had not been cleaned for a long time. Immediately, Sonia puton her apron and began to clean up. From under the sofa, she found a wedding photo with Toby. In thephoto, 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 placed next to it. The diary recordedwhat Toby liked to eat, use, and a list of his hobbies. Previously, her life revolved around Toby. Shetried hard to manage this hard-won marriage, but the reality gave her a resounding slap. Thinking ofthis, Sonia raised her head and forced herself to hold back her tears. In the next second, a messagealert rang out, and when she picked it up, she found out Carl had sent it. ‘Sonia, you helped me sixyears 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 andsimply wanted to repay her, she didn’t want to rely on anyone anymore. Since marrying Toby, she hadput away all her temperament and personality in order to be a good wife; she almost forgot how cooland carefree she used to be. Picking up the phone, Sonia dialed a number. “Sonia, what else do youwant?” Toby’s indifferent voice rang out on the other end. Her voice was also cold, as if he were astranger. “Tomorrow is Monday. Remember to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorceprocedures.” Toby frowned. “You—” Before he could finish talking, she hung up the phone, leavingToby holding his phone tightly with his cold eyes staring blankly into space. “Toby, who called you?” Onthe bed in their bedroom, Tina looked over curiously at the balcony where Toby was standing. Hearingthis, Toby put his phone away and pretended as if nothing had happened. He then walked overindifferently and pressed on the quilt covering her. “It’s nothing. Take your medicine first.” Tina’s paleface would make anyone feel sympathetic for her; she held the man’s hand and pouted pitifully. “Themedicine is too bitter, and the taste is so strong it makes me feel sick.” Toby raised his eyebrows. “Butwhen we were pen pals, didn’t you say that you were not afraid of the bitterness in medicines? Begood. You’ll heal faster after you drink the medicine.” He only said it casually, but he didn’t noticesomething flashing in Tina’s eyes. Soon, she raised her face again. Her big eyes were watery as shesaid, “Okay. You know I’ll always listen to you.” Tina had been in a coma for six years. She was thin,

and her face was pale, but her personality remained the same as when she was still in school. Seeingher 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!” Afterleaving the room, Toby went downstairs and saw Jean walking over with a bowl of ginseng soup. “IsTina feeling better?” “She just finished her medicine and is talking on the phone with her parents.” Jeansmiled. “Toby, Tina’s father is the chairman of Triforce Enterprise. Since he agreed for us to bring Tinaover, this means he’s also agreed to the marriage between the both of you. So we have to treat herwell and never neglect her needs.” Seeing his mother taking care of Tina, Toby suddenly rememberedthe time when Sonia caught a cold last year. At the time, Jean got angry and wrecked stuff downstairs,wanting Sonia to prepare dinner; the latter could only drag her sick body downstairs to cook. As soonas Toby felt a little bit complicated in his heart, the feeling was cut off when he remembered how shecrashed into Tina with her car and took advantage of the situation to get married to him—she broughteverything on herself. While Toby was deep in his thoughts, Jean looked left and right. “Where did Tylergo? I haven’t seen him all day.” As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open witha bang, and Tyler emerged with a gloomy face, full of anger. “Tyler! What happened to you?” Jean putdown 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 Soniaat the bar today. She was very close to a male model, and it seems they have an unusual relationship.”Toby’s face turned cold. “Who was it?”
