Chapter 21
“Baby, don’t look at him. Look at me, all right?” Charles tried his best to draw Sonia’s gaze back
from the window. “I’m more handsome than Carl, okay? Or do you like virgins like him more?”
Having had her thoughts interrupted, Sonia didn’t know if she should be angry orugh, so she
rolled her eyes at him. “When I was young, I thought you were narcissistic. Who knew you’d grow
up worse.
“I’m just aware of how handsome I am!” Charles chuckled. “Really, baby. Don’t you want to marry
me? The Ocean’s Heart is nothing. I will find the world’s most unique diamond ring to propose to
you!"
Sonia and Charles grew up together, and they often dropped by each other’s houses, so they were
extremely close. Sonia knew that Charles
was just trying to cheer her up because he knew that she was upset.
She was indeed rather amused by his remarks, and she even remembered the things she had
neglected.
Sonia opened her handbag and took out a ring from one of thepartments. Even in the dim
lighting of the car, the diamond was still dazzling.
This was her wedding ring.
Sonia looked at the wedding ring in her hand, and everything that happened tonight shed rapidly
through her mind.
She recalled the scene of Toby kneeling down and proposing to Tina, almost as if he was spoiling
her, and the scene where he protected Tina... Her calm heart began to make waves
again.
Through the rearview mirror, Charles saw the ring, but he didn’t make a joke about it. “Baby, you
know that some people look like humans, but they don’t deserve to be humans. If you meet again in
the future, you have to take a detour.”
“Okay.” It was only a few dozen seconds, but Sonia’s heart was already at peace.
She ced the wedding ring on the armrestpartment in the center, and her tone was calm
when she said, “Sell this wedding ring for me too. Donate the money to the people in the poor
mountain areas.”
With that, Sonia leaned back in her chair and looked at the scenery shing by outside the car
window, and her whole being calmed down.
After eight years, her one-sided love had finallye to an end, which made her feel relieved.
At the hotel, the banquet was still ongoing, and the guests were still bustling, as if nothing had
happened earlier.
One after another, Toby greeted eachpany’s bosses and business partners. It took a long time
before he had time to breathe, and exhaustion was clear in his eyes.
As soon as he sat down to rest, Tina came over.
“Toby, are you okay?” Tina asked thoughtfully as she poured warm water for him before walking
around to the back to massage his shoulders.
Her technique was right, but there was still a lingering irritation haunting Toby’s heart.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Toby pressed Tina’s hand, then said in a deep voice, “You’d been going around with your father
greeting everyone tonight, so you must be quite tired. You should sit down and rest.”
“Okay.” Tina gave a small smile, then sat down beside the man.
She peeled an orange and handed it to Toby, but he didn’t take it and simply stared at her. “Tina,
how did the car ident happen back then? Tell me again."
The man’s eyes were deep and sharp. It was as if he had an insight into people’s hearts. When Tina
met his gaze, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the orange onto the ground.
“I was in aa in the hospital for too long, so there are many things I don’t remember.” She
forcefully steadied her mind and tried to recall it.
“I don’t remember exactly how the car ident happened. I only vaguely remember that I was hit.”
She continued, “Tonight, Miss Reed brought people over to create trouble. Toby, you can’t possibly
believe what Charles said about me staging the ident, right?”
Met with Toby’s silence, Tina grabbed his hand before she said in a flustered and aggrieved tone,
“Toby, you must believe me. I’m not familiar with Miss Reed, so why would I frame her? I won’t treat
my life as a joke.”
Seeing that her eyes were red, Tony’s doubts disappeared, leaving only distress.
Tony took her hand and kissed it, then said, “Since you’ve recovered, the matter with the car
ident ends here. It has left you traumatized, and I don’t want you to feel upset because of it
anymore.
“Okay.” Feeling relieved, Tina smiled faintly.
Tina peeled an orange again and handed it to the man while looking at his stern expression. “Tony, I
know that Miss Reed had been married to you for six years, and she had contributed quite a lot to
the Fuller Family, so I’m very grateful to her. I’d like to invite Miss Reed to dinner some other day
and prepare another present to thank her.”
“There’s no need for that.” Thinking about what happened half an hour ago, Toby’s gaze darkened,
and his tone was a little cold. “Sonia was the only person who could donate blood to you at the time.
She used this to threaten me, which was why I married her. And the Ocean’s Heart, which she took
away tonight, is worth quite a huge sum.”
Seeing that the man was so loyal to her and always stood by her side, Tina felt utterly
relieved.
She leaned over and wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, and a soothing smile appeared on
her face. “Toby, thank you for waiting for me. Now that I’ve recovered, I will have plenty of time to
spend with you and Madam White.”
Since they were seated so closely together, Toby could smell the faint scent of roses on her body.
Seemingly ufortable with the smell, he frowned.
He remembered that Sonia also used perfume. He had smelled it several times, but his nose never
felt ufortable.
“Tina, mind your actions.” Julia and Titus came over. Seeing how Tina was hugging Toby, Julia
smiled, but she reprimanded her. “There are guests all around. It’s not good for the guests to see
this.”
Tina blushed after being told off, so she quickly let go of Toby and sat back in her seat.
Unbothered, Titus said, “Toby and Sonia are already dating, so what do they have to be wary of? If
it wasn’t for that Sonia girl—”
Halfway through his angry talking, Titus seemed to have realized something, so he stopped short
and said to Toby, “I heard that you had dinner with the boss of Continental Co.st week. Do you
intend to buy it?”
“President Drew and I just had dinner and a casual chat,” Toby said. “Ryan ispetitive, and he
attaches importance to hispany. He would never let it be acquired no matter how bad things
got.”
Titus nodded. “I heard that he was looking for people to invest these days, so he has obviously run
into a wall.”
When the two of them talked about business matters, Titus did the talking, while Toby assumed his
role as a junior and listened while asionally agreeing with him.
Seeing the waiter walking through the crowd with a ss of juice and sending it to another table,
Toby remembered something and called the waiter over. “I want a pot of freshly squeezed
mango juice."
“No problem. Please wait a minute.”
When Tina saw Toby asking the waiter for mango juice, her face became stiff, but she figured she
shouldn’t ask anything.
In no time, a jug of freshly squeezed mango juice was delivered.
Toby poured a cup and handed it to Tina, a faint smile on his lips. “I remember when we
correspondedst time, you wrote that you loved eating mangoes. Once, you went to your
grandma’s house and ate 30 small mangoes in one go, seemingly unafraid of overeating.”
“They were just small mangoes. There wasn’t much flesh.” As Tina spoke, she took the ss of
mango juice from him and held it tightly, but she didn’t drink it immediately, and her face seemed to
have turned paler.
“What’s the matter?” Toby asked. “You love to eat mangoes, but you don’t like them as fruit juice?”
Titus didn’t understand what Toby was saying to Tina, but he knew that she was allergic to
mangoes, and it was very severe. She couldn t touch them at all.
Titus hurriedly said, “Toby, Tina can t
“I love to eat mangoes, and I also like to drink mango juice. Back in the days, Mom always made
me mango juice,” Tina interrupted her father. She shot him a look to tell him not to say anything
more.
Tina looked at the mango juice in her hand, then fiercely gritted her teeth and quickly finished the
whole cup.
