Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1409

Toby grunted and took the fork, then he dug into the aglio olio. Sonia rested her chin on her hand, staring at him. Not a sound echoed in the air, save for the sound of Toby munching on pasta. But even so, Sonia still felt warm and fuzzy. The man she loved was right in front of her. Not too long later, Toby was done with the aglio olio, and Sonia sat up. "Do you want more?"

"No. I'm full." He shook his head.

Sonia didn't persuade him to eat more. Everyone's appetite was different. Trying to force someone to eat more would be bad for them.

Mary took the cutlery away and did the dishes, while Sonia poured Toby a glass of warm water. "Here."

"Thank you." He took the glass of water and had a sip.

"Has Charles gone back home?" asked Sonia.

"Yes." Toby nodded. "Been a while now. He's coming back tomorrow, and his mother is tagging along."

"They must be worried about me." Sonia sighed.

Toby got up and held her hand, then he pulled her up from the chair. They walked to the bed, and he said, "It's not your fault. Taylor's in the wrong here. She shouldn't have told you the truth now."

"What do you mean?" Sonia looked at him. "You weren't going to hide it from me forever?"

"I would love to." He lifted the blanket and asked her to get into the bed. "But I knew things wouldn't go my way. You would have found out sooner or later. I just wanted to keep it a secret a while longer, at least until Titus was dead, his family fallen apart, and company destroyed. You would bear no grudge against him anymore by then. Even if you were to find out he was your father, you wouldn't be in too much shock. You'd be sad for a while, sure, but that would pass. But now? You just went through a breakdown."

Sonia couldn't argue with that. If she only knew that Titus was her father after his death, it would still come as a shock due to the scale of the secret, but she wouldn't react this badly. If Titus were dead, then the bad blood between the Grays and Reeds would be gone. She wouldn't have to face him, and that alone made accepting the fact easier. However, Titus was still alive. Now she knew he was her father, and yet she had to take revenge. It was cruel for her.

Toby tucked her in and kissed her forehead. "I was already going to deal with him for you. You know how easily I can take him down if I want to. He helped Tina in her hypnosis conspiracy. I have every reason to take him down, but do you know why I haven't?"
