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
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 the
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 each
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
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 stem 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 gir
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.
“President Drew and I just had dinner
and a casual chat,” Toby said. “Ryan is
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 snake cha
“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.
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
