Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 445

"Jean was indeed the homewrecker of my family," Toby said as he rubbed his brow.

Sonia's eyes widened, "What? She really is?"

"Yeah."

"Then why do you still treat her so—"

"She was not a homewrecker in the conventional sense and did not destroy my parents' relationship. My parents did not love each other. Their marriage was a business one, and it was only out of responsibility that they gave birth to me. After I was born, my parents separated, and after that, my father met Jean and fell in love with her." Toby leaned back and rested on the stone wall.

Sonia nodded in a dazed manner. "I see." His parents actually did not love each other. This is my first time hearing this.

"What about after that? When your father was with Jean, wasn't your mother angry?" Sonia looked at him and asked again. Even if his mother didn't love his father, that man was still her husband. Especially when you’re his legal wife, it’s impossible not to care if your husband has a mistress, right?

However, Toby shook his head. "She was not angry. My mother was happy to see my father fall in love with Jean."

"What?" The corners of Sonia's mouth twitched. Happy to see that? Was his mother that tolerant?

"Surprised, huh?" Toby looked at her and smiled a little.

Sonia nodded. "Indeed. If it were me, I certainly would not be so generous."

Hearing these words, Toby suddenly remembered that four months ago, he had proposed to have her move out and give the place to Tina. No wonder that during the six years of loveless marriage, she had never even mentioned divorce, but she had immediately proposed it

when he was about to bring Tina home.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Toby suddenly looking dazed, Sonia reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes. Toby's eyes flickered vaguely before he came back to his senses. "Nothing."

Seeing that he was not willing to speak, she did not ask more questions and switched back to the topic earlier.

“By the way, why was your mother happy to see that? Although they did not love each other, the fact that your father loved Jean meant that your mother’s position as Mrs. Fuller was threatened.” Sonia spoke as she sat cross-legged.

Toby took another bite of the cookie. "My mother had always wanted to leave the Fuller Family. As long as my father and Jean get married, she could divorce my father. This was her dream, so she was very grateful to Jean. In order to get my father and Jean to get married, she even intended to go to my grandmother to say some good things about Jean." "And then what?" Sonia leaned forward, propped her elbows on her thighs and her chin on her hands, then just looked at him with the look of a listener. That said, it also seemed like she had never, ever spoken to him so calmly.

"Then, just the night before my mother went to my grandmother, she committed suicide because of something." When Toby said this, his hand holding the cookie tightened up fiercely and caused the plastic packaging to crumple with an ear-splitting sound.

Sonia was so shocked that her mouth fell open. "Committed suicide?"

Ever since she learned that Jean was not his birth mother, she guessed that his birth mother was no longer around. However, it never occurred to her that it was actually a suicide.
