Chapter 1427Chapter 1427 Longing For Daughter
Sonia bit her lip. "Why would I ask you if I don't want to know the truth?"
Toby chuckled. "That's true. Alright, then I'll tell you my opinion."
"Sure." She nodded in agreement.
He looked up at the ceiling. "Honey, I actually think you should go see him."
Sonia's pupils contracted slightly. She never expected his honest opinion to be like that.
"Why?" She looked at him in confusion. "You know about the grievances, hatred, and the complicated
relationship between me and Titus. Why do you think I should see him?"
"Because he is your biological father." Toby lowered his gaze from the ceiling back to her face.
"Because he is a father who truly loves you. If he doesn't love you and minds that you have been
raised by his enemy, of course, you can choose not to see him, but he is not that kind of person. On the
contrary, he doesn't mind at all. He only knows that you are his daughter, and he is very happy about it.
You should see him just for this reason alone. I believe that, apart from your hatred for him, your
feelings for him are also complicated, right?"
He hit the nail on the head when it came to Sonia's feelings. Although she opened her lips, she didn't
say anything.
Toby gently stroked her head. "So, go see him. He doesn't have much time left. Of course, I'm notsaying that you should acknowledge him as your father. I just hope that you won't have any regrets and
won't let yourself regret it in the future."
"Why do you think I will regret it?" Sonia squeezed her fists.
"Because I know you well. You always have a soft heart. Titus is still alive and you cannot let go of the
hatred between the Reeds and the Grays. But once he dies, that hatred will naturally disappear, and
the pressure on you will be gone. At that time, you may think of him, the father who loved you deeply
but never raised you or even hurt you. You will also know that he did not raise but hurt you, all because
of the enmity of the past twenty-some years, because you were stolen by someone. But you know full
well that if you hadn't been stolen, he would've cherished you like a treasure, and his love for you
would never be less than that of Henry, perhaps even more. You will think of these things and regret
not seeing him for the last time."
Sonia closed her eyes and cried even harder.
Toby comforted her by patting her back. "Now, now, don't cry. I'm not telling you this to pressure you,
but I just hope that you can understand and not have regrets in the future. You don't have to
acknowledge him as your father, but you should see him. That way, even if you think of him in the
future, you won't regret it."

Although she knew that he was right, there were too many things between her and the Grays. She
couldn't just agree to see Titus immediately after hearing Toby's words. She had to calm down and listen to the voice of her heart to figure out what she really wanted.
Toby knew what she was thinking, thus reached out and turned off the light. "Okay, that's perfectly fine.
There's still time, so take your time, and don't rush. Go to sleep now."
"Okay." Sonia nodded.
The next morning, Titus woke up unusually early.
Julia was surprised to see him awake so early. "Honey, why did you wake up so early?"
Ever since his condition worsened, he had only been awake for three to four hours a day, mostly in the
afternoon.
It was very rare for him to wake up so early.
"I can't sleep." Titus smiled weakly at her. "I'm waiting for a phone call."
He looked toward the phone placed on the side.
Julia also looked over and instantly understood whom he was waiting for. She became nervous and
asked, "Titus, do you think Sonny will come to see us?"
Titus' lips moved slightly. "I don't know. That child is different from us."
He shook his head gently. "We have done many things that had hurt her, and the two foster daughters
we raised have also harmed her. So, her hatred toward us will only be much greater than before sheknew her identity. Even if she now knows that we are her biological parents, she may not immediately
let go of all the resentment and accept us calmly as we hope. So, she may not necessarily meet us.
She may still be holding a grudge against us."
She covered her face in pain. "It's all our fault. We didn't protect her and keep an eye on her well
enough, so she was taken away by Henry. It's also our fault as parents for not recognizing her earlier.
Otherwise, none of this would have happened. Tell me, Titus, why couldn't we recognize our daughter?
She looks so much like her grandmother. Why didn't we suspect anything at the beginning?"
"Because of Henry." Titus sighed. "Who would have thought that Henry, who hated us so much, did not
kill our daughter and chose to raise her well instead?"
If it were him, he would never do what Henry did and bring up the daughter of his enemy as his own.
So, he naturally assumed that Henry was the same way and never thought that she was his own
daughter, even though she looked so much like his mother.
After all, many people looked alike in this world.
"Titus, what if Sonny doesn't want to see us?" Julia was very worried and afraid.
Titus hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
She wept miserably. "But I want to see her. I want to see my daughter. When I found out Sonny's my
daughter, I was so happy. When I faced Taylor, however, I was completely indifferent and calm. But
yesterday, I was so excited after learning that Sonny is my daughter. I couldn't sleep all night. I was
thinking about meeting her, telling her how much I missed her, how much I love her, and how sorry Iam. Titus, I love my daughter so much. I really want to see her and give her all the motherly love I
haven't given her in the past twenty years…"
Looking at his wife crying like this, Titus also felt sad.
He also felt the same way as his wife.
However, as a man, he was able to restrain his emotions and reason more than she could.
In fact, only he knew that he didn't sleep well last night either. He also wondered how he could make it
up to Sonia as her father if she was willing to acknowledge them.
Would she call him "Dad"?
"Titus." At this moment, Julia lowered her hands and looked at him steadily. "If Sonny doesn't want to
come and see us, shall we go and see her instead? As parents, we owe her a lot. We should be the
ones that take the initiative to do things first, right? I want to see her, give her many gifts, and tell her
that I've been preparing clothes and gifts for her all these years. I—"
She was interrupted by the ringing of Titus' phone, which was placed on the bedside table.
Julia quickly looked at the phone. "Is it Sonny?"
"It's Toby," Titus replied, holding back his nervousness.
She was disappointed, but a glimmer of hope soon rose again. "It's Toby, that's good too. They'rehusband and wife, so his phone is also Sonny's phone. Maybe he called to tell us that she agreed to
meet us. Quick, Titus, answer the phone."
