Chapter 33

Sonia quickly pulled down the sleeves of

her sweater to cover the wordings of her tattoo before she opened the door. She

was surprised when she saw Toby and

Tina standing right outside the door

because she never expected them to

come.

Toby wore a black suit while next to him

was Tina, who wore a champagne-colored

evening gown that made her look fair and

beautiful. Both of them looked compatible

with each other when they stood together.

When he saw Sonia’s messy hair and pink

cheeks, he immediately became colder

and asked her in a low voice, “Where’s

Tyler7”

responded in a gentle manner, “We are here to pick Tyler up. Can you ask him to come out quickly?”

Sonia turned around to yell into the house, “Tyler, your brother and your sister–in–law are here. I’m not

the one who told them about your location. Your brother is the

one who installed location services on your phone and found you from there.”

When Tyler saw his brother, his shoulders

slumped in a slightly lazy manner as he slowly walked out of the house with his

bag.

When the three of them were about to

leave, she called after them, “President

Fuller, your brother used my medicine and

ate two bowls of beef noodles at my

place. Aren’t vou plannina to pay for it?”

Tyler replied angrily. “How much does two bowls of beef noodles cosi? Since when have you been so

stingy?”

“Well, beef is quite expensive now. Apart

from that, we are not related to each other

anymore. So why would I allow you to eat

for free here?”

He was speechless upon hearing that.

Meanwhile, Toby took out five pieces of

cash and passed them to Sonia with an

indifferent expression on his face. “Is this

enough?”

“Yes. Thank you, President Fuller. Have a

nice journey back home.” After receiving

the money, she closed the door

immediately without a second glance at

them.

The three of them then took the elevator down. After they entered the car. Toby finally asked Tyler, “Why

didn’t you head to the hotel and instead come to Sonia’s place? What’s going on with the injuries on

your face?”

Tyler was feeling rather defeated in front of his brother. Upon hearing Toby’s questions, he immediately

and truthfully

replied, “I had a fight with my classmates. I

know that you were having dinner with Tina’s family and I thought that it’s not a good idea to go to dinner

while looking like this. So, I asked sis-I mean, Sonia-to bail

me out and had dinner at her place

instead.”

When Tina heard that Tyler still referred to

Sonia as his sister-in-law, her fingers

clenched.

Tina took the medical kit in her car to gently deal with the injuries on his arms while speaking in a

soothing tone, “Tyler, if you get into trouble in the future, just call me or Toby. We are a family now, so

don’t worry about troubling us. Apart from that, Miss Reed already has a boyfriend. It’s not appropriate

for you to continue troubling her like this. I’m sure her boyfriend would

mind.”

At this moment, he remembered how

Sonia had teased him during dinner earlier

while feeling slightly uncomfortable, “She

seems to be staying alone. She’s not living

together with that guy.”

Toby shot a glance at him through the

rearview mirror. He did not know why he

felt relaxed upon hearing Tyler’s words.

“Maybe they have a different abode.” Tina

gave a gentle smile. “Your wounds have been disinfected. Does it still huri?”

“Not anymore. Thank you, Tina.” Tyler

smiled. Tina is so gentle and she speaks

softly. She’s much better than Sonia!

After closing the medical kit, she casually spoke to Toby. “Toby, I heard that you already asked Tom to

deal with the news in our circle, right? It’s just a small matter, so we didn’t expect the employees from

Paradigm Co. to record a video and upload

it online. The video became viral among

the circle and ruined your mother’s

reputation, which affected yours as well.”

“What do you mean, Tina? Are you

suspecting that Sonia asked her

employees to record the video?” Tyler

asked in confusion

“That’s not what I meant.” Tina replied

hastily. “I just thought that Sonia might have known about this long ago and restricted her employees so

that the video would not spread like wildfire among their

department.”

“Paradigm Co. has many employees. Even if she had warned them, those who didn’t

mind getting into trouble would still

secretly upload the video.” Tyler pouted. “On top of that, Mom is in the wrong here.

Toby and Sonia have already divorced, yet

Mom still made a scene at Paradigm Co.

because of such small matters.”

Even though he did not like Sonia a lot, he

had spent six years living under the same

roof as her. He knew that she was not the

person who would resort to some dirty

tricks as such. Apart from that, it was Jean who went to make a scene at Paradigm Co. It wasn’t

something that Sonia had

asked for

Tina was shocked to see this. Tyler

obviously hates her. Why is he speaking up for her now?

*Tina, why are you looking at me like this?”

When Tyler saw her looking at him, he

raised his hand to touch his face, but he

accidentally touched his wounds and

hissed in pain. “Do I look that bad?”

She immediately returned to her senses and smiled gently. “A little. I was just

thinking that your classmates would be

looking at you when you head to school

tomorrow

When Tyler heard that, his expression sank and he thought about skipping school. However, his older

brother was the driver, so Tyler did not dare to say it out loud, for fear that he might not even be able to

enter his house the next day. He had always been quite a coward who did not

dare to speak up.

They soon arrived at Fuller Residence.

Upon seeing that Tina was still here, Jean affectionately pulled Tina’s hand. “Oh, Tina,

it’s been difficult for you to search for Tyler

with Toby. Thanks for the hard work. Since

it’s already so late, why don’t you stay the

night here? Well, you should move in

earlier anyway.”

Tina also wanted to stay, so she shot a glance at Toby. After seeing that he did not utter a word, she

pursed her lips before saying, “Alright. Thanks, Madam White.”

“We are a family now, so don’t be too

courteous!” Jean was overjoyed when she

saw that Tina agreed to stay the night.

After Toby came out from the shower, he

did not immediately go to bed and looked through a few documents instead.

When he opened the drawer to take a pen, he opened the wrong tier and saw a stack

of yellowish letters that were placed inside

the drawer. His gaze became much gentler

when he saw the letters.

It was a coincidence that he was able to

know Maple. his den bal. After they

when he saw the letters.

It was a coincidence that he was able to

know Maple, his pen pal. After they exchanged many conversations with each other, they had a great

time, which was out of his expectations. This was the first time he felt touched when he interacted with

someone through letters. Yet, he never

expected the pen pal to be Tina.
