Chapter 1384Chapter 1384
Looking at Sonia's curious face and Toby's resolute expression, Mary didn't shy away and told them all
she knew, "Yes. During pregnancy, it is true that women will act in direct contrast to their prior selves,
and having different taste buds is one of them. Many women don't eat spicy food before, but they
suddenly fall in love with spicy food during pregnancy and could take spiciness very well. There are
others who are just like you who don't like acidic or sour foods but like them after getting pregnant. All
these are normal, and there are more who prefer acidic to spicy food."
"Why is that so?" Sonia asked, puzzled.
Chuckling, Mary answered, "That's due to the hormones in a pregnant woman's body, especially for
cases like you who have a greater pregnancy reaction and can't eat anything. If you change the flavor
to acidic, sour or spicy, the feeling of nausea or wanting to throw up will go away."
"I see." Sonia nodded in a daze.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookMeanwhile, Toby noted everything down directly. That wasn't the only point he noted as he also asked
Mary other questions in detail while feeding Sonia.
When she had finished half of the food and didn't want more, he wrote down everything from memory
in the notebook.
In the afternoon, Tom came and brought a big stack of books with him—everything that Toby asked for,
topics on pregnant mothers and being a first-time father. Sonia took a quick glance and reckoned there were about twenty to thirty books.
That's a lot of books. I wonder if he could really finish them within these few months, she thought. Not
only Sonia but even Mary was startled by Toby's plan. However, she felt more relief after the shock
subsided.
As a woman, Mary was happy that Sonia was doing well and received genuine care and concern from
her man, and from the bottom of her heart, she was delighted and comforted to see Toby this way.
The teachings in the Fuller Family were a success. Even after Homer married Jean, who was his
second wife, she had to admit that Homer didn't do anyone wrong.
When Homer was in love with Valerie, he was wholeheartedly devoted to her.
However, she really had no feelings for him and even encouraged him to seek love elsewhere, which
he really did in the end, and he found Jean. He fell in love with her and would rather be punished by the
family than give up marrying her.
The men from the Fuller Family could be considered loyal and faithful, and they gave more than
enough attention to their women at the same time. This concluded that the Fuller Family was
successful in raising their men.
I believe Young Master Tyler will turn out the same, Mary thought with a smile. Then, she left the room
quietly, giving the space to the couple because she knew that they had a lot to speak about.
If there was no reason for an old lady like her to be present, she decided that she would stay outside ofthe room lest she disturbed their moment.
Finally, the media reported Sonia's pregnancy. Coincidentally, when she was having her maternity
checkup, the wife of a media worker happened to be doing the same and bumped into her and Toby.
With their status and the fact that they didn't deliberately hide their identities, they were recognized by
this lady, who later went home and told her husband about it. After that, news of Sonia's suspected
pregnancy was published online and sent the Internet into a frenzy.
Many netizens speculated that Sonia and Toby rekindled their marriage so suddenly because she was
pregnant, and this speculation received the agreement of the majority.
It couldn't be denied that experts lived amongst the commoners and the netizens were very smart.
Meanwhile, Toby and Sonia only learned about this when Tom told them about it over the phone.
As electronic gadgets such as cell phones produced radiation, both of them avoided using them in the
ward unless necessary. So, they didn't follow the news on the Internet and didn't know that they had
gone viral again.
When Toby found out that the media had exposed Sonia's pregnancy, his brows furrowed more deeply
than words could describe because he didn't plan to make this public, at least not for now.
Besides, no matter which culture it was, people were usually hesitant to announce a pregnancy that
was less than three months because of superstition. Although he didn't believe it, for Sonia and the
baby's sake, he was willing to believe all these things that couldn't be explained. More importantly, they still had a lot of enemies in the dark, and he had no other choice but to be more
alert. This was why he didn't plan to announce this so quickly.
Unexpectedly, his plan was thwarted because the media had exposed Sonia's pregnancy now.
As he browsed through the commotion on the Internet, his lips pursed into a tight line, and his face was
sullen.
The sight amused Sonia, and she reached out to pull his cheeks outward. "Come on, honey. Don't be
so upset anymore. So be it. It's only a matter of time before this happens, anyway. Moreover, we didn't
try to cover up, so it's not unexpected that it's exposed. Saves us the trouble of announcing it later,
right?"
"These media are everywhere," Toby grumbled.
Sonia chuckled. "That's what they do for a living. Of course, they have to be everywhere. Alright now,
I'm not even upset, so you shouldn't be as well. Since it's already public news, we can't deny it, either.
Or else when the baby is born, the public will start speculating again. We might as well just admit it
now."
That's all that can be done, Toby thought, rubbing his forehead. "I'll get more people to protect you."
Sonia nodded as she knew that the news of her pregnancy would cause a lot of people to have ideas
and they had to pay more attention to her safety.
After that, Toby logged into his own social media account to make a post, announcing to the public thatSonia was six weeks pregnant.
His acknowledgment caused another uproar on the Internet, and everyone scrambled to leave
congratulatory messages and blessings in the comments section.
After all, the netizens were over the moon for quite a while when he announced their marriage and
gave out benefits the last time.
The chances of getting a prize were high, and the majority of the netizens received one. Even if they
didn't receive the biggest prize, they received a couple hundred in cash as a celebratory present.
For the sake of these benefits, the netizens wouldn't say a single bad thing at this time.
In addition, Toby and Sonia were dating before this and were married now. It was normal that she was
pregnant and there were no cheating or immoral activities involved. Even without those benefits, the
netizens would give their blessings, too.
Otherwise, they would be the immoral ones.
Seeing the blessings of these netizens, Toby felt a little less mad over those media companies that
announced the pregnancy on their own.
Thereafter, he published another post—another lucky draw event which was exactly the same as the
last time when he and Sonia got married.
After the netizens saw this, excitement rushed through them again, and they quickly forwarded and
commented on the post, terribly worried that their chances would be gone if they were just a secondlate.
Then, the network crashed for a while.
The staff quickly restored it, and the second it was fixed, the netizens resumed their forwarding and
commenting. The Internet was bustling with traffic because, at the end of the day, it was cold, hard
cash that was involved.
The last time, some netizens even made a calculation on how much Toby spent on the benefits.
The Fuller Group announced the amount to be 15 million, but after the netizens' calculations, they
realized it was far more than that—30 million, at least.
Besides the lucky draw event on the Internet, Fuller Group and Paradigm Co. even specially sent their
employees to distribute candies on the street where their companies were located.
Those were expensive imported candies, and many citizens came to queue up for them after hearing
about them. Some even received cigars and wine. Thus, the netizens reckoned that all those totaled up
to about 30 million.
