Oblivious to the look Toby had in his eyes, Jean chirped happily, “Toby, Tina is here especially to look for you because you refused to see her for the past couple of days. Even if there’s a misunderstanding between you two, it’s about time to make up again. Tina will be staying over tonight, and it will be the perfect opportunity for you two to have a chat.” “We don’t need that.” Toby shot down her suggestion with a somber look. Tina’s eyes widened as she cried, “Toby, tell me what did I do wrong that you’re ignoring me for the past two days. Tell me, and I’ll change, okay?”

 

Placing a hand over the spot where her heart was, she looked at him with pleading, puppy-like eyes while Rose and Tyler watched him intently, curious to find out the reason as well. However, he merely pursed his lips and muttered, “You didn’t do anything wrong.” The fault lies with me, he added silently. I don’t love you anymore and I don’t know how to face you. More importantly, his thoughts and emotions would be affected by her when he saw her, and he would do things that he wouldn’t usually do. For example, after she woke up and was discharged from the hospital, he actually asked Sonia to move out because of one word from her. Back then, Sonia was still his wife, and even though he didn’t love her, there was no reason for him to ask her to move out.

Nevertheless, he still did it. In addition to that, Tina had tried to harm Sonia on more than one occasion. Although she conducted those acts due to her alter ego, those things she did were still illegal, and he never had the thought to report her to the police. What he found to be the weirdest was that he never thought that there was anything wrong with what he did, right until the car accident this time. Suddenly, it dawned upon him that not only was he an idiot in the past, but he was even lacking in the most basic moral standards! That wasn’t me, he thought while gritting his teeth. I’m sure that the person before this car accident wasn’t the real me! As a person who had received elite education since he was younger, it was impossible that he would do such a string of idiotic things.

upstairs,” he instructed in a low whisper. “Okay,” Tyler answered. He then pushed his brother toward the elevator which he had asked Tom to hire workers to install the previous day for Toby’s convenience to travel between the floors. “Toby…” Tina whined. Seeing that he didn’t even look her in the eye and had nothing to say to her, she rushed after them hurriedly and wanted to follow them upstairs. The reason she came here on this day was to talk things out with him. She wanted to find out what was wrong with him, why he refused to see her, and the reason he was so

a delighted look in her eyes that was impossible to hide, Rose said, “Miss Gray, it’s getting late. Toby needs to rest. You should go home as well.” “But Mrs. Gray says that tonight I can—” “With me around, nothing she says matters.” Rose cut her off while casting Jean an indifferent stare. Since Jean had always been terrified of her, the moment she met the older lady’s eyes, she quickly hung her head low. “Somebody, please see Miss Gray to the door!” Rose shouted to the servant at the door. Immediately, the servant

of a sudden? I remember that before this, you liked her a lot, just like Mom,” he asked while gazing at him.

for who she really is, it’s only natural that I started to dislike her.” Silently, Toby thought over his words. He’s right. Anyone would choose to steer far away from a vicious and mean person that they initially thought of as amazing, but that was never in my consideration. Tyler blinked and watched as Toby was silent, deep in his own thoughts. Then, he asked, “Why are you asking this?” “Nothing,” Toby answered flatly. Tyler looked around and asked in a gossipy manner, “So, what exactly happened between you and Tina? Did you have a fight?” “No.” “I don’t buy it.” Tyler

he made to her before, he was beginning to doubt if he really made those promises out of his own will. A tiny voice in his heart was telling him that it was not! “What did

his cell phone and called Sonia in excitement. In the meantime, Sonia was in the bath, and when she saw the person calling her, she rejected the call immediately, because she didn’t feel like picking up. Tyler looked displeased when his call was rejected, and he muttered under his breath, “Why did she reject my call? The more you don’t want to pick up my call, the more I’ll keep calling. Let’s see if you’ll pick up in the end.” With a snort, he called her again. This time, Sonia
