Boss, Your Wifeâs Asking for A Divorce, Again Chapter 84 âThereâs no need to check on him. You should just let him stay on his own since thatâs what he likes best.â Although Jean spoke in a harsh and resentful tone, she didnât 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 didnât truly mean what she said.
âOpen the door, Tyler.â Toby stopped outside Tylerâs door before rapping his knuckles against it. Toby was greeted with Tylerâs swollen eyes once Tyler opened the door. âToby,â Tyler muttered.
âDid you cry earlier?â Toby raised an eyebrow.
Tyler hastily raised his arms to rub his eyes furiously. âNo, I didnât,â he replied in an indignant tone. His words put
a slight smirk on Tobyâs face, but Toby decided not to expose his lie. âCan I come in for a talk?â Toby asked instead.
âSure.â Tyler nodded and stepped aside for Toby to enter the room, and he followed behind Toby after Toby went 1. âDidnât you promise me that youâd help me convince Mom to let me focus on my basketball? Momâs nagging me to quit the team, and she doesnât even allow me to join the training now. The U17 Youth Expedition fact, Tylerâs 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 didnât want to get kicked out so soon.
Meanwhile, Toby twisted his features into an exasperated look. âMom did promise me that she would allow you to play basketball-I donât know what drove her sudden change of mind. Donât worry; Iâll talk to her later.â
âWhatâs the point of talking? What if she agrees now but changes her mind later?â Tyler plopped on the edge of the bed as he spoke in an annoyed tone.
desk.
Tylerâs eyes lit up immediately. âThatâs right. We should get Grandma to come. Momâs terrified of Grandma.â
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 didnât 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. âWhy do you have one of my letters to Tina with you?â Toby held the envelope up and shot Tyler a look of displeasure.
Tyler jumped in surprise before he snatched the envelope away from Toby.
âThatâs not one of your letters to Tina.â Tyler had gotten the envelope from Sonia, so it couldnât have belonged to Tina.
âIsnât that one of the letters I wrote to Tina?â Toby frowned. He didnât bother to conceal the disbelief in his eyes.
Tyler simply kept the letter away. âIt isnât.â
âWhy donât you tell me whose letter it is, then?â Toby narrowed his eyes as he glared at his brother. His gaze made Tyler feel rather self-conscious, and Tyler quickly looked away as he spoke. âAll you need to know is that it doesnât belong to you. Iâm not going to tell you who the letter is from-thatâs a secret,â he uttered.
Initially, after Tyler got hold of the letter, his plan was to tell Toby that Sonia had been writing love letters to others ever since she was in high school. However, Tyler changed his mind and decided to help Sonia keep her secret after she helped him to get his contract with the basketball team. That was why Tyler refused to tell Toby that the letter belonged to Sonia.
Toby looked like he was about to say something else as he glared at Tylerâs rather reserved and cautious expression. Tyler hastily stuffed the letter into his trouser pocket before he pushed Toby out toward the door.
âAlright, Toby. You can go out now. Please help convince Mom about this.â
Toby pressed his lips together as he headed downstairs.
âPhew..â Tyler pulled the letter out once he shut his bedroom door. âThat was close. I nearly got caught. I should just return this letter to her.â With that said, Tyler pulled his phone out to call Sonia.
Sonia had just reviewed an entire stack of files, and she was already sprawled across her desk in exhaustion. Charles let out a hearty laugh as he watched her. âAre you tired after such a minor task? Wouldnât you be lying on the bed all the time if Paradigm Co. further develops their business? What if the company becomes as renowned as they once were in the past?â
âThat might just happen.â Sonia let out a little laugh, but her voice sounded relatively flat. All of a sudden, her cell
phone that she had placed beside her head began to ring. Before Sonia got a chance to see the caller, Charles craned his neck to glance at her phone. âItâs your ex-husbandâs brother.â
âTyler?â Sonia lifted her head instantly.
Charles let out a light scoff. âWhy would he call you?â
âHow am I supposed to know?â Sonia held the phone up and ended the call.
âArenât you going to answer it?â Charles looked Sonia in the eye.
;
âThereâs no reason for me to do that,â Sonia replied calmly as she gradually lowered her phone. Right then, a new message popped up on her screen. Your letter is with me!
My letter? Sonia knitted her brows before she returned the call that she had ignored earlier. âWhat letter?â ...
Pride was written all over Tylerâs face when Sonia called him. âDidnât you reject my call earlier?â
Sonia sniggered when she heard the hint of cockiness in Tylerâs voice. âIâm going to end it again if you donât tell me what youâre calling for.â
âWait, wait, wait!â Tyler hastily stopped her. âIâll tell you. Iâll tell you what it is. The last time I was at your house, saw that you have a lot of letters that John wrote to you. I stole one of them.â
âYou searched my room?!â Soniaâs face darkened as she felt anger bubbling in her chest. âIs this what the Fuller Family taught you to do? Do they teach you to trespass and poke around in other peopleâs rooms?â
Tyler knew that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head and replied in a meek voice, âI know that I was wrong. Thatâs why Iâm calling you-to admit my faults and to apologize to you.â
âHah.â Sonia scoffed once more.
Tyler scratched the tip of his nose. âIâll return you the letter in the future,â he mumbled.
âItâs fine. Just throw it out. I donât need it anyway.â Sonia ended the call after finishing her words.
Charles came forward with a curious look on his face once Sonia got off the phone. âWhy is he looking for you?â
âThat guy stole one of the letters that John used to write to me.â Sonia pinched the bridge of her nose as she spoke.
Charles seemed rather intrigued by this answer. âBased on what I recall, you and John havenât been in contact in a while, huh?â
Sonia nodded as a hint of nostalgia surfaced in her gaze. âItâs been nearly seven years.â Sonia wouldâve forgotten about her pen pal if Tyler hadnât brought it up with her.
âWhatâs the reason you guys stopped talking? I thought you and John were pretty close in the past. You guys would send two or three letters each week.â Charlesâs tone seemed a little salty as he spoke. Charles and Sonia grew up together, so they were extremely close. However, he felt like he had been neglected ever since she became pen pals with John.

âWho knows.â Sonia shrugged. She didnât even know why John stopped writing to her. Six years ago, John sent her a final letter to explain that he would stop communicating with her. Since then, she never heard from him anymore. She even wondered if she had written something to offend him and if that was why he ignored her after that.
Charles assumed that Sonia didnât want to give any further details, so he stopped grilling her for answers after that. âItâs time to get off work. Iâll send you back,â he offered after taking a look at the time.
âOkay,â she replied with a nod.
Charles drove off after he dropped Sonia at the Bayside Residence. Sonia used a walking stick to help her into the bedroom, where she began to dig out the letters that John had sent her in the past. A wistful look surfaced in her gaze as she gently ran her fingers across the letters. However, she was quick to suppress her emotions before picking the letters up to throw them into the trash. She had been keeping the letters for years, anyway-it was about time for her to give up and let go. Yet, for some reason, Sonia felt unable to let go of the letters in her hand even as she held them up above the trash can. She couldnât bear to do such a thing.
After a while, Sonia let out a huge sigh before returning the letters to their initial spot.
Forget it. Iâll just leave it around since I know Iâll miss them if theyâre gone. Iâll just stop reading those letters. Sonia massaged the space between her brows as she stepped out of the bedroom and headed into the shower.
