Chapter 817 Too Late for Regrets

Zane was someone from the organization, which was why he would know first-hand how there was no existing law

that mentioned anything about having to escort the criminal out right after court had been adjourned. That had

been something that he had made up on the spot to stop Sonia’s suspicious mind from wandering.

He did notice how the bailiff, as Sonia suspected, seemed to have tried her absolute best to stop Jessica from

revealing information about Sonia’s birth parents.

By right, it didn’t matter whether it was before or after the court session, but the defendant had the right to speak

as long as they hadn’t been restricted by the court.

However, the bailiff had suspiciously stopped Jessica from speaking.

 

The only plausible speculation Zane could come up with was someone had gone to the people of the organization

before the court hearing today, and had specifically mentioned to keep an eye on Jessica in case she blurted out

the truth about Sonia’s birth.

As for who that ‘someone’ was, he could already somewhat make a guess.

There were only a few influential figures in Seafield who could get the organization to help with silencing Jessica,

one of them being his own father and the other the political head of the Coleman Family.

 

However, it didn’t seem plausible for either one of them to interfere with the matters of a woman they didn’t know.

 

There was one more person other than them that had the ability to do this—Toby.

Zane was sure that Toby was the one who had talked the organization into it.

However, why would he do this? Zane wondered quietly. He didn’t understand why Toby wouldn’t let Sonia know

who her birth parents were. Does Sonia’s parents have some kind of secret they can’t let her know?

The lingering question remained in his head all the way to the cafe, where he only snapped back to reality after

Sonia waved in his face.

Seeing that he was gradually coming back to earth again, she put down her hand and asked, “What are you zoning

out for?”

“It is nothing,” Zane replied with a smile before taking a sip of water from the glass in front of him. “What do you

want to drink?”

 

He then put down his glass and passed the menu to Sonia.

She didn’t take the menu, and instead shook her head. Then, she looked at the waiter standing beside their table. “I

don’t need the menu. Black tea with milk, please.”

“Alright.” The waiter took down her order and waited for Zane to place his.

Zane took the menu again and flipped through it for a while before finally ordering an Iced Americano.

After the waiter left to prepare their drinks, Sonia took out the file containing the sperm donors’ information and

gave it a careful read.

“I was super serious when I gathered this list for you. These guys are all highly educated. There are a few that are

from a poor family, but they have good character. I’m sure you will find at least one satisfactory one from the file,”

he confidently said after seeing her scan through the papers.

Sonia’s eyes never stopped looking as she flipped the papers. “Indeed. These guys are great.”

“No, they are the greatest! These kinds of genes are treated like treasure at the sperm banks. Those without a net

worth of at least ten billion aren’t even taken into consideration. I heard that a lot of women abroad want these

genes to give birth to quality babies, but they were all rejected because their worth isn’t high enough. These sperm

banks target rich clients who don’t want to get married, but still need a successor to inherit their legacy.”

Sonia gently closed the file and smiled after hearing his words. “Seems like we will need Jessica to play the role of a

rich woman with a ten billion net worth.”

“It seems so,” he chuckled and took a sip of his cold drink. He then asked, “Oh right, which one do you fancy? I’ll

book the person for you first in case some other rich lady comes along and brings that semen away.”

“Let’s go with the third one,” she concluded as she handed the file back to him. “I’m satisfied with what I have

seen. He must be a smart guy, for him to be a university professor. And it says here that he is an orphan that is

about to pass on soon because of his sickness. This is wonderful. At least the child won’t have any contact with its

father in the future.”

Sonia needed a child, but she wanted one that wouldn’t start searching for its father after asking her how they

came about.

That would end up becoming more troublesome than she liked.

She had seen many similar cases on the news where a lot of children born this way would eventually set off on a

search for their fathers. Some would accept them as their biological father while there were others who went as far

as to connect both families together.

That was why she hoped that the father wouldn’t have any next of kin. She could save herself from a whole lot of

trouble in the future if she had prevented it earlier on.

Zane understood where Sonia was coming from as he listened to her. Having a child this way was equivalent to

buying it, and like any other business transaction, the buyer-seller relationship should only last until the moment the

goods arrived. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Sonia’s plan at all.

Furthermore, anything could happen especially when the rich mother was a member of the Reed Family.

She is right, Zane thought approvingly.

“I like the third one too! I was going to advise you to pick the third one, but I didn’t want your decision to be

affected by my unsolicited opinion. I can’t believe we both like the same one. We are so in sync!” He laughed while

stirring his coffee..

Ignoring his words, Sonia took a sip of her tea and continued, “You can go ahead and bring Tim the sperm sample.

He will get everything else ready. I told him about this a while ago. All we have to do after this is to wait for Jessica’s

discharge, after which we can proceed with the procedure.”

“You have everything planned out!” he exclaimed, his brows wiggling in the process. “I was going to ask you if you

have found a hospital. I would have arranged it for you if you haven’t, but it turns out you already have everything

set up.”

“I have been setting everything in place from the moment I made up my mind to do this. All that is left now is for

the IVF procedure itself, but we will have to wait for at least another 6 months. Jessica is in no condition to be a

mother now.” Sonia sighed.

He looked at her and quickly reassured her then. “Don’t hurry. You can’t rush things like this. Just take your time.”

“Yeah,” she replied. “I got it. Alright, enough of that. How has Douglas been doing lately?” She changed the

conversation by mentioning Zane’s nephew.

Zane’s lips immediately formed a grumpy pout at the kid’s name. “Don’t even talk about him. He is so infuriating.

He made me so angry that I almost had high blood pressure the day before!”

“Why? What happened?” a curious Sonia asked.

He started to tell her about all the mischief that the young boy caused, and by the time he was done with his story,

he had his hands up in resignation while his head was throbbing. “What more can I do? He is at that super annoying

age.”

Sonia covered her mouth and giggled, clearly entertained by the boy’s antics. “Don’t say that. Douglas is such a

cutie pie!”

“To you. Not to me.” He rolled his eyes.

Just as Sonia was about to say something in return, her phone suddenly rang.

She quickly apologized to Zane and took out the phone from her bag, and in the instant that she saw the caller ID,

the smile on her face grew.

Zane could tell from the happiness showing on her face that she had probably received a call from Toby.

All it takes is one phone call from Toby to make you smile like that? You are in so deep, Sonia, he grumbled as

jealousy began to grow. He held his coffee cup tighter, and he let out a self-ridiculing laugh when he started to

reminisce about the past.

Zane regretted not knowing Sonia earlier.

There was a common saying that one can easily move hearts if they had reached out during times the other party

needed help.

If only he had been there to give her warmth during the 6 year she had to endure the Fullers’ cold treatment, he

would have had the chance to be with her after the divorce.

He had found himself wondering about Sonia during the past 6 years. At times, he would question the reason why

she was so loyal to the man even though he hadn’t shown her an ounce of kindness. He didn’t understand why she

chose to stay with Toby.
