"What's there to ask about?" Toby muttered with a displeased look. Swiping the button on the phone screen with his thumb, he answered the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, Charles' loud voice sounded. "Sonny, here I am wondering why you are remarrying Toby, that son of a b*tch, when you have yet to take revenge. So, he has impregnated you!"
Son of a b*tch?! The veins on Toby's temple didn't stop throbbing even after a few moments. In the end, he gave up on suppressing his anger and scolded in a cold voice, "Are you courting death, Charles?"
Charles, who was on the other end of the phone, jumped up in shock. "F*ck! Toby, why is it you? Where's Sonny?" Darn it! It's Toby who answered the phone! Does this mean those things I said just now…
Thinking of this, Charles gasped and got into panic mode. I'm screwed! Toby caught me insulting him! He must be holding a grudge against me now.
"I don't know!" Toby could not be bothered to answer Charles, and he most certainly didn't want him to talk to Sonia. Hence, he immediately hung up the phone after brushing Charles off indifferently.
Looking at the gloom written on the man's handsome face, Sonia covered her lips amusingly. "Now, now, let's not get angry. That's just how Charles is."
"This b*stard actually insulted me! Did you hear what he yelled on the phone?" Toby put down the phone and looked at her in indignation.
Sonia nodded. "Yeah." Not only did I hear it just now, but I also heard it quite often. Every time Charles mentioned Toby in the past, he would either call him a 'son of a b*tch' or 'that b*stard,' so she was not surprised at all that Charles would insult Toby like that on the phone just now.
"Don't take Charles' calls from now on. Just hang up if you see it's a call from him. I fear he will be a bad influence on our child." Toby pursed his lips and said coldly.
Sonia was amused. "What does the baby know? It is only the size of a bean now."
"I don't care. According to the books, a child's education should start from preborn, which is when the baby is still in the womb. It's called prenatal education." Toby looked at her belly and explained in general in a philosophical demeanor.
Sonia hummed and asked, "And?"
"Hence, regardless of how young our child is, as parents, we should be on our best behavior. We can't let our child learn all the bad habits when it's in your womb," Toby elaborated with a straight face.
Sonia found Toby's statement to be both amusing and speechless. "Alright then."
As she spoke, she stroked her belly. Her voice was gentle as she went on to say, "Baby, did you hear that? Your father loves you so much that he stresses your education starting now."
"This is our child. Of course, I love the child." Toby also looked at her belly with his eyes full of pride.
Something eventually crossed his mind, and he added, "But don't you worry, Darling. My love for our child will not surpass my love for you. You are the most precious and the one I love the most in my heart."
Sonia couldn't hold herself and burst into laughter. "Why do you make it sound like I will get jealous of my own child?"
"I know you won't." Toby shook his head. "I just want you to know that you're the one I care about the most, and not even our child can surpass your importance in my heart."
"I'm so happy to hear you say that." Sonia leaned in his arms and said with a smile. It's true that I love my child, but which person on earth doesn't wish to be the most special one in their partner's heart? I, too, wish for the same.
While the two were chatting, Sonia's phone rang again.
Once again, Toby frowned. He looked at Sonia with accusing eyes, obviously complaining about why many people were so calling her up.
Sonia spread her hands, indicating that she, too, had no idea. Oh, so he's blaming me for being social now? Besides, if it wasn't for the fact that others were afraid of him, he probably would have received a whole lot more phone calls than me the moment they found out that he was going to be a father.
Toby sighed and took Sonia's phone in resignation.
However, his face once again turned somber as soon as he saw the caller ID.
Sensing the man's displeased aura, Sonia turned her head curiously to take a look at the caller. The moment she saw the caller ID shown on the phone screen, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out to be a call from Zane.
For Toby, the phone call would upset him as long as it was from a man, regardless of who.
Toby knew very well that the happier he and Sonia were, the more miserable Lynette would be.
For that reason, whenever they had some good news, the people Toby assigned would immediately inform Lynette about it. Once Lynette learned about it, she would have an emotional breakdown and yell like a mad person.
This was Toby's punishment for Lynette for almost murdering Sonia.
Last time, Lynette flipped out in the detention center when she learned that Toby remarried Sonia.
This time was no exception either.
Although Lynette was evil, her love for Toby was genuine too.
Sure enough, she couldn't accept that the man she loved so much got married to another woman and even had a child with the woman.
Therefore, it was natural for her to flip out and make a big fuss in the detention center after she heard the news. After all that though, she would get locked up in solitary confinement.
She had been locked up in solitary confinement plenty of times in these two months alone, and the reason every time she got locked up here was the same. It was hearing about the loving stories between Sonia and Toby.
Now, even she felt like she was about to go insane.
Such life was too painful and too tormenting for her.
Still, she had no choice but to go on with this life, for she wasn't ready to die yet.
Nevertheless, she still had to accept her fate even if she wasn't ready to die, for she would soon receive her second trial, which was also the final trial.
