A Call From Mary
As the two elderly chatted while walking, they soon reached the room hand-in-hand. At this time, Rose
was already tired to the point where she did not require reading a book to ease her to sleep.
After Mary helped her back to the room, she laid her down on the bed. In the end, Rose fell asleep in
less than two minutes. Seeing how she was asleep made Mary smile as she covered the blanket for
her and left.
Exiting the room, Mary closed the door before taking her phone out. She then turned around to look at
the shut door with a hesitant expression. Obviously, she was in a dilemma.
Yet after a few seconds, the hesitation on her face disappeared, for it was replaced with determination.
Although Rose had mentioned earlier to refrain from telling Toby about the Lore Family’ visit, Mary
thought that it would be best to inform him still.
Otherwise, she was worried that Toby might be even more uneasy if he knew about it in the future.
Thinking of this, Mary heaved out a breath before phoning Toby.
On the other hand, Toby had just reached home from disposing of the garbage when he heard his
phone ring in the direction of the living room.
He set his shoes aside before walking toward it as the ringtone became gradually louder.
Hearing the footsteps, Sonia put the remote down and looked over. “You’re back.”
Toby affirmed in response, “I’m back.”
Glancing at the ringing phone, Sonia picked it up as he walked over after which she handed it to him.
“It’s from Madam Mary.”
“Mary?” Toby frowned as he retrieved the phone. It really was Mary calling him.
Subsequently, Sonia shifted aside to nudge a space for Toby, who then sat down.
The moment he did, she felt that the couch was sinking down a lot.
Nah, this is probably normal with his weight.
“You should answer that quickly. Perhaps something has happened with Grandma, seeing that Madam
Mary is calling you at this hour.” Sonia, who saw that Toby was staring at the phone, nudged him in
hopes for him to snap back to his senses.
After regaining his composure, the man looked at Sonia before swiping his finger across the screen to
answer the call. “Mary?”
Instead of placing the phone by his ear, Toby opened the speaker option and held the phone in his
hand.
By doing so, Sonia could hear their conversation as well.
“Young Master Toby, I hope that I’m not disturbing you and the young mistress’ rest by calling so late.”
Mary’s gentle voice came from the speaker.
Before he could say anything, Sonia closed in and said, “Good evening, Madam Mary.”
“Good evening, Miss Reed.” Mary smiled upon hearing Sonia’s voice.
Although Sonia could not physically see her, she could tell from her voice that she was surprised to
hear her.
“Miss Reed, I’m not interrupting your rest, am I?” Mary asked again.
Shaking her head, Sonia replied, “Of course not. Toby and I had just finished dinner. We’re watching
TV in the living room right now. We’re nightowls, so you’re not disturbing us.”
“That’s good to know.” Mary nodded.
Toby then hugged Sonia’s waist while asking, “Mary, is something wrong with Grandma? Why did you
call at this hour?”
With a rushed tone, he was clearly projecting his worries.
Sonia held his hand with a similarly worried expression.
Obviously, she had the same thought as Toby, thinking that something might have happened to Rose.
On the phone, Mary, quickly shook her head upon hearing Toby’s question. “No, no. The madam’s
health has been alright. I’m calling because of something else.”
As soon as they heard that Rose was fine, both Toby and Sonia breathed a sigh of relief at the same
time.
At the same time, he could feel her somewhat stiff body loosening up as well.
“That’s good to know. Then, what made you call, Mary?” Toby’s hand, which was on Sonia’s waist,
started to move around.
Perhaps he knew that his grandmother was fine now, so he was in a good mood instead.
Seeing how the hand was touching her all over her back, Sonia slapped it in annoyance. Yet, her slap
was completely ineffective.
Not only did she fail to remove his hand, it only made Toby gripped onto her tighter.
Had she not been worried that Mary might overhear them, Sonia would have bitten the man’s arm at
this point.
Seeing how hard the woman was fighting with his hand made Toby smile.
She looked just like a cat that met a ball of yarn, which wrapped tightly around her, rendering her
unable to move or escape from it. Still, the cat did not want to concede as it started to fight against the
ball of yarn.
Just like the cat, Sonia was trying her hardest to fight with his hand.
While talking on the phone, Toby was teasing Sonia and smiling brightly.
Mary did not know what they were doing, as they did this all in silence.
Plus, her attention was on Rose right then, so she was not in the mood to think about other matters.
Sighing, she replied, “It’s because the Lore Family came by earlier, Young Master Toby.”
“What?” As soon as he heard that, Toby stopped playing with Sonia.
Even Sonia, who was fighting with his hand, did not care about that as she quickly gazed at the phone.
“The Lore Family went to Grandma?”
“Yes.” Mary nodded.
Toby’s expression instantly darkened. “Who went?”
Not planning to hide anything, Mary answered, “Two people came. Your mentor, Harry, and his son,
Grayson.”
Sonia patted the back of his hand upon seeing how grim his expression was, hinting at him to calm
down before she asked, “Madam Mary, what’s their purpose of visiting? Is it because of what happened
this morning?”
She did not think that Rose would not know about what happened online, since this involved both Toby
and herself.
Still, even if Rose did not monitor what happened online, the servants who were active on social media
would have told her about the incident.
This was why she did not ask whether Mary was aware about what happened… because she knew
that they did.
As expected, Mary’s reply confirmed Sonia’s thoughts.
“Yes. It was because of that.” Mary nodded profusely. “Now that the Lore Family knew that Young
Master Toby was really angry and wanted to cut ties with them, plus the fact that they could not contact
him, they thought about confronting the madam. They hoped to persuade the madam into talking with
Young Master Toby to let you two forgive them.”
“So, I see.” Sonia, who understood the process, turned to look at the man beside him.
The man had an even more awful expression as bloodlust seeped from his body.
Obviously, he was very upset at the Lore Family’ actions of disturbing his grandmother.
“Madam Mary, the Lore Family didn’t bully her, did they?” Sonia quickly asked.
Her words made Toby stare at the phone.
Although he knew that his own grandmother would never be pushed around, he was still worried in
case the Lore Family agitated her with their words.
“They did!” Mary replied coldly after hearing Sonia’s question.
Surprised, Sonia stood up and answered shrilly, “What? They bullied Grandma?”
