Chapter 791 Toby’s Trap

 

We won’t be getting anywhere like this. His concern is never whether Tyler is his brother or he is still a teenager; instead, Toby’s concern lies in the gender of the person that I’m in touch with—he won’t be happy as long as that person is a man. His possessiveness is pissing me off, but it is hilarious at the same time.

 

Sonia held her forehead helplessly. “Alright, alright. I will try to not pick up his call so often, okay?” Anyway, Tyler would be coming back soon, so she reckoned that he wouldn’t have the chance to call her often since they would be speaking face to face. She wouldn’t say this out loud to Toby, of course.

Upon hearing that Sonia agreed to his request, Toby curled up his thin lips and his mood instantly lifted.

Sonia put down the spoon and said, “Speaking of which, Tyler has become more mature. He even apologized to me just now.”

“Why did he apologize to you all of a sudden?” Her words instantly put a frown between his brows and his expression tensed. “Did he bully you during the call just now?”

Sonia was stunned and she was unable to understand how he arrived at this conclusion. Although it was funny, she felt warm inwardly due to his concern.

“No.” She shook her head. “He apologized for his past behaviors.”

 

Toby’s overreaction subsided a little and he gradually calmed down when he heard that. With his chin slightly lifted, he responded, “That’s something he should do. My mother… I mean Jean, should apologize too, but I’m sorry that I can’t force her to apologize to you. She was the one who raised me, so I’ll bear the responsibility by apologizing to you on her behalf.”

“There’s no need for that.” Sonia waved her hand. “Both of you are different individuals, so you don’t need to bear the responsibility on her behalf. Besides, I’m willing to let this slide for your sake since I don’t need her apology anyway. She doesn’t need to apologize to me since it won’t come from the bottom of her heart even if she does. So, there’s no need for her to do anything. Anyway, I won’t be living under the same roof as her. Let’s just live our own lives and not meddle with each other’s lives.”

Toby chuckled in response. “Of course. I said that the unit at the Skylark Tower will be our future home. Although it is not as huge or luxurious as the Fuller Residence, it’s still sufficient to be a home that belongs to only the two of us. What do you think?”

 

In fact, a smaller house felt more like a home. If the house was too huge, it would sometimes feel empty and cold even if two people who loved each other lived in it.

“I’m fine as long as we don’t live with Jean,” Sonia replied with slightly flushed ears.

Upon seeing that, Toby stroked her hair. “Great. Okay, time to dig in. The food is getting cold.”

Sonia hummed in agreement. The next second, something seemed to cross her mind when she looked at him in concern as she asked, “Have you eaten?”

He nodded. “Yes. I had Tom send me food. I initially wanted to wake you up so that you could join me, but I didn’t after giving it some thought. Hence, I left you some food.”

“Why didn’t you wake me up at that time?” asked Sonia in puzzlement while she ate.

A gleam flashed across Toby’s eyes. He leaned back, the back of his head resting against the couch as he stared at her with a gaze so passionate and intense it was as though he was about to devour her. Then, he flirted with her in a husky voice, “Because I want you to have a good rest so that you won’t be able to fall asleep at night. If you can’t fall asleep, you will have the energy to keep me company tonight.”

In response, Sonia dropped the cutlery in her hand and it landed on the coffee table, making a thud. She was completely flabbergasted.

If you can’t fall asleep, you will have the energy to keep me company tonight. The short sentence kept lingering in her head without any signs of disappearing.

 

She suddenly recalled the promise she had made to him in his office earlier that day, that she would accompany him that night, and coupled with his words earlier…

Boom! At that instant, blood rushed to her head and her whole face turned as red as blood. She glared at the man with her almond eyes that had various emotions flashing across them. In short, Sonia was utterly embarrassed.

 

Never in a million years would she have thought that the reason behind Toby refusing to wake her up and allowing her to continue sleeping was actually this.
