Chapter 190
“That's right. I found out that Tina is also looking for Rina,” Zane told Sonia.
Raising her brow, she questioned, “What's wrong with that? Isn't that normal? Rina’s her sister afterall, so her looking for Rina isn't unusual at all.”
“No, no, no.” He waved his finger. “She's not looking for Rina because she cares for her sister; shewants to make sure that Rina leaves and never returns to Seafield or appears before the Grays everagain.”
Filled with curiosity, she widened her eyes. “Why?”
Zane curled his lips. “She's probably jealous. Why else? She'll be the heir of the Grays and TriforceEnterprise if she becomes the only child. However, if Rina comes back, she won't have that kind ofpower anymore.”
“I see... So, Rina is a threat to her.” She lifted her chin at the sudden realization.
In response, he snapped his fingers. “Bingo! That's it. Besides, Titus Gray just disbanded an eliteteam. Guess what's the team in charge of?”
“What?” She tilted her head.
Zane explained, “The elite team was specially prepared for Tina. Mr. Gray intends to hold anotherengagement banquet for her and Toby next year. Then, she'll finally be able to join the TriforceEnterprise with the elite team being her subordinates. Yet, it's been disbanded. Can you guess why?”As soon as she heard this, her eyes flickered. “Mr. Gray doesn’t want Tina to take over Triforceanymore.”
"Yes, that's the only plausible explanation to why he disbanded the elite team. I'm guessing thatTina is anxious to replace Rina and get rid of her after replaceing out that Mr. Gray actually wants togroom Rina to be the heir instead,” Zane said as he stroked his chin.
With a sarcastic smile, she noted, “I believe that Tina would do the same even if it had nothing to dowith inheriting the Grays and Triforce Enterprise. Think about it. Rina was separated from her parentsat a young age, so they would definitely give her extra care to make it up to her if she’s found to thepoint that they might overlook Tina. How do you think Tina would feel?”
“That's true.” He nodded in agreement. Then, there was a gleam in his eyes. “Sonia, I just thought ofa good idea.”
This sparked her interest. “What good idea?”
“It's hard to explain over the phone, so let's meet and talk.” He coughed.
Looking at her wristwatch, she realized that it was almost six in the evening. She wanted to turn
him down as the sky was almost dark.
On the other end of the phone, it seemed that Zane had guessed what she would say, so he spokeahead of her. “l won't be free tomorrow as I'll be going abroad, so I can only discuss it with youtoday. Besides, what I'd like to discuss with you is something best not to be delayed. Otherwise, itwould be meaningless.”
Upon hearing this, she bit her lip before finally agreeing to meet. “Alright. Where should we meet?”As soon as she agreed, he squeezed his fists excitedly while trying to remain calm as he spoke,"How about First World Amusement Park?” Going on a date there seems to be a good idea sincegirls like going to places like that, he thought.
“The amusement park?” Her mouth twitched. “Can't we just look for a simple café instead? Why dowe have to meet in a place like that?”
Guilty, he looked away. “My cousins went on a business trip, so they asked me to take care of theirson. He's been pestering me to take him to the amusement park, so... Help me out, please?”Listening to him pleading pitifully, she rubbed between her brows and said, “Fine. Let's meet therethen.”
At once, a victorious smile appeared on his face. “Okay, I'll pick you up.”
“It's alright. It'll be quicker if I drive there myself. Let's meet at the entrance of the amusement park.”She smiled. After agreeing to what he said, she ended the call.
Right after, Zane put down the phone and ran down the stairs to the living room to carry hisnephew who was playing puzzle on the couch, then kissed him. “Come on, Douglas. Uncle Zane'sbringing you to the amusement park!”
With a disdained look, Douglas complained, “I don’t wanna go! What's so fun about amusementparks? I'd rather stay home and play puzzles.”
At that moment, Zane hated Douglas as much as he was pleased with the little boy's peace of mind.Forcefully, he carried the boy out the door. “No, you have to go. Sacrifice yourself for the sake ofyour uncle's happiness.”
“Noo!” he wailed.
Meanwhile, Sonia did not know that Zane had an ulterior motive for asking her to meet. Afterhanging up the phone, she drove to the amusement park straight away. By the time she reached, itwas almost eight at night.
After parking her car, she heard somebody knock on her window as she was unfastening her safetybelt. As she wound down the window, a cute little face appeared in front of her. With a sweet voice,the child greeted her, “Hi, Auntie!”
Stunned, she caressed his cheek and smiled. “Hey, kiddo. You must have mistaken me for
someone else. I'm not your aunt.”
“No, I didn't. You're my aunt!” The little boy held her hand.
Sonia blinked but did not pull her hand away. The main reason was that the little boy looked verycute. She liked how chubby and fair his skin was. Besides, his hand was soft like a piece of sponge. Itwas so comfortable that she was reluctant to let go.
I didn't know little humans could be this cute. Will the child in my belly be as cute as this little guyhere? she wondered while rubbing her belly. Quickly, she removed her hand from her belly. Theworried look in her eyes started to fade away. No. I have to stop thinking about this. Otherwise, shemight change her mind about the abortion.
She closed her eyes to take a deep breath before looking back at the little boy. “Hey, kiddo. Where'syour guardian?”
All of a sudden, a tall figure appeared behind the little boy. “Right here.” He knelt and gave her abright smile.
At that moment, Sonia was slightly surprised. “Zane?”
“Uncle Zane!” The little boy let go of her hand and lifted his head to Zane who was just behind.
As soon as she heard this, she understood immediately. “Oh, he’s your nephew.”
“Yup! Adorable, right?” He carried his nephew up. “He's Douglas.”
She nodded. “He's adorable.”
Hugging Zane's neck, Douglas complimented, “You're really pretty too, Aunt Sonia.”
She squinted at Zane. “Did you tell him to call me that?”
“No, he decided to do so himself because he thought that you were my girlfriend since I asked youout. I tried correcting him, but he’s so stubborn. There's nothing I can do, so I hope you don’t mind,”he explained embarrassingly.
Hearing this, Douglas laughed on the inside. Liar. It was Uncle Zane who asked me to call you that.Douglas would not have taken the fall for this if it was not for the limited edition Transformersaction figure.
Shaking her head, she replied, “It's fine.” Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. Shesmiled gently at Douglas, “I'm not your uncle's girlfriend, so you can't call me Aunt Sonia, okay? Youshould call me Miss Reed.”
“No, I want to call you Aunt Sonia! I want a hug!” Douglas let go of Zane's neck immediately andstretched out his arms for a hug.
Dumbfounded, she grabbed the little boy by his armpits and carried him. Whatever. Call me AuntSonia then. After all, she had nothing to lose being addressed that way.
“Sonia, I think you'd better put him down. You're pregnant,” he advised while glancing at her belly.With a kiss on Douglas’ cheek, she reassured Zane, “It's okay, he’s not heavy at all. I like him.”
As Toby watched from afar, he bit his lip.
