Chapter 589 Old Mrs Fuller’s Request

Being tactful, Sonia looked at Rose without a word; after all, she was the reason Toby nit-picked all the details.

One moment, he was afraid that she would feel cold, and the next moment, he was scared that Rose would prolong the chat with her and delay her from resting. But none would happen, and he was just worried for nothing.

There was a heater in the pavilion, so Sonia would not feel cold at all. Besides, even if Rose would chat with her for a long time, it would not hold her up from her rest. After all, she was a night owl. However, when faced with Toby’s concern and care, she was slightly amused, paired up with a pinch of gratefulness.

I mean, he won’t bother about the details if he doesn’t care.

“What are you thinking about, Sonia? Why are you giggling?” Rose asked with a gleam in her eyes as she stared at a smiling Sonia.

There was a flash in Sonia’s eyes before she came back to her senses. “N-No… It’s nothing, Grandma. Now that Toby’s gone, what is it that you wish to talk to me about?” She waved her hand.

Upon hearing Sonia’s words, Rose retracted the gentleness on her face and became serious. Registering Rose’s change, Sonia subconsciously sat straight and put on a serious expression too. “Grandma, what is it? Did something happen?”

“Well, that’s not entirely it.” Rose shook her head. “It’s just that it will be Toby’s biological mother’s death anniversary in a few days.”

“Death anniversary?”

“Yes, my dear.” Rose sighed. “This is what I wished to tell you. I asked Toby to bring you over in hopes that you could do me a favor.”

“Do tell, Grandma. Please. I’ll definitely help you if it’s within my capability,” Sonia said, her tone sounding serious.

Rose smiled in relief. “Then, Sonia, I shall thank you first. You’re definitely capable of helping me. I would like you to accompany Toby for the whole day on the day of his biological mother’s death anniversary.”

“This… Is there a plausible explanation for this?” Sonia tilted her head, feeling confused at Rose’s words.
