Chapter 1172

Sonia put her spoon down and turned to Toby.

Pursing his thin lips in conflict, he spoke after a while. "It's not like that."

"If so, why do you keep staring at it and not drinking?" The smile dropped from Rose's face, to which he replied in resignation, "Grandma, does the soup look edible to you?"

He pointed to the bowl in front of him.

Rose, however, only replied in dismissal, "The soup is made for you, so what do you think?"

Toby took a deep breath upon hearing that. "If it is as you say, then why is my soup different from Little Leafs?"

"He's right, Grandma." Sonia nodded. "It is obvious that mine is chicken soup, but I can't tell what his soup is, and it's weird. Why can't we get the same soup?"

Judging by its smell, Sonia could tell it must have a terrible taste without drinking it. Besides, it had an unnatural color.

I wonder why Grandma made Toby this kind of soup. I doubt it is useful to the body. Sonia was utterly suspicious about the soup.

Hearing Sonia take his side, Toby was touched.

That's my wife! She's showing consideration for me the whole time, unlike Grandma.

Watching the soup in the bowl, Toby felt his stomach churn.

He doubted that Rose wanted to help him nourish his body. Instead, he was sure she wanted to poison him.

Taking note of the young ones' suspicion and confusion, Rose sighed. "You're good at imagining things. I didn't give you the same soup because they have different effects. Sonny is a woman, and a female's body is different from a man's, which is why she's drinking the chicken soup. It was good to have the chicken soup after the menstruation phase or exhaustion. You, being a man, have no need to drink it."

As she finished her words, Rose rolled her eyes at him.
