Chapter 700
“Let’s go.” Toby seized Sonia’s arm.
“But...” Sonia was holding a bowl as she wanted to say something.
However, when she saw Toby shaking his head, she somehow seemed to understand the
underlying meaning and gave Rose the bowl. “Enjoy your meal, Grandma. Call me if you need
anything.”
“Sure.” Rose nodded benevolently.
As soon as Toby took Sonia back to the table, he gave her a fork and a knife. “Let’s dig in. I bought
your favorite dish.”
Sonia then grabbed the silverware with a smile. “Thank you.”
Soon, the three of them began to enjoy their meal and stuck around for a while after dinner. When
the clock struck 9 PM, they left the hospital and headed to Skrk Tower. Upon opening the door,
Toby made a gesture by chivalrously inviting thedy next to him to go first. At the same time, Sonia
held the chain strap of her purse on her shoulder and bowed down slightly. “Thank you.”
“Oh,e on. Seriously? This will be your home soon, so cut the pleasantries.” Toby knitted his
eyebrows.
When Sonia heard the man’s words, she looked away with her blushed cheeks. “What’re you talking
about? What do you mean by this will be my home soon? Stop your nonsense.”
“I’m not babbling nonsense.” Toby bent over and opened his shoe cab, seemingly rummaging
through it for something he was looking for. “When we remarry each other, my house is going to be
yours anyway, so what do you say that we use this ce as our newlywed house?”
“Our newlywed house?” Sonia was caught in a trance just as Toby replied with an affirmative hum.
“Didn’t you say you’re going to live in the old manor with Grandma in the future?” Sonia looked at
the man in confusion.
“Well, that was initially my n, but I have now decided to send Grandma to the sanatorium.” Toby
then took a pair of pink furry slippers, cing them in front of Sonia.
Looking at the pair of slippers with a face of a rabbit on them, Sonia curled her lips upward and
wondered to herself. Whoever bought this pair of slippers must have had bad taste. In spite of the
thought of that, she didn’t speak her mind and proceeded to put them on after taking off her high
heels. It was only when she put on the slippers that she realized they fitted her feet perfectly. Thus,
she believed the slippers were probably prepared for her beforehand, although she had no idea
whether it was Toby or Tom who bought them.
Whichever of them bought the slippers really needs to up their game. Who says alldies love
anything pink with a cute little rabbit?
Soon, Sonia followed Toby behind and entered the living room, putting down her purse while asking,
“Why do you want to send Grandma to the sanatorium?”
At that moment, Toby was standing in front of the water dispenser machine, whereupon he returned
to Sonia with a ss of water for her. Then, he answered with a deep voice, “Grandma’s health is...
not doing good. In fact, the doctor has already warned us onest time about what could happen.”
“Wait, what? What did you just say?” Sonia’s face changed, her hand shivering so hard that she
nearly dropped the ss on the floor. A few momentster, she barely calmed herself down and
asked with a bitter voice, “How did this happen?” “Well, that’s the harsh reality we all live in. We
never know what will happen next.” Toby sat down in front of her and took a sip of water from the
ss he was holding, replying with a tired voice.
“H-How long does Grandma still have?” Sonia gripped the ss and asked.
“Two years.” Toby looked down and answered, “Two years at most.”
“Is that why you have decided to send Grandma to the sanatorium? To buy yourself more time to
spend with her?” Sonia gazed at the man.
Toby nodded in response. “The sanatorium is the ce with some of the best health experts in the
world. For that, I believe Grandma will receive the best treatment there, which should theoretically
buy her more time to live, but even so, it won’t...”
The man didn’t finish his sentence, but Sonia understood what he would have said, believing he
was going to tell her that the treatment at the sanatorium was still no magic, although it could
possibly extend Rose’s life.
