Sonia remained silent in his embrace for a while before relaxing her stiff body. "I'm not getting agitated. It's just that suddenly hearing that name made me feel complicated."
If this was the past, she would've been filled with hatred upon hearing that name.
Now that she heard the name again after finding out he was her biological father, there was a complicated feeling on top of hatred, and she didn't know how to face the matter.
There was even a sense of avoidance.
If only Titus didn't bear so much affection for his daughter, Rina, she wouldn't have behaved like this. But unfortunately, he…
"I know." Toby gently patted Sonia's back.
She held onto the man's clothes tightly. "Why did you go and see him?"
Her intuition told her that he went to see Titus because of her.
As expected, Toby's next response confirmed her guess.
He gently stroked her. "I went to see Titus because of you, so after considering it for a while, I decided to go."
"You told him about my identity?" Sonia looked at him.
Besides that, she couldn't think of any other reason why he would see Titus. He couldn't just be visiting his father-in-law, could he?
What a joke. If she had complicated feelings toward Titus and didn't want to see him, Toby, who wasn't even blood-related to Titus and had even agreed with those who disliked him, couldn't possibly have a reason to meet him.
So, there could only be one possibility he went to see Titus: he must have told him everything.
Sure enough, under Sonia's gaze, Toby nodded slowly. "Yes, I told him."
"Why?" She clenched her hands.
Toby did not hide anything and replied directly, "It's better to be straightforward since this matter can no longer be concealed."
"And then?" Sonia stared at him. "What was their reaction?"
She suddenly wanted to know how the Grays felt when they found out that she was their daughter.
Would they continue to hate her as before, or…
"They were glad and happy," Toby answered.
Her eyes trembled. "What? Happy?"
She could hardly believe it.
He nodded. "Yes, they were very happy. To be honest, when I saw their reaction, I was also a little surprised. No matter how much they love their daughter, if they heard that their daughter is the long-time enemy that they have hated, or that she was raised by their enemy, their feelings should be complicated. But, the Grays, well, they weren't in a dilemma for long and merely accepted the fact while being elated. It was especially so for Mrs. Gray as she asked me a lot about you."
"Is that so…" Sonia opened her mouth, but she spoke with a hoarse voice as she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Is it happiness?
Perhaps there was some happiness, because who wouldn't like to hear that their biological parents had feelings for them?
While she did feel somewhat happy, there was greater pressure on her now, because the more Titus and Julia cared for her, the more she didn't know what to do.
"Did you tell her?" Sonia asked as she lowered her eyes.
Toby shook his head. "No, I didn't tell her much about you. I only told her you are doing fine now and the child is safe. She's happy and relieved."
