Chapter 1026 Proud and Complacent

“Yes, I’m certain!” Sonia nodded with a very serious expression, indicating that she had indeed learned enough, and she really didn’t need him anymore.

 

At the sight of her confidence, Toby shook his head with a laugh. “All right. I’ll leave it to you, then. Show me what you’ve learned.”

He wanted to see if she really didn’t need him anymore.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.” She smiled at him, then turned around and began to carve the rest of the pumpkin.

 
 
 
 
 

Seeing that she was no longer paying attention to him, Toby patted her head lightly, then walked away with his arms crossed and leaned against the wall.

Sonia turned and glowered at him. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing. I’m just teaching an ungrateful person a lesson,” he replied with a shrug.

She shot him a glare. “Hey, who are you calling ungrateful?”

“I’m not wrong.” Toby unfolded his arms and spread them outward. “I just finished teaching you, and you pushed me aside now that you don’t have a use for me. If that isn’t being ungrateful, what is it? Not only that, but you don’t have a conscience either.”

“You…” Sonia was rendered speechless by him as his words seemed to make sense.

It was true that she pushed him aside after she felt that she had learned enough, and it was ungrateful of her to do so. All of a sudden, Sonia felt so embarrassed that her face turned red.

At the sight of her expression, Toby no longer had the heart to tease her anymore. He stepped forward and gently caressed her hair, messing up her hair that she had painstakingly tidied earlier once more. “All right, I was just teasing you. Don’t overthink it, okay?”