At the same time, she also understood that those heartbreaking words would take courage for Toby
to speak up and that she could empathize with his pain. The next moment, she ced her hand on
Toby’s shoulder, trying tofort him with her silent gesture, but Toby seemed to want more than
just that. Thus, he yfully wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her in his arms while
burying his head into her embrace.
Sonia paused and tried to push him away. “Hey, what’re you doing?”
“Don’t move. Just let me hug you.” Toby tightened his arms around thedy’s waist, making sure
there was no gap between her body and his, like he was trying to fuse with her.
Soon, Sonia began to suffocate, feeling ufortable in her spine as she said, “Please! Let me go
now.”
Toby looked up, his eyes filled with bitterness. “Grandma’s condition breaks my heart, so please just
let me hug you. It helps relieve the pain inside of me because I don’t think you can bear to see it
torment me either, right?”
Sonia curled her lips in a speechless manner. What kind of excuse is that? He doesn’t actually need
to hug me to relieve the pain inside of him, does he? He is just using his grandma as an excuse to
take advantage of me. Despite the thought, Sonia eventually let it slide because she couldn''t stop
admiring his childish behavior.
Soon, she let out a sigh and rxed, taking her hand off his shoulder that was initially going to push
her away. “Alright, I''ll let you hug me for a few more moments, but you’re going to let me go by then
because I still need to take a showerter.”
“Okay.” Toby continued to bury his head in thedy’s embrace, responding with a grunt. At first, he
merely just hugged her without doing anything, but a few momentster, he began to turn the
situation into a touchy-feely intimacy as he started to kiss her neck and bite her lips.
Although it wasn’t painful at all, Sonia couldn’t stand the ticklish feeling and shrugged her shoulders,
patting the man’s back. “What’re you doing?”
Toby looked up and met her eyes with his darkened gaze. He then gulped and spoke with his
hoarse, maic voice. “Little Leaf, is your shark week over?”
Knowing what he was referring to, Sonia couldn’t help but blush. “No.”
“How much longer?” A disappointed look shed across Toby’s face as he was desperate to share
an intimate moment with her. Ugh, man! I’ve been holding in my urge for so long that I’m going to
lose my mind, if she is still not ready.
“What’s your hurry?” Sonia impatiently nudged him with her elbow, sensing his desperation.
Toby then hugged her tightly and said, “I’m just restless. After all, the woman I love is sitting right in
front of me, but there isn’t a thing I can do to enjoy an intimate moment with her. For that, how do
you expect me to continue waiting like this?”
“Well, like it or not, you’re going to have to bite the bullet and keep waiting.” Sonia pushed the man
away and stood up with her cheeks blushing even more. As soon as she finished her words, she
walked toward the washroom.
Meanwhile, Toby kept his eyes on her and helplessly rubbed his forehead, chuckling with a deep
voice. Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait for a few days then. By then, my wish is going toe true,
and I can have her without anything to worry about.
In the meantime, Sonia was standing in front of the basin, looking at her blushed face in the mirror.
She then turned on the tap and proceeded to wash her face in an attempt to calm herself down.
Nheless, she still felt something burning inside of her as her heart wouldn’t stop beating rapidly
even after sshing her face with the icy tap water a few times.

This is all Toby’s fault. We were talking about Grandma, but he just somehow steered the
conversation astray. Thanks to him, my mind is full of those dirty thoughts, and I’m having trouble
calming myself down. He is pretty good at ruining the vibe, isn’t he?
While Sonia was caught in her train of thought, she was interrupted by a knock on the door and the
man’s voice. “Little Leaf, there is no shower gel and hair shampoo in this bathroom. Instead, they
are all in the bathroom in my room. Besides, I’ve already gotten someone to prepare everything you
need for your shower, and they’re now in the bathroom of my bedroom. So, if you want to take a
shower, you could go to my bedroom.”
“Alright, I heard you.” Sonia rubbed her hands and made her way to the room, opening the door.
Noticing her wet hair, Toby furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What happened to your hair?”
