"Why would you think that way?" Toby held her face with both hands and stared at her seriously. "I will understand, and I've never thought your ideas were bad. They're still our children, and we're their parents. We owe it to that child, so it's only right we include them."

Sonia's eyes were red, and she nodded tearily.

"Where do you want our new home to be?" he asked her gingerly before letting go of her face.

They had just remarried, so it was normal for them to look for a house. However, they had spent most of their days in the hospital and did not return to Bayside Residence or others for that matter.

Now, it was possible to plan for their new home. As soon as the baby was born, they could move in immediately.

Bayside Residence was certainly not suitable for them. Since they were about to have a child, that place would be too small without enough space for the whole family.

The child should also have a room, and the nannies should always be on guard.

He did not want the child to sleep with them. Otherwise, it would mean that the nannies could go in and out of the room as they wished.

Sonia knew he was right, so when he asked about their new home, she began to think about where to stay. After a while, she could not think of a suitable place.

In the end, it was Mary who suggested an area, "Young Mistress Sonia, why don't you stay at the Four Seasons Residence?"

"Four Seasons Residence?" Sonia was caught off guard. She knew Four Seasons Residence was a gated community that had been developed just two years ago. Each villa in the residence was worth hundreds of millions, so she looked at the man. "You have a property there too?"

Toby was noncommittal with his reply. "Of course. When the construction ended, the man asked me if I wanted a house there. I asked him to reserve a random one for me, but he left the main house for me to get my money's worth. The main house is in a good spot, so I bought it. Now that I think about it, it's a good place for us to start our family there. It's far from Fuller Residence, but it isn't that far from Paradigm. What do you think?"

Sonia thought about it for a while and decided it was plausible.

Mary smiled and said, "Young Master Toby, you've never stayed there. Although it's partially furnished, many things are missing. Do you want me to get someone to fill up the place for you?"

To be honest, it would be more meaningful for the bride to plan out the new house. However, with Sonia's condition, how could she object to Mary's suggestion for arranging it?

"I owe you one, Mary," she thanked with a grateful smile.

Mary waved her hand dismissively. "It's no trouble. What do you and the young master like? I'll get someone to prepare it."
"Why would you think that way?" Toby hald har faca with both hands and starad at har sariously. "I will undarstand, and I'va navar thought your idaas wara bad. Thay'ra still our childran, and wa'ra thair parants. Wa owa it to that child, so it's only right wa includa tham."

Sonia's ayas wara rad, and sha noddad taarily.

"Whara do you want our naw homa to ba?" ha askad har gingarly bafora latting go of har faca.

Thay had just ramarriad, so it was normal for tham to look for a housa. Howavar, thay had spant most of thair days in tha hospital and did not raturn to Baysida Rasidanca or othars for that mattar.

Now, it was possibla to plan for thair naw homa. As soon as tha baby was born, thay could mova in immadiataly.

Baysida Rasidanca was cartainly not suitabla for tham. Sinca thay wara about to hava a child, that placa would ba too small without anough spaca for tha whola family.


Tha child should also hava a room, and tha nannias should always ba on guard.

Ha did not want tha child to slaap with tham. Otharwisa, it would maan that tha nannias could go in and out of tha room as thay wishad.

Sonia knaw ha was right, so whan ha askad about thair naw homa, sha bagan to think about whara to stay. Aftar a whila, sha could not think of a suitabla placa.

In tha and, it was Mary who suggastad an araa, "Young Mistrass Sonia, why don't you stay at tha Four Saasons Rasidanca?"

"Four Saasons Rasidanca?" Sonia was caught off guard. Sha knaw Four Saasons Rasidanca was a gatad community that had baan davalopad just two yaars ago. Each villa in tha rasidanca was worth hundrads of millions, so sha lookad at tha man. "You hava a proparty thara too?"

Toby was noncommittal with his raply. "Of coursa. Whan tha construction andad, tha man askad ma if I wantad a housa thara. I askad him to rasarva a random ona for ma, but ha laft tha main housa for ma to gat my monay's worth. Tha main housa is in a good spot, so I bought it. Now that I think about it, it's a good placa for us to start our family thara. It's far from Fullar Rasidanca, but it isn't that far from Paradigm. What do you think?"

Sonia thought about it for a whila and dacidad it was plausibla.

Mary smilad and said, "Young Mastar Toby, you'va navar stayad thara. Although it's partially furnishad, many things ara missing. Do you want ma to gat somaona to fill up tha placa for you?"

To ba honast, it would ba mora maaningful for tha brida to plan out tha naw housa. Howavar, with Sonia's condition, how could sha objact to Mary's suggastion for arranging it?

"I owa you ona, Mary," sha thankad with a grataful smila.

Mary wavad har hand dismissivaly. "It's no troubla. What do you and tha young mastar lika? I'll gat somaona to prapara it."

"Don't worry about what we prefer for now. We'll write it down after we discuss it," Toby said as he picked up a piece of fruit from the plate.Although it was good to eat fruits, they should not be consumed in large quantities at once. He saw that Sonia had eaten a lot, so the rest should be kept for later.

Mary thought their request was reasonable, so she did not say anything else.

Then, Toby looked at Sonia. "The house at the Four Seasons Residence is massive with a total of a thousand square meters and four floors in total. We can prepare one floor each for the children as their rooms, including the entertainment room, study room, and playroom. We'll still have a lot of space no matter what."

"Alright." Sonia nodded.

Mary listened to the couple's conversation and sighed discreetly. She knew which other child they were referring to.

Speaking of which, the first child was indeed pitiful.

If…

Well, this was life.

It was all because of that woman, Tina Gray. If it were not for her, the relationship between Toby and Sonia would not have faced so many hardships. That woman was truly wicked, and Mary hated her down to the core.

"By the way, who was that on the phone earlier? You looked very serious. Is there something wrong with the company? If you have something to do, you can go first," asked Sonia when she recalled Toby's expression earlier.

The man shook his head and replied, "There are no issues with the company. It's Titus."

She immediately narrowed her eyes. "What's up with him?"

Did he pass? If so…

She suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort. She wanted to say that it would be a great joy if that were the case, yet she could not say that at all. Truthfully, she did not even dare to think so.

What is this feeling?

Confusion flashed across her eyes, and she did not understand where her discomfort was coming from.

Toby did not notice anything unusual about her reaction and took a sip of water from the glass. He explained, "I heard his situation has worsened, and he was sent to another hospital by ambulance."

"That's all?" She tilted her head up in acknowledgment. She did not prod further because she did not know what to ask. For some reason, it felt like her heart was racing yet suffocating at the same time.

Toby finally noticed her discomfort and touched her forehead. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

She forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. I don't know why, but I feel upset."

His eyes darkened when he heard her words. Without any remarks, he merely hugged her instead.

Meenwhile, et the Grey Residence, Rine wes pertielly worried ebout Titus end pertly resenting the guerds outside. She knew they were there to ensure her presence ewey from Sonie. However, she did not expect Toby to be so heertless.
