Chapter 1428 The Excited Mrs. Gray
Julia quickly urged.
At Julia's urging, Titus' hands shook. He couldn't grip the phone properly, but he still wanted to answer the phone quickly. So, he stretched out his hands to take the phone and put it to his ear. "Hello?"
"It's me," said Toby.
Titus' eyes dimmed when he heard his voice.
Julia had a similar reaction.
However, Titus was still rational. He quickly regained his composure and asked, "I know you are calling about what we talked about yesterday, right?"
On the other end of the phone, Toby looked down at his wife, unable to discern her expression. He lightly lifted his chin and replied, "Yes, I'm calling to tell you that my wife has agreed to meet with you."
At this, Julia immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears of joy. "Sonny agreed to see us. Titus, did you hear that? Sonny agreed. We… We can see her now… Sob…"
Although Titus didn't say anything, his usually dull eyes turned red with traces of tears in them. "Yes, I did. I heard it."
Titus' trembling voice couldn't conceal his joy and excitement.
After hearing their reaction on the other end of the phone, the usually composed and unemotional Sonia couldn't help but tightly bite her lip. She felt an indescribable sense of envy, fullness, and sweetness in her heart.
Even Toby couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking about how it was all a cruel joke of fate. If Titus hadn't been so bad, if Henry hadn't stolen the child, Sonia would have received as much love from the Gray Family as she had from her own.
Though there was no use thinking about it anymore since all of this was already in the past.
"President Fuller, when will S-Sonny come to see us?" Titus also followed Julia in addressing Sonia this way.
It was his first time calling her nickname, so there was inevitably some awkwardness and discomfort.
Toby looked at Sonia.
Her gaze fell on her phone, and finally, she said slowly, "Tomorrow."
Titus and Julia heard it.
Julia got too excited and simply took over the phone. "Okay, okay. Tomorrow, then. Sonny, you…"
She was about to ask about Sonia's current situation and her health. But before she could finish her sentence, she realized there was no sound on the other end of the phone. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She quickly checked the phone and realized the call had already been hung up.
Julia put down the phone in disappointment. "They hung up…"
"It's okay." Titus held her hand and comforted her. "The child is not used to us yet, and she still can't let go of those things in her heart. It's normal for her not to talk to us. She doesn't know what to say and hanging up also avoids awkwardness. When we meet tomorrow, we will have the chance to talk about many things."
Encouraged by his words, she nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's better to talk face to face, which is more sincere than over the phone. I'm very happy that Sonny finally agreed to meet us. I thought she would never agree."
"Yes, if that child can come to terms with this, I'm already satisfied." Titus nodded.
Julia put down the phone. "No, I have to buy some groceries and cook something delicious for her. I've never cooked for her before, so I don't know what she likes to eat. But I saw her buying blueberry cakes before. Since she likes such things, her taste must be similar to mine. I'll just make more of what I like. Titus, I'll buy the groceries myself. You rest here. If there's anything, call the caretaker or me. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and hurriedly left with joy.
At the sight of this, Titus couldn't help but smile.
He knew how much his wife loved their daughter. Due to their physical conditions, they thought they would never have a child in their lifetime because they had tried for so many years with no success and had even given up hope. However, one day, the hospital called and told them their IVF had been successful and they could proceed with embryo transfer. No one knew how excited and happy they were at that moment.
Afterward, his wife successfully became pregnant. Every day, she carefully protected their child. She sang to her and even did prenatal education.
As a couple, they eagerly awaited the birth of their child. They had even ordered a gift for her from a jewelry store in advance—a set of mother-daughter necklaces that embodied the father's best and most profound blessings for his daughter's arrival in the world.
Yet, who knew that their daughter would be taken away by Henry just a month after she was born? Since then, Julia's mental state had been greatly affected as she nearly went crazy. Even Titus himself was not in good shape mentally. If it weren't for the need to support the Gray Family and Triforce Enterprise, he might have gone crazy too. After all, she was his only child.
To calm his wife's emotions, he had no choice but to adopt an abandoned baby who was similar in size to their daughter from an orphanage. With the new baby, his wife's mental state did improve significantly, but he knew that his wife's love for Tina, their adopted daughter, was restrained even though she loved her.
Neither had Julia said she would cook for Tina nor did she cook for her, and she had never personally bought clothes for Tina. Julia understood the difference between a biological daughter and an adopted daughter, and she was only willing to give all her maternal love to her biological daughter.
Titus was the same. He knew he was not a good person, and the daughter he raised wasn't either, but he never advised his adopted daughter not to follow in his footsteps and not to become bad. It was only because Tina was not his biological daughter.
If she were his biological daughter, he would never let her become someone like him, because he could protect her while he was alive.
But if he passed away and his daughter had that kind of personality, who could replace him to protect her?
So, while he hated Henry, he also had to admit that Henry had taught his daughter well and shaped her into the kind of person he wanted. Titus wondered whether or not he could ever teach Sonia just as well as he wanted if she had been with him. Perhaps not.
Now, he had finally found his biological daughter, and Julia began to express all of her maternal love for Sonia. When she was pregnant with their daughter, she promised to cook for her, braid her hair, and buy her clothes.
But she never fulfilled those promises for Tina and Taylor after Sonia was stolen. Now, she finally brought up those promises again. The reason was her real daughter was back.
Finally, he saw the happy look on Julia's face again. It was the very same look she had when she first got pregnant with their daughter.
How wonderful.
Titus closed his eyes and smiled happily, but his smile disappeared after a while. Then, he took his phone and made another call. "It's me."
His assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yes, President Gray."
"Go to my villa and bring me the safe from my study," Titus instructed as he massaged his temples.
"The safe?" The assistant was a little confused.
Titus nodded. "Stop asking so many questions. Just do it."
"Okay." The assistant nodded and hung up the phone.
Titus put down his phone and sighed.
It's time to end everything.
