Chapter 568 Nancy’s Gratitude

At that thought, Sonia rolled her eyes at Toby and grunted, whereupon she took big strides toward the mansion’s tall gate.

In the meantime, a confused Toby stood at his original position as he watched her walk away. Is she mad at me again? What’s going on? What have I done? After a brief contemplation, he was sure he hadn’t done anything wrong and caught up with the lady. “Wait up, Sonia.”

Since Sonia feigned that she didn’t hear anything and continued to walk forward, he was forced to increase his pace and followed her through the gate. As soon as the gate closed, he seized her wrist before pinning her on the wall while keeping his gaze on her. “Tell me what’s going on. Why are you mad at me?”

Deep down in her heart, she rolled her eyes at the man, feeling piqued with his question. Did he just ask why I’m mad?! She placed her hands on Toby’s chest and tried to shove him away. “It’s nothing. Just keep a distance from me as I need to get going now.”

Nonetheless, Toby refused to step aside as he continued to stand in front of her like a wall. “Just answer my question, or I’ll never be able to ease my mind.”

“Do you really want to know?” Sonia looked at him after she inhaled deeply.

“Of course, or I wouldn’t have stopped you to ask about this.”

She pursed her lips and answered, “Toby, did you move here because of me?”

The moment he heard her question, he was rendered speechless, but he was also surprised that she had figured out his intentions at the same time. It seems that I must have given myself away with what I have just said.

On the other hand, when Sonia noticed Toby’s silence, she sighed and added, “As I have expected, you… really have no sense of shame at all!”

He immediately understood what she meant. “Are you mad because I moved in when you were already here?”
