Chapter 788 Tyler’s Phone Call

“Yup.” Sonia nodded her head. She felt quite dizzy and weak due to her sleeping for such a long period during the daytime, so she couldn’t even walk in a straight line and seemed to be quite dazed.

As soon as Toby saw that, he couldn’t help frowning and he instantly moved forward to grab her around the shoulders. Subsequently, he took her into his arms and allowed her to lean on him. Then, he lowered his head to look at her as he asked anxiously, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.” Sonia lifted her head to smile at him and responded, “I slept for too long so I’m feeling dizzy, that’s all. I’ll be fine after a quick rest.”

Despite her reassurance, Toby remained quite worried and he lifted his hand to place it on her forehead to make sure that her temperature was fine. He finally trusted her words after confirming that she didn’t have a fever.

“I told you to get up and take a walk in the afternoon, but you insisted on lying down despite my objections.” As he spoke, Toby flicked her on the forehead.

Meanwhile, Sonia pressed a hand on her forehead and smiled. “Alright, alright. It’s my fault. I was just too satisfied with our seafood meal earlier and I ended up quite sleepy after that. I didn’t feel like moving at all. I won’t do that again.”

“Of course not!” At that moment, Toby snorted. “Next time, I’ll make sure to keep an eye on you. Alright, let’s go over to the couch so you can take a rest. We’ll have dinner after that.”

Sonia nodded in response. “Sure.”

And so, Toby slowly escorted her to the couch to take a seat before he poured her a glass of water.

Sonia took a sip of warm water and as soon as the water flowed into her stomach, she felt a warm sensation instantly. Shortly after that, the warm feeling coursed through her whole body and she immediately felt much more comfortable than before.

“By the way, what were you doing squatting over there earlier?” Sonia pointed toward the washing machine while asking.

Suddenly, there was an awkward look that flashed across Toby’s eyes but he responded calmly, “I was doing the washing.”

However, she couldn’t quite comprehend the situation, so she added, “The machine can do the washing, but why did you squat over there?”

Just then, Toby realized that he had to give her a plausible explanation; otherwise, she would definitely persist in interrogating him. As such, he released a slight cough before directly coming up with an answer. “I searched on the internet and found out that the washing machine spins when it’s washing the clothes, but I waited there for quite some time and it didn’t spin at all. Is the machine broken?”

In response, Sonia grimaced. “Are you sure that it’s broken? Could it be that you don’t know how to operate it?”

Instantly, Toby turned silent.

At that moment, Sonia kept her silence too.

After quite some time, she finally covered her lips and smiled. “It looks like you had trouble operating it.”

There was a flash of awkwardness across Toby’s face and in the end, he had no choice but to admit it. “Hmm… Well, I’ve never used a machine like this before.”

“I understand.” Sonia patted him on the shoulder and she didn’t mock him at all.

After all, his clothes were laundered by the servants and some of the more expensive ones were dealt with by the designers personally. Other than that, the rest of it went into the bin, so Toby didn’t have the chance to use something like a washing machine. As such, it was normal for him to have difficulty operating a washing machine.

“I’m sorry. I feel quite useless sometimes.” Toby rubbed the spot in between his brows. I’m useless indeed. I don’t even know such basic life skills.

Sonia stood up with a smile. “You’re not useless. On the contrary, you’re the most useful person. If you’re useless, how did you manage to amass your fortune? The wealthier you are, then obviously there would be plenty of people sorting this out for you. You don’t even need to lift a finger. This is the life everyone yearns for. How can you still replace yourself useless? Besides, other than being great at earning money, you’re able to cook too. Furthermore, you learned how to peel a crab for me. There’s no other man who has as many skills as you do. You’re great at your career out there and you can also handle the house chores at home. You’re awesome!”

Toby’s eyes shone and he flushed red to the tip of his ears when he heard Sonia’s praises.

Then, he gave a slight cough out of shyness and his low voice rang out, “Alright, stop it. You must be hungry by now. I’ll go and get you your dinner in the kitchen.”

After he had said that, he got up and walked past the couch. Then, he hurried off to the kitchen.

Sonia watched his retreating figure and lifted her brows slightly. It’s quite uncommon to see his shy look. He ran off before I could get another look at his face!

At that point, she shook her head with an amused look on her face as she headed toward the washing machine.

