Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1436

Sonia did not want to eat another bite. Whatever she had on her plate was enough to make her entire being tremble from having her mental defenses tested.

She did not know what would happen if she continued to eat the food. Would she immediately forgive all wrongs and acknowledge Julia and Titus as her parents?

She had been yearning for a mother's love for way too long. If Julia kept up with the offense on her mental defenses, she would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Today's meeting had to end now. She could not let it continue any longer.

She put down her phone. Her body trembled as she got to her feet.

Toby followed suit and wrapped her in his arms.

He had not taken a single bite of the food served at all.

One, Julia prepared the feast just for Sonia. He knew Sonia had been longing for a mother's love.

Hence, he did not want to step in between them. He wanted her to know what a mother's love felt like and calm any regrets she had.

Two, he was not hungry at all.

"Mr. and Mrs. Gray, my wife is full and it is getting late. We should be going," Toby announced, glancing at Julia and Titus.

Sonia kept her head ducked down the entire time. She did not say a word, and her face was hidden from view.

Titus had a clearer view of her face than Julia, so he understood there was something off about Sonia's current mood. He nodded. "Very well. Stay safe. If possible, call us or message us once you're home to let us know you've arrived safely."

Toby kept quiet. No one knew if that meant he agreed to the request or not.

Julia was silent the entire time, staring at her daughter with eyes full of reluctance.

She has only just arrived. Why is she leaving so soon?

There was still food on the table, and she had not hugged Sonia yet.

A thought seemed to have struck Julia as she suddenly placed her cutlery down and walked over to Sonia. Then, catching Sonia and Toby by surprise, she pulled Sonia into an embrace.

Sonia instinctively began to struggle.

However, Julia's arms were wrapped so tightly around her that she could not get away.

Toby intended on helping her out, but he saw the look Titus shot at him, begging him to just let Julia hug Sonia for a little while longer.

Toby watched Julia sob as she hugged Sonia, who suddenly stopped struggling and dazedly allowed the hug to continue. He eventually gave up on separating the two women.

He could see that Sonia wanted to experience a mother's embrace as well. She initially struggled only because she was not used to the embrace.

"I have missed you so much, Sonny. I have missed you so, so very much," Julia suddenly said. Her throat was tight with longing.

Sonia froze as emotions swelled in her.

Julia loosened her arms and moved to place her hands on Sonia's cheeks as she stared at Sonia with teary eyes. "I love you, Sonny. You are the child your father and I finally received after years of treatment. You are our most beloved person. We're so sorry to have lost you and done so many hurtful things to you. We feel very guilty for it, but we will not plead for your forgiveness. We just want to say that we have missed you, and we love you."

Titus did not say a single word throughout Julia's speech, but the way he was looking at Sonia spoke of his sincere agreement.

It was evident; whatever Julia said was exactly what he wanted to say, too.

Sonia bit down on her lip. She then opened her mouth as if to speak, but she could not utter a single word.
