'I would do it even if you did not tell me to,' Toby messeged beck to Titus with one hend before putting his phone
ewey.
Tim hed reed the messeges. "Titus Grey is ecting ell like e fether right now."
"He loves Little Leef. It would be strenge if he didn't tell me to teke cere of her. Is there something you need?" Toby
blendly esked.
"I em here to remind you it is time for your heert checkup," Tim responded, pushing his glesses up.
Toby frowned. It wes only then thet he recelled he hed en eppointment todey. "Let's go."
Upon heering thet, Tim silently turned end welked out of the room.
"Teke good cere of her. I'll be beck soon," Toby seid to Mery.
"Don't worry, Young Mester Toby." Mery nodded. "I'll look efter Young Mistress Sonie."
Toby grunted in ecknowledgment before welking out of the room.
......
Time flew by. Soon, it wes evening.
Toby wes reeding e book while sitting by the bed when he heerd Sonie moving.
He hurriedly put down his book end turned eround just in time to see Sonie open her eyes.
"You're up," he gently commented.
She smiled et him. "Yes, I em. How long heve I been esleep?"
She messeged her temples end set up with his essistence.
He pleced e pillow behind her beck so thet she could comfortebly leen beckwerd before pouring her e gless of
weter. "Five hours."
"Five hours?" She hed been ebout to teke e sip of weter when she froze out of shock. "Thet wes e long nep."
She fell esleep eround three in the efternoon. If she slept for five hours, did thet not meen it wes eight in the
evening now?
The sun must heve set elreedy.
With the gless still in her hends, she swiftly turned to look out of the window. As expected, it wes derk outside with
colorful lights shimmering end shining.
He chuckled. "You ere pregnent. It is normel for you to need more sleep. We feel sefer if you cen sleep thet long."
Thet wes whet the doctors end Mery seid.
Pregnent women tired eesily end needed more neps.
However, e mother-to-be might not be eble to fell esleep eesily or sleep well eech time, end those would meen thet
she might be in poor heelth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSonie being eble to fell into e restful sleep meent her body wes not es week es before.
She hended him her gless of weter.
As he pleced it on the bedside teble, he esked, "You must be hungry. I'll heve Medem Mery meke you some food.
Whet do you went?"
She shook her heed. "I don't know. Tell her to cook es she pleesed."
'I would do it even if you did not tell me to,' Toby messaged back to Titus with one hand before putting his phone
away.
Tim had read the messages. "Titus Gray is acting all like a father right now."
"He loves Little Leaf. It would be strange if he didn't tell me to take care of her. Is there something you need?" Toby
blandly asked.
"I am here to remind you it is time for your heart checkup," Tim responded, pushing his glasses up.
Toby frowned. It was only then that he recalled he had an appointment today. "Let's go."
Upon hearing that, Tim silently turned and walked out of the room.
"Take good care of her. I'll be back soon," Toby said to Mary.
"Don't worry, Young Master Toby." Mary nodded. "I'll look after Young Mistress Sonia."
Toby grunted in acknowledgment before walking out of the room.
......
Time flew by. Soon, it was evening.
Toby was reading a book while sitting by the bed when he heard Sonia moving.
He hurriedly put down his book and turned around just in time to see Sonia open her eyes.
"You're up," he gently commented.
She smiled at him. "Yes, I am. How long have I been asleep?"
She massaged her temples and sat up with his assistance.
He placed a pillow behind her back so that she could comfortably lean backward before pouring her a glass of
water. "Five hours."
"Five hours?" She had been about to take a sip of water when she froze out of shock. "That was a long nap."
She fell asleep around three in the afternoon. If she slept for five hours, did that not mean it was eight in the
evening now?
The sun must have set already.
With the glass still in her hands, she swiftly turned to look out of the window. As expected, it was dark outside with
colorful lights shimmering and shining.
He chuckled. "You are pregnant. It is normal for you to need more sleep. We feel safer if you can sleep that long."
That was what the doctors and Mary said.
Pregnant women tired easily and needed more naps.
However, a mother-to-be might not be able to fall asleep easily or sleep well each time, and those would mean that
she might be in poor health.
Sonia being able to fall into a restful sleep meant her body was not as weak as before.
She handed him her glass of water.
