Chapter 11

Sonia only sat in Toby’s car—they didn’t speak at all along the way. Soon, they arrived at the Fullers’old mansion. Rose Fuller lived in the suburbs. She loved the quietness; she was often meditating andpraying, and only a few women waited on her side. From afar, Sonia could hear the old lady’s coughs.Rose’s face was pale, and she didn’t seem to be in good health. At first, she said coldly to Toby, “Goand stand by the door.” Then, she took Sonia into the house. “Who would have thought that not longafter I went away, such a big thing would happen. Sonia, you are too impulsive this time round.” Soniaknew that the old lady was talking about her divorce from Toby. Slowly stepping forward, she held theold lady’s usually cold hand and smiled slightly. “Old Mrs. Fuller, you should be happy for me. I canfinally be myself, right?” The old lady glanced at Toby, who was outside, with a slight complaint in hereyes, and turned around while looking a little sad. “Toby, that foolish child. How could he let such agood wife like you go? And now, you even addressed me as ‘Old Mrs. Fuller’!” Sonia was startled, andshe could feel tears filling up her eyes. “Grandma.” Rose patted the back of Sonia’s hand. “Sonia, I canbear witness to your feelings for Toby these years. Can you really let go?” “I have no choice but to letgo, Grandma.” Sonia felt bitterness in her heart. So what if I couldn’t let go? Enough is enough. The oldlady hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her. “I won’t blame you for divorcing Toby. Iknew this day would come sooner or later. It’s Toby who does not have the luck to be with you.” Sonialeaned quietly in Rose’s arms. In the past few years in the Fuller family, Rose was the only one whoever showed kindness to her. Jean and Tyler both didn’t dare to mess around with her when Rose wasaround, and they always had to be cautious around her, so Sonia had long regarded Rose as herfamily. Sonia didn’t regret the divorce, but it was a pity that she couldn’t do her filial duty by her side.“Sonia, I watched Toby grow up, and I understand his personality. If one day, he wants you back, willyou come back to him?” The old lady was reluctant to let such a good granddaughter-in-law go, andshe naturally hoped that the two would be together in the future. However, Sonia was not a fool—sheknew that only Tina could soften Toby up, not her. Sonia’s lips twitched. “But, Grandma, he doesn’t loveme—I should have realized it six years ago.” Rose also seemed to have realized something as herexpression turned sad and dull. “Grandma, no matter if I am still your granddaughter-in-law or not, I amstill the old Sonia, who will respect you forever.” She stretched out her hand and stroked Rose’s hair

with a smile. “Please always be happy and well, okay? Don’t worry about anything else.” Toby onlystood quietly outside. He knew the kind of relationship Sonia and Rose had. Although he had neverloved Sonia all these years, he couldn’t deny the fact that Sonia treated the old lady very well—noworse than her own children, should they have any. Even if Jean and Tyler were not good to her, shehad been caring for them as well. After learning that Tina’s car accident was caused by Sonia, Tobywas disgusted by her in his heart, but he chose to let her go because she really did treat Rosesincerely. It could be considered his last act of kindness to her. After a long time, the two came out fromthe house. “Sonia, feel free to come see me in the future whenever you feel like it. I’m afraid I only havea few more years to live.” “Don’t say that! You are someone who could live up to a hundred years old,and I promise I will come to see you often.” At this time, Toby stepped forward and offered, “Let medrive you.” Sonia refused directly. “No need for that. Someone will pick me up.” Turning around, shewalked toward the black Maybach that had already arrived. Seeing that it was Charles and Carl, Toby’seyes turned dull. The warm scene of the three talking and laughing was inexplicably hard to watch.Rose coughed a few times and was already panting a little. “I’m old now, and I can’t meddle in youraffairs anymore, but Toby… I hope you don’t regret it one day.” Rose, who had always doted on him,was already extremely disappointed in him and didn’t want to look at him any more. With that, she wentback into the house with the help of the servant. Toby stood alone at the door while his expressionturned cold again. Regret? Never.
