That was the first time Sonia called Toby after their divorce, so he wondered what she was up to.

“Tyler is at my place. President Fuller, please take him home.” The sight of the boy on the doormat was giving Sonia a headache.

Toby frowned. “Tyler is at your place again?”

“Yeah, and he’s not budging no matter what I do.”

“I get it. I’ll be there in a moment,” Toby replied.

Since Sonia had nothing else to tell him, she hung up directly after that. Toby glanced at the screen that had already reverted to the menu page while pulling his lips into a thin line. Then, he stood up to head out of the office. Around an hour later, he arrived in front of Sonia’s apartment unit.

“Toby?” Tyler shot up from where he sat, frightened by Toby’s arrival. “Why are you here?”

“I came to bring you home,” Toby answered solemnly after taking a look at the door behind Tyler.

With his head hung low, Tyler dared not disobey his brother. “Toby, how did you know I’m here?”

Instead of replying to Tyler’s question, Toby stepped forward to knock on the door, which opened soon after. Sonia leaned against the shoe cabinet while supporting herself with a crutch.

There was a look of concern in Toby’s eyes when he took in the state that Sonia was in; even his tone softened when he spoke. “How’s your leg doing?”

“It’s fine. At least it’s not broken,” Sonia answered nonchalantly.

Meanwhile, Tyler glanced at Sonia, and then at Toby. “You don’t seem all that surprised by her injury, Toby. Did you already know that she’s injured?”
