Chapter 1464Chapter 1464 Not Used to It
Julia usually visited at this hour. Despite the doubt, Mary did not think much about it because Julia
could be late due to having attended something urgent. After all, matters aroused when people least
expected it.
Grace did not stay for a long time. Now that Sonia had company, Grace intended to take her to leave
first. Sonia called her, "Hold on, Mrs. Lane."
"What's wrong, Sonny?" Grace cast her bag onto her shoulder and halted to look at Sonia.
Tyler stopped the story midway to gaze at Sonia, who bit her lip with a puzzled expression. "It's
nothing, but just keep an eye on Charles."
"Charles? What's wrong with him?" Grace questioned back.
"I'm not in the position to say it. That's all I can tell you. Just keep an eye on him." Sonia shook her
head without revealing much.
Grace understood that there had to be a reason behind Sonia's hesitance, so Grace nodded. "Okay. I'll
keep that in mind. I will visit soon. Just ring me up if there's anything. I will come if I have the time."
"Okay. Be careful on your way home." Sonia smiled faintly.
After Grace left, Sonia finally heaved a sigh. A curious Tyler leaned toward her. "What was that about?
Mind telling me?" She cast a sideways glance at him before flicking his forehead. "Tell you what? Kids shouldn't be
intervening in adults' business."
"Who are you calling a kid? I'm coming of age." He caressed his forehead, displeased.
She grinned. "Yeah, but not yet. You're just on the way to coming of age. Enough of that. Hurry and
read me the story or you can go home right now."
"No, no, no! Don't drive me away! I'll read, I'll read it. If you drive me away, my mother is gonna force
me to do my homework," he grumbled. "Mom is overdoing it. I've secured a place for myself in a
university and yet, she's forcing me to finish my homework. Isn't it overkill?"
"It's for your sake." She was not taking on Jean's side but remaining in a neutral stance; it was not
wrong for Jean to ask Tyler to complete his homework.
"I knew you would say that. You adults keep saying that it's for my own good." He snorted and
continued with the storytelling.
Tyler stayed for a long time. He left upon receiving a call from Jean when the sky almost darkened.
Julia did not come that day. There was not even a message from her, so Sonia was rather perturbed.
Whether it was on purpose or Julia was caught up in something, Sonia found the situation
uncomfortable and ridiculous.
To Sonia, the Gray Couple could have texted her at any time if they had something urgent to attend tobecause she did not block their numbers.
However, she received nothing from them.
Didn't Mrs. Gray wish for me to acknowledge them? That's why she has been dropping by every day.
Has she given up now? Is it because they see that it's impossible for me to accept them, so they lost
confidence?
If her assumption hit the bullseye, the funny situation would teach her a lesson regarding the so-called
parental and maternal love.
Noticing and knowing the reason for Sonia's gloomy mood, Mary was worried and resentful at the
same time.
What's with Mrs. Gray? Should I give her a call?
Smiling, she took her phone to the kitchen to contact Julia without Sonia's knowledge because the
latter would not consent to that, albeit being worried.
Therefore, Mary decided to call Julia to check on her without informing Sonia. Soon, the call got
through to reveal a feeble man's voice instead of Julia's.
"President Gray?" She guessed the man's identity right away since the only person that could use
Julia's phone was him. Besides, who could be the owner of such a weak voice other than the critically
ill Titus?
"It's me. Are you Madam Mary?" Julia actually saved Mary's contact number. Mary nodded. "Yup."
"Hello, Madam Mary." He was surprised to receive a call from her.
"President Gray, why is Mrs. Gray not here today? She has been visiting these days, so Young
Mistress Sonia seems a little unsure what to do with her absence today."
"Does she?" He paused for a moment before adding, "You mean Sonny has gotten used to Julia
visiting her?"
If that was the case, it was good news to the Gray couple because it meant that Sonny was getting
used to having the couple in her life and that there was a place for them in her heart.
"Yeah, well, she denied it, but I can tell that she was upset. I know that you drop by every day, wishing
to compensate her and wishing for her to acknowledge you. But why didn't you guys come today?"
Mary's brows knitted together. "Is it because Young Mistress Sonia hasn't acknowledged you as her
parents, so you're giving up? If that's what you want in return, you shouldn't have acted like loving
parents from the start. You shouldn't have done all these to seek her forgiveness."
She was angry, thinking that the couple was relinquishing.
Titus could tell how livid the lady was. "It's not what you think it is, Madam Mary. We didn't visit not
because of the loss of hope. Sonny is our daughter. Even if she doesn't acknowledge us, we won't stop
loving her and compensating her. We didn't come because my wife hurt her waist. She hasn't regained
consciousness yet. I wanted to text you guys, but I just didn't know what to say. I thought you might not
read it either, or that it might affect Sonny's mood, so I didn't send any text." He thought Sonia would not mind their absence, but now he learned that that was not true. If he had
known about it, he would've texted her and she wouldn't have been upset about it. It was his fault for
not considering it thoroughly.
"What? She hurt her waist?" Mary was shocked. "What happened?"
Did she fall on the way here?
"Someone pushed her." Titus' expression turned grim.

"It's Anya." He snorted coldly. "It's that girl who bullied Sonny. She has her eyes on Toby."
"Anya?!" Mary gasped. Although she had not met Anya before, she knew the story of how Anya picked
on Sonia. In the end, Anya was sent to prison after Sonia and Toby held a press conference to reveal
her deeds. In short, Anya was never up to something good.
"Why did she do that to Mrs. Gray?" Mary could not understand. "If my memory serves right, she has
nothing to do with you guys."
Is it because President Gray intended to avenge Young Mistress Sonia? That's why he came up to
Anya, and she targeted Mrs. Gray as retaliation?
