This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1404

Chapter 1404Chapter 1404
Sonia's eyes flickered. "Are you referring to their love for me?"
Charles nodded. "That's right. Although the Grays are unscrupulous people, no one can deny their love
for their children. They're famous for doting on their children, and their unconditional love is partly
responsible for the way Tina turned out. Even though their love resulted in raising an immoral person
like Tina, they can't be faulted for loving their child. And, compared to Tina, the one they love the most
is still you."
Sonia lowered her eyes.
Charles continued, "Because you're their biological daughter, they didn't suspect Taylor when she
pretended to be you and reunited with the Grays. They showered her with even more love than they
showed Tina. It proves that they truly love you, their only biological daughter. It's just that they didn't
know you're the real Rina, so that's why they gave all their love to Taylor instead. Deep down inside,
you know full well that the person they love isn't Taylor, but Rina, whom Taylor is pretending to be. In
fact, you know full well that if you stood in front of them and told them that you're Rina, their love for
Taylor would go to you instead. This love they have for their daughter is also the reason why you can't
hate them as much."
"You're right," Sonia admitted with a bitter smile. "If they had shown no regard for Rina and hadn't
treated Taylor that well, I wouldn't have broken down over the knowledge of my true identity. My hatred
for them wouldn't have diminished. I could've even convinced myself that I'm not their daughter and
that they had merely given me a shell to live in. If they didn't love me, then I wouldn't have to hesitate
when it comes to taking my revenge. Yet, they love Rina so deeply. I'm sure that if they found out I'mtheir daughter, they would still be able to love me unconditionally."
The knowledge of this was Sonia's greatest burden.
If the Grays showed no affection for Rina, then even if Sonia found out that she was their biological
daughter, she wouldn't feel the need to stop her plan for revenge. She would be able to carry on
without a care in the world and act as if she wasn't their daughter.
Even if others criticize her for being cruel and heartless when the deed was done, she wouldn't be
affected.
In a scenario like that, she would know full well that Henry and the Reeds were the most important
people to her. The Grays wouldn't have given her anything, apart from a body to live in. Furthermore,
the daughter they raised stole her husband and nearly took her life several times. It meant that she'd
repaid them enough for the life they'd given her.
Thus, even if it resulted in her being scorned by others, she wouldn't hesitate at all when it came time
for her to take revenge. She would simply view them as the enemy that so happened to be related by
blood to her.
Yet, in reality, the Grays loved Rina dearly. Even if they knew that their enemies had raised Rina, they
would still love her.
It was all because she was their only biological child.
Therefore, it was the Grays' love for Rina that flustered her, scared her, and made her feel at a lossover what she should do.
She didn't know whether she should be taking revenge anymore.
If she didn't, then she felt as if she was betraying the Reeds who had raised her for over two decades,
and her father who loved her.
However, if she did, then it meant she would be delivering her biological parents who love her so much
to the hands of the executioner. No one was able to do that unless they had a heart of stone.
What was she supposed to do now?
"It's alright, Sonny." Charles poured a glass of water. "Have some water first."
Sonia accepted the glass from him.
Charles sat down again. "Apart from visiting you, I also came in to put in a good word for Toby. I don't
want to press you on how you're going to deal with the situation between you and Titus because you
probably don't have an answer yet, so I won't ask about it. Do you resent Toby right now?"
Sonia pursed her lips. "He knew about my identity a long time ago, but he chose to hide it from me. He
even helped Taylor. I feel…"
"Does it feel like he betrayed you by helping another woman?"
Sonia shook her head. "That's not it. I know he wouldn't betray me. I'm just upset that he helped
another woman, and that woman's my enemy. I can't accept it." "You're just being stubborn, you know." Charles shrugged. "Toby's not the only one who knows your
real identity."
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook"What?" Sonia was stunned. "He's not the only one?"
"That's right," Charles confirmed. "My mother knows too, along with Toby's grandma."
"Mrs. Lane… knows about it too?"
"That's right, but my mother hid this from you as well. Are you going to resent her for it too?"
Sonia didn't know what to say to that.
He stroked her head. "Sonny, I know you're upset because Toby hid such a significant matter from you,
but why don't you think about the reason why he chose to hide it from you?"
"He said he did it for my sake."
"Exactly. He did it for your sake, and not just him either. Both my mother and Toby's grandma chose not
to tell you for your own good. If I'd known about it earlier, I would've done the same. It's because we all
understand you well. We know how the Grays feel about their biological daughter, and we know that if
you find out about your real identity, you probably won't be able to bring yourself to take revenge, but
you can't avoid avenging your father and the Reeds. You'd end up caught between both sides and
wouldn't know what to do. It'd only fester inside you and make you depressed. You might even choose
to take your own life to avoid confronting the situation." Sonia's eyes shook. "W-Why would I do such a thing?"
She voiced her disbelief.
However, Charles simply looked at her. "Are you sure you wouldn't?"
Sonia couldn't reply. A voice inside her was telling her that what he said was true.
Under those circumstances, there was a chance that she might have done just that.
Sonia buried her face in her hands. "I never thought about that. I—"
"It's okay." Charles patted her on the back. "Now that you know you might've gone to that extreme, I
hope you can recognize that and stop things from getting that far. The world's full of people who care
about you. All of us would be devastated if we lost you. Most importantly, there's nothing in this world
that cannot be solved. Although you're in this predicament right now, I'm sure there's still a way to deal
with both your relationship with the Grays and the grievances between the Grays and the Reeds. It's
just that we haven't found it yet. It doesn't mean we never will. That's why you have to keep a cool
head. That's the only way we can find a solution."
Sonia's throat constricted. "I know."
She had already realized that she might do something extreme if she became too depressed, so she
was definitely going to find a way to work through her negative emotions.
"Since you know this now, Sonny, do you still resent Toby?" Charles asked. "You know that I despise
Toby, so why am I taking his side now? It's because I know what he did wasn't wrong, and that youshouldn't be resenting him for it."
"Just let me think things through myself." Sonia closed her eyes. "I still feel upset about it. Even if I
know that he was doing it for my sake, it doesn't mean I can get over it right away. I need some time,
but don't worry. It won't take very long."
Charles thought she had a point, so he nodded in agreement. "Alright. Take your time to think things
through. I hope you reconcile with him soon. I'll get going now."
"Okay." Sonia nodded.
