This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Grace nodded. “Yes. That is correct.”

“Impossible!” Sonia shot up and shook her head violently. “There’s no way I’m not my parents’ daughter.” Her face was as white as a sheet.

“What? Babe’s not Mr. and Mrs. Reed’s daughter?” Charles had just come back from giving his father a call when he heard that bombshell of a piece of news. He was stunned for a moment, then he went up to his mother. “Do you know what you’re talking about, mom? There’s no way babe isn’t her parents’ real daughter.”

“Yes, I do, and I wasn’t lying. That’s the truth.” She sighed.

Sonia started trembling. Her face was getting paler and paler, while her eyes lost focus. “That’s impossible. Impossible.”

“Yeah, mom. There’s no way that’s real.” Charles refused to believe it either, and he looked at his mother. “When I told you that Sonia wasn’t the baby I saw the first time, she already suspected she wasn’t her parents’ daughter. That’s why she went to Norfolk to find out the truth. Then I asked you about it, and you told me the baby I saw the first time belonged to the Reeds’ relative, and Sonia’s their real daughter. Why are you saying a different thing now?”

Sonia looked at Grace as well. Her eyes were red, but also filled with hope. “You’re lying, Grace. You’re lying, aren’t you? There’s no way I’m not their kid.”

“I’m sorry, Sonia. I did lie to you, but not this time. I lied back then, back when I told you the baby belonged to the Reeds’ relatives. I didn’t want to make you sad. The truth is that the baby was your parents’ real daughter, but she died when she was five months old, so your father went to adopt you at an orphanage. You were a replacement for the baby, since your mother would have broken down otherwise.”
