Chapter 809


    "I''m d you know that." It was after hearing Sonia''s answer that Toby let go other face with


    satisfaction. Then, he pulled her up and asked, "You ought to be in bed at this hour, yet you''re still


    awake. Anyway, are you hungry? Do you want to eat a little something?"


    Sonia shook her head. "Nah, I''ll pass. I don''t want to put on weight, and I''m not starving either. I


    should have been the one asking you that question because you just came back from work. Are you


    hungry?" "Nope." Toby shook his head too.


    Soon, Sonia yawned and said, "Well, since you''re not hungry, you should probably get ready for bed


    now. After all, you just had a long day, and I think you''re probably beat now, aren''t you? Look at


    your dark circles." She pointed at the man''s eyes.


    Toby touched his eye bags and chuckled in an unconcerned manner. "It''s not that serious."


    "Not that serious? Come on. You haven''t slept in 36 hours '' Sonia pursed her lips, appearing


    unhappy.


    Meanwhile, Toby shrugged his shoulders in response, thinking it was no big deal that he hadn''t slept


    in 36 hours. After all, he had gone without sleeping for 2 to 3 days straight in the past, but his


    intuition told him not to talk back because he would only piss Sonia off.


    At the same time, Sonia had no idea what the man thought as she dragged him to the bathroom


    and pushed him inside. "Alright, you’d better take a shower now and get to bed. It''s gettingte


    now."


    "Alright, I''ll take a shower right away." Toby looked back at thedy behind him with a smile.


    Upon taking Toby to the bathroom, Sonia dusted off her hands and returned to the room, where she


    sat on the bed and leaned on the headboard. Then, she stretched out her arm and reached for the


    crystal ball on the headboard, holding it in her hands while ying with it.


    Admiring the raining snow within the crystal ball, she curled her lips and smiled brightly. In fact, she


    was deeply disturbed and vexed ever since she returned from the pastry shop because she couldn''t


    stop thinking about Titus and Julia.


    Not knowing why her attitude toward Titus and Julia had changed so much, she became annoyed


    and started to let her imaginations run wild while figuring out the reason behind it. However, the


    more she dwelled on that matter, the more confused she got, which was why she ended up sitting


    on the couch in a trance until Toby returned.


    Fortunately, Sonia began to feel her mood lifted after Toby''s counseling as her strange concern


    about Titus and Julia faded. Maybe Toby was right. I guess I only care about Titus and his wife


    because of my empathy, which is what makes me go soft. Well, let''s just hope that''s the reason


    behind it, or else... Just when she was absorbed in her thoughts, the room door was open,


    whereupon Toby came into view with a loose bathrobe on him that made him look manly by


    revealing his muscr chest.


    At that moment, Toby was stepping forward while wiping his hair with a towel. At the same time,


    water droplets could still be seen dripping from his hair before they fell upon his bathrobe and


    disappeared without a trace. Sonia then put aside the crystal ball and stopped leaning on the


    headboard, sitting straight with her eyes fixed upon him. "Why didn''t you dry your hair before


    coming in?"


    "I want to keep youpany," Toby responded, walking closer to the bed before he sat down.


    Sonia rolled her eyes upward. "Who needs yourpany?"


    "I said I want to keep youpany," Toby said while looking at her.


    Sonia was helplessly amused. "Alright, give me the towel. I''ll help you."


    "Okay." Toby responded with an affirmative hum and gave thedy his towel.


    Then, Sonia kneeled behind Toby and started wiping his hair with the towel. As his soft and smooth


    hair felt like silk, she loved it so much that she didn''t feel like taking her hands off it. However, she


    soon felt a stitched scar on the man''s scalp. While it was probably about 2 centimeters long, it


    looked like there were a few stitches there. Besides, the scar looked like it had been there for a long


    time. The next moment, she paused what she was doing and furrowed her eyebrows, gently


    rubbing the scar with her fingertips in a sympathetic manner. "How did you get this scar?" she


    asked with a bitter voice, which suggested how ufortable the unsightly scar made her.


    Toby opened his eyes, feeling Sonia''s touch as he instantly knew she was asking about the scar.


    Thus, he answered with a soft voice, "Tyler threw something, which identally hit me when we


    were kids." "Tyler did that?" Sonia raised her voice.


    Toby replied with an affirmative hum. "Tyler was a 3-year-old kid back then, and he liked to toss


    almost everything he got his hands on. Thanks to him, a mug flew my way and hit my head one day


    when I came home."


    Rubbing the scar, Sonia answered with a slightly gloomy face, "I thought you went through


    something that left you with a scar like that, but I didn''t expect that it was Tyler who did that to you. I


    guess he''s always been quite a nasty scoundrel, hasn''t he?"


    Nheless, Toby couldn''t feel happier upon hearing her words that expressed her disgust. "You''re


    right."


    "Alright, sit still. I''m still drying your hair, so stop squirming. I don''t want to hurt you." Sonia patted


    the man''s shoulder.


    Toby sat straight obediently, as he was told, just like a soldier in the military force, stern yet


    adorable. After wiping his hair, Sonia reached for the hair dryer and started blow-drying his hair with


    it. Since Toby''s hair was short, it didn''t take long for it to bepletely dry. Then, she put the hair


    dryer back into the drawer, but as soon as she did that, she quickly found herself pinned to the bed


    by the man.


    When Sonia looked up, she saw Toby staring at her as well with an ambiguous gaze, which seemed


    like two ck holes that could suck a person''s soul away. At the same time, she could feel the


    man''s heavy breathing just inches away from her cheek while sensing his eyes fixed upon her lips


    like a hungry beast.


    As Toby lowered his head closer and closer to hers, she knew what he was going to do and quickly


    resisted him by cing her hands on his forehead, stopping the man from lowering his head even


    more. On the other hand, Toby was stunned by Sonia''s reaction, as he didn''t expect to face any


    resistance. Thus, he gazed at thedy with his eyes wide open, as if he was asking her why she


    wanted to stop him.


    Sonia puckered her lips, revealing her white teeth while looking at him and shaking her head. "No!


    You haven''t slept since yesterday. Aren’t you tired?" I wish this guy could take his health more


    seriously. How can he be thinking about doing that right now?


    Nheless, Toby shook his head as well and spoke with a hoarse voice, saying, "Nope, I’m not


    tired at all." Sonia rolled her eyes upward at him in response. "You may not be tired, but I''m worried


    about you, so like it or not, you''re going to bed early tonight. You''re not as young as you used to be


    back in your twenties anymore. You''re thirty this year, so how much longer do you think your body


    can take it?"


    Toby was left with his eyes wide open, feeling somewhat annoyed to be reminded by Sonia of his


    age. I know I''m thirty, but does that make me look old? I thought they said men be more


    charming as they age. In fact, a man is in his golden years when he turns thirty, but why does she


    make it sound like I''m an old man? At that instant, Toby felt a little disappointed upon hearing


    Sonia''s words.


    On the other hand, Sonia noticed the bitter look on ''lbby''s face and pushed him to the side. "Alright,


    what you need now is sleep. Do you know that? Get to bed now."

    Toby pursed his lips and asked, "Do I look old to you?"


    "What?" Sonia blinked and asked.


    "You said I''m thirty and that I''m not as young as I used to be in my twenties." Toby looked askance


    at thedy. "So, do you really think I''m old?" Sonia was amused yet helpless. "I didn''t say you''re old.


    Instead, what I mean is that a thirty-year-old man may not be as fit as a man in his twenties, and


    that''s why you shouldn''t take your health for granted just because you think you''re still young. I''m


    telling you this because I want what''s good for you. Do you get me?"
