Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again
Chapter 227

Chapter 227

Tina felt her heart sinking-she had no idea why Rose would pose her such a question. "Y-Yeah..."She forced a smile.

A thoughtful smile surfaced on Rose's lips. “That's odd. Toby told me that the both of you used tobe pen-pals and that the both of you knew each other's preferences and interests. Yet, you're tellingme that you don’t know what Toby's favorite flower is. Are you sure you're his pen-pal?”

Tina's pupils shrank as she immediately lowered her gaze to conceal the panic and uneasiness in hereyes. "Of course. However, the six-year period I spent being in a coma really affected many parts ofmy memory-Toby knows about this as well.” She tried her best to remain calm and firm as shespoke. In some ways, Tina had tied the situation back to Toby, as if to show Rose that Toby wasn'tbothered by her memory loss. In that case, Rose wouldn't be able to hang on to this matter even ifshe still suspected Tina.

“Is that so?” Rose raised her head a little. It wasn't clear if she trusted Tina's words. At that moment,someone threw the door open with great force. Jean stormed in while cursing, and Rose'sexpression darkened instantly. “What's with all the fuss? Don't you know this is a hospital?” Rosebarked.

When Jean realized that Rose was in the room, all hints of hatred and anger disappeared from herface as she put on a smile. “I just forgot about it for a moment, Mom.”

“Hmph. You've been in the Fuller Family for tens of years now, yet you're still as loud and rough asever. You haven't improved at all,” Rose uttered angrily. Although Jean wasn't pleased to hear this,she didn't have the guts to go against Rose.

“Madam White,” Tina greeted with a smile.

“Ah, you're here too, Tina.” Jean looked more pleased when she saw Tina around.

“Yeah. Toby got into such a huge accident-of course I have to pay him a visit. I'm his fiancée, afterall. My parents would've dropped by if they hadn't been too occupied with work,” Tina said with afaint smile as she ran her fingers through her hair.

Jean walked over and sat down next to Tina before she patted the younger woman's hand gently.“You're a good girl. Toby's lucky to have you around,” Jean uttered. She was thoroughly satisfiedwith Tina.

“Madam White...” Tina's cheeks were flushed as she lowered her head bashfully.

Rose sniggered when she saw this. “Luck? I don't think so. I just pray that she doesn't ruin the wholeFuller Family with her presence.”

Upon hearing this comment, Tina's expression stiffened. She could no longer put on a bashful look-her gaze was filled with hatred instead. This old hag just loves to pick on me, huh. Even Jeanseemed rather displeased. “Tina's the fiancée Toby chose for himself, Mom. I don't think it's nice ofyou to say that.”

"What's wrong with what I said? It's the truth, isn't it? Everyone knows about what happened at theSouthfield Family's party last night; everyone knows that your son's fiancée is more than a simplewoman. She's going to deal with you once she officially turns into Toby's wife,” Rose uttered in asharp and mocking tone.

"You're too much, Mom. How could Tina possibly do that to me? Am I right, Tina?" Jean soundedrather uncertain as she turned to look at the younger woman beside her.

Tina nodded hastily. Don’t worry, Madam White. You're Toby's mother and someone I respect; Iwould never do such a thing to you.”

"Did you hear that?” Any uncertainty that Jean had felt earlier was thrown to the back of her mind asshe shot Rose a gloating smirk.

What a dumb b*tch, Rose thought in her head. Rose couldn't be bothered to interact with the bothof them anymore

“By the way, Madam White, what's up with your clothes? Why are they so damp and wrinkled?”Tina ran her fingers across Jean's sleeve as she spoke.

Jean's face turned sour immediately. “It's all because of Sonia, that b*tch. She splashed water allover me! I swear, if,”

“You went to see Sonia?” Rose smacked her hand on the bedside table as she interrupted Jean'swords.

Jean's eyes roamed the room to avoid Rose's gaze. “..."

