Chapter 1448Chapter 1448 Business Trip
"So, did he go and find Jean then?" Sonia blinked.
Mary shook her head. "No. Although Young Master Fuller said he wouldn't insist on wanting Young
Master Toby's mother's love anymore, he also didn't agree to find another woman. During that time,
Young Master Fuller's whole demeanor seemed to change. He became mentally unstable and often
went out to drink. His habits were completely different from before. He made Old Mrs. Fuller very
worried. She even specially hired a psychologist to give him a checkup, believing that Young Master
Fuller had been hurt badly by Young Master Toby's mother. But Young Master Fuller refused
everything, saying he didn't want to see a doctor."
"So, did he eventually see one?" Sonia asked. When people encountered setbacks and unexpected
turns in life, their personalities could indeed undergo significant changes. It was the same for herself.
The six years of hardship she had endured made her shudder to think about it now. How could that be
her? Fortunately, she had changed and was no longer the same as before.
"No." Mary shook her head. "Young Master Fuller may seem mild and easy-going, but when he's
stubborn, no one can handle him. Old Mrs. Fuller was extremely worried, thinking that Young Master
Fuller would be like this for the rest of his life. But one day, he brought Jean back and said he had
fallen in love with her and wanted to marry her. Old Mrs. Fuller was shocked and couldn't believe that
Young Master Fuller's taste could be so bad by falling in love with such a woman."
Sonia stroked her chin and said, "Mary, you just said that his personality completely changed because
of Toby's mother, and his habits were completely opposite. Wasn't it because of this that he fell in love
with Jean?" After all, she had never seen her real mother-in-law, but she knew that her mother-in-law came from a
wealthy family, had a gentle personality, and was knowledgeable and elegant. Jean, on the other hand,
was the complete opposite.
Mary nodded. "Young Mistress Sonia, you're right. Young Master Fuller did fall in love with Jean
because of this. Otherwise, how could he fall in love with Jean? At first, Old Mrs. Fuller was extremely
worried about this, but Young Master Toby's mother was very happy because Young Master Fuller had
found the person he loved, and she could finally divorce him. So, she stopped Old Mrs. Fuller from
continuing to look for a psychologist for Young Master Fuller, not wanting him to change back to his old
self. She thought that if he did, her hope of leaving would be gone."
Sonia furrowed her brow. "She's really…"
She didn't know what to say. After all, as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't speak ill of her elders,
especially those who had already passed away.
"Young Master Toby's mother was indeed rather too much in her actions, and Old Mrs. Fuller also
regretted insisting that Young Master Fuller marry her. Nevertheless, it was too late then as it had been
over 10 years. Old Mrs. Fuller wanted to force Young Master Fuller to see a psychologist, but in the
end, Young Master Fuller told her that he knew the woman he fell in love with was not good enough,
but at least they loved each other now. He didn't want to live a painful life like Young Master Toby's
mother. So, his change of taste and preference was actually a good thing. He hoped Old Mrs. Fuller
would approve of it, and that convinced Old Mrs. Fuller."
"So, she eventually agreed to let him and Jean be together?" Mary smiled. "It's not that easy. She only gave up on finding a psychologist for Young Master Fuller, but
she didn't agree to let Jean into the family so quickly. In the end, Young Master Fuller brought up the
family law, saying that if he accepted punishment according to family law, there was no reason for Old
Mrs. Fuller to oppose Jean. After Old Mrs. Fuller punished Young Master Fuller according to the family
law, Jean was finally able to enter the family."
"I see." Sonia nodded in realization. "I was wondering how he could fall in love with Jean. It's not that I
look down on Jean, but the chances of someone like her being accepted by someone from such a
wealthy family as his are very slim. I never thought the real reason was that his preferences suddenly
changed. Otherwise, Jean wouldn't have been able to enter the family at all."
"That's right." Mary took the empty plate she was handed. "You're right, it's not that we look down on
Jean's status, but her character is not good. Even ordinary families wouldn't like her. Although she's not
a good person, she's not inherently bad either. She knows she's guilty and thought it was her presence
that made Young Master Toby's mother unable to accept it and commit suicide. She even proposed
breaking up with Young Master Fuller, but he persuaded her to stay. Even though Young Master Fuller
explained that Young Master Toby's mother's death had nothing to do with her, she still couldn't believe
it and carried the guilt in her heart. That's why she treats Young Master Toby well."
"I know," Sonia said, picking up the conversation. "Toby told me that Jean treats him like her own son.
Because of that, Toby also approves of her as a stepmother."
"In fact, there's one more thing that even Young Master Toby doesn't know," Mary continued. "That's
when Jean, for Young Master Toby's sake, once wanted to abort Young Master Tyler because she was
afraid Young Master Toby would think too much about it. She was scared that she would become
biased toward her own son and become a malicious stepmother who only cared for her own son's well-being and stopped liking Young Master Toby. She went to the hospital without telling us, and if we
hadn't found out in the end, Young Master Tyler might not be here today."
Sonia was surprised. "I didn't expect her to go this far," she said.
"Yeah, none of us did. Even Old Mrs. Fuller finally let go of her grievances against Jean because of
this. Before that, she always disliked and didn't approve of Jean as a daughter-in-law. It was this
incident that completely changed Old Mrs. Fuller's view of Jean. Although she still looks down on and
dislikes Jean on the surface, she knows in her heart that Jean is a good wife," Mary said.
Sonia took another sip of her milk and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Mary."
"No problem. There are many stories in the Fuller Family. If you want to know more, you can ask me.
It's just a way to pass the time," Mary said with a smile.
Sonia agreed happily. After that, Mary went to the kitchen to prepare food ingredients for tomorrow.
Toby had also sent Tyler home and came back. Seeing Sonia reading, he walked over with tenderness
in his eyes and said, "Darling, I'm back."
"Welcome back," Sonia said, moving over to make room for him to sit down.
Toby sat down and took her into his arms. "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow," he said.
Hearing this, Sonia immediately closed her book. "Business trip?"
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook"Yeah. I'm going to Erendale. There's an issue with a subsidiary over there, so I need to go take a look.I'll be leaving tomorrow and returning no later than five days from now."
"Oh, okay. Be safe on your trip," Sonia said, looking at him.
Toby kissed her forehead and said, "I will. For the next few days while I'm away, remember to think of
me. Also, I'll increase security measures here."
After all, her safety became his biggest concern when he wasn't around.
"Okay, you take care of it. I trust your arrangements," Sonia said with a smile.
It was no wonder he suggested Tyler come to the hospital and keep her company. He was worried that
she would be lonely while he was away on a business trip. He was really thoughtful and considerate
toward her. This feeling of being constantly cared for by someone was really great.
