This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“That’s right,” Rose admitted with resignation. “I was so mad back then. I trusted your mother so much. I thought even if she didn’t love your father, she still wouldn’t divorce him immediately because she wanted to be a responsible mother to you. I thought she’d treat you well because of it. Yes, she had indeed treated you well, but who’d have thought she selfishly raised you to be a man’s double? You’re my grandson and the Fuller Family’s third successor. How can you become some person’s double? I’m sure you wouldn’t want to even if you’re from an ordinary household.”

“You’re right. I don’t.” Toby nodded in agreement.

This was his pride.

In fact, it was anyone’s pride.

Everyone came into this world as a unique individual. No one would be willing to be anyone’s double, be it the rich or the poor.

“See what I mean? How am I supposed to tolerate your mother’s behavior?” Rose tapped her cane. “So, I came up with an excuse to take you away from Fuller Residence, saying that you need to come and learn here. I couldn’t continue letting you stay by your mother’s side, for you’ll eventually become a second Connor. I couldn’t watch my own grandson become someone else, so I tried to turn your character around. Yet, who’d have thought I was still one step too late? Your character had basically fully formed by then and I couldn’t shape it anymore.”

She shook her head woefully at that. “I had no choice but to let you be, but six years ago—I don’t know what happened—your personality did a complete one-eighty, leading you to finally behave as you do now. I’m not going to lie. I was genuinely happy.”

“I know.” Toby walked up to his grandmother and held her hand. “Sorry for making you worry all these years, Grandma.”

At that, Rose patted the back of his hand with gratification. “I’m your grandmother. It’s only natural that I’d be worried about my own grandson. Fortunately, everything I’ve done wasn’t for nothing. You’ve finally abandoned the personality your mother shaped you and lived like yourself.”

Though he was aloof and somewhat exasperated, as long as he was himself and not forcibly shaped by others, she would be pleased no matter how.

“Alright, I’ve said all that I should and even told you your parents’ history. Is there anything else you want to know?” Rose took a sip of her tea as she looked at Toby, who shook his head in response.

“Not at the moment––no. My main purpose for coming over today is to find all this out. Thank you for clarifying, Grandma.”
