Chapter 635
Sonia hastily removed her sses and turned around to look at him. It was only then that she
noticed his head was leaning against her shoulder.
Moving her shoulder, she called out softly, “Toby?”
However, he didn’t respond.
Just then, Sonia moved her head forward to take a look at him. From the flickering lights of the
screen, she saw that his eyes were shut tightly and there was a peaceful look on his face.
Has he fallen asleep? Slightly surprised,
Sonia was quite speechless too.
I can’t imagine how horrible he finds this movie to be to actually fall asleep while watching it!
It made sense, though. This movie was advertised as a historical war film about spies, but the main
storyline was actually a love story.
For an ordinary male, this was not the type of movie they would enjoy, much less something Toby
would watch.
“Since you don’t like this type of movie, why did you buy tickets for this?” Sonia looked at the man’s
sleeping face as she softly murmured with a perplexed expression.
She didn’t intend to wake him up. After all, the movie had only started for half an hour and there
was another one and a half an hour left to it. If she woke him up now but he ended up not enjoying
it, he would fall asleep yet again. Therefore, it would make more sense to let him continue sleeping.
Sonia reached out and pulled thepels of Toby’s jacket closer together.
The heater was on in the screening room and the temperature was just nice when one was awake,
but someone asleep would definitely feel the coldness.
Sonia didn’t have an extra jacket to cover him with, so the only thing she could do was to pull his
lapels closer so that he was wrapped more tightly to retain some warmth.
After Sonia had done all that, she then put her sses back on and continued to enjoy the movie.
The moment she turned her head in the direction of the screen, the man who was fast asleep on
her shoulder suddenly opened his eyes.
He didn’t move his head, but his eyes roved about and he lowered his eyelids to look down.
Just then, he noticed that the jacket he was wearing had been buttoned up and the smile on his
face deepened.
Earlier, Toby had been about to fall asleep but he was woken up when she called his name.
However, he didn’t open his eyes because he wanted to find out whether she would directly force
him to get up.
Unexpectedly, Sonia didn’t do so. On the contrary, she allowed him to continue sleeping and she
even buttoned up his jacket for him because she didn’t want him to feel cold. After that, she had
also gently readjusted the position of his head to allow him to lean on her morefortably.
Her heart-warming actions made Toby want to open his eyes immediately and pull her into his arms.
However, he couldn’t do so because she was under the impression that he was sound asleep. If he
opened his eyes, Sonia would instantly realize that he had been pretending to be asleep and had
intentionally wanted to check her reaction. She might even be upset with him because of that.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
As such, Toby decided that it was a wiser decision to keep his eyes shut. Nheless, that didn’t
mean that he couldn’t hug her.
As he thought of that, he suddenly lifted his right hand, which had been hanging loosely by his side,
and he wrapped it around her soft waist.
Meanwhile, Sonia was stunned in ce and her body instinctively stiffened.
After all, one would definitely get a fright if they were suddenly held by the waist by someone.
At that point, they were in a corner and there was only her and Toby around, so it was quite obvious
who the person who hugged her was.
She grimaced and lowered her head to take a look. Indeed, his hand was ced around her waist
and several of his fingers were bent and hooked around her waist snugly.
He wasn’t even asleep? His hand shouldn’t be in such a position. Someone who’s sound asleep
with a hand on another person’s waist wouldn''t have their hand in such a position. Their hands
should be hanging loosely by the side. Gosh! I nearly got fooled by him!
“Wake up.” Sonia lifted her hand to shove him. “Hurry up and wake up.
Stop pretending.”
However, Toby didn’t move a finger and he didn’t have any intention of waking up at all.
Just then, Sonia frowned. “Toby, are you sure that you want to continue pretending? I’ll throw you
out if you keep this up.”
Meanwhile, Toby maintained his original position without moving an inch.
Sonia noticed this and she observed him for a moment, but his expression was as calm as before
and his eyshes didn’t even flutter at all. His breathing was slow and regr and overall, he
looked exactly like a person fast asleep.
That was why at that point, Sonia wasn’t too sure whether he was asleep or not.
If he was asleep, then her current actions would surely wake him up. However, if he was not and he
was just pretending... Gosh! Whatever! It doesn’t matter. Who cares whether he’s asleep or not? It’s
fine so long as he behaves himself.