He didn’t know how to operate the washing machine, so she wanted to take a closer look to replace out what he did. She was worried that he had broken the machine.

And so, Sonia opened the round door of the washing machine and peered at the clothes inside. Just then, she realized that it was all of her clothes inside and there was none of Toby’s at all. It was the clothes that she had changed out of two nights before and she’d thrown them into the washing machine the previous night. She had intended to wash the clothes but as soon as she heard that he’d been involved in a car accident, she disregarded everything and rushed out of the house without a backward glance. She had completely forgotten that her clothes were in the machine.

In the end, Toby had found out and even made the effort to help her do the washing.

He’s really trying his best to become the resident chef and complete all the house chores. He’s working his way to becoming the perfect man.

Sonia smiled and started to replace out why Toby couldn’t get the machine to spin. In the end, she realized that he had forgotten to turn on the water valve, so there was no water entering the washing machine. Evidently, the washing machine couldn’t function without any water.

Besides the water, he didn’t put in any detergent either.

This silly man! Surely he can’t expect to just place the clothes in and then do nothing after that! Sonia heaved a sigh and turned on the water valve. Then, she poured some detergent into the compartment before finishing off by dusting off her hands. Finally, she went back to take a seat on the couch and turned on the television.

She had just started on a television program when the cell phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

She didn’t bother to take a look at the caller identification and immediately swiped to the right before placing the phone to her ear. “Hello, this is Sonia speaking.”

“Son—no, I mean, sister-in-law!” Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the other end of the phone, and Sonia was significantly startled.

Who’s that? Why did he randomly call me sister-in-law? Sonia frowned and thought that someone must have dialed the wrong number, so she removed the phone from her ear and was about to hang up when she suddenly saw the name Tyler on the screen. Instantly, she was caught by surprise, and soon after that, she grimaced. Oh—it’s Tyler on the line!

He had gone overseas for a tournament and had been away for nearly three months now. Over these two months, he had not been in contact with Sonia at all, and she had rarely heard anyone mention him too.

The outcome was that she had completely forgotten this person and even forgotten his voice too. Actually, she didn’t forget his voice, but Tyler was going through puberty so his voice changed. Before he had left, she remembered that his voice had been quite gruff and it’d been quite grating to the ears.

Now that he had completely gone through puberty, his voice was no longer gruff and grating to the ears, and it was now quite clear and sounded soothing. That was also why it wasn’t Sonia’s fault that she couldn’t identify his voice from the start.

Then, Sonia placed her cell phone back to her ear and pursed her lips while saying, “Stop addressing me randomly. I’m not your sister-in-law!”

On the other end of the line, Tyler had just finished playing in the semi-finals and he was taking a break in the changing room. He was dressed in a loose-fitting basketball shirt and was currently splayed out on a row of seats. There was a towel wrapped around his neck and he wiped the sweat on his face as he spoke to her on the phone. His usually young, handsome face was now much more mature and there was now a resolute look on it. The chubbiness on his face had nearly disappeared now, and what was left was a rough outline of the defined features of a handsome male. Furthermore, the muscles on his arms and thighs were significantly bulged up than before. In any case, he was much more mature.

Just then, Tyler bared his teeth and laughed into the phone. He couldn’t contain the excitement on his face as he countered, “I didn’t address you randomly! You are my sister-in-law. I’ve been told that you’ve reconciled with Toby.”

Meanwhile, Sonia could hear the smugness in Tyler’s voice and she couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “Ha! In the past, when I was his wife, you never addressed me that way before. Now that we’ve gone through a divorce and reconciled, you seem to be full of enthusiasm. Tyler Fuller, you’re quite nosy, aren’t you?”

Obviously, Tyler realized that Sonia was mocking him, but he wasn’t the least bit upset. If this had happened a few months back, he was very prideful back then and definitely wouldn’t be able to tolerate that. He would have surely lost his temper. After all, he had been used to getting his way all the time and there was no way he would have tolerated another person’s mocking words. However, now that Tyler had been through the harsh reality of the current society, he had matured a lot. At the very least, he was no longer as prideful and easily triggered. As such, he merely laughed upon hearing Sonia’s mocking words. “Sister-in-law, are you still mindful of the past? I was foolishly tricked back then. You must have realized that too!”
