Chapter 52

Tyler spent a huge amount of money to treat Sonia and Zane to dinner, and he was evidently quite proud of himself as he swaggered into the house. He had already signed the contract for tryouts. Meanwhile, both Zane and Sonia had promised to keep this a secret for the time being. By the time he passed tryouts and officially joined the national basketball team, Tyler would no longer be fearful of Toby’s wrath because it would be insignificant. And so, Tyler hummed a tune as he walked into the foyer to change into his bedroom slippers. However, he entered the living room and was caught by surprise upon seeing Toby sitting on the couch.

The latter was dressed in loungewear and was currently smoking a cigarette quite relaxedly

*T-Toby!” Tyler jumped up in fright and stammered slightly, “W-Why are you back so early? I thought Tina’s still in the hospital. Why aren’t you there to see her?”

Toby glanced at him. “Have you had your dinner?”

“Yes, I have.”

“Come over here.” Toby flicked the ash off his cigarette by the side of the ashtray using his index finger. “Let’s chat.”

Just then, Tyler could feel a cold sensation

with trepidation. Then, he took a seat on the couch next to Toby, but his whole body remained quite tense. “Toby, it’s all my fault,” he started

“Go ahead and play basketball if that’s what you’re really keen to do.” Tyler had

barely said anything but was interrupted by

Toby before he even finished his

sentence.

Tyler stared at the other man in disbelief

and he wondered whether he had misheard something. “Toby, did you agree for me to… play basketball?”

“Yeah, go ahead,” Toby replied nonchalantly. “Do whatever makes you happy. I won’t stop you from it, and that includes playing basketball too. I’ll talk to Mom about it.”

Toby had rewatched the two video clips sent by Zane when he reached home at

night and he had contemplated the

situation for quite some time because of

Sonia’s words. Finally, he managed to

come to terms with everything. He had

entered the family business when he was in school because of his exceptional talent

for business. Furthermore, he wasn’t

against it either. However. Tvler disliked

finance and clearly had no intention to

work for the Fuller Group.

Earlier on, Toby had rung up the coach who had gone to Tyler’s school today. The former could sense the coach’s strong liking toward Tyler from his words. The coach had praised him throughout their conversation and insisted that such great talent should be cultivated well and
