Chapter 1359
Sonia secretly rolled her eyes. How could she not know what Toby was doing? He says we should share the good news with our friends and family, but in reality, he just wants to show it off to others. This guy is childish.
While thinking of that, she shook her head and let him be. Forget it. Seeing that today's a big day, he can do whatever he wants. Charles won't get angry anyway because the person he likes is not me anymore, but I am curious about what happened between him and Daphne.
"Are you going to let him do that?" asked Tim, as he glanced at Toby, who was excitedly sending messages.
Smiling, Sonia replied, "It's fine. He won't cause any trouble, so just let him do whatever he wants."
Tim shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything more. "Congratulations on your marriage."
"Thank you." She smiled in response and grabbed an envelope from her bag before offering it to him. "Here. This is yours."
"What's this?" He doubtfully received the envelope and opened it. "Money?"
"That's correct," she affirmed. "Since Toby and I have gotten married, we should prepare some monetary gifts and goody bags for our friends and family so that you can all share the happy occasion. This is yours."
While raising an eyebrow, he looked at the envelope in his hand and felt astonished. "This is the first time I received something like this."
Since he was young, everyone thought of him as a monster and never considered getting close to him.
He knew it was common for people to give out monetary gifts during special occasions, but he had never received or given out any. More importantly, he never cared about such things.
When Sonia gave him the envelope, it was his first time experiencing this sensation. He felt strange, and there was another feeling he could not describe, but he did not dislike it and even felt warm.
There was a fuzzy feeling in his heart.
Tim subconsciously tightened his grip around the envelope as if the thing he was holding was not an envelope with money but some kind of precious gem.
Sonia noticed his behavior and felt heartbroken for him. "I'm glad you like it."
After putting it away, he said, "I like it a lot. Thank you."
"No worries. Just remember to attend our wedding ceremony when we hold one," she spoke in a happy tone, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
He nodded and did not forget to remind them, "Since you've invited me, I will show up for sure. Alright. It's your big day today, so I won't disturb you. Enjoy your time together. Also, he's still recovering, so only hugs and nothing else."
At that, Sonia blushed, clearly embarrassed. She smiled and assured him. "Don't worry. We'll keep that in mind."
"That's great to hear. I'll be off now." Tim waved and left the room.
In the meantime, Toby was still texting Charles and Zane. Then, he suddenly chuckled victoriously. "Charles is so frustrated and is scolding me."
He proffered his phone over to Sonia so that she could see the words on the screen. 'Toby Fuller, you moron. How did you trick Sonny into agreeing?'
Feeling her lips twitching, she questioned, "What did you say to make Charles so worked up?"
There was a strange glint in Toby's eyes, but it soon disappeared as he replied calmly, "Nothing much. I just told them we're married. He can't take the news— Hey, Zane replied."
Then, he opened his message.
Sonia leaned on his back and looked over his shoulder to read the text.
It was similar to Charles' reply. The first message was Toby's full name, followed by several exclamation marks to show how shocked, angry, and doubtful he was.
Following the exclamation marks were bloody knives, and that was all.
However, the text confirmed that Zane was not in a good mood.
Knowing that made Toby feel happy because defeating his love rival was something worth being joyful about. Subsequently, the man who never liked chatting with others was now busy replying to Charles and Zane's messages.
Even if they were scolding him and calling him inhumane, it remained harmless to his good mood. In Toby's perspective, they were yelling at him because they were angry at their impotence, which was true.
Soon, Charles and Zane stopped replying as they saw the news about Toby and Sonia's registration of marriage.
At that moment, they felt their mind explode and go blank. It took them quite a while to return to their senses.
To Charles, seeing Sonia remarrying Toby made him feel indescribably sad because she was the woman he had loved since young. For more than a decade, she was under his love and protection. However, he never managed to capture her heart and become real lovers.
Although he knew it was impossible between them and decided to let go of his feelings and congratulate them, he still felt a sharp pain in his heart when told that they had remarried.
After all, that was the young woman he had loved since young, so he could not forget about her quickly and decisively. Otherwise, it meant that he was never truly in love with her.
Charles grabbed his phone and squatted on the floor, crying. The scene of a big man crying his heart out was heartbreaking.
Daphne was clueless about what had happened. She merely saw him breaking down after looking at his phone. As such, she deduced that it had something to do with Sonia because only Sonia could affect his emotions.
Suppressing the jealousy and sadness in her heart, Daphne covered her belly and made her way toward Charles before comforting him. "President Lane, are you alright?"
She reached out to touch his shoulder, but he suddenly sprang to his feet and looked at her with bloodshot eyes like he was looking at his enemy. "Don't touch me!"
That scream shocked her. She turned pale and was frozen in her spot while looking at him, not knowing what to say. Yet, he was unaware that he had scared her, or perhaps he did but was unperturbed. He picked up his phone and left the room.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Seeing that she was once again deserted, coupled with the aggrievance she had suffered earlier, Daphne suddenly broke down and began crying.
On the other hand, Zane was not fairing any better.
After he received the message from Toby and replied, he had been sitting dazedly on the couch like a soulless puppet and had not moved since.
Douglas and the butler, Lenny, were standing together and felt worried when they saw his state.
"Young Master Douglas, why don't you head over and comfort him?" Lenny lowered his head to look at the child in his arms before softly suggesting, "The woman your uncle loves has gotten married today, so he's not in a good mood and needs someone to comfort him. Why don't—"
"No." Douglas arrogantly raised his head and rejected.
Lenny was surprised. "Why?"
"He's the useless one, so why should I go and comfort him? I won't do that." Douglas scoffed. "It's true. Since he likes Aunt Sonia, why didn't he pursue her? He keeps saying that he likes her but doesn't do anything to get her. Which woman would believe him when he does nothing to show it? Only fools would be together with a man like him."
While Douglas was criticizing his uncle, he looked at Zane with disdain. "Although I'm just a kid, I know if someone likes me and wants to be with me, that person will take action and pursue me. Yet, if it were only words without any action or confession, I wouldn't be with him. A man like that is unreliable, so that's why I say Uncle Zane did this to himself. There's no use in comforting him."
