Chapter 1038

Seeing how Sonia would not tell him, Toby raised his eyebrow and decided not to force her. Instead, he let out a faint smile. "Fine, let's not talk about Tom anymore. I'll be feeling uncomfortable if you mention another guy. Why did you call me?"

"Sure." He nodded without hesitation. "What do you want? As long as you want it, I'll do anything for you."
