Chapter 741 Move
Sonia knew what he was talking about, and she was shocked. “You’re saying she still thinks I’m Rina? That’s why she
acted that way?”
Toby nodded. “No other explanation fits the bill. That’s probably why she changed her attitude.”
Sonia thought about it for a while. “You’re right. I can’t think of any other explanation for this. Julia hated my guts
until today, but I bet they know how ludicrous their suspicion is now. The real Rina is right beside them, after all.
They should have known I’m not the real Rina.”
“Titus has probably gotten over it and knows you’re not Rina, but not Julia. Like I said, she still thinks you’re Rina.
Women are always more sentimental when it comes to matters like this, especially when said woman is a mother.”
Toby looked at her.
He was still hiding something from her. Even if Julia knew Sonia wasn’t her daughter, the thought that she could be
Rina wouldn’t be that easy to wipe out once it had formed. Every time she saw Sonia, she would be reminded of
that thought, and she would act weird around Sonia. For example, she would be concerned about her situation.
If this went on, Julia would care more about Sonia, and she might even think of Sonia as her own daughter, for
blood bonds were always mysterious. When that time came, Julia would suspect that Sonia was Rina again.
Sonia didn’t know what he was thinking. She agreed with his analysis, and she nodded. “You’re right. Women are
always more sentimental than men are. I can see why Julia acted so weird around me.”
Toby had mixed feelings about the matter, so he changed the topic. “And what did Taylor say to you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pouted. “Even weirder stuff. She asked me if I think I’m Rina or something.”
Toby’s face fell. “She really said that?” What was she doing? Isn’t she worried Sonia might suspect something?
Sonia nodded. “Yeah. She told me all that because she’s jealous.”
“Is that so?” Toby squinted.
Sonia sneered. “She told me that Titus suspects that I might be Rina after he watched the press conference, and
she asked me that because she’s worried I might take her place and dupe the Grays so I can take revenge on them.
Something must be wrong with her.” She pointed at the side of her head speechlessly. “How on earth did she come
up with that idea?”
Toby was silent for a while. He never thought Taylor could actually come up with a good explanation for such a
blatant lie, and Sonia bought it. Toby looked at her. I don’t blame Sonia. She wouldn’t think she was the real Rina,
nor would she even have that idea in the first place. She has to believe Taylor. Even if she knows Taylor is lying, she
mustn’t expose her. “Don’t take what she said to heart.”
“I know. I don’t care about stupid stuff like that.” She smiled.
Toby grunted, then he asked, “Did she ask you any other question?” Like if you have a red mark or a birthmark? If
she does, then it’s going to be trouble.
Fortunately, Sonia shook her head. “No.”
Toby heaved a sigh of relief in silence. “Good to hear.”
Sonia looked at him curiously. “You sound relieved that they didn’t ask me anything else. Are you hiding something
from me?”
“No.” Toby put on a calm look and held her hand. “I’m just worried Julia might ask you some hard questions and
mock you,” he said calmly.
“Don’t worry. She didn’t do that this time.” Sonia shrugged. “And since she cared about me for some reason, I
didn’t argue back like I always did. It’s the first time we got along peacefully, and honestly, it feels fine.”
She truly felt it was fine. Even if she didn’t argue with Julia, staying with her enemy in a confined space would still be
a bad experience for her, but not this time. She didn’t feel any animosity from Julia, nor was there any tension in
the air. She just felt awkward, and she had mixed feelings about it. Overall, it was a nice experience, and she didn’t
feel uncomfortable.
Sonia was wondering why she could get along with Julia that one time. When Toby saw her expression, he pursed
his lips. Sonia didn’t know the reason, but he did. They’re mother and daughter. Actual mother and daughter. They
know nothing about this, but the bond is there. It’s a magical thing. Even if two brothers were separated from birth
and had no idea they had a sibling, they’d still feel close to their brother if they saw each other one day.
That was how powerful bonds were. That was why Sonia could get along well with Julia and didn’t even argue with
her. However, he couldn’t tell her that. He knew it was unfair to her, but it was for her own good. Besides, he wasn’t
planning on hiding it from her forever. He would tell her who she really was once Titus was dead. Once he passed
away, the Grays would be no more, and he wouldn’t have to worry about her breaking down because of her identity
in the feud between the Grays and Reeds.
Sonia noticed Toby spacing out again, and she stared at him as she placed her left cheek in her hand.“You spaced
out again.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToby quickly snapped out of it.
Sonia was about to ask him what he was thinking about and why he spaced out twice, but then the divider rolled
down, and Tom looked at them in the rear-view mirror. “We’re here, sir, Miss Reed.”
“That’s fast.” She forgot about her questions and rolled the window down, and she saw Bayside Residence standing
not far away.
“I kept talking to you and didn’t pay attention.” She rolled the window back up.
Toby chuckled. “That means I’m all you think about.”
“You think too highly of yourself.” She rolled her eyes, but she didn’t refute that.
Toby beamed.
Sonia noticed the look in his eyes, and she felt embarrassed, then she turned away. “I’ll get out now.” She got out of
the car right away.
Toby opened the door on his side and got out, then he told Tom, “Take the luggage up.”
Tom just got out of the car as well. “Yes,” he said, then he went to the trunk.
Sonia was curious. “What luggage?”
Toby didn’t answer, so Tom did it for him. “It’s Mr. Fuller’s. There’s his clothes and necessities. He said you won’t
move to his place so soon, so that’s why he opted to move to your place instead. I had to pack his stuff. Two crates
of it.”
Tom took two gigantic luggage out of the trunk. The luggage reached Sonia’s waist, and when she saw it, the corner
of her lip twitched. “You really think of my place as your home, huh?”
