Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1404

Sonia's eyes flickered. "Are you referring to their love for me?"

Charles nodded. "That's right. Although the Grays are unscrupulous people, no one can deny their love for their children. They're famous for doting on their children, and their unconditional love is partly responsible for the way Tina turned out. Even though their love resulted in raising an immoral person like Tina, they can't be faulted for loving their child. And, compared to Tina, the one they love the most is still you."

Sonia lowered her eyes.

Charles continued, "Because you're their biological daughter, they didn't suspect Taylor when she pretended to be you and reunited with the Grays. They showered her with even more love than they showed Tina. It proves that they truly love you, their only biological daughter. It's just that they didn't know you're the real Rina, so that's why they gave all their love to Taylor instead. Deep down inside, you know full well that the person they love isn't Taylor, but Rina, whom Taylor is pretending to be. In fact, you know full well that if you stood in front of them and told them that you're Rina, their love for Taylor would go to you instead. This love they have for their daughter is also the reason why you can't hate them as much."

"You're right," Sonia admitted with a bitter smile. "If they had shown no regard for Rina and hadn't treated Taylor that well, I wouldn't have broken down over the knowledge of my true identity. My hatred for them wouldn't have diminished. I could've even convinced myself that I'm not their daughter and that they had merely given me a shell to live in. If they didn't love me, then I wouldn't have to hesitate when it comes to taking my revenge. Yet, they love Rina so deeply. I'm sure that if they found out I'm their daughter, they would still be able to love me unconditionally."

The knowledge of this was Sonia's greatest burden.

If the Grays showed no affection for Rina, then even if Sonia found out that she was their biological daughter, she wouldn't feel the need to stop her plan for revenge. She would be able to carry on without a care in the world and act as if she wasn't their daughter.

Even if others criticize her for being cruel and heartless when the deed was done, she wouldn't be affected.

In a scenario like that, she would know full well that Henry and the Reeds were the most important people to her. The Grays wouldn't have given her anything, apart from a body to live in. Furthermore, the daughter they raised stole her husband and nearly took her life several times. It meant that she'd repaid them enough for the life they'd given her.

Thus, even if it resulted in her being scorned by others, she wouldn't hesitate at all when it came time for her to take revenge. She would simply view them as the enemy that so happened to be related by blood to her.

Yet, in reality, the Grays loved Rina dearly. Even if they knew that their enemies had raised Rina, they would still love her.

It was all because she was their only biological child.

Therefore, it was the Grays' love for Rina that flustered her, scared her, and made her feel at a loss over what she should do.

She didn't know whether she should be taking revenge anymore.

If she didn't, then she felt as if she was betraying the Reeds who had raised her for over two decades, and her father who loved her.

However, if she did, then it meant she would be delivering her biological parents who love her so much to the hands of the executioner. No one was able to do that unless they had a heart of stone.

What was she supposed to do now?

"It's alright, Sonny." Charles poured a glass of water. "Have some water first."

Sonia accepted the glass from him.

Charles sat down again. "Apart from visiting you, I also came in to put in a good word for Toby. I don't want to press you on how you're going to deal with the situation between you and Titus because you probably don't have an answer yet, so I won't ask about it. Do you resent Toby right now?"

Sonia pursed her lips. "He knew about my identity a long time ago, but he chose to hide it from me. He even helped Taylor. I feel…"

"Does it feel like he betrayed you by helping another woman?"
