Chapter 855


    "Besides, it''s nothing embarrassing anyway," said Toby as he patted her shoulders lightly.

    To him, pleasing one''s partner wasn''t something shameful that could hurt one''s pride. If pleasing


    one''s partner was considered an embarrassment, one was either notpletely in love or had


    fallen out of love.


    It was anyone''s bliss to make their partners smile in joy. Thus, Toby wished Sonia wouldn''t overthink


    him doing those actions just to make her happy.


    She stared at him and rested her head on his chest in the end. "What can I say when you''ve told


    me this? But you still haven''t told me how you found out I entered the kitchen. I crept so quietly."


    She swayed her body slightly as she hugged him, acting all cutesy. If he didn''t tell her, she wouldn''t


    stop.


    The glint in Toby''s eyes changed at the sight of her affectionate actions. He gulped as his voice


    turned husky. "Alright, alright. Stop swaying. I''ll tell you. Don''t you know you''re ying with fire


    acting like this? I can''t help but think that you want it."


    It was natural for some parts of their body to rub against each other if she hugged him while moving


    like that. He was wearing only a thin shirt and thus could feel more of the sensation from the


    physical affection.


    If it weren''t for his rationality, knowing that he was in the kitchen to make her food, he would''ve just


    hovered over her and showered her with kisses in the face of such temptation. Only then would she


    learn her lesson that she shouldn’t mess with a man that easily.


    "W-Who''s ying with fire? Stop spouting nonsense.” Sonia finally realized her actions were akin to


    arousing a beast from its slumber when she noticed Toby''s red-rimmed eyes. Now that she was


    frantic with fear, the panic and awkward Sonia let go of the man’s waist at that instant in her attempt


    to retreat from his embrace.


    "Where are you running to?" Since he knew her intentions, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into


    his arms once again. He tightened his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder. His


    voice sounded gruffer as he spoke, "You''re the one who turned me on. How could you just run away


    without helping me out? That''s irresponsible of you."


    As his minty scent filled her nostrils, her flushed cheeks turned crimson. "When did I tease you?


    Stop spouting nonsense.”


    "You didn''t? Really?" Toby raised his brow as his hands around her began to slide downward.


    Sonia''s face changed abruptly, clearly knowing what he was up to. "Hold on! Wait! Wait! Toby! Don''t


    you dare!"


    "Dare what?" He yed innocent, staring at her with those innocuous eyes.


    She rolled her eyes. Why don''t you look at your hands and repeat that?


    You''re one shameless man.


    As though he could read her mind, he snickered in an undertone. It was sexy and seductive. "Okay,


    okay. I''ll stop. Just let me hug you for a while to calm myself down."


    Sonia gave him a doubtful look. It was apparent she didn''t believe that he would let her off that


    easily after something as simple as a hug.


    She trusted him in everything else but not in this matter. He did not show mercy on her on those few


    nights.


    Several times, she begged him to stop and let her go. He said ''yes'' and promised to stop after one


    last time. Yet, what happened in the end?


    He wanted her again after that onest time''. It was an endless cycle. With that in mind, she would


    never believe his words about this aspect of their rtionship.


    Aware of the incredulity glint in Sonia''s eyes, Toby smiled and shook his head helplessly. He didn''t


    expect her to perceive him as a man who couldn''t keep his promises.


    "I promise. I''m not lying. Just a hug is enough; I won''t do anything to you," he reassured her, gently


    stroking her hair.


    Since she couldn''t free herself, she had no choice but to trust him and relented.


    This time, Toby kept his promise. The hugsted for a short while. Needless to say, he seized the


    chance to take advantage of her, whereas Sonia rolled her eyes the whole time because of his


    naughty hands wandering her body.


    The man inhaled her lingering scent. "Didn''t you ask how I noticed you entered the kitchen?"


    Her body straightened in a heartbeat upon his words because she was confident that she didn''t


    make a single noise whileing in. Furthermore, he was paying total attention to the food. There


    was no way he could notice her approaching. However, he realized it, all the same, making her


    wonder how he could possibly know that.


    He smiled as he looked at her perplexed face. "I didn''t notice at first since I was focusing on making


    the wraps. But when you came closer, I could smell your perfume. That was why I knew."


    "Perfume?" Sonia was in a daze, not expecting to expose herself with her perfume.


    She raised her arm and sniffed herself. She smelled something pleasant, but it was a faint scent.


    One wouldn’t notice without a deep inhale at a close distance.


    However, Toby caught the whiff of it at a rtively far distance. Does he possibly have any


    supernatural powers? Otherwise, how could he pick up such a faint smell from afar?


    As she was absorbed in her musing, there was a flicker of surprise in her gaze that was fixated on


    him.


    At the same time, he saw through her at once. It was easy to read her mind as her expression gave


    it all away.


    He slightly raised his head. "I have a good sense of smell. So, as long as it''s not too far from me, I


    can pick up the smell even if it''s faint."


    "I see." Sonia nodded upon realization. "So, this must be your talent. It ain''t easy for one to have an


    exceptional sense of smell."


    Her musings humored Toby as he chuckled. "Probably. You can leave the kitchen first. It''ll be ready


    in minutes.”


    "No. I wanna stay here with you," she refused while shaking her head.


    Since it was her wish, he didn''t insist. Instead, after he spared her a nce, he turned on the stove


    and continued making the wraps. Meanwhile, she stood next to him with her eyes focused on him.


    His hands glided smoothly while making the wraps, and he didn''t seem like a total beginner in


    making them at all. Even so, she didn''t doubt him because she knew he was a fast learner.


    Sonia stayed seated in the kitchen for about ten minutes before a scrumptious wrap was done. It


    was a premium meal with eggs, vegetables, and meat.


    Toby held it with a baking paper and handed it to her. "Dig in."


    "Thanks." She smiled as she took it over. Then, after having a bite of it, her eyes twinkled brightly.


    "It''s amazing! It''s much better than mine."


    After he listened to her showering him withpliments, he couldn''t help but smile. "d to hear


    that. We should hit the road now. You can have it slowly in the car."


    Sonia hummed and gave him a nod. Then, with a wrap in one of her hands and his hand holding


    the other, she and Toby left the apartment.


    He drove slower than usual to make sure she didn''t finish it in a hurry. If he were to rush to the


    police station, she might choke herself while trying to finish the snack. Nothing woulde good


    from that, for his heart would end up suffering anyway.


    Therefore, the car was moving at a slower speed. It took them almost an hour when it was a mere


    30 minutes ride, where his tortoise speed even irritated some drivers on the road. However, they


    didn''t dare to m the honk. All they could do was curse at him in their own cars.


    After all, they had no guts to pick on the owner of a luxurious car. What if it was scratched? They


    didn''t have the money to repay for the damage.


    At longst, Sonia and Toby arrived at the police station, after which they got out of the car and


    went inside.
