Chapter 838 Exceptionally Handsome

Sonia pulled her hand away before sitting down on the couch. “You’re doing it for the company. You’re not cheating on me, so you don’t have to feel sorry for anything. It’s not wrong for you to be too busy to spend time with me once in a while—I’m not the sort of woman who insists on being with you all the time, anyway. I have a company to run myself, and I, too, don’t have time to be with you when I’m busy. Do you think I should feel guilty for that?” she asked.

“No.” Toby shook his head.

“Exactly.” Sonia patted the seat beside her to get Toby to sit down. “As long as you’re not cheating, and as long as you still have feelings for me, you don’t have to feel sorry toward me at all. We’re grown-ups, and both our career and our relationship matter a lot to us. Sometimes, it’s inevitable for someone to neglect the other party due to our work—that doesn’t mean that we’re doing anything wrong. So, you don’t have to think that you owe me anything just because you’re too busy to spend time with me.”

Toby gazed at the woman before his eyes. He knew that she uttered all those words so that he wouldn’t overthink the situation. “Okay. I won’t say that in the future.” He smiled as a surge of warmth filled his chest.

“Let’s eat.” Sonia beamed and leaned forward to look at the lunchbox that he had brought. “What did you bring?”

Toby placed the lunchbox on the coffee table before opening it slowly. “While I was on the way back, I passed by a seafood restaurant that you spoke of in the past. I recall you saying that the restaurant was good, so I brought some of their dishes over,” he explained.

A look of joy and surprise formed on Sonia’s face upon hearing the man’s words. “Really? That’s great. I love seafood, and I miss the feeling of eating spicy seafood. Thank you, Toby.”