"Stop mumbling. Tell me—did you go to Sonia's place or not?” Rose asked with a grim expression.Jean had no choice but to open up about it. “That's right. I went to look for her! It's all her fault thatToby got into an accident, after all!” she uttered with her muscles tensed.

Tina clenched her fists upon hearing Jean's words. What? Sonia's the one who caused Toby'saccident?

"Who told you that his accident is Sonia's fault?” Rose was fuming as she glared in Jean's direction.Jean scoffed. “Toby got into an accident outside Bayside Residence, which is where Sonia lives. I'mcertain that Sonia isn't over Toby-she must have called him over at night because she wants to getmarried to him again. That was why he ended up in an accident. Whose fault is it if not Sonia's?”Half of Tina's face was covered by her shadow as she hung her head low to conceal the hatredwritten all over her face. When she woke up that morning, her father told her that Toby had gotteninto an accident at about 11.00PM the night before, so Tina had rushed over to the hospital aftergetting the news. She hadn't bothered to ask where the accident had happened. I can't believe hisaccident was just outside Bayside Residence. That explains why he refused to come and visit me-hewas going to meet Sonia. Tina's body trembled at the thought of it.

"What is it, Tina?” Jean was quick to notice Tina's actions. When Tina lifted her head, her eyes werered and watery. “I'm fine... I just...” she croaked.

"You're just unhappy after hearing that Toby went to Sonia’s, huh?” Rose smirked. Tina wentspeechless for a moment.

Jean smacked her own thigh out of anger. “That nasty b*tch!”

“I think Sonia went easy on you if all she did was splash water on you.” Rose shot Jean a cold glare.Jean wasn't pleased by this. “Why are you always siding with an outsider, Mom?”

"Why is Sonia an outsider? Even though she’s no longer my granddaughter-in-law, she feels like agranddaughter to me. I'm much closer to her than I am to you guys,” Rose uttered scornfully.

Tina got to her feet then. “I'll leave now, Madam White. I don’t think Old Mrs. Fuller welcomes mypresence in this room.”

Rose let out a snigger, but she didn't bother to say anything else. Jean got to her feet as well."Aren“t you going to wait for Toby to wake up, Tina?" Jean asked.

“I'll just come over when Toby's awake. I'll need you to let me know when that happens, MadamWhite.” Tina sent a longing gaze in the direction of the man on the bed before she grabbed her bagand left. She was afraid that she would accidentally strangle the old woman to death if she didn'tleave soon.

Once she left the ward, Tina took a deep breath. All signs of sadness evaporated from her face allthat was left was a bone-chilling, hateful look in her eyes. She pulled her phone out and tapped onit a few times before placing it against her ear. “Hello, Tim. I need to see you!”

In a dim basement somewhere, Tim's glasses reflected the light in the room as he smirked andresponded to Tina's words. “Okay. I'll meet you at the same place we last met.”

After ending the call, Tim held the phone in front of his face and made another call.

Meanwhile, Sonia and Carl were having a chat at Paradigm Co. Sonia poured him a cup of coffee."Don’t you have work today? Aren't you worried that your manager would be looking for you afteryou come here?”

“I just completed two months of filming at the glaciers, so the company specially arranged for me toget one week off from work. They want me to get some rest and readjust myself to the time zonehere,” Carl explained in a gentle voice after he took a sip of coffee.

“I see.” Sonia nodded.

“I hope I'm not bothering you. You aren't trying to shoo me away, are you?” He gazed at Sonia withpuppy eyes.

She chuckled. “Of course not. You're like a younger brother to me, I would never see you as aninconvenience to me.”

A joyful look returned to Carl's face for a while, but his smile didn't seem to reach his eyes. Ayounger brother? But I'm all grown up now.

“By the way, did you see the news today?” Carl asked abruptly.

Sonia had been glancing through her documents, and she tilted her head puzzledly when she heardCarl's words. “Are you referring to the accident that Toby was involved in?”
