Chapter 1453 Grew Up Together

"There are some clothes in here that aren't meant for pregnant women. Your grandmother made them for me, but because of my health issues, I had been focusing on my recovery and gained some weight, so I can't fit into them anymore. That's why I kept them until now, and I've brought them over for you to try on. You're slimmer than me, and even after you have a baby in the future, you'll quickly get back in shape and be able to wear them," Julia explained, and then joined Mary in encouraging Sonia to try them on.

"Give it a try, you'll look beautiful in them," they both said.

At this moment, Julia was grateful that she never wore these clothes, or else she wouldn't know what to give her daughter. Sonia was tempted by the clothes but hesitated because they were Julia's.

In the end, Mary saw her dilemma and took her hand, supporting her off the bed. "Young Mistress Sonia, give it a try. They're just clothes, and they were made by your grandmother," Mary said.

"Yes, Sonny, give them a try," Julia added, her eyes full of encouragement. She really hoped her daughter would accept these clothes.

When she was pregnant with Sonia, she promised to give her daughter all the best things in life. But when Henry took her daughter away, all her dreams were shattered. She was over 20 years late in fulfilling her promise, so now she wanted to give her daughter the best and most valuable things she had. Naturally, she hoped her daughter would accept everything.

"Young Mistress Sonia, give it a try," Mary urged and handed a dress to Sonia.

Sonia looked at it, then at Mary and Julia who were waiting expectantly. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of the clothes and their encouragement, so she nodded and agreed.


"Great!" Mary exclaimed happily, and Julia's eyes welled up with emotion.

"Do you need my help, Sonny?" Julia asked as she watched Sonia go into the room to change.

Sonia shook her head. "No, I can do it myself."

Julia felt disappointed but didn't insist. Her daughter was willing to try on the clothes, and that was already good enough.

Sonia went into the room to change while Mary and Julia waited outside. Mary touched the beautiful clothes and sighed. "Pauline was so talented with her skill."

"Yes, she was very skilled at this. If she were still alive, I think she would have made clothes for Sonny and even her wedding dress," Julia said with a smile. "When I was pregnant with Sonny, she said that if she could live to be a hundred, she would personally embroider a traditional wedding dress for her granddaughter. She was a typical old-fashioned woman and disliked modern-style dresses. When I married Titus in a modern-style wedding dress, she didn't like it at all."

Julia shook her head and chuckled. "It's a pity she passed away so early. Otherwise, Sonny could have met her. She loved Sonny so much."

"Before we knew that Tina was adopted by you, we heard that Pauline didn't like this granddaughter of hers and even moved out of the Gray Residence because of that. Everyone said that Pauline favored boys and didn’t like girls, so she only liked grandsons and not granddaughters. Now we know that it wasn't the case at all." Mary finished sorting the clothes.

Julia joined in to help. "She only likes her biological granddaughter, and Tina was adopted by Titus because of my illness. Understandably, she doesn't like Tina, but now Titus and I really regret adopting Tina."

"From your perspective, you had just lost a child and were sick, and Titus adopted a child for your sake. Your actions were not wrong, but you didn't raise the child well." Mary's expression became much colder.

Julia understood what she meant and nodded with a bitter smile. "I know. That's why Titus and I have been regretting and blaming ourselves lately, especially Titus. His mental state is worsening. Last night, I heard him apologizing to someone in his dream. Although I didn't hear the name, I knew he was apologizing to Henry."

Inside the room, Sonia could clearly hear their conversation since they didn't deliberately lower their voices. When she heard Julia say that Titus was apologizing to Henry, Sonia's emotions instantly became agitated. She wanted to rush out and tell Julia that apologizing now was useless since Henry was already dead. Apologizing now would only seem hypocritical, wouldn't it?
