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

Chapter 1426

Sonia remained silent in his embrace for a while before relaxing her stiff body. "I'm not getting agitated. It's just that suddenly hearing that name made me feel complicated."

If this was the past, she would've been filled with hatred upon hearing that name.

Now that she heard the name again after finding out he was her biological father, there was a complicated feeling on top of hatred, and she didn't know how to face the matter.

There was even a sense of avoidance.

If only Titus didn't bear so much affection for his daughter, Rina, she wouldn't have behaved like this. But unfortunately, he…

"I know." Toby gently patted Sonia's back.

She held onto the man's clothes tightly. "Why did you go and see him?"

Her intuition told her that he went to see Titus because of her.

As expected, Toby's next response confirmed her guess.

He gently stroked her. "I went to see Titus because of you, so after considering it for a while, I decided to go."

"You told him about my identity?" Sonia looked at him.

Besides that, she couldn't think of any other reason why he would see Titus. He couldn't just be visiting his father-in-law, could he?

What a joke. If she had complicated feelings toward Titus and didn't want to see him, Toby, who wasn't even blood-related to Titus and had even agreed with those who disliked him, couldn't possibly have a reason to meet him.

So, there could only be one possibility he went to see Titus: he must have told him everything.

Sure enough, under Sonia's gaze, Toby nodded slowly. "Yes, I told him."

"Why?" She clenched her hands.

Toby did not hide anything and replied directly, "It's better to be straightforward since this matter can no longer be concealed."

"And then?" Sonia stared at him. "What was their reaction?"

She suddenly wanted to know how the Grays felt when they found out that she was their daughter.

Would they continue to hate her as before, or…

"They were glad and happy," Toby answered.

Her eyes trembled. "What? Happy?"

She could hardly believe it.

He nodded. "Yes, they were very happy. To be honest, when I saw their reaction, I was also a little surprised. No matter how much they love their daughter, if they heard that their daughter is the long- time enemy that they have hated, or that she was raised by their enemy, their feelings should be complicated. But, the Grays, well, they weren't in a dilemma for long and merely accepted the fact while being elated. It was especially so for Mrs. Gray as she asked me a lot about you."

"Is that so…" Sonia opened her mouth, but she spoke with a hoarse voice as she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Is it happiness?

Perhaps there was some happiness, because who wouldn't like to hear that their biological parents had feelings for them?

While she did feel somewhat happy, there was greater pressure on her now, because the more Titus and Julia cared for her, the more she didn't know what to do.

"Did you tell her?" Sonia asked as she lowered her eyes.

Toby shook his head. "No, I didn't tell her much about you. I only told her you are doing fine now and the child is safe. She's happy and relieved."

"I see." She bit her lip, feeling even more uneasy. "Why did you tell them about my identity?"

She wanted to know the answer to this question the most.

He stroked her hair and replied, "Because I want to know how they will feel about you being their daughter and whether they will sacrifice for you or not."

"What do you mean?" She looked at the man.

He didn't hide anything from her and directly told her his thoughts. "I want to know if Titus will choose to give up his treatment for you. If he really loves you as his daughter, he will understand the pain you are facing and will naturally choose to end his life early to prevent you from being trapped in the feud between the Reeds and Grays, unable to extricate yourself from them and suffering for a lifetime."

"What? That's your purpose? You…"

Toby pressed his forehead against hers and said, "Honey, please don't think I'm heartless. Titus caused the death of your father, the employees of Paradigm Co., and many people in the mine. He deserves the death penalty, even if he's not sick. Now that he's sick and the disease is incurable, I'm not asking him to commit suicide, but rather to give up treatment and wait for the disease to take him away. It's already a gesture of goodwill. You should understand, right? And this way of dying is also the most dignified way for him."

Sonia was speechless because she knew everything the man said was true.

For all the crimes Titus had committed, he deserves the death penalty. But we're letting him choose to give up treatment and wait for the disease to take him away, which means we're not planning to report him to the police or send him to jail. Instead, we're letting him wait for death on his own. For a person like him who had committed heinous crimes, this is indeed the most dignified way to go. But…

Toby seemed to understand what Sonia was thinking and kissed her hand. "If he really loves you, he will understand that what we're doing is for his own good and to fulfill our filial piety. He should also go along with it to make up for the harm he had caused you in the past."

She closed her eyes as tears started streaming down her face.

Even though she hated Titus in her heart, she was in a dilemma after knowing how much he loved this daughter of his. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Besides, Titus isn't going to live for much longer anyway," Toby added.

She choked up. "I know… I know…"

"He agreed," he continued.

"What?" She looked up at him abruptly. "You mean, he—"

"Yes." Toby nodded. "After he knew the reason why I went to see him, he didn't hesitate for long before agreeing. He wants to make it up to you by giving up his life."

"H-He really agreed?" Sonia asked.

"Really," Toby confirmed. "But he said he wants to see you. Are you willing to see him?"

"I don't know." She bit her lip.

If Titus was still just her enemy, she might have agreed to see him. After all, this enemy wouldn't live

much longer, and she could see his miserable end.

However, now that Sonia knew Titus was her biological father, a father who loved her dearly at that, she suddenly lacked the courage to see him.

It was because she didn't know if she should meet him as the daughter of the Reeds or the daughter of the Grays.

Even if she met Titus, what kind of attitude should she use to deal with him? The same attitude she had been using in the past, or should she treat him like how she treated Henry?

She figured she couldn't bring herself to do it either.

She simply buried her face in the man's arms, wanting to hide like an ostrich.

Toby wasn't surprised by her reaction. "It's okay not to know. Take your time to think about it. If you want to see him, then see him. If you don't want to, then don't. I'll support you either way."

"What about you?" Her voice sounded muffled as she spoke up from his embrace. "Do you want me to see him? Should I see him?"

She was eager to hear someone else's thoughts and opinions right now because she didn't want to face it alone. It was too oppressive and overwhelming.

Toby looked at the top of Sonia's head and inquired, "Do you want to know the truth?"
