Toby clenched his fists even more tightly. “Why?”

Sonia looked at him weirdly. “Why? This baby’s an accident. I don’t love it, and its father doesn’t want iteither. There’s no reason to keep it around.” Sonia knew it was cruel, but she had to be responsible. It’dbe too cruel for the baby to be born into a broken family where its parents didn’t love it.

Toby asked, “If… If the baby’s father wants it, will you give birth to it then?”

“Huh?” Sonia paused.

Only then did Toby realize he had said too much. She might get suspicious, so he thought up an excuseand said, “It’s nothing. Just asking.”

Sonia didn’t dwell on it and flicked her hair. “Of course not.”

Toby frowned. She won’t do it even if the father wants it?

Sonia knew what he was thinking, so she answered, “Why should I give birth to the child of a man I don’tknow and love?”

Toby couldn’t say anything to that. She didn’t know he was the guy who knocked her up, so there was noreason for her to give birth to the child. Even if she knew he was the father, she’d probably abort thebaby as well. After all, she did say she wouldn’t do it for a man she didn’t love, and he was the man shedidn’t love. The mere thought of that made Toby upset, and he pursed his lips.

All of a sudden, he wanted to ask her why she fell out of love. They had been dating for six years, butshe fell out of love in only a couple of months. Ever since then, he would sometimes suspect that shewas just playing him for a fool, and that she never loved him.

The urge to ask her grew stronger and stronger, but just when he was about to ask, the managersuddenly said, “Parents, please tie the strings. The game shall begin soon.”

Just like that, Toby’s urge to ask was doused, and he glared at the manager angrily.

Sonia noticed him glaring at the manager, and she was confused. Why isn’t he tying the

string? What is he doing? Gosh, he’s so unpredictable. “Give me the string, President Fuller. I’ll do it.”She extended her hand.

Toby retracted his gaze and looked at her. When he saw what she was wearing, he frowned. “I’ll do it.You can’t bend down wearing that.”

He bent down and started tying the string.

Sonia looked down, wondering why she couldn’t bend down. When she saw how revealing her shirt was,she blushed. At the same time, she was surprised that he knew it would be awkward for her to bend overwith that shirt, since she didn’t think of it in the first place. Never knew he’s so meticulous. She looked athim, not knowing what to feel.

Toby felt her gaze, so he looked up. When he realized she was spacing out, he squinted. “What is it?”

“It’s nothing.” Sonia averted her gaze.

Toby was slightly bummed that she didn’t want to talk about it, but he didn’t dwell on it. “It’s done.” Hestood up. “Try moving around and see how it feels.”

Murmuring a reply, Sonia moved her leg as he told her to. Since her leg was tied with Toby’s, she’dinevitably make skin contact with him.

Toby gulped whenever he felt the touch of her skin. “How does it feel?” he asked hoarsely.

Sonia didn’t notice the change in his voice, as she was getting used to the feel on her leg. She nodded.“Yep. It’s fine.”

Once she stopped moving, Toby heaved a subtle sigh of relief. “Hold my waist once the race starts, thenmove the legs that are tied together. I need you to take big strides, understand?”

Sonia knew he was telling her all that to keep her from tripping, so she didn’t object to the idea. “Alright. Iget it.”

Toby said nothing more after she agreed to it. He was worried for a second there that she might say noto holding him, but luckily she knew it was just for the game. If she refused, he’d have to replace anotherway to keep their balance so they wouldn’t fall.

The game started a moment later. After the manager blew the whistle, Sonia and Toby raised their legsthat were tied together first. They managed to leave the starting line, while family number one made amistake from the very beginning.

They didn’t hold each other by the waist, and they didn’t discuss which foot they should raise first. In theend, they started on the wrong foot and fell down before they could take a step. When she saw that,Sonia had to give it to Toby for his planning, or else they might’ve ended up in the same situation.

“Focus.” When he realized she was spacing out again, he pinched her shoulder to snap her out of it.

Since they were still in the competition, Sonia turned back and didn’t look at their competitor again. Afterthat, it was smooth sailing.

But just when they were nearing the finish line, Toby heard a soft creak coming from above. It soundedlike something loosening up, and it worried him. When he looked up, he noticed that the board holdingup the finish line was wobbling.

It was then he realized where the creak was coming from. The screw must be loose. That’s why it’sunstable. What are they doing? Didn’t they check their stuff? Toby stopped all of a sudden. His face fell,and fury surged within him.

Sonia felt him stopping all of a sudden. She wanted to ask him why he wasn’t walking, but then his eyeswidened, and he pounced at her, pulling her into his embrace to roll aside. Crash! Right after they rolledout of the way, the board crashed down right on the spot where they stood a few seconds ago.

Everyone in the restaurant was shocked, especially the manager. He almost had a heart attack, but hestayed calm and went up to them. “Are you alright, sir, madam?” Oh dear. Please let them be alright, orI’m getting fired!

Douglas ran up to Sonia, pale and in tears. Apparently, he was shocked as well. “I’m sorry, Mom. It’s allmy fault. I shouldn’t have asked for the model. I’m sorry, Mom…” He was sobbing and shedding tears ofregret; he thought it was his fault. If he didn’t insist on getting the model, Sonia wouldn’t have gottenherself in trouble.

Sonia was still in a daze, but Douglas’ cries waved her fears away. She turned around and smiled at him.“Don’t cry, Douglas. M… Daddy saved me in time, so we’re fine.”

“Really?” Douglas looked at her with tearful eyes.

Sonia nodded. “Yep.”

Douglas thought she was lying, but when he saw how serious she was, he broke into a smile.

The manager heaved a sigh of relief as well. “Good to hear. Good to hear.”

Sonia turned back to Toby, who was on the ground. “Can you stand up, Toby?” Toby didn’t move, so shecalled out to him again, “Toby?”

Toby finally stirred. He looked up, pale and sweating buckets. “I’m sorry,” he apologized painfully. “I don’tthink I can stand up.”

Sonia was shocked. “What happened? Are you hurt?” He was right on top of her, so she couldn’t see hisinjury. Judging from his current state, however, he was obviously wounded.

He buried his head in her shoulders and grunted weakly. “I can’t move my legs.”