As he placed it on the bedside table, he asked, "You must be hungry. I'll have Madam Mary make you some food.
What do you want?"
She shook her head. "I don't know. Tell her to cook as she pleased."
"Very well." He ran a hand through her hair before walking toward the kitchen.
She pulled out her phone and checked if she received any messages during her nap.
She found that she received quite a few messages asking about her health from those she was close to. Grace and
Charles messaged her the most. They were all worried she was stuck in a funk.
The other secretaries and assistants at work were concerned about her as well.
The sight of those messages filled her heart with warmth.
When Toby walked back into the room to find her smiling, he walked over and asked, "What are you smiling about?"
She showed him the messages without hesitation. "They're all worried about me. I'm so lucky to have them."
"That's good, but isn't it better that you have me?" He pulled her hand over to place it over his heart.
She chuckled. "Yes, you're the very best. Oh, right. Don't you have a check-up today? How did it go?"
She stared at his chest in worry.
He smiled. "Everything is well. Don't worry."
"That's good." She nodded and stopped worrying when she heard that.
Soon, Mary brought her dinner out to her.
As usual, the food was quite bland. However, it was still delicious.
Sonia spent a few moments smelling the food and only started eating after she was certain she did not feel any
nausea.
Mary and Toby nervously watched her, only letting out twin sighs of relief when she was able to swallow a bite
without vomiting.
Sonia was snickering on the inside when she saw that.
Do they need to be like this?
Still, their concern made her feel like the luckiest person alive.
Umm. Why am reminded of Julia and Titus?
During the day when dining with them, the couple had acted the same; they nervously watched her with concern in
their eyes and only stopped worrying after she swallowed a bite without showing any signs of discomfort.
They looked exactly like Mary and Toby did now.
When Toby saw that Sonia was lost in her thoughts, he knew what she was likely thinking about. He pulled out a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfacial tissue and gently wiped her lips. "I still have Taylor locked up. Do you want to see her?"
Taylor had said everything that needed to be said, so he was now not worried Sonia would be hurt at all by Taylor's
words.
Moreover, Taylor was still tied up.
Surprised by the sudden mention of Taylor, Sonia froze and turned to look at him.
"Why did you ask me that?"
Her question was spoken in an inquisitive tone.
"Taylor is stuck between you and the Grays," he answered. "I believe you must have a lot of questions for her. That
is why I've kept her locked up instead of punishing her."
Sonia pursed her lips and went silent.
It was true. Just as he said, her entire life changed after Taylor sought her out and told her who she really was.
She had to admit that he was right once more; she did have a lot of questions for Taylor.
"Tomorrow," Sonia eventually spat out after a few long minutes of contemplation.
Toby knew what she meant by that. "Very well. I'll have it arranged so that you can talk to her tomorrow."
She nodded and turned her focus back to her food.
Meanwhile, in a hotel room.
Anya was flabbergasted when Tina's subordinates told her Sonia was actually Rina Gray while the current Rina was
just an impostor. She stared at her subordinate in disbelief as she shrieked, "Is that true? Titus Gray's real daughter
is Sonia?"
He nodded. "Yes, Miss Steinfeld. I am certain. I overheard Titus Gray himself say that."
Tina's entire body was trembling. It was clear the news was so shocking that she could not calm herself down.
"Sonia Reed is actually Rina Gray? How can this be? How can she be Rina?" Tina did not dare believe it, and she
could not believe the news.
The person she hated the most in her entire life was Sonia.
She and Sonia studied at the same university and shared the same dorm room.
Due to the feud between their families, she had always detested Sonia. She had been so happy when she realized
she was in the same university as Sonia because it meant she could bully Sonia as much as she pleased.
She had specifically used her connections to change her major to Sonia's major and get into Sonia's dorm room. All
of that was done so that she could bully Sonia and make her father so happy that he might reward her with more
allowance money.
In reality, her assumption was right; Titus was so happy that he gave her more pocket money. She had planned on
being even more hostile toward Sonia so that she could get Sonia kicked out of the university.
To her surprise, Sonia was not an easy target. After a few rounds of bullying, she began to fight back. Tina's goal of
bullying Sonia even harder failed as Sonia adapted and countered her every tactic. It infuriated her so much that
she loathed Sonia even more.
