During the weekend, Sonia and Charles went to Alaric’s racecourse after being coerced by Grace to do so.
The racecourse was about the size of eight to nine football fields, which made it enormous, whereas on the other side was a golf course that was surrounded by mansions behind it.
Behind the mansions was a mountain that was about 700 to 800 meters above sea levels. There was an observation deck at the mountain peck and it was rumored to be a great place for stargazing and catching the sunrise.
On the way there, an excited Charles kept rambling about his plans for these two days while Sonia listlessly sat at the front seat with a pale face.
When he noticed that, he suppressed his excitement to ask in worry, “What’s wrong, Sonia? You look pale; are you feeling unwell?”
“Yeah. My chest feels a bit tight, but I’m guessing that it's car sickness,” she answered weakly before she leaned against the car window to close her eyes.
Her response caused Charles to frown in suspicion. “Car sickness? I thought you didn't suffer from those?”
At this moment, Sonia opened her eyes a little before a weird glint flashed past her eyes.
Indeed, she wasn’t suffering from car sickness.
However, as she was pregnant, she couldn’t stand the scent of many things. Even the stench of gas had made her extremely uncomfortable.
Still, she couldn’t tell Charles that.
“It’s fine. It could be the result of my flu too,” Sonia lied as she bit her lips.
Nevertheless, Charles didn’t doubt her answer as he nodded. “The temperature has been dipping recently, so it’s easy to catch a cold. I’ll ask a doctor to come and take a look at you after we arrive at the mansion.”
“No!” She immediately rejected him. “I’ll be fine once I have rested for a bit. I’ve taken my medicine with me as well.”
As she was afraid that he might not believe her, she even patted her bag slightly.
After noticing that Sonia was well-prepared, he stopped saying anything.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the mansion as Charles parked the car outside the chateau and went to the trunk to get their luggage while Sonia helped him out as well.
However, Charles stopped her immediately when she wanted to help him carry the luggages. “I can do it myself. Go ahead and rest in one of the rooms since you’re not feeling well. President Cunningham mentioned that since another couple had booked the room on the second floor, we’ll be staying on the third floor.”
“Alright.” Instead of rejecting him, Sonia nodded and started to head toward the mansion.
She was feeling really unwell, and she wanted to lay down for a while as she felt really dizzy.
After Sonia left, Charles started to move the luggages inside alone.
Fortunately, there wasn't much luggage as the both of them had taken one each, so it only took Charles one journey to move everything in.
There were five bedrooms on the third floor and he had selected the room opposite Sonia.
Once he had brought all of the luggage into their respective rooms, Charles headed to the balcony and gave Grace a call.
At the same time, a black Maybach drove over from afar and it stopped in front of the mansion.
After he opened his car door, Toby stepped out of the car before he walked over to yank open the front passenger door.
Then, Tina bent a little to exit the car before she started to look around and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow! The air here is crisp!”
He hummed in response. “It’s not bad.”
“Toby, looks like we made the correct decision to come here.” She grabbed onto his arm cheerfully while he patted her hand. “Alright. Let go of me, Tina. I still have to grab the luggage.”
“Okay.” Tina obediently released Toby’s arm.
After that, he started heading toward the trunk at the back while she trailed behind him.
When they arrived at the trunk, Tina suddenly noticed the Benz next to them and pulled on Toby’s sleeve. “Toby, does that car belong to the other couple?”
“Probably.” He glanced at the car before turning away.
However, she felt uncomfortable and pouted. “I was really looking forward to spending some alone time with you, but it looks like that’s not possible.”
“They’re the younger family members of President Cunningham’s good friend, so you’ll have to be patient with them since we can’t be rude. President Cunningham also mentioned that the couple will be staying on the third floor, so they won’t disturb us.” Toby reached out to ruffle Tina’s hair while she grabbed his arm to swing it a little before she whined, “I’m just complaining a little and I don’t mean anything else.”
