Chapter 553 Daphne’s Decision

Sonia nodded as she didn’t want to keep it a secret from him. “Yes.”

Charles’ face immediately darkened. “What did she tell you?”

“Mrs. Lane didn’t really tell me anything besides our current situation,” she answered as she glanced at him.

However, he clenched his fists. “Who is she to poke her nose in my issues?”

Upon noticing how displeased Charles was at Grace’s intervention, Sonia frowned. “Charles, Mrs. Lane only did that for us.”

“I don’t need her help!” Charles looked like he was extremely exasperated as his face reddened.

“Charles—”

“Enough!” He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his temper before he asked calmly, “That’s enough, bab—no, is it alright if I address you as Sonny instead?”

When she heard Charles’ new nickname for her, Sonia grinned before nodding. “Of course.”

When he received Sonia’s approval, Charles’ expression improved. “I’m sorry. I know I have probably scared you earlier. It’s just that I suddenly received a call from my mom just now and she told me that she had a talk with you. She also wanted me to let go of my feelings for you, so I came to look for you because I’m worried that she might have said something mean to you.”

She nodded in realization. “I see. However, you’re worrying too much. Mrs. Lane was gentle with me and she didn’t say anything mean at all.”

“Thank goodness.” He sighed in relief.

For the past two days, he had been in a bad mood and isolated himself while drinking in his room. He only had himself to blame for being down in the dumps, so when he heard that Grace had looked for Sonia, he was afraid that she would blame Sonia for what had happened to him.

Fortunately, Grace was a rational person.

“Charles.” Sonia rose from her seat. “Are you annoyed that Mrs. Lane intervened in our matter?”

Upon hearing that, Charles’ expression slightly darkened. “Just a little, but it’s alright.”
