Chapter 138

Although Toby wasn’t thirsty, he somehow nodded and said, “Yeah, sure.”

Sonia replied with an affirmative hum and proceeded to pour him a glass of water, to which he took over.“Thanks.”

“Not at all.” Sonia waved her hand and kept her head down to drink her water. In the meantime,

Toby didn’t take a single sip of water from his glass, but instead fixed his eyes on her without blinking

After finishing the water, Sonia put down the glass and was about to tell the man that she would bereturning to her room just when she heard a growling sound, only to realize it came from Toby’s stomach.Meanwhile, Toby didn’t expect his stomach to growl at that moment as an awkward look appeared on hisglacial face.

Sonia curled her lips slightly upward, trying to keep a straight face as she just witnessed one of Toby’srarest sides.

“Um…” Toby gulped, seemingly wanting to say something.

“What’s the matter?” Sonia looked at him.

“Do you mind making a little something for me to eat?” Toby kept his head down and asked.

Sonia raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “Did you just ask me to make you something to eat?”

“Yeah.” Toby nodded, as he was indeed hungry.

Sonia pursed her lips, replaceing his plea sarcastic. After all, she had learned to cook because she wantedto have his heart in the last six years. However, he never really showed any interest in her, neither did heever cast an eye on her. Therefore, she couldn’t help but replace it laughable now that

Toby asked her to cook for him.

As Sonia didn’t answer his question, Toby felt overwhelmed by a pang of disappointment, his eyesdarkening. However, he hid his feelings and tried to play it cool. “It’s okay. Just forget about

it.”

“I’ll do it.” Sonia looked up and met his gaze.

Toby paused in a trance and met her eyes in surprise. “Do you agree with that?”

Sonia nodded. “Just think of it as a return of favor for shining the way for me. Let’s go to the kitchen.”

Toby smiled and responded with an affirmative hum, whereupon both of them entered the kitchen.

Soon, Sonia opened the refrigerator, only to realize nothing much was left inside besides some

vegetables. Upon a short contemplation, she turned around before she was quickly surprised by Toby,who was standing behind her and looking at the refrigerator with his back bent over. Then, her lipsinevitably came into contact with his lips.

After both of them looked at each other in a trance, Toby was the first of the two to snap out of his tranceand back away. Then, he stood straight and apologized with a deep voice. “I’m sorry.” After all, he didn’tthink she would turn around so suddenly.

Sonia’s face blushed as she covered her mouth and awkwardly replied, “It’s not your fault. I’m the onewho should apologize.” Deep down, she reckoned it was her fault to turn around and put both of them insuch an awkward position.

In that instant, the spacious kitchen was shrouded in a strange silence without a word from either of thembut only the sound of their breathing. A few moments later, Toby puckered his lips and broke the silence.“Were you trying to ask me something?”

Knowing that the man was trying to turn the awkward situation around, Sonia didn’t stay silent any longeras she nodded and said, “I was trying to tell you that there’s nothing much left in the refrigerator. So, doyou mind if I make you some pasta instead?’

Om

“Sure.” Toby agreed.

Sonia proceeded to take whatever was left in the refrigerator and headed to the sink while Toby followedright behind her to shine for her. Not long after that, the pasta was ready, whereupon both of them madetheir way to the dining area.

Then, Sonia placed the pasta on the table and said, “Enjoy.”

“Thanks.” Toby politely expressed his gratitude, his eyes fixed on the steaming and aromatic pasta.

On the other hand, Sonia yawned and wiped the tears that trickled down her cheeks, tiredly urging theman to finish his food. “Alright, hurry up. Walk me back to the third floor when you’re done.”

“Alright.” Toby somehow found Sonia’s impatient look adorable before he pulled out a chair and sat on itto enjoy his pasta. Meanwhile, Sonia sat beside him, propping her head with her arms while waiting forhim to be done.

