Chapter 746
Sonia’s movements had been bold and exaggerated when she first drank the wine, but Toby burst
intoughter when he saw the way she scrunched up her face in response to the taste of the
alcohol. “Slow down. You don’t want to choke.”
“I’m not going to choke!” Sonia ced the wine ss down with a loud ng before pushing it
closer to him. “Give me another ss of that.”
“Doesn’t your heart ache over the price of the drink now?” Toby raised an eyebrow. She red at
him. “Of course my heart still aches, but I’d rather finish it than let it turn bad. Hurry and pour me
another ss,” she urged.
“Okay. I''ll pour you another ss,” he uttered afterughing for a while more. Then, he held the
wine bottle up to refill her ss. Sonia let out a sigh as she held the wine ss up and nced at
the sparkling, red liquid inside. “It’s all your fault. Why did you decide to prepare a meal out of
nowhere?”
“What?’ Toby was confused. “Did you say it’s my fault?” How can it be my fault? he wondered.
“It’s obviously your fault!” Sonia stomped her foot on the ground. “I wouldn’t have thought of
celebrating anything if you hadn’t made me a meal. I wouldn’t have recalled the existence of this red
wine if I hadn’t thought of celebrating anything. You wouldn’t have gotten the chance to open this
bottle if I hadn’t thought of it. So, whose fault do you think it is?”
Toby was shocked and speechless upon hearing her exnation. This brat is so two-faced! I can''t
believe she''s puttingall of the me on me. She’s expecting me to deal with all the consequences
on my own! Sure, I made the meal, and I suggested the idea itself, but I wasn''t the one who
suggested having a celebration, and I even tried to stop her when she brought it up. She’s the one
who insisted on bringing a bottle of wine here. Yet, it sounds like everything’s my fault now. Great.
Toby pressed his palm against his forehead while feeling sorry for himself.
Sonia seemed even more displeased when she saw Toby pressing his lips together with a
contemtive look on his face. She smacked her palm against the table. “What is it? Are you
unhappy now? Don’t you think it’s your fault?”
Toby pursed his lips. So, she''s forcing me to admit my wrongs, huh? “Fine, fine. It’s my fault. It’s all
my fault!” Toby had no choice but to shoulder the burden of being wrong. He patted the woman’s
shoulder to calm her down. Forget it, he thought. Since she’s my woman, I’m okay with taking all of
the me. I’ll just have to coax herter. A man like me shouldn''t get too petty about such matters,
anyway.

Toby took a sip of his red wine at that thought. “You’re lucky you’re with me. I don’t think anyone
else would pamper you like this.” He swirled the wine in his ss and looked at the red liquid before
letting out a softugh. This was the first time he was being med for something he hadn’t done,
and he willingly epted the me. He was certain that no one would believe their ears if they
found out about this.
Of course, Sonia knew what Toby meant by his words, and she knew how unreasonable she was
being. But why does that matter? He''s the man, right? What''s wrong with taking the me for me
sometimes? Sonia responded with a stubborn scoff in Toby’s face. “At least you know what’s the
right thing to do.”
Toby couldn’t resist pinching her face. “Why didn’t I know that you had this side to you in the past?”
She flicked his hand away. “There are tons of things you haven’t realized. You don’t even know how
many sides of me there are.” “Oh?” He smirked. “Guess I’ll have to continue digging deep into you,
then.”
“You can go ahead and do that. I''d like to see how much you can find about me.” Sonia raised her
ss and finished her wine once more. Again, she ced it in front of Toby to indicate that she
wanted another ss. He frowned without making a move. “You should stop drinking,” he uttered.
“No. I can’t waste this.” Sonia shook her head as she insisted on having another ss. Toby ced
hisrge palm over her ss as he spoke.
“You’ll get drunk. This red wine’s alcohol percentage is a little higher than the usual red wines. On
top of that, your tolerance isn’t that great, and you’ll get drunk after a few sses. Why don’t you
just listen to me and stop drinking? We can drink another day.”
“No.” Sonia felt oddly displeased when her lover stopped her from drinking, so she raised her sharp
eyebrow before speaking in a coquettish tone. “I insist on drinking this! The alcohol tastes good. I’m
not done drinking!”
“I don’t care.” Toby continued to reject her while he began keeping the wine bottle away. Sonia
immediately pressed her palms against the table to stand up. “Don’t you dare, Toby!
Don’t put it away, okay? Otherwise... I’ll...”
“Otherwise, what?” Toby stopped and turned to look at her. There was a gleam in his eyes that
made his gaze seem rather mysterious.
Sonia blinked—she was at a loss for words. Soon enough, she came up with a reply. “Otherwise...
I’ll start crying in front of you!” Then, she stuck her lower lip out and forced herself to start wailing.
However, regardless of how much she tried to cry, she simply couldn’t squeeze the tears out of her
eyes.
Toby was stunned by her actions. He had already been shocked when she smacked her palm
against the table before that. The woman Toby knew wasn’t someone who would smack her palm
against the table when she didn’t get to drink. Yet, that was exactly what she had just done. That
was the reason Toby suspected that she was starting to get drunk. Perhaps her temper ising
out because she''s drunk. Now, as I’m watching her attempt to cry, I know for a fact that she''s drunk.
But Sonia wasn’t entirely wasted—she simply seemed rather tipsy. The slight tipsiness had turned
her gentle and smart character into a more aggressive person who seemed livelier than her usual,
day-to-day self. When Toby saw the confusion in Sonia’s eyes and the redness in her cheeks, he
felt the urge to tease her more.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to cry for me? Why aren’t you crying yet?”
“I can’t do it...” She pouted while looking sorry for herself. He let out a deep chuckle that made his
chest vibrate as heughed. That was how funny she was to him. “I’ll return the wine to its ce
since you can’t seem to cry.” He began to act as if he was about to leave.
She immediately clung to his waist.
“No! I told you I wanted more of it. You can’t take it away.”
“But you’re drunk,” he replied.
“I’m not.”
“You are!” Toby stared at the woman in his arms as he repeated himself in a patient tone. Sonia
frowned and kept quiet for a while as if she were making sense of his words and checking if she
were actually drunk. After a while more, Sonia looked up at the man with her gaze more confused
than before. “Isn’t that perfect? You’re in luck. You can do whatever you want now,” she muttered,
Toby’s pupils narrowed, and his face darkened once he heard her. Sonia giggled. “I know. I know
you’ve always wanted my body, and that it has been hard for you to control yourself all along. It was
all because I couldn’t get past my own views on this. You must have struggled to hold it in for so
long. Today morning, in the meeting room, I sensed some changes in you, and I wanted to find an
opportunity to hand myself over to youpletely, but I didn’t know how to do it, so I thought that
drinking some wine would help us a little. At least I’d have a little more liquid courage then. I don’t
want to stay stagnant at this point and not go further with you.” Upon hearing her words, Toby’s
pupils trembled as his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down once every 2 seconds. “So... The
celebration was a lie, and you were just using it as an excuse to have some drinks? You wanted to
get yourself drunk so that you could let me take control over your body, huh?”
“That sounds about right.” Sonia rested her head against the man’s chest as she listened to his
rather elevated heartbeat. Her tone of voice made it clear that she was intoxicated. “But the
celebration was real too. I’m killing two birds with one stone!” she insisted.