Besides, this wasn’t the first time that he had fallen asleep while leaning on her shoulder.
Just then, Sonia heaved a sigh and ignored Toby. Subsequently, she put on her sses and
continued to watch the movie.
After an hour, the movie finally ended and the lights in the screening room lit up.
She took off her sses and a pair of reddened, teary eyes was revealed. Her eyshes were wet
and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Though the movie was the usual exaggerated love story, the rtionship scenes were quite
touching and Sonia even cried from time to time throughout the movie.
She wasn’t the only one either. There were many people in the screening room who had cried too
and even after the movie had ended, everyone was engrossed in discussing the scenes they found
most touching and could easily evoke tears in them.
Meanwhile, Sonia took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes as she got ready to wake Toby up.
However, before she could do so, she suddenly felt a load lighten on her shoulders as Toby had
gotten up just then.
He opened his eyes to look at her. “Has the movie ended?”
Just then, Sonia grunted. “It has, and you woke up just in the nick of time.”
She was definitely implying something.
Naturally, Toby was well aware that she was probing to check if she had actually been pretending to
be asleep. His eyes flickered for a moment but he pretended that he didn’tprehend her words
and he merely grunted. “The lights were too bright and the re from it woke me from my sleep.
Were you crying?” After Sonia heard his excuse, she couldn’t be bothered to pursue the truth of his
words, so she patted her cheeks and replied, “I was. The movie was really good.”
Really good? Toby had a differing opinion as he found that it was a rubbish movie that lowered
one’s intelligence.
Of course, since Sonia liked it, he would definitely keep his opinion to himself.
“It’s great that you enjoyed it. Let’s go. Everyone''s gone now and we’re the only two left.” Just then,
Toby stood up and reached for Sonia’s hand.
Meanwhile, Sonia ced her hand into his palm and he lightly squeezed it before walking out of the
room, her hand in his.
As soon as they got to the ticketing area outside, he nced toward the confectionery stand before
suddenly saying, “Why don’t you wait for me at the reception area? I want to go and get something.”
“What are you getting again?” Sonia took a sip of the mango juice that she hadn’t finished before.
“Don''t tell me that you’re getting some snacks?”
Upon hearing that, Toby shook his head slightly. “No. You’ll see soon
enough.”
Gosh, he''s keeping me in suspense! You know what? He can get whatever he wants. I’ll just wait
and see what he getster on.
Sonia withdrew her hand and made her way to the reception and she sat there to wait for him.
Meanwhile, Toby made his way to the concession stand.
The cashier girl at the concession stand blushed yet again upon seeing him. “Sir, what else would
you like to get?”
Toby parted his lips slightly as he murmured, “I need some ice. Please wrap it with a towel. Thanks.”
“What?! Ice?” The girl was slightly stunned. Evidently, she didn’t expect that that was what he
wanted.
She had worked here for quite some time now, but she had never encountered anyone intentionally
requesting to buy ice. Furthermore, he had even requested for her to wrap it up with a towel. What
does he need it for?
Upon noticing that the girl was in shock, Toby frowned and urged, “Just get it ready for me. It
shouldn’t be a problem for you to get all these ready, right?”
“Of course not!” The girl came back to her senses and she quickly responded while preparing the
items for him.
Since this was a concession stand that sold snacks and drinks, it was quite natural that ice was
plentiful there. It was also normal to have towels on standby because of the tendency for customers
to spill their drinks on themselves. As such, they quite often needed towels here, so there were
towels on sale.
Shortly after that, the girl wrapped some ice into a towel and handed it to Toby. “Sir, this is what you
requested.”
Just then, Toby nced at it and he was quite satisfied with it. Subsequently, he reached out and
took it from her. “How much is it?”
“You don’t have to pay for it, sir.” The girl waved him off. “You’ve bought all of our stock on hand
from earlier and the sales revenue we aplished today is equivalent to a whole week’s worth.
As such, we won’t take any payment for this. Besides, this isn’t worth much, so just take it as a gift
from us.” “Thank you.” In the end, Toby didn’t reject her gift and he turned around to head toward
Sonia.
