Chapter 421 All Over the Face

Toby? Sonia frowned. What is he doing here?

“Let him in then,” she said calmly.

While at the door, Wanda didn’t manage to convey the message before Toby entered the apartment in large strides to head straight for the living room.

“Sonia.” When he saw Sonia on the couch, he tried to make his voice gentler as he addressed her.

She turned toward him. “What’s the matter, President Fuller?”

“I came to deliver something to you.” Toby took a seat right opposite her.

Sonia was puzzled. “Deliver something? Sorry, I don’t think I left anything at your place. Even if I did, it’s certainly not something so important you’d want to come and deliver it yourself.”

“It’s not something you left behind; it’s something that Grandma wants me to deliver to you.” He lowered his gaze and passed the bag to her.

As Sonia couldn’t see, of course Wanda took the bag in her stead.

 

Sonia blinked as she asked, “Grandma wanted you to deliver it? What is it exactly?”

“A set of jewelry,” he replied as his eyes brightened. “When Grandma knew that you’re attending her 80th birthday celebration, she was so happy that she took out a set of jewelry she wore when she was young. She wants you to wear them when you attend the celebration later.”

 

“Really, huh?” She narrowed her eyes, obviously not buying it.

Toby nodded with a steadfast expression. “Of course. You can call her to confirm it if you want to.”

Sonia fell silent.

A few seconds later, she sighed. “All right, I got it. Please thank her for me. I’ll wear them when I head over.”

“Good.” His thin lips curved into a smile.
