Chapter 529 Toby’s Slip

“Babe, what are you doing?” Charles didn’t expect Sonia to react so aggressively over a slip of paper. She snatched it away and hid it behind her, as if the slip was some sordid secret she didn’t want anyone to find out.

Sonia knew she was overreacting and could cause some misunderstanding, so she stared down apologetically. “Sorry, Charles. You can’t read this.”

“Why can’t I?” Charles put his hands down and looked at her.

Sonia started explaining, “Because—”

Charles interrupted, “Because it was left by Toby, right?”

Sonia was surprised, and her head shot up. “How did you—”

“You want to know how I found out, right?” Charles smiled self-deprecatingly.

Sonia gulped, but she said nothing. Yes.

He clenched his fists. “It’s a guess, and it’s not hard. Tina’s ‘suicide’ happened around midnight last night. Toby was with you then, so he must have sent you home. I don’t even need to guess who bought you the breakfast and wrote a message to you. Toby came over this morning again, didn’t he?”

Sonia’s eyes glinted. Well, that’s mostly correct. The only incorrect thing is the time Toby came over. He did not come over this morning. In fact, he never left. “Charles. Actually…”

Sonia wanted to say something, but Charles waved her off and forced a smile. “Let’s not talk about this. You should eat, and I’ll take you to Paradigm Co. after that. I have something to do there today.”

“You want me to eat the breakfast he bought?” Sonia looked at him, surprised.

Charles nodded. “Why not?”
