Chapter 788


    "Yup." Sonia nodded her head. She felt quite dizzy and weak due to her sleeping for such a long


    period during the daytime, so she couldn''t even walk in a straight line and seemed to be quite


    dazed.


    As soon as Toby saw that, he couldn''t help frowning and he instantly moved forward to grab her


    around the shoulders. Subsequently, he took her into his arms and allowed her to lean on him.


    Then, he lowered his head to look at her as he asked anxiously, "Are you feeling unwell?” "No."


    Sonia lifted her head to smile at him and responded, "I slept for too long so I''m feeling dizzy, that''s


    all. I''ll be fine after a quick rest."


    Despite her reassurance, Toby remained quite worried and he lifted his hand to ce it on her


    forehead to make sure that her temperature was fine. He finally trusted her words after confirming


    that she didn''t have a fever.


    "I told you to get up and take a walk in the afternoon, but you insisted on lying down despite my


    objections." As he spoke, Toby flicked her on the forehead.


    Meanwhile, Sonia pressed a hand on her forehead and smiled. "Alright, alright. It''s my fault. I was


    just too satisfied with our seafood meal earlier and I ended up quite sleepy after that. I didn’t feel


    like moving at all. I won''t do that again."


    "Of course not!" At that moment, Toby snorted. "Next time, I''ll make sure to keep an eye on you.


    Alright, let''s go over to the couch so you can take a rest. We’ll have dinner after that."


    Sonia nodded in response. "Sure."


    And so, Toby slowly escorted her to the couch to take a seat before he poured her a ss of water.


    Sonia took a sip of warm water and as soon as the water flowed into her stomach, she felt a warm


    sensation instantly. Shortly after that, the warm feeling coursed through her whole body and she


    immediately felt much morefortable than before.


    "By the way, what were you doing squatting over there earlier?" Sonia pointed toward the washing


    machine while asking.


    Suddenly, there was an awkward look that shed across Toby’s eyes but he responded calmly, "I


    was doing the washing."


    However, she couldn''t quiteprehend the situation, so she added, "The machine can do the


    washing, but why did you squat over there?"


    Just then, Toby realized that he had to give her a usible exnation; otherwise, she would


    definitely persist in interrogating him. As such, he released a slight cough before directlying up


    with an answer. "I searched on the inte and found out that the washing machine spins when it''s


    washing the clothes, but I waited there for quite some time and it didn''t spin at all. Is the machine


    broken?"


    In response, Sonia grimaced. "Are you sure that it''s broken? Could it be that you don''t know how to


    operate it?"


    Instantly, Toby turned silent.


    At that moment, Sonia kept her silence too.


    After quite some time, she finally covered her lips and smiled. "It looks like you had trouble


    operating it."


    There was a sh of awkwardness across Toby''s face and in the end, he had no choice but to admit


    it. "Hmm... Well, I''ve never used a machine like this before." "I understand." Sonia patted him on the


    shoulder and she didn''t mock him at all.


    After all, his clothes wereundered by the servants and some of the more expensive ones were


    dealt with by the designers personally. Other than that, the rest of it went into the bin, so Toby didn''t


    have the chance to use something like a washing machine. As such, it was normal for him to have


    difficulty operating a washing machine.


    "I''m sorry. I feel quite useless sometimes." Toby rubbed the spot in between his brows. I''m useless


    indeed. I don''t even know such basic life skills.


    Sonia stood up with a smile. "You''re not useless. On the contrary, you''re the most useful person. If


    you''re useless, how did you manage to amass your fortune? The wealthier you are, then obviously


    there would be plenty of people sorting this out for you. You don''t even need to lift a finger. This is


    the life everyone yearns for. How can you still find yourself useless? Besides, other than being great


    at earning money, you''re able to cook too. Furthermore, you learned how to peel a crab for me.


    There''s no other man who has as many skills as you do. You''re great at your career out there and


    you can also handle the house chores at home. You''re awesome!"


    Toby''s eyes shone and he flushed red to the tip of his ears when he heard Sonia''s praises.


    Then, he gave a slight cough out of shyness and his low voice rang out, "Alright, stop it. You must


    be hungry by now. I''ll go and get you your dinner in the kitchen."


    After he had said that, he got up and walked past the couch. Then, he hurried off to the kitchen.


    Sonia watched his retreating figure and lifted her brows slightly. It''s quite umon to see his shy


    look. He ran off before I could get another look at his facet At that point, she shook her head with an


    amused look on her face as she headed toward the washing machine.


