Chapter 973

"I didn't know it at first." He placed some dishes on her plate and went on, "When Zane came to discuss a government project with me, he received a gift from Rina about halfway through, and that day happened to be White Day. While opening the gift, he told me awkwardly that it wasn't the first time he'd received Rina's gift. She had done it several times before, even on ordinary days, and she frequently finds opportunities to meet him. It's easy to understand where she's coming from."

"Wow..." Sonia was taken aback and took a deep breath. "I had no idea about this at all."

"We had not yet reconciled at that point in time. And because this isn't about us, I didn't tell you anything else after that," Toby responded while raising his head.

When Sonia heard that, she fell silent, unsure what to say. She wasn't sure if she should feel sorry for Zane for being adored by Rina.

On the other hand, she found it amusing too.

"From what you've said, she's been in love with him for a long time." Sonia then had the food that Toby had placed on her plate earlier.

Toby sipped his red wine and replied, "That should be the case. Rina had taken the DNAtest with Julia about two weeks before White Day, and she had been trying to meet Zane at random even before that. So I'm guessing she had a crush on him not long after they met."

"Would it be when they were constantly in contact with each other?"

Toby's action was halted by her words. "Do you know about it?" he asked, looking at her.

She nodded to that. "As you know, we wanted Rina to be our insider in the Gray Family, so we needed her to go through some training to learn more about them. Zane was in charge of training her. They saw each other almost every day during the training. It is very likely for her to fall in love with him after all those days together. Frankly speaking, Rina had never had the opportunity to meet outstanding guys like Zane before she met us, and once she saw him, she was naturally tempted."

"That should be it," Toby said, raising his chin.
