Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1431

Chapter 1431 Finally Meeting

However, Sonia couldn't remember what her dreams were about after waking up. She only knew that she dreamed about Titus and Julia, and the dream looked rather sorrowful. When she woke up, her eyes were damp with tears.

Naturally, this did not escape Toby's eyes, but he did not ask any questions and silently handed her a towel wrapped around a block of ice for her eyes instead. This warmed Sonia's heart, and she accepted the towel before placing it over her eyes.

After soothing her eyes with ice for some time, her eyes didn't look as swollen anymore, and Toby took her to eat the breakfast that Mary had prepared. As they ate, he scrutinized her, gauging her mood.

Upon seeing her space out after taking a few bites, he couldn't help but sigh. "Don't worry, we're only going to visit them, and we won't do anything. If you don't wish to meet them, I'll tell them that we aren't going over anymore."

"No, I want to go." Sonia shook her head and said, "You're right. No matter what, they're my biological parents. Even if I feel conflicted about them, I should still meet them. This might be my last chance."

Toby squeezed her soft palm and assured her, "Don't worry, you'll have me next to you."

"Okay." Sonia squeezed her lips, forcing a smile at him.

After their meal, the two headed to Trifecta Hospital, where Titus and Julia were waiting eagerly for their arrival.

An hour later, Julia finally heard a noise from outside the door, and she immediately rushed over to open the door in excitement. "So—"

She was just about to call out Sonia's name, but when she was only met with the sight of Toby and Sonia was nowhere to be seen, the joy on her face immediately froze. She asked in a disappointed voice, "Why are you here? Where's Sonny? D-Did she not come?"

Toby did not reply and only stepped to the side, revealing the woman he had been protecting behind him.

When she saw Sonia, the light immediately returned to Julia's disappointed gaze, and she instantly clutched her mouth as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Sonny…"

It's my daughter! My daughter's here! Julia's heart was overwhelmed with joy and elation, and she began to sob in earnest.

Upon seeing Julia's behavior, Sonia opened her lips, feeling an ache in her heart.

Although she had already found out from Toby that Titus and Julia quickly accepted that she was their biological daughter and were even elated by the fact, and she knew that Toby would not lie to her nor joke about something like this, she only realized after seeing Julia's reaction that Toby had been downplaying the situation. In fact, Julia was even happier than he had described, and this made her feel even more conflicted.

However, Sonia couldn't remember what her dreams were about after waking up. She only knew that she dreamed about Titus and Julia, and the dream looked rather sorrowful. When she woke up, her eyes were damp with tears.

"Sonny." After basking in her excitement for a moment, Julia suddenly opened her arms, intending to embrace Sonia.

"Sonny." After basking in her excitement for a moment, Julia suddenly opened her arms, intending to embrace Sonia.

This was her daughter, the daughter that she had yearned to embrace for over two decades. After her daughter was born, Julia hadn't held her much before she was taken away. Now, she only wanted to hold onto her daughter and never let go. Even more so, she wanted to tell her daughter how much she'd missed her in the past twenty or so years.

And yet, upon seeing Julia reaching out to her for a hug, Sonia widened her eyes as if she had been provoked and bolted behind Toby to hide. Toby naturally protected her as well.

Julia stopped in her tracks and looked at Toby in front of her, then at Sonia, who had rejected her embrace and was hanging her head behind him, and her face instantly turned pale.

"Sonny…" Julia called out to her in a shaky voice, her heart filled with despair.

Her daughter had rejected her embrace; her daughter did not accept her as a mother yet.

Sonia felt even worse after seeing Julia's reaction. However, she had not forgotten that she was still a part of the Reed Family and carried their grudges with her. Moreover, she still remembered how Titus and Julia had hurt her in the past.

All of these things made her unable to accept them and let the past go. That was why she dodged out of the way. Even if she had wanted to experience a mother's embrace at that moment, her reason jolted her awake and made her avoid Julia. However, she still felt a trace of guilt after seeing Julia's reaction.

"Sorry… I-I'm not used to being touched," Sonia said in a low voice, biting her lip.

Naturally, Julia was able to discern the guilt in her voice, and her mood instantly lifted. She hastily wiped her tears away and shook her head with a smile. "It's fine, Sonny, Mom… No, I didn't know that you weren't comfortable with it. I should be the one apologizing."

If her daughter had not accepted her as a mother, she could not refer to herself as one either. Besides, the fact that Sonia seemed extremely sorry for refusing her embrace showed that she was not againstCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

her being her mother in her heart. In any case, knowing this fact alone made her extremely happy.

Julia breathed in deeply to calm herself down and sent Sonia and Toby a happy smile. "Sonny, Toby, come on in first. Your dad… No, Titus is waiting for you inside."

Then, she stepped aside and made way for them.

Toby took Sonia's hand and sent her a nod. "Pardon us."

Toby took Sonia's hand and sant har a nod. "Pardon us."

Upon saying that, he entered with Sonia.

After closing the door, Julia followed them in.

After Toby and Sonia entered the ward, Titus instantly turned his gaze toward them. To be more precise, his gaze fell on Sonia.

The moment Titus saw Sonia, his eyes reddened as his heart instantly swelled with all the words that he wanted to say to her. However, he was unable to speak any of them aloud in the end, and he could only say awkwardly, "You're here."

Toby nodded. "Yes, I brought my wife to meet the two of you."

As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Sonia's hand and encouraged her, "Don't worry. You don't have to feel nervous or afraid either. Raise your head and look at them if you want to."

Ever since she alighted from the car, she had become extremely closed off and silent. Of course, he knew the reason why. After all, it was not odd in the slightest that she would behave in this way when she had come to meet her biological parents whom she had a complicated relationship with.

His words gave Sonia a burst of courage, and she slowly lifted her head to look at Titus' gaunt face and his bright eyes that were looking at her with concealed excitement. At the sight, the ache in her heart intensified.

"You…" Sonia opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

In the next second, however, Titus' voice sounded before hers. "Why have you lost so much weight? You still had some meat on your cheeks when I last saw you. Why are you all skin and bones now?"

Although his tone was calm, he did not hide the concern and worry in his voice. After all, he was her father.

His words were like a boulder that completely tore down Sonia's mental barriers, and she was unable to hold her tears back as they filled her eyes. "Aren't you the same? What rights do you have to scold me?"

Titus was first taken aback before he clasped his hands tightly with a smile. "How am I the same? I'm sick."

Julia, agitated, chimed in, "That's right. Your father… is only like this because he's sick, but you're still young, so it won't do for you to be this skinny."

She did not correct herself to test the waters, looking at Sonia's reaction as she spoke.

Of course, it was impossible for Sonia not to react to her words, and her immediate thought was to say that Titus was not her father. However, just as the words were at the tip of her tongue, she recalled the concern Titus had shown for her earlier. Now, she couldn't bring herself to refute anymore.
