Chapter 726 Two Childish Men
“No. I’ll stay here with you.” Toby went to the couch and took a seat.
Sonia didn’t chase him out, and she went back to her desk. “Sure. As long as you’re not bored out of your mind.”
“Do I look like the kind of guy who gets bored easily?” Toby poured a cup of tea for himself and smiled.
Sonia smiled at him, but she said nothing. Then, she made a call.
When Toby saw her putting her phone against her ear, he rubbed the side of the cup. “Who are you calling?”
Since the call hadn’t gone through yet, Sonia took a second to answer, “Charles.”
Toby frowned. “Lane?”
“Yes.”
“Why are you calling him?” He sounded jealous. He knew Charles had given up on Sonia, but he knew the guy still had feelings for her, and that alone made Toby dislike him.
Sonia knew why Toby’s face fell, and she shook her head. “I want to thank him. He’s the first one who tried to clear my name right after Jessica launched her smear campaign. Oh, and Zane too, so I’ll have to thank him later. Stop getting jealous.”
Toby grunted and stayed quiet. Fine. I’ll let this one slide because they helped her. Despite him thinking that, he still stared at Sonia and listened closely in case the conversation got out of hand.
Sonia felt his gaze, and she knew why he was looking. She shook her head in amusement.
Charles heard her laughter, and he was confused. “Why are you laughing, Sonia?” Did I crack a joke or something? I don’t think I did.
Sonia waved her hand. “It’s nothing. I was just amused because I saw a childish guy doing something stupid.”
“A childish guy?” Charles was even more confused now. “Who is it?”
“Doesn’t matter.” Sonia wasn’t about to tell him it was Toby.
Since she wasn’t spilling, Charles shrugged and stopped asking.
Toby realized that Sonia was calling him childish, and he arched his eyebrow. Does she think I’m a childish guy?
Sonia made some small talk and was about to hang up so she could call Zane, but then Charles remembered something, and he stopped her seriously. “Oh, right. Sonia. You need to hear this.”
Sonia put her phone back against her ear, and she turned serious as well. “What is it, Charles?”
“Someone from the hospital in Norfolk called me. You know, the place where your parents’ daughter was born.”
“Yes, and?” Sonia nodded.
Charles squinted. “The guy told me that Titus sent someone to snoop around about your mother’s case twenty-six years ago.”
“What?” Sonia’s face fell. “Why would Titus want to find out about that?”
