This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 234

Toby’s hand, which was about to flip a page, stopped mid-air, and his eyes flickered. “So, tell me. How do I usually treat her?”

“Gentle, spoiling, and submissive,” Tim uttered slowly as Toby’s brows furrowed together tighter with each word.

Crossing his arms, Tim pointed out, “It seems like you’re not quite happy with my conclusion.”

“No,” Toby answered curtly and returned his attention to the document in his hand.

So what if he was unhappy about it? It was undeniable that Tim was right—that was exactly how he treated Tina before this.

Tim studied his expression. “Then why are you frowning?”

“It’s nothing,” he replied calmly.

Tim chuckled. “You know, I noticed that you changed a lot after this accident, especially your attitude toward Tina. What happened between the both of you? Why are you so aloof toward her all of a sudden?”

Picking up a pen, Toby left his signature on the document and said, “Nothing happened between us. I just came to the realization that I had used the wrong attitude toward Tina before this and would like to correct it now.”

“But how can you do that if you refuse to see her?” Tim asked, the light reflecting off his glasses.

Closing the document and placing it aside, Toby then picked up another one and opened it. Right now, he had very complicated feelings toward Tina, and he could clearly feel that he didn’t feel the flutter in his heart for her anymore. Vaguely, he began to understand that he might no longer be in love with her, so that was why he didn’t want to see her.

Besides this, there was another important reason that he found to be very odd; despite himself realizing that he didn’t feel much toward Tina anymore, his emotions would still be led by her whenever he saw her. Just like before, when he saw her looking sad, he would have the urge to give her his everything. Although that urge had faded quite a lot now, it was still within him, and it frustrated him a lot.

The best evidence for this was during the day before when he caught a glimpse of her through the glass panel on the door. When he saw her red-rimmed eyes, his heart wrenched and he wanted so much to call her into the room so he could wipe away her tears and console her. However, before he could do that, Rose arrived and shooed her off.

The moment Tina left, the heart-wrenching feeling in his chest immediately evaporated together with the voice in his head telling him to console her. In a split second, he returned to his composed state before he saw her, as though everything he felt earlier was a mirage.

Regardless, he knew that it did happen. Every time he saw Tina, his thoughts and emotions would be out of his own control, and he felt as if a pair of invisible hands were pushing him toward Tina so that he would be good to her and love her.

At the thought of this, he tightened his grip on the pen, trying to hide the violent storm brewing in his eyes. On the other hand, when Tim saw that he was suddenly quiet, he shrugged and left the room.

In the corridor leading to the lobby on the first floor, Tina stepped out of the elevator and immediately spotted Sonia who was walking toward her.

At the same time, Sonia caught sight of her, and she feigned surprise. “What a coincidence, Miss Gray.”

As Tina didn’t know that she was here to look for her, she clenched her fists and barked, “What are you doing here in the hospital?” Don’t tell me she’s here to visit Toby!

Reading her mind, Sonia smirked, and her eyes sparkled. “Well, I’m here to visit President Fuller, of course. I heard that he got into a car accident. As his ex-wife, I should at least send him my regards, no? We were once in love, after all. Did you just visit him, Miss Gray? Great. Could you please tell me what his room number is?”

“Don’t you even think about it!” Tina hissed, her eyes spitting fire.

Sighing in feigned disappointment, Sonia said, “I see. Never mind, then. I’ll check it with the nurse at the reception.”
