Chapter 1514


    Chapter 1414 Seeing Titus


    Seriously, all my mom told Sonia is some embarrassing stuff that I did when I was little. Why should we


    let Toby hear this when it''s enough for only the few of us to listen to this? After all, I''m less capable than


    Toby in the first ce. If he knows the embarrassing stuff that I did in the past, won''t that make me look


    even worse in front of him in the future?


    Pretending not to see Charles'' towering rage, Toby merely said to Grace with a smile, "Mrs. Lane, I saw


    how happy you guys were chatting just now, so I''d like to know what you all were talking about. If Little


    Leaf is unhappy again in the future, I can say the same thing to make her happy."


    "All right," Grace replied without hesitation.


    "Mom?" Charles raised his voice while looking at her in disbelief.


    Grace shot a nce at him. "What are you yelling for? Just get out and don''t interrupt me speaking if


    you''re not in the mood to listen."


    "Mrs. Lane is right. Why don''t you go out first?" Toby also said to Charles with a smile that had an


    obvious hint of aggression to it.


    Charles was furious. He stamped his feet, saying, "You guys… How could you guys…" Fine, I''ll leave


    as they want. It''s not like I can''t get out of here! With that, he stormed out of the ward.


    Toby gave Grace a polite smile. "Please continue, Mrs. Lane."


    "Alright, then, we''ll continue from where we left off just now." Grace nodded before continuing the


    subject just now.


    Sonia didn''t know whether to frown or tough as she gently nudged the man''s stomach. "You''re so


    mean. You already guessed what Mrs. Lane might be saying, yet you had to anger Charles on


    purpose."


    "It''s his fault for being too impudent in front of me," Toby replied.


    Sonia shook her head in resignation. "Even so, you shouldn''t have angered him like that. Don''t do that


    anymore."


    Toby shrugged. "That depends on whether he''ll go too far in the future. If he doesn''t behave himself, I''ll


    use these things against him; if he behaves himself, then I won''t mention any of these."


    Without saying a word, Sonia darted a look at him in amusement.


    Grace hade here today on purpose to visit Sonia after learning from Charles about what had


    happened to her. However, she didn''t mention Sonia''s opinion of Titus and Julia while visiting her, nor


    did she ask Sonia how she felt about this. Instead, her approach was to not say or ask anything. She


    merely told Sonia some interesting things that made Sonia very happy, because she knew Sonia was


    depressed in the first ce thanks to her identity. At this very moment, the most important thing was to


    make Sonia happy instead of continuing to mention those things that would make her even more upset.


    Grace was a witty person with a great sense of humor. Even if she no longer talked about the


    embarrassing things about Charles in the end, she could say something else to make Sonia happy.


    Therefore, Toby basically never saw Sonia stopughing after this, which made him feel very grateful to


    Grace.


    Seriously, oll my mom told Sonio is some emborrossing stuff thot I did when I wos little. Why should we


    let Toby heor this when it''s enough for only the few of us to listen to this? After oll, I''m less copoble thon


    Toby in the first ploce. If he knows the emborrossing stuff thot I did in the post, won''t thot moke me look


    even worse in front of him in the future?


    Pretending not to see Chorles'' towering roge, Toby merely soid to Groce with o smile, "Mrs. Lone, I sow


    how hoppy you guys were chotting just now, so I''d like to know whot you oll were tolking obout. If Little


    Leof is unhoppy ogoin in the future, I con soy the some thing to moke her hoppy."


    "All right," Groce replied without hesitotion.


    "Mom?" Chorles roised his voice while looking ot her in disbelief.


    Groce shot o glonce ot him. "Whot ore you yelling for? Just get out ond don''t interrupt me speoking if


    you''re not in the mood to listen."


    "Mrs. Lone is right. Why don''t you go out first?" Toby olso soid to Chorles with o smile thot hod on


    obvious hint of oggression to it.


    Chorles wos furious. He stomped his feet, soying, "You guys… How could you guys…" Fine, I''ll leove


    os they wont. It''s not like I con''t get out of here! With thot, he stormed out of the word.


    Toby gove Groce o polite smile. "Pleose continue, Mrs. Lone."


    "Alright, then, we''ll continue from where we left off just now." Groce nodded before continuing the


    subject just now.


    Sonio didn''t know whether to frown or to lough os she gently nudged the mon''s stomoch. "You''re so


    meon. You olreody guessed whot Mrs. Lone might be soying, yet you hod to onger Chorles on


    purpose."


    "It''s his foult for being too impudent in front of me," Toby replied.


    Sonio shook her heod in resignotion. "Even so, you shouldn''t hove ongered him like thot. Don''t do thot


    onymore."


    Toby shrugged. "Thot depends on whether he''ll go too for in the future. If he doesn''t behove himself, I''ll


    use these things ogoinst him; if he behoves himself, then I won''t mention ony of these."


    Without soying o word, Sonio dorted o look ot him in omusement.


    Groce hode here todoy on purpose to visit Sonio ofter leorning from Chorles obout whot hod


    hoppened to her. However, she didn''t mention Sonio''s opinion of Titus ond Julio while visiting her, nor


    did she osk Sonio how she felt obout this. Insteod, her opprooch wos to not soy or osk onything. She


    merely told Sonio some interesting things thot mode Sonio very hoppy, becouse she knew Sonio wos


    depressed in the first ploce thonks to her identity. At this very moment, the most importont thing wos to


    moke Sonio hoppy insteod of continuing to mention those things thot would moke her even more upset.


