This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 974 Dispelling Her Doubts

“Yes.” Toby then set his utensils down and said, his eyes flashing, “You know that Titus and his wife once suspected

you were their daughter, right?”

Sonia nodded in response. While recalling this, a tinge of annoyance flashed across her face. “I know. I recall

publicly admitting during Jessica’s press conference that I am not my parents’ biological child and was instead

discovered by my father three days after he took Rina away. Titus and Julia began to suspect that I was the real

‘Rina’. It’s amusing how they continue to suspect other people as their daughter even after Rina has been found

and a DNA test has been performed to confirm her identity. In this regard, I sympathize with her.”

Toby felt a tinge of guilt when he saw Sonia’s disdainful expression, but he didn’t show it. “There’s one thing you

don’t know about,” he said, his face expressionless.

“What’s that?” Sonia asked curiously.

With his gaze lowered, Toby answered, “I happened to hear that during the time when both Titus and Julia

suspected you were the real ‘Rina’, Julia expressed that she did not have any feelings towards the current Rina.

Rina heard it and from what I’ve heard, her reaction was massive.”

Though Toby dismissed it as a coincidence, he had obtained such information from the people he had sent to spy on

Rina.

That’s why he knew this piece of information and Sonia didn’t.

“What?” Sonia was stunned by his words. “Julia said she doesn’t have any feelings towards Rina?”

“Yes.”

“How can that be?” She shook her head, feeling stunned. “Julia had a serious illness after my father took Rina

away, and it is still affecting her emotionally. Logically, she should be overjoyed and lavishing Rina with her love now

that Rina has returned. Julia can’t possibly have no feelings for Rina! Furthermore, from what I can tell, they get

along well.”

“Julia is just putting on a show for the outsiders.” Toby put his utensils down and leaned back against his chair. “She

is well aware that such an attitude is wrong, so even though she has no feelings for Rina, Julia accepts her

responsibility as a mother and pretends that she adores Rina.”

“Oh my.” Sonia believed everything Toby had said. After all, he had no reason to lie to her.

She then sneered coldly and continued, “That’s unusual. How could a mother have no feelings for her daughter? I

don’t understand that.”

Toby did not say anything to this, as he knew there was nothing wrong with Julia.

Rina wasn’t her biological daughter; that was why she had no feelings for her.

Truth be told, Toby was also shocked and had the same doubts as Sonia had now when he first heard about it.

But Toby knew something that Sonia didn’t—the current Rina was an imposter. She was not Titus and Julia’s

biological daughter. After all, Sonia was the true ‘Rina’!

Hence, he understood why Julia did not have any feelings toward Rina.

This was her natural instinct as her mother.

Despite not knowing that Rina, who was in front of her now, was an imposter, Julia’s maternal instinct prevented

her from having any feelings for an imposter.

Sonia, on the other hand, did not know what Toby was thinking. She bit her lips for a few seconds and as if she had

suddenly realized something, she opened her eyes widely and exclaimed, “Wait a minute… So, Rina was afraid of

me meeting Titus and Julia, right? Rina wanted to chase me out because she is still bothered by the fact that they

both once took me for their daughter, and Julia even once hurt Rina’s heart over this. This is also why Rina followed

me all the way, fearing that I would run into Titus and Julia and confirm their suspicions that I am their daughter,

right?”

Toby responded with a light hum. “This is possible.”

In fact, he initially did not plan to tell Sonia that Titus and Julia might be in Rina’s room. He was also concerned that

something unexpected would occur when they all met.

But, after giving it some thought, he decided against it and told her directly about Titus and Julia.

If he did not do so, Sonia would be left wondering why Rina acted so strangely, and she would inquire about who

was inside Rina’s room. After receiving the answer, she would begin to wonder why Rina was so afraid of allowing

her to meet with Titus and Julia.

With that doubt planted within her, Sonia would undoubtedly pursue the matter. It would be a disaster if she

managed to get the whole truth out.

That being the case, he told her right away that the person inside was Titus and his wife, followed by him

purposefully leading her astray. This would clear her doubts and prevent any further investigation.

And he was right. Based on Sonia’s reaction and her next words, he knew that he had succeeded in doing so.

With her lips pursed, she said dismissively, “Is there a problem with Rina’s mind? A DNA test confirmed that she is

their daughter. I just happen to share some characteristics with their daughter, but that doesn’t mean I’m her!

What does she have to be concerned about?”

Sonia really could not fathom Rina’s thinking.

In her opinion, Rina simply wasn’t someone normal.

Noticing that Sonia was no longer interested in Rina’s room, Toby relaxed his brows and stood up.

Sonia saw what he was doing and reflexively asked, “You’re going to the gents?”

“Yes.” He nodded. “Sit here and don’t run around.”

She merely rolled her eyes in response. “I am not a child. You don’t have to remind me of this. Besides, what’s the

big deal if I go out? I can’t possibly get lost, can I?”

“You’re always a child to me,” he said with a warm smile on his face.

Toby, of course, wasn’t afraid of her getting lost.

He was terrified of her running into Titus and Julia!

Though she would not overthink, the same couldn’t be said for them.

Hence, he had to remind her to stay in this room, to be safer rather than sorry.

“I know. I won’t go anywhere,” Sonia waved her hand and replied.

Her face was blushing as well.

He dares to say that I’m a child to him?

I have never seen anyone who would do all those things to a child.

Sonia’s face flushed when she thought of that.

However, Toby did not realize that as his mind was elsewhere. When she waved her hand earlier, he had already

moved forward and walked outside.

The moment he stepped out of the room, he took a glance at the row of private rooms opposite him.

He had no idea which room Rina was in but according to Sonia, he knew it was one of the rooms in the row

opposite theirs.

He then locked his gaze on two rooms that were most likely to contain Rina, before pulling out his phone and

texting, ‘Take Titus and his family out of this restaurant.’

His tone in the message came across as authoritative, but not at all offensive.

After all, Toby was a natural leader with the authority to rule over everyone.

He took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it after sending the message. Then, he leaned against the wall next to

him and began smoking.

Every other man smoked the same way; it was nothing special at all.

But Toby was unique. The way he smoked was captivating, with his actions revealing a delicate sense. When he

puffed, it almost felt as if there was more to what he did.

Those who looked at him would sense that he had been through a lot.

And that was what made him attractive.

Meanwhile, the Gray Family was eating in the room across from him.

Rina was preoccupied while eating the food Julia had placed on her plate. She didn’t even notice Julia calling to her.

It was until Titus gently pushed her arm that she regained her senses, thereafter dropping the food that was in her

spoon and onto her plate.
