Chapter 624 Let Me Hug You for a While

As she reached out to take the blow-dryer, Sonia concurred, “That’s what I’m thinking as well.”

“Alright, dry your hair before you get some rest then. Don’t catch a cold,” Toby exhorted.

After acknowledging his words with a hum, she stood up and stepped aside to dry her hair.

As she did so, he rested his head on his hand and watched her, never looking away for a second.

Now that she was unnerved by his stare, Sonia paused in her movements and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”

“Because you’re good-looking,” Toby answered earnestly as he sat up straight.

His unexpected compliment made her blush. “What a strange one you are.”

With that, she turned away to ignore him before he could say anything lewder.

All of a sudden, he stood up and walked to her.

As he stood behind her, he raised a hand and caught hold of the blow-dryer in her hand.

Once again, Sonia froze. “What are you doing?”

“Let me help you dry your hair.” With that, Toby pulled the blow-dryer from her grip.

She immediately turned around with an outstretched arm as she intended to snatch the blow-dryer back. “There’s no need. I can do something like this by myself.”

“It’s okay. You helped me to dry my hair earlier in the afternoon, so it’s only fair for me to help you blow dry your hair.”

After saying that, he pressed on the button for hot air, which caused the blow-dryer to whir again and leaving her with no opportunity to refuse.

Noting Toby’s insistence and not knowing what else to do, Sonia turned around and allowed him to do as he pleased.

Now that he stood behind her, he was a head taller than her. Thus, it was extremely easy for him to dry her hair. Even if he currently had only one functional arm, he could complete the task in a breeze.

Both of them remained silent as he helped her, and for a period of time, the noise of the blow-dryer was the only sound in the spacious living room.
