Madam Escaped Again Sir

Toby held her in his embrace. "I don't think he will. You should know that he loved you. He raised you like his own. I don't think someone who loved his daughter would want her to be in pain." "Perhaps." Sonia closed her eyes and leaned in his embrace.

"You should see your father tomorrow," added Toby.

Sonia knew he was talking about Henry, not Titus. "I have the same idea. I have a lot to tell him."

"Then talk to him. I know he won't get mad at you once he understands the situation."

Sonia said nothing more. Perhaps she was asleep.

Toby patted her head, and he said nothing more as well. Silence swooped down upon them, leaving nothing but the sound of their breathing. The night went by quickly, but neither of them could sleep soundly. Sonia had a lot weighing on her mind. Every time she closed her eyes, she would dream. Toby, on the other hand, was worried about her, so he lost sleep. When they woke up the next day, both of them had dark circles under their eyes. They exchanged a look, and then they chuckled. That little chuckle chased away the sadness they felt, lifting their spirits.

Mary emerged from the kitchen. "Time for breakfast."

"Coming." Toby got out of bed and helped Sonia into her clothes.

Amused, Sonia said, "I'm not a doll. I don't need your help. Let me do it."

"No." Toby wouldn't give her the clothes no matter what. He insisted on helping.

Sonia let him. Once she got changed, they washed themselves up and went for breakfast. Halfway through, Toby asked his underling to prepare a car for the trip to the cemetery. Sonia listened in silence. She noticed Toby was making a perfect arrangement. The car aside, he even got some flowers, and it was Henry's favorite white lilies. Alright. That saves my time.

After they had breakfast, they went to the cemetery. On their way there, the nanny who was taking care of Jessica called Sonia.

"Good news, Miss Reed!" the nanny gushed.

Sonia narrowed her eyes. "She's pregnant?"

Sonia was sure Jessica would get pregnant, but anything could happen before the diagnosis came out. Jessica had no intention of getting pregnant at all. She would try to abort the baby. Moreover, the embryo was inserted into her through IVF, so it was fragile and could die easily. Only when the embryo had implanted itself in Jessica's uterus would it be safer. That would take about two months, and only then would the baby be safe. It has been two months since then, so the news should come soon. Thanks to that, she knew what the nanny was going to say.

The nanny nodded. "Yes. The child is safe now. We just have to take care of her as we do regular pregnant women. She's a healthy girl."

"I see. I'm counting on you then. Once the baby is born, I'll be giving you a raise." Sonia smiled.

Happily, the nanny answered, "Don't you worry, Miss Reed. I'll keep a good eye on her and make sure the baby's safe and sound."

"Thanks." Sonia nodded.

The call ended there and then, and Toby asked, "Jessica's baby?"

"Yes. It's in the bag now. Eight months later, the Reeds will have a new member." She put her phone down and smiled happily.

Toby was glad that she was happy.

However, Sonia remembered something, and she looked at him. "Um, after the baby's born, I'll be taking care of it. I won't let it take after its mother. Would... Would you mind?" She wished to take care of her nephew, and the boy would live in the Fuller Residence. He was not Toby's son, and Sonia was worried Toby might refuse.

Toby knew what she was worried about, and he patted her head, smiling. "I don't mind. Jessica might be its mother, but you've been looking forward to it. He's your hope for the Reeds' future. I respect and support your choice. I love you, and that love is extended to everything you care about. Take him in. I will treat him like my own, but the Fuller inheritance will only belong to our child."

He didn't mind providing the child with the best life and education money could offer. He could raise the child into someone capable, but the child would not get any inheritance. One, he was not a part of the Fuller Family. Two, he was Jessica's child, and Jessica used to hurt his wife. It was already kind enough of him to take the boy in. Giving him a part of the inheritance was too much. Jessica would try to get her hands on that money if she found out about it.

Sonia got the message, and she smiled. "Don't worry. I won't give him any chance to get his hands on the inheritance. I will be teaching him his place. He will know that he is the heir to the Reeds, not the Fullers, but I'm sure he'll grow up to be a great man. He can lead the Reeds to greater heights. I know he won't go after things that aren't his."

"Good to hear." Toby nodded, but a hint of cold fury flared deep in his eyes.

If the boy were a grateful soul, then

he would be more than willing to give him some wealth. The inheritance was out of the question, but he would give the boy money and valuables. After all, he would be living under the same roof as Toby for decades. Once the child took over the Reeds, he would help him find his footing and lend him any assistance he needed. However, if the boy took after his mother's ugliest side, then Toby wouldn't mind killing him off. Keeping an ingrate around would be a disaster, after all, but he told none of that to Sonia. She was looking forward to the child. Raising a good successor to the Reeds was a dream of hers. I will be assessing the boy, then.

They arrived at the cemetery a while later. Toby draped a thick coat over her and put a scarf around her neck before he let her out of the car. Sonia was amused. Does he think I can't endure the cold? However, he was just being kind and the weather was indeed chilly, so she took the clothes, put them on, and followed him out of the car.

"Here." Toby handed a bouquet of white lilies to her.

Sonia took it and held it with both her arms. "Dad loved lilies when he was alive because Mom loved them too."

Toby listened to her talking about the past quietly.
