Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1414

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 place. 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 glance 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 to laugh 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." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

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 had come 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 place 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 stop laughing after this, which made him feel very grateful to Grace.

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 the last 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 blame 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 to comfort 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 relationship." 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 palate 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."

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.