A few moments later, Sonia began to yawn more and more frequently as she struggled to keep her eyespeeled. At the same time, her head felt heavier and heavier with a sleepy look on her face. When Tobynoticed her reaction, he unknowingly smiled and picked up his pace in finishing his pasta, but before hecould finish it, Sonia eventually gave way to her sleepiness and dozed off on the table.

Toby was stunned by the sight of that before he laughed in amusement. Soon, he calmed himself downand put down his silverware, whereupon he walked closer to Sonia and gently nudged her. “Wake up,Sonia. Let’s get you upstairs.”

At that moment, Sonia was in a dream, in which she found herself caught by a monster. Thus, she

knitted her eyebrows and mumbled in her sleep. “Don’t touch me! Stay away from me!”

Thinking he had woken her up, Toby took his hand off her. A few moments later, he realized Sonia was,in fact, still asleep when she continued to remain still. She must be murmuring in her dream. As hehelplessly rubbed his forehead, he gave up the idea of waking Sonia up. Instead, he decided to carry herin his arms and took her upstairs to her room.

When Toby arrived on the third floor, he immediately spotted the room with the door left open andsurmised that it must be Sonia’s room. Thus, he walked inside while carrying the lady in his arms, barelyreplaceing his way with the dim flashlight from his phone. When he bent over to put her down on the bed,Sonia wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to let go. Unable to stand straight, Toby foundhimself bending over as he said with a deep voice, “Let go, Sonia.”

“Please don’t go,” Sonia suddenly blurted out with a fearful look on her face, which looked like she washaving a bad dream.

While that was the first time he saw Sonia behave like that, he softened up and gently replied, “Alright, I’llstay.”

Having seemingly heard his voice, Sonia seemed to be more relaxed and slowly curled her lips upward.At the same time, Toby fixed his eyes on her lips and recalled the moment they accidentally kissed eachother in the kitchen. Although their lips barely touched each other’s, the soft sensation he felt on her lipswas etched in his mind.

Therefore, Toby looked down and eyed her lips before planting a kiss on them. This feels just like theway I remember. So sofi and sweet! I want more of it! In reality, he did exactly what was on his mind,getting on one knee while holding Sonia’s chin. The moment she opened her mouth, he slipped histongue into it, only to hear her seductive and gentle moan. At that moment, his eyes seemedunfathomable as he kissed her even deeper.

Soon, Toby began to crave more and slid his wandering hands along Sonia’s body. In the meantime, heshifted his lips downward along her neck when Sonia called out a name. “Charles…”

Toby felt as if he had been splashed with a bucket of ice water while snapping out of his fantasy with adarkened look on his face. Then, he took his hands off Sonia and stood up, staring at her with a sinisterglare. How could she call someone else’s name in the middle of our intimacy? Nonetheless, whatfrustrated Toby the most was the touchy-feely behavior that he failed to stop himself from doing to heronce again, which was already the third time. At the thought of that, he unhappily left with a heavy heart.

Sonia turned around and hugged her blanket, mumbling in an unsatisfactory voice. “Charles, don’t takeBucky away from me.”

Later that night, Toby couldn’t fall asleep as he kept dwelling on the inappropriate action he did to Sonia.Why does that ruin my mood so much? I don’t feel like myself right now. Because of that, he woke upwith a tired look the next day, with some faint dark circles around his eyes.

When Tina saw him, she quickly expressed her concern and asked, “What’s wrong, Toby? Did you havea rough night last night?”

Before Toby could answer her, Zane came closer with a glass of beer and said, “Wow, Toby! It looks likeyou had a pretty enjoyable night last night. You should take a look at your dark circles. Don’t worry. I’ll tellthe cook to prepare some oysters to boost your libido. After all, Miss Gray mustn’t be stripped of thehappiness she deserves.”

Tina understood what he was implying as her face blushed in bashfulness. While the lady kept her headdown in embarrassment, Toby knitted his eyebrows and glacially told Zane off. “Get out of my face!”
