Julia quickly urged.
At Julia's urging, Titus' hands shook. He couldn't grip the phone properly, but he still wanted to answer the phone quickly. So, he stretched out his hands to take the phone and put it to his ear. "Hello?"
"It's me," said Toby.
Titus' eyes dimmed when he heard his voice.
Julia had a similar reaction.
However, Titus was still rational. He quickly regained his composure and asked, "I know you are calling about what we talked about yesterday, right?"
On the other end of the phone, Toby looked down at his wife, unable to discern her expression. He lightly lifted his chin and replied, "Yes, I'm calling to tell you that my wife has agreed to meet with you."
At this, Julia immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears of joy. "Sonny agreed to see us. Titus, did you hear that? Sonny agreed. We… We can see her now… Sob…"
Although Titus didn't say anything, his usually dull eyes turned red with traces of tears in them. "Yes, I did. I heard it."
Titus' trembling voice couldn't conceal his joy and excitement.
After hearing their reaction on the other end of the phone, the usually composed and unemotional Sonia couldn't help but tightly bite her lip. She felt an indescribable sense of envy, fullness, and sweetness in her heart.
Even Toby couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking about how it was all a cruel joke of fate. If Titus hadn't been so bad, if Henry hadn't stolen the child, Sonia would have received as much love from the Gray Family as she had from her own.
Though there was no use thinking about it anymore since all of this was already in the past.
"President Fuller, when will S-Sonny come to see us?" Titus also followed Julia in addressing Sonia this way.
It was his first time calling her nickname, so there was inevitably some awkwardness and discomfort.
Toby looked at Sonia.
Her gaze fell on her phone, and finally, she said slowly, "Tomorrow."
Titus and Julia heard it.
Julia got too excited and simply took over the phone. "Okay, okay. Tomorrow, then. Sonny, you…"
She was about to ask about Sonia's current situation and her health. But before she could finish her sentence, she realized there was no sound on the other end of the phone.
She quickly checked the phone and realized the call had already been hung up.
Julia put down the phone in disappointment. "They hung up…"
"It's okay." Titus held her hand and comforted her. "The child is not used to us yet, and she still can't let go of those things in her heart. It's normal for her not to talk to us. She doesn't know what to say and hanging up also avoids awkwardness. When we meet tomorrow, we will have the chance to talk about many things."
Encouraged by his words, she nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's better to talk face to face, which is more sincere than over the phone. I'm very happy that Sonny finally agreed to meet us. I thought she would never agree."
"Yes, if that child can come to terms with this, I'm already satisfied." Titus nodded.
Now, he had finally found his biological daughter, and Julia began to express all of her maternal love for Sonia. When she was pregnant with their daughter, she promised to cook for her, braid her hair, and buy her clothes.
But she never fulfilled those promises for Tina and Taylor after Sonia was stolen. Now, she finally brought up those promises again. The reason was her real daughter was back.
Finally, he saw the happy look on Julia's face again. It was the very same look she had when she first got pregnant with their daughter.
How wonderful.
Titus closed his eyes and smiled happily, but his smile disappeared after a while. Then, he took his phone and made another call. "It's me."
His assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yes, President Gray."
"Go to my villa and bring me the safe from my study," Titus instructed as he massaged his temples.
"The safe?" The assistant was a little confused.
Titus nodded. "Stop asking so many questions. Just do it."
"Okay." The assistant nodded and hung up the phone.
Titus put down his phone and sighed.
It's time to end everything.
