Chapter 800 The Rival’s Confrontation

 

Toby hummed earnestly in response as he replied, “I got it, and I’m drinking it right now.” As he said this, he took up a spoonful of soup and slurped it loudly. “Hear that?”

Sonia laughed and nodded. “Yes, I heard it. How is it? I stewed it for ages just to get the flavor right.”

“It’s delicious,” he answered with a firm nod. Then, his brows drew together as he added, “Tom was here too, and he wanted to give a taste after he saw how good it looked. He even asked me if I could spare him some.”

“Oh?” She raised a brow in amusement. Sonia then laughed and said, “If he truly thinks that way, then I must have displayed exemplary culinary skills.”

“I didn’t let him try it, though,” Toby said huffily on the other line. “You made the soup for me, and it’s mine—all mine! No one else gets to have it.”

Upon hearing his stubborn tone, Sonia couldn’t help being entertained. “That’s a little selfish of you, isn’t it?”

“Not at all.” He shook his head slightly. “I’m just trying to protect what’s mine, so how is that selfish? Besides, you said you made the soup for me. It wouldn’t seem right to let someone else have it too.”

 

“That’s true,” she agreed with a nod. She was admittedly gratified to hear how defensive he was over something she gave him. After all, it wasn’t a pleasant feeling to know that the gift one gave a person was passed on to another. It’s a good thing to see him appreciate the soup so much, she thought with a smile.

Just then, she remembered something and said, “By the way, Anya apologized to me today.”

Toby stopped drinking his soup when he heard this, but quickly regained composure as he nodded. “Well, as long as she apologizes.”

 

He had thought about getting someone to give her a reminder if she didn’t apologize to Sonia in the next two days. After he swallowed his soup, he then asked, “What was she like when she apologized?”

He had been too busy today to follow up on these things, much less even hear about it.

Sonia sputtered as she said, “What was she like, you ask? Disgusting.”
