This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“There’s no need to check on him. You should just let him stay on his own since that’s what he likes best.” Although Jean spoke in a harsh and resentful tone, she didn’t physically hold Toby back as he headed upstairs. Tyler was her biological son, after all; no mother would have the heart to act so cruelly toward their child! Toby headed for the stairs after finishing his sentence as he knew that Jean didn’t truly mean what she said.

“Open the door, Tyler.” Toby stopped outside Tyler’s door before rapping his knuckles against it. Toby was greeted with Tyler’s swollen eyes once Tyler opened the door. “Toby,” Tyler muttered.

“Did you cry earlier?” Toby raised an eyebrow.

Tyler hastily raised his arms to rub his eyes furiously. “No, I didn’t,” he replied in an indignant tone. His words put a slight smirk on Toby’s face, but Toby decided not to expose his lie. “Can I come in for a talk?” Toby asked instead.

“Sure.” Tyler nodded and stepped aside for Toby to enter the room, and he followed behind Toby after Toby went in. “Didn’t you promise me that you’d help me convince Mom to let me focus on my basketball? Mom’s nagging me to quit the team, and she doesn’t even allow me to join the training now. The U17 Youth Expedition Competition happens the day after tomorrow, and I have been missing my training. My coach is mad at me.” In fact, Tyler’s coach had called him earlier and told him that he would be removed from the team if he were to miss more training. Tyler had put in a lot of effort to get into the basketball team, and he didn’t want to get kicked out so soon.

Meanwhile, Toby twisted his features into an exasperated look. “Mom did promise me that she would allow you to play basketball—I don’t know what drove her sudden change of mind. Don’t worry; I’ll talk to her later.”

“What’s the point of talking? What if she agrees now but changes her mind later?” Tyler plopped on the edge of the bed as he spoke in an annoyed tone.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get Grandma to pay a visit when that happens,” Toby said as he strode over to lean against the desk.

Tyler’s eyes lit up immediately. “That’s right. We should get Grandma to come. Mom’s terrified of Grandma.”

Toby grunted in agreement and was about to say something when he noticed something from the corner of his eye. There was a letter on the table that looked like it had been around for a while. Its paper was yellow and worn. However, that didn’t matter much to Toby. What mattered was that the envelope looked really familiar to him.

In the past, when Toby and Tina were still pen pals, they would use the exact same envelopes. “Why do you have one of my letters to Tina with you?” Toby held the envelope up and shot Tyler a look of displeasure.

Tyler jumped in surprise before he snatched the envelope away from Toby. “That’s not one of your letters to Tina.” Tyler had gotten the envelope from Sonia, so it couldn’t have belonged to Tina.
