This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1453 Grew Up Together

"There are some clothes in here that aren't meant for pregnant women. Your grandmother made them for me, but

because of my health issues, I had been focusing on my recovery and gained some weight, so I can't fit into them

anymore. That's why I kept them until now, and I've brought them over for you to try on. You're slimmer than me,

and even after you have a baby in the future, you'll quickly get back in shape and be able to wear them," Julia

explained, and then joined Mary in encouraging Sonia to try them on.

"Give it a try, you'll look beautiful in them," they both said.

At this moment, Julia was grateful that she never wore these clothes, or else she wouldn't know what to give her

daughter. Sonia was tempted by the clothes but hesitated because they were Julia's.

In the end, Mary saw her dilemma and took her hand, supporting her off the bed. "Young Mistress Sonia, give it a

try. They're just clothes, and they were made by your grandmother," Mary said.

"Yes, Sonny, give them a try," Julia added, her eyes full of encouragement. She really hoped her daughter would

accept these clothes.

When she was pregnant with Sonia, she promised to give her daughter all the best things in life. But when Henry

took her daughter away, all her dreams were shattered. She was over 20 years late in fulfilling her promise, so now

she wanted to give her daughter the best and most valuable things she had. Naturally, she hoped her daughter

would accept everything.

"Young Mistress Sonia, give it a try," Mary urged and handed a dress to Sonia.

Sonia looked at it, then at Mary and Julia who were waiting expectantly. In the end, she couldn't resist the

temptation of the clothes and their encouragement, so she nodded and agreed.

"Great!" Mary exclaimed happily, and Julia's eyes welled up with emotion.

"Do you need my help, Sonny?" Julia asked as she watched Sonia go into the room to change.

Sonia shook her head. "No, I can do it myself."

Julia felt disappointed but didn't insist. Her daughter was willing to try on the clothes, and that was already good

enough.

Sonia went into the room to change while Mary and Julia waited outside. Mary touched the beautiful clothes and

sighed. "Pauline was so talented with her skill."

"Yes, she was very skilled at this. If she were still alive, I think she would have made clothes for Sonny and even her

wedding dress," Julia said with a smile. "When I was pregnant with Sonny, she said that if she could live to be a

hundred, she would personally embroider a traditional wedding dress for her granddaughter. She was a typical old-

fashioned woman and disliked modern-style dresses. When I married Titus in a modern-style wedding dress, she

didn't like it at all."

Julia shook her head and chuckled. "It's a pity she passed away so early. Otherwise, Sonny could have met her. She

loved Sonny so much."

"Before we knew that Tina was adopted by you, we heard that Pauline didn't like this granddaughter of hers and

even moved out of the Gray Residence because of that. Everyone said that Pauline favored boys and didn’t like

girls, so she only liked grandsons and not granddaughters. Now we know that it wasn't the case at all." Mary

finished sorting the clothes.

Julia joined in to help. "She only likes her biological granddaughter, and Tina was adopted by Titus because of my

illness. Understandably, she doesn't like Tina, but now Titus and I really regret adopting Tina."

"From your perspective, you had just lost a child and were sick, and Titus adopted a child for your sake. Your actions

were not wrong, but you didn't raise the child well." Mary's expression became much colder.

Julia understood what she meant and nodded with a bitter smile. "I know. That's why Titus and I have been

regretting and blaming ourselves lately, especially Titus. His mental state is worsening. Last night, I heard him

apologizing to someone in his dream. Although I didn't hear the name, I knew he was apologizing to Henry."

Inside the room, Sonia could clearly hear their conversation since they didn't deliberately lower their voices. When

she heard Julia say that Titus was apologizing to Henry, Sonia's emotions instantly became agitated. She wanted to

rush out and tell Julia that apologizing now was useless since Henry was already dead. Apologizing now would only

seem hypocritical, wouldn't it?

However, when she heard Julia say that Titus' mental state was getting worse, she felt deflated again. What else

could she say? Even if she went out and said those words, it seemed to be meaningless. After all, Titus was going to

die soon, and at least he knew how to reflect and apologize before he died. At least, her father could get an

apology. After all, Titus could completely refuse to admit his mistake, not feel that he was wrong, and not apologize,

right? She would not be able to do anything about that either. Now that Titus apologized, at least she did get

something in return.

Outside, Julia continued, "Titus, Henry, Lina, Mrs. Lane, and President Fuller's biological mother… We all knew each

other since childhood."

Sonia was stunned by this. She knew that her father and Titus were childhood friends who grew up together, and

Titus and Julia were childhood sweethearts. It wasn't surprising that they knew each other since childhood.

However, she had never heard of her mother, Charles' mother, and her mother-in-law knowing each other since

childhood.

"I know about this." Mary nodded.

Julia smiled and picked up the cup of tea. "Among us, Titus and I, Henry and Lina have the closest relationships.

Because of Henry and Titus' relationship, Lina and I also became good friends. At that time, my relationship with

her was even better than her relationship with Mrs. Lane. It's a pity that everything changed in the end, and the

problem was caused by Titus."

Mary looked at her, waiting for her to continue. Julia took a sip of tea and didn't let Mary wait too long before she

continued.

"My father-in-law was a very dominant and overbearing person. In fact, my mother-in-law didn't love him. She was

brought into the family forcefully by my father-in-law. And when it came to Titus' education, my father-in-law

wouldn't allow my mother-in-law to have any say. So, Titus basically inherited my father-in-law's personality. He's

selfish and cunning with a desire for revenge. When Titus was young, these traits weren't a big deal since we all

started from the same place. But as we got older and started to get involved in the family business, we began to

compare ourselves to each other, and life wasn't as carefree and happy as it used to be."

Julia let out a long sigh and continued, "My father-in-law was a person who didn't like to lose to others. Titus

inherited that trait as well. However, Titus didn't like to study, so when he was in school, he didn't mind losing to

Henry. He was only interested in the family business."

Seeing that Julia had finished her tea, Mary poured her another cup. Julia thanked her and continued, "But his

relationship with Henry soured due to the family business. Henry made it clear that he wasn't interested in his

family business and only wanted to do research. But since his family only had one heir, Henry had to take over the

family business. Although Henry didn't like to do business, he was talented in it and overshadowed Titus, who was

actually interested in doing business. With his personality, how could he accept being overshadowed by Henry, who

had a different passion?"
