This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 552 The Plane Ticket Abroad

Upon hearing Grace’s understanding and emphatic voice, Sonia felt the warmth of her words. “Thank you for not blaming me, Mrs. Lane.”

“What is there to thank me about? You’re not wrong after all.” Grace took a sip of her coffee again. “In fact, all of this is because of me and my husband.”

“Huh?” Sonia was taken aback as she didn’t understand what Grace meant.

Grace massaged her temples. “Charles’ father and I were extremely strict on Charles as a child. We never allowed him to make any decisions for himself, which is why Charles has always lacked the courage to actually do something despite it being related to relationship or work.”

As she spoke, she took another sip of her coffee before sighing. “I was actually thinking, if Charles’ father and I had loosened up a little on him back then and allowed him to make his own decisions, Charles would have been able to summon the courage to confess to you after learning that he has feelings toward you.”

Sonia pursed her lips and remained quiet while Grace looked at her. “Answer me honestly, Sonny. Would you have been with Charles if he had confessed to you back then?”

After being stunned by Grace’s question, it took Sonia a while to return to her senses before she responded, “I don’t know. All I can say is that if Charles had confessed to me before I met Toby, maybe I would have dated him instead.”

After all, Charles and her weren’t the best of friends in the past, so it was possible for her to have developed romantic feelings for him.

Upon hearing Sonia’s answer, Grace shook her head in regret and pity. “As expected, my little boy has really missed his opportunity, huh?”

Just like what Sonia had said, if Charles had confessed to her back then, there was a possibility that they would have dated each other.

However, courage was something he lacked during that time.

“I understand now.” Grace gave a bitter smile. “So, there’s really no chance between you and Charles, is that so?”

Sonia nodded before she hummed in acknowledgement. “Sorry, Mrs. Lane. I really don’t have that kind of feeling toward Charles.”

“It’s alright; I get it.” Grace started to stir her coffee again. “Actually, the reason why I invited you out today is to ask you whether there’s any chance between you and Charles. All I want is to actually get a precise answer from you. If there is a possibility, I will go all out as Charles’ mother and beg for you to give him a chance. However, if it’s impossible, then I will persuade Charles to forgo his feelings since I know that it’ll be a pressure for you.”
