Chapter 1351

Sonia was startled as she glanced at Toby. Thinking that the man didn't mean to upset her, she wasn't mad at him. Then, she placed the quilt over him again. To her chagrin, the man lifted the quilt again the next moment. Certainly, she now realized that the man was doing it intentionally.

Furious, she placed her palms on her hips and glared at the man. "What are you doing, Toby? Why do you keep lifting the quilt? Are you trying to mess with me?"

"No, I'm not." Toby shook his head.

Sonia sneered. "Is that so? Why do you keep pushing the quilt away, then?"

"I just want you to sleep with me." Toby glanced at her and patted the spot beside him.

Sonia caught herself for a moment. "That's it?"

Toby nodded. "Yes."

Torn between tears and laughter, Sonia said, "I thought you wanted to pull a prank on me all of a sudden." After all, the man had done such a thing to her before.

Toby rubbed his nose. "I won't do that. Come here." He patted the spot beside him again and looked expectantly at her.

Nevertheless, Sonia shook her head. "No. I'd better get some sleep in the lounge. If I sleep beside you, I might accidentally irritate your wound at night." Therefore, sleeping separately would be a better idea, and it was the best solution for both of them.

However, the man insisted that they should sleep together, for he didn't want to be apart from her. In fact, he hadn't slept with her or pulled her into his embrace for far too long. He longed to kiss and hug her. More importantly, he wanted to bed her.

With that said, he couldn't possibly do the deed with her at this moment. Regardless, he still wanted to kiss and hug Sonia. At the very least, he had to satisfy part of his desire.

When Sonia saw his desire nearly spilling from the man's gaze, her heart softened. She didn't have the heart to turn him down. If she did that, she was worried the man would break into tears. "Are you not worried that I might accidentally touch your wound at night?" she asked.

Knowing that she had a change of mind, the man shook his head as his gaze brightened. "I'm not worried at all. Moreover, you're usually quiet and still in your sleep."

Hearing that, Sonia could only agree to his request. "Alright, then. I'll sleep with you tonight. However, if I accidentally touch your wound, you have to wake me up. You mustn't endure the pain, got it? Otherwise, I won't sleep with you again." She pointed at him with a solemn expression.

Realizing that she was serious, Toby nodded hurriedly. "Sure, I won't be silent. Don't worry."

"Alright. Get some rest now. I'll wash up and join you later." Sonia covered him with the quilt again.

This time, Toby didn't push the quilt away. With her mind at ease, Sonia shuffled into the bathroom and washed up. Then, she decided to wash the clothes that Toby and she had changed out of. It wasn't until two hours later that she was done with all those.

Toby had been eager during this period as he kept stretching his neck to look in the bathroom's direction, waiting for her to come back and sleep with him. However, after he waited for a long time, the woman was still nowhere in sight. When she finally stepped out of the bathroom, she entered it again.

As he watched her enter and leave the bathroom repeatedly, his expectation turned into disappointment. He was going through such a mood swing that it felt as though he was on a roller-coaster.

When he finally saw the woman coming toward him, he knew that he wouldn't be disappointed. A smile reappeared on his face as he said, "You're finally back. What took you so long?"

Sonia sat down beside the bed and fished out her toiletry bag before applying some skincare products on her face, which was her bedtime routine. "Well, it usually takes a woman a long time to wash up. Why aren't you asleep yet? Was I too noisy?"

"No, I just didn't want to sleep yet." Toby didn't move his gaze away from her. "I wanted to wait for your return, but I didn't know you'd take so long."

Hearing that, Sonia was amused. "Are you a fool or something? You could've gotten some sleep on your own. You didn't have to wait for me."

"I wanted to wait for you and pull you into my embrace. Otherwise, I won't be able to fall asleep," Toby replied.

A cheerful Sonia felt warmth in her heart. She blew through her skincare routine before keeping the products inside the bag. Then, she lay down beside the man. Forget it. Since he's been waiting for me for such a long time, I'll skip my usual skincare routine and keep him company earlier.

Toby's eyes lit up when he saw the woman getting into bed. Then, he extended his arm and pulled her closer.

Sonia did not resist as she moved closer to him so that he wouldn't exert himself and irritate his wound.

Soon, Toby hugged her tightly in his embrace and pressed his head against her neck. As he sniffed at her bodily fragrance, he kept calling her 'Little Leaf'.

Knowing what the man was up to, Sonia patted his shoulder. "Don't even think about it. You can only hug me and do nothing else, so you'd better get some rest. You won't think about such matters when you're asleep."

She could hardly stifle her laughter. This couldn't be helped; it was indeed amusing to see the man looking so pitiful, but there was nothing he could do. She didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't stop herself from doing it.

Hearing the woman's laughter, Toby glanced at her with an expressionless face. Despite that, his gaze was full of grievances.

Sonia stroked his head. "Alright, stop thinking about it. Let's sleep now. I'll make it up to you when you recover."
