Although Toby wasn’t thirsty, he somehow nodded and said, “Yeah, sure.”

Sonia replied with an affirmative hum and proceeded to pour him a glass of water, to which he took over. “Thanks.”

“Not at all.” Sonia waved her hand and kept her head down to drink her water. In the meantime, Toby didn’t take a single sip of water from his glass, but instead fixed his eyes on her without blinking.

After finishing the water, Sonia put down the glass and was about to tell the man that she would be returning to her room just when she heard a growling sound, only to realize it came from Toby’s stomach. Meanwhile, Toby didn’t expect his stomach to growl at that moment as an awkward look appeared on his glacial face.

Sonia curled her lips slightly upward, trying to keep a straight face as she just witnessed one of Toby’s rarest sides.

“Um…” Toby gulped, seemingly wanting to say something.

“What’s the matter?” Sonia looked at him.

“Do you mind making a little something for me to eat?” Toby kept his head down and asked.

Sonia raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “Did you just ask me to make you something to eat?”

“Yeah.” Toby nodded, as he was indeed hungry.

Sonia pursed her lips, finding his plea sarcastic. After all, she had learned to cook because she wanted to have his heart in the last six years. However, he never really showed any interest in her, neither did he ever cast an eye on her. Therefore, she couldn’t help but find it laughable now that Toby asked her to cook for him.