    He didn''t know how to operate the washing machine, so she wanted to take a closer look to find out


    what he did. She was worried that he had broken the machine.


    And so, Sonia opened the round door of the washing machine and peered at the clothes inside.


    Just then, she realized that it was all of her clothes inside and there was none of Toby''s at all. It was


    the clothes that she had changed out of two nights before and she''d thrown them into the washing


    machine the previous night. She had intended to wash the clothes but as soon as she heard that


    he''d been involved in a car ident, she disregarded everything and rushed out of the house


    without a backward nce. She hadpletely forgotten that her clothes were in the machine.

    In the end, Toby had found out and even made the effort to help her do the washing.


    He''s really trying his best to be the resident chef andplete all the house chores. He''s


    working his way to bing the perfect man.


    Sonia smiled and started to find out why Toby couldn''t get the machine to spin. In the end, she


    realized that he had forgotten to turn on the water valve, so there was no water entering the


    washing machine. Evidently, the washing machine couldn''t function without any water.


    Besides the water, he didn''t put in any detergent either.


    This silly man! Surely he can''t expect to just ce the clothes in and then do nothing after that!


    Sonia heaved a sigh and turned on the water valve. Then, she poured some detergent into the


    compartment before finishing off by dusting off her hands. Finally, she went back to take a seat on


    the couch and turned on the television.


    She had just started on a television program when the cell phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.


    She didn''t bother to take a look at the caller identification and immediately swiped to the right before


    cing the phone to her ear. "Hello, this is Sonia speaking."


    "Son—no, I mean, sister-inw!" Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the other end of the phone,


    and Sonia was significantly startled.


    Who''s that? Why did he randomly call me sister-inw? Sonia frowned and thought that someone


    must have dialed the wrong number, so she removed the phone from her ear and was about to


    hang up when she suddenly saw the name Tyler on the screen. Instantly, she was caught by


    surprise, and soon after that, she grimaced. Oh—it''s Tyler on the line!


    He had gone overseas for a tournament and had been away for nearly three months now. Over


    these two months, he had not been in contact with Sonia at all, and she had rarely heard anyone


    mention him too.


    The oue was that she hadpletely forgotten this person and even forgotten his voice too.


    Actually, she didn''t forget his voice, but Tyler was going through puberty so his voice changed.


    Before he had left, she remembered that his voice had been quite gruff and it''d been quite grating to


    the ears.


    Now that he hadpletely gone through puberty, his voice was no longer gruff and grating to the


    ears, and it was now quite clear and sounded soothing. That was also why it wasn''t Sonia''s fault


    that she couldn''t identify his voice from the start.


    Then, Sonia ced her cell phone back to her ear and pursed her lips while saying, "Stop


    addressing me randomly. I''m not your sister-inw!" On the other end of the line, Tyler had just


    finished ying in the semifinals and he was taking a break in the changing room. He was dressed


    in a loose-fitting basketball shirt and was currently syed out on a row of seats. There was a towel


    wrapped around his neck and he wiped the sweat on his face as he spoke to her on the phone. His


    usually young, handsome face was now much more mature and there was now a resolute look on


    it. The chubbiness on his face had nearly disappeared now, and what was left was a rough outline


    of the defined features of a handsome male. Furthermore, the muscles on his arms and thighs were


    significantly bulged up than before. In any case, he was much more mature.


    Just then, Tyler bared his teeth andughed into the phone. He couldn’t contain the excitement on


    his face as he countered, "I didn''t address you randomly! You are my sister-inw. I''ve been told


    that you''ve reconciled with Toby."


    Meanwhile, Sonia could hear the smugness in Tyler’s voice and she couldn''t help rolling her eyes.


    "Ha! In the past, when I was his wife, you never addressed me that way before. Now that we''ve


    gone through a divorce and reconciled, you seem to be full of enthusiasm. Tyler Fuller, you''re quite


    nosy, aren''t you?" Obviously, Tyler realized that Sonia was mocking him, but he wasn''t the least bit


    upset. If this had happened a few months back, he was very prideful back then and definitely


    wouldn''t be able to tolerate that. He would have surely lost his temper. After all, he had been used


    to getting his way all the time and there was no way he would have tolerated another person''s


    mocking words. However, now that Tyler had been through the harsh reality of the current society,


    he had matured a lot. At the very least, he was no longer as prideful and easily triggered. As such,


    he merelyughed upon hearing Sonia''s mocking words. "Sister-inw, are you still mindful of the


    past? I was foolishly tricked back then. You must have realized that too!"