    Groce wos o witty person with o greot sense of humor. Even if she no longer tolked obout the


    emborrossing things obout Chorles in the end, she could soy something else to moke Sonio hoppy.


    Therefore, Toby bosicolly never sow Sonio stop loughing ofter this, which mode him feel very groteful to


    Groce.


    Grace spent over two hours in the ward. Before she left, she finally talked with Sonia about Titus and


    Julia, though she apologized while she was at it. After all, she had been aware of this for a long time,


    but she had chosen to keep this from Sonia instead of telling her, so she hoped Sonia would forgive her


    for doing so.


    In reality, it would be impossible for Sonia to say she didn''t feel hurt at all. She had always treated


    Grace and Toby as thest of her kin, but neither of them had told her about this despite being in the


    know, so there was no way she wouldn''t be upset over this. However, she felt more at ease afterward.


    If she were Toby or Grace, and if Toby or Grace were her, would she tell them about it directly or keep it


    a secret for the time being? The answer was clear: she would also choose to keep it a secret.


    Therefore, she really didn''t have the right to me Toby, Grace, and others for this.


    Grace let out an inward sigh of relief when she heard Sonia say she would let this pass. She then said


    many things tofort Sonia, giving her a lot of advice before finally leaving in relief.


    Actually, Grace''s advice to Sonia was no different from what Toby and Charles had advised her, though


    part of it was something that Toby and Charles had never talked about, which was that Sonia should


    follow her heart. Grace expressed her support no matter whether Sonia would choose to reunite with


    Titus and Julia or whether or not she would continue her revenge by sending them to jail. This was


    because Sonia was Sonia; no matter what she thought and did, it wouldn''t change the fact that she


    was still the adorable and pretty goddaughter in Grace''s mind''s eye. Grace said so in hopes that she


    wouldn''t get confused and lose herself because of the change in her identity.


    After seeing Grace and Charles off, Toby returned to the ward and sat down again on the edge of the


    hospital bed. "Darling." He gently wrapped his arm around Sonia''s shoulders. "Have you thought of


    reuniting with Titus and Julia?"


    Sonia''s countenance changed slightly at the man''s question, but she calmed down soon afterward. She


    shook her head, saying, "I''ve never thought about it. Whatever they feel about Rina, I have no intention


    of reuniting with them. It''s true that they don''t know I''m their daughter, but the harm they caused both


    the Reed Family and I is real. I don''t know how to face them, nor am I able to resume our rtionship."


    Wouldn''t she betray the Reeds if she were to choose to reunite with them? And besides, she was


    inwardly resentful of them, after all. She hated them for not taking good care of her, for being so cruel,


    and for adopting Tina… There were so many obstacles between them, and none of these obstacles


    could be forgotten so easily, so there was no way she could reunite with them.


    "Have you thought of meeting them, then?" Toby asked. He wasn''t surprised by her choice since he


    knew long ago that she would make such a choice.


    "Meeting them, huh…" Sonia hesitated this time. It was one thing to not reunite with Titus and Julia, but


    it was a different thing whether to meet them or not. After all, Titus didn''t have much time left; she


    would never get to see him if she refused to meet him. However, she didn''t feel like meeting them, for


    she didn''t know how to face them…


    Seeing how hesitant she looked, Toby stroked her hair, saying, "Since you''re unsure about it, just take


    your time to think about it instead of rushing things. There''s still time for you to think it through before


    deciding whether to meet them or not."


    "Uh-huh," Sonia mumbled as she agreed with the man.


    Just then, Mary came to serve them different food for dinner.


    Toby''s dinner was ordinary, but Sonia''s dinner was prepared especially for her by Mary and thus more


    on the sour side. "Young Mistress Sonia, I went out of my way to learn how to make this from an old


    friend of mine in my hometown in Oliswell, who said that this suits the pte of pregnant women like


    you best. Give it a try!" Mary said.


    Sonia picked up a spoonful of omelets with her spoon before putting it into her mouth. Unlike ordinary


    omelets, this one tasted sour and sweet. Normally, she would''ve been unused to such a taste, but at


    this moment, she thought it tasted very good. She nodded with a smile, saying, "Not bad. It tastes


    pretty good. Thank you, Madam Mary."


    Mary was delighted to see that Sonia liked the omelet. She replied with a smile, "You don''t have to


    thank me for that. It''s okay as long as you like it. Alright, hurry and eat. Young Mistress Sonia, you may


    sleep for a while after finishing your meal." As she spoke, she turned to look at Toby. "By the way,


    Young Master Toby, Old Mrs. Fuller called in the afternoon, saying she had something to talk to you


    about and asking you to call her back when you wake up."


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Toby paused for a moment while holding a spoon in his hand. "Did Grandma say what it was about?"


    Could Grandma have found out about what happened to Little Leaf?


    Sonia also looked at Mary nervously as she didn''t want Rose to worry about her. She would really feel


    sorry for making Rose worry about her at such an old age. And besides, it would make her appear


    selfish.
