The sound of Toby’s footsteps sounded as if he was stepping on Tina’s contracting heart, filling it with fear and panicking her. At the same time, she subconsciously stepped back, her lips trembling in silence.

Seeing her reaction, Toby couldn’t help but feel disgusted with it. “What’s wrong? The cat got your tongue? Let me answer the question for you. That’s because you never lived in Marina City; you never kept a pet dog, and neither did you ever have a stepmother and sister. So, tell me now. Do you still insist that you are Maple?”

At that moment, a loud thump was heard when Tina collapsed onto the ground with a blank gaze on her face. In the meantime, Toby only fixed his eyes on her, immediately knowing what her gesture meant because she could no longer cover up her wrongdoings.

Nonetheless, she quickly dismissed it as a reason that he fell in love with Tina at first sight. Furthermore, their young age served to convince Julia even more that both of them were just a young couple who desperately sought some unforgettable romance. However, now that the truth had been uncovered, she was shocked to discover that it was her daughter who had been scheming to take

 

Julia cast a strange gaze on Tina, who guiltily looked away before the latter stood up and seized Toby’s arm in a tearful manner. “I’m sorry, Toby. This is all my fault. I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have posed as Sonia, but I just couldn’t help it because—I love you!” Knowing she could never get away with the fact that her scheme was exposed, Tina decisively apologized to Toby and begged for forgiveness.

Meanwhile, Toby felt a stab of pain in his heart when he saw her tears, but it wasn’t because he felt sympathetic toward her, but because the same thing that happened at the restaurant the last time was now happening again.
