Chapter 676 It Was All Him
“Then?” Sonia clenched her hands into fists.
So, the Ocean’s Heart wasn’t meant for Tina at all.
It was meant for Sonia from the very beginning.
“Then, after buying it, I suddenly realized that I have no way of passing it to you.” Toby looked right into Sonia’s eyes. “At that time, we were already divorced, so no matter what identity I used, or what ideas I came up with, it simply wasn’t suitable for me to give you the Ocean’s Heart. So, I decided not to give it in the end and I just thought it would be lovely to put it on display, if nothing else. However, I never thought that someone would leak the news of me buying the Ocean’s Heart and even circulated rumors that I bought it as a wedding gift for Tina.”
“However, you didn’t try to mediate the situation, did you?” Sonia bit her lip as she was a little upset.
How could she not be?
Since it wasn’t a wedding gift for Tina, then why wouldn’t he come out to explain the misunderstanding? Why would he have remained silent?
To be honest, Sonia wasn’t quite comfortable with that thought.
Toby smoothed Sonia’s hair and chuckled. “Sorry, it was my fault, but I had my own reasons too.”
“What kind of reasons?” Sonia glared at him, acting like she would duke it out with him if he didn’t give her a good explanation.
He parted his thin lips and replied, “I didn’t know of the rumor at first. You know that I don’t follow news like this often. I only knew of it when Tom told me about it in the end. I was going to clear up the misunderstanding, but something happened at that moment.”
“The incident where Tina accused me of running into her?” She could immediately guess what he was referring to.
After all, that was the largest incident at the time.
Toby nodded. “That’s right. The Grays had spread the rumors that you crashed into Tina, which turned the public opinion against you. The people I sent to watch you told me that you were exasperated, so you worked with Charles and Carl to locate the CCTV recordings of Tina’s accident to prove your innocence. It was at that moment when I realized that I had wrongly accused you and that the Grays had deceived me. You never committed the act of running into Tina. I’m sorry.”
He placed his hand behind Sonia’s head to guide it against his chest as he apologized in a regretful tone.
In their 6 years of marriage, he was cold to her not only because he felt that he didn’t love her; the main reason was because he thought she had crashed into Tina.
So, in the end, when Toby learned that Sonia was searching for the CCTV recordings with Charles and the others, he finally realized that he had been in the wrong.
As Sonia listened to Toby apologizing for his earlier accusation, she felt her nose wrinkle while a bitter feeling welled up in her chest.
She felt wronged for all those years of injustice, but she was also letting it go because of his apology.
She realized then that she had always been bothered by his misunderstanding of her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so emotional when she now heard his apology.
Toby could feel the woman trembling in his arms, so he held her closer and apologized again, “I’m sorry, Sonia. I’m really sorry.”
Sonia shook her head in his arms as her voice quivered. “It’s okay. You made up for it, didn’t you? We could only locate the CCTV recordings with such ease because you helped us, right?”
She looked up at him.
