Chapter 559 Earthquake

What did he mean by ‘affect people with such ease’?

I was also there and heard everything.

Yet, I wasn’t affected in that kind of way and I even thought that it’s disgusting.

So, he’s just looking for excuses! Excuses to… to do things to me! Sonia thought.

When Toby saw that Sonia was so mad to the point of having red eyes, he removed his hand from his pocket and gently patted her on the head. “All right, I’ll admit that I wasn’t affected by that scene, but what I said in the second half is real. The love of my life was in my arms and took the initiative to kiss me, so tell me, how can I resist it?”

Initially, she wanted to push his hand off her head, but the moment she heard his explanation, the hand that she had raised lost its energy as it dropped to her side. The blush on her face deepened as she looked away and replied in a small voice, “I… I didn’t kiss you on purpose. Those two were too active in their actions and kept slamming the door, which bumped into me and resulted in me accidentally kissing you.”

“I know.” Toby nodded before he asked, “Were you hurt anywhere by the door?”

“No.” Sonia shook her head.

The door didn’t ram into her from a distance away; it had always been behind her.

So, when the door jostled her, it didn’t have that great force expected of something flying toward its victim. Hence, she wasn’t injured or anything.

“That’s good to hear.” Toby nodded slightly, his expression relaxing.

Then, he thought of something and asked again, “Right, do you know that woman?”

Upon hearing his question, Sonia suppressed her embarrassment and nodded. “Yes.”

“Who is it?” He looked at her.

She took a deep breath and solemnly answered, “Jessica.”

I figured that I would at least be happy when I’m with someone who loves me, but then…” Her eyes turned moist at the memory. “Not long after we got together, he met with an accident and died as a result.
