Chapter 1437Chapter 1437 The Past
'I would do it even if you did not tell me to,' Toby messaged back to Titus with one hand before putting
his phone away.
Tim had read the messages. "Titus Gray is acting all like a father right now."
"He loves Little Leaf. It would be strange if he didn't tell me to take care of her. Is there something you
need?" Toby blandly asked.
"I am here to remind you it is time for your heart checkup," Tim responded, pushing his glasses up.
Toby frowned. It was only then that he recalled he had an appointment today. "Let's go."
Upon hearing that, Tim silently turned and walked out of the room.
"Take good care of her. I'll be back soon," Toby said to Mary.
"Don't worry, Young Master Toby." Mary nodded. "I'll look after Young Mistress Sonia."
Toby grunted in acknowledgment before walking out of the room.
......
Time flew by. Soon, it was evening. Toby was reading a book while sitting by the bed when he heard Sonia moving.
He hurriedly put down his book and turned around just in time to see Sonia open her eyes.
"You're up," he gently commented.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookShe smiled at him. "Yes, I am. How long have I been asleep?"
She massaged her temples and sat up with his assistance.
He placed a pillow behind her back so that she could comfortably lean backward before pouring her a
glass of water. "Five hours."
"Five hours?" She had been about to take a sip of water when she froze out of shock. "That was a long
nap."
She fell asleep around three in the afternoon. If she slept for five hours, did that not mean it was eight
in the evening now?
The sun must have set already.
With the glass still in her hands, she swiftly turned to look out of the window. As expected, it was dark
outside with colorful lights shimmering and shining.
He chuckled. "You are pregnant. It is normal for you to need more sleep. We feel safer if you can sleep
that long." That was what the doctors and Mary said.
Pregnant women tired easily and needed more naps.
However, a mother-to-be might not be able to fall asleep easily or sleep well each time, and those
would mean that she might be in poor health.
Sonia being able to fall into a restful sleep meant her body was not as weak as before.
She handed him her glass of water.
As he placed it on the bedside table, he asked, "You must be hungry. I'll have Madam Mary make you
some food. What do you want?"
She shook her head. "I don't know. Tell her to cook as she pleased."
"Very well." He ran a hand through her hair before walking toward the kitchen.
She pulled out her phone and checked if she received any messages during her nap.
She found that she received quite a few messages asking about her health from those she was close
to. Grace and Charles messaged her the most. They were all worried she was stuck in a funk.
The other secretaries and assistants at work were concerned about her as well.
The sight of those messages filled her heart with warmth. When Toby walked back into the room to find her smiling, he walked over and asked, "What are you
smiling about?"
She showed him the messages without hesitation. "They're all worried about me. I'm so lucky to have
them."
"That's good, but isn't it better that you have me?" He pulled her hand over to place it over his heart.
She chuckled. "Yes, you're the very best. Oh, right. Don't you have a check-up today? How did it go?"
She stared at his chest in worry.
He smiled. "Everything is well. Don't worry."
"That's good." She nodded and stopped worrying when she heard that.
Soon, Mary brought her dinner out to her.
As usual, the food was quite bland. However, it was still delicious.
Sonia spent a few moments smelling the food and only started eating after she was certain she did not
feel any nausea.
Mary and Toby nervously watched her, only letting out twin sighs of relief when she was able to swallow
a bite without vomiting. Sonia was snickering on the inside when she saw that.
Do they need to be like this?
Still, their concern made her feel like the luckiest person alive.
Umm. Why am reminded of Julia and Titus?
During the day when dining with them, the couple had acted the same; they nervously watched her with
concern in their eyes and only stopped worrying after she swallowed a bite without showing any signs
of discomfort.
They looked exactly like Mary and Toby did now.
When Toby saw that Sonia was lost in her thoughts, he knew what she was likely thinking about. He
pulled out a facial tissue and gently wiped her lips. "I still have Taylor locked up. Do you want to see
her?"
Taylor had said everything that needed to be said, so he was now not worried Sonia would be hurt at all
by Taylor's words.
Moreover, Taylor was still tied up.
Surprised by the sudden mention of Taylor, Sonia froze and turned to look at him.
"Why did you ask me that?" Her question was spoken in an inquisitive tone.
"Taylor is stuck between you and the Grays," he answered. "I believe you must have a lot of questions
for her. That is why I've kept her locked up instead of punishing her."
Sonia pursed her lips and went silent.
It was true. Just as he said, her entire life changed after Taylor sought her out and told her who she
really was.
She had to admit that he was right once more; she did have a lot of questions for Taylor.
"Tomorrow," Sonia eventually spat out after a few long minutes of contemplation.
Toby knew what she meant by that. "Very well. I'll have it arranged so that you can talk to her
tomorrow."
She nodded and turned her focus back to her food.
Meanwhile, in a hotel room.
Anya was flabbergasted when Tina's subordinates told her Sonia was actually Rina Gray while the
current Rina was just an impostor. She stared at her subordinate in disbelief as she shrieked, "Is that
true? Titus Gray's real daughter is Sonia?"
He nodded. "Yes, Miss Steinfeld. I am certain. I overheard Titus Gray himself say that." Tina's entire body was trembling. It was clear the news was so shocking that she could not calm herself
down.
"Sonia Reed is actually Rina Gray? How can this be? How can she be Rina?" Tina did not dare believe
it, and she could not believe the news.
The person she hated the most in her entire life was Sonia.
She and Sonia studied at the same university and shared the same dorm room.
Due to the feud between their families, she had always detested Sonia. She had been so happy when
she realized she was in the same university as Sonia because it meant she could bully Sonia as much
as she pleased.
She had specifically used her connections to change her major to Sonia's major and get into Sonia's
dorm room. All of that was done so that she could bully Sonia and make her father so happy that he
might reward her with more allowance money.
In reality, her assumption was right; Titus was so happy that he gave her more pocket money. She had
planned on being even more hostile toward Sonia so that she could get Sonia kicked out of the
university.
To her surprise, Sonia was not an easy target. After a few rounds of bullying, she began to fight back.
Tina's goal of bullying Sonia even harder failed as Sonia adapted and countered her every tactic. It
infuriated her so much that she loathed Sonia even more.
