Chapter 1027
When Sonia ced some food on his te, Toby felt that his heart was about to melt into a puddle.
It was all because of the food she prepared. At first, he had guessed that she suddenly cooked so
much because she had an asion that she wanted to celebrate with him. For example, getting the
spare parts back was a good thing that was worth celebrating. For this reason, he was even going
to suggest opening a bottle of wine.
However, she told himter on that she cooked so much not because she wanted to celebrate
anything, but to make it up to him. She felt that he had left his work to apany her during this
period of time, which had caused him to fall behind in many things, and she was feeling guilty about
it, which was why she prepared a feast to cheer him up.
In any case, she had prepared an entire table of food just for him. How could he not feel moved by
that? In fact, he was so moved that he wanted to carry her back to the room and kiss her fiercely to
show her how he felt. However, they hadn''t eaten yet, so he could only suppress this thought. After
all, eating was more important, and it wasn''t good for their health to skip a meal.
"I don''t need to try it to know that it tastes good." Toby looked at the woman opposite him with a
smile.
Sonia red at him yfully. "Stop spouting nonsense. You haven''t even tasted it yet."
"Even though I haven''t tried it, I know it. I''ve always been confident in your skills, just like the way
you believe in mine." Saying that, he picked up his utensils.
He wasn''t just uttering these sweet words to make her happy. He meant everything he said.
Although she had never studied cooking properly, her skills were sharpened by Jean''s pickiness in
the six years. Hence, she was quite good at cooking.
"All you can do is talk. Hurry up and eat." Sonia rolled her eyes at him, but there was a sweet smile
on her face.
After all, she wouldn''t be unhappy by the fact that he thought her cooking tasted good.
She picked up the soupdle and served him another bowl of soup. "You should drink more of this
soup. I made it for you. You''re usually much busier than me, so you must feel much more physically
exhausted than me. This soup can help to tone your body, so it''s good for you to drink it." "All right."
Toby took the bowl of soup with a gentle expression. "What about you? You should drink some too."
"I''m fine. I..."
"No." Toby pursed his lips and said in a serious tone, "Since it''s good for the body, you should drink
some too. I can''t just tone my body alone."
Saying that, he ced his bowl down and filled another for her. He had already ced the bowl of
soup in front of her, so she had no reason not to drink it.
Sonia took the bowl from him, not knowing if she shouldugh or cry.
"All right, I’ll drink it."
"That''s more like it." Toby lifted his chin and picked up his spoon as he began to drink the soup. It
did taste good.
"Oh, right." Suddenly recalling something, Sonia stopped eating and looked at him. "Connor has
already sent the spare parts back. Were you the one who went to him and made him give them
up?"
Hearing that, Toby ced his spoon down and lifted his head. "It was me." He admitted it boldly.
Sonia bit on her lip. "As expected, I knew it was you. No one could do this except you, but... How
did you know about Connor taking the spare parts from Paradigm Co.? I never told you about it. Did
you really nt a spy in mypany again?"
"Again?" Toby''s eyes narrowed. "Who told you that I nted a spy in Paradigm Co ? Or did you
doubt me on your own ord?"
Either way, it made him feel a little ufortable. If it were the former, it meant that there was
someone trying to get in the way of their rtionship, but if it was thetter, it showed that she didn''t
trust him.
Spotting the displeasure on Toby''s face, Sonia knew that her suspicion had made him unhappy.
After all, no one would be happy to be suspected.
"I guessed it myself." Sonia lowered her eyes, not revealing that it was Charles who made her think
that way. If she did, he would probably get jealous again, so it was better for her to hide this fact in
order to save herself from more trouble.
"Why did you think that I nted a spy?" Toby looked at her.
Sonia took a sip of the juice before replying, "When I treated Charles for lunch today, you knew
about it even though I hadn''t told you anything. I also hadn''t told you about the interception of
Paradigm Co.''s spare parts, but you also knew about it, so I had no choice but to wonder if you had
nted a spy in mypany again to report everything I did to you."
"Your words do make sense." Toby raised his chin slightly. "However, I did not nt a spy in your
company. When you told me to get rid of the men I had nted in Paradigm Co., I did as you said,
and ever since then, I don''t have any spies in yourpany anymore. As for how I knew you and
Charles were going out for lunch, and how I knew that Paradigm Co.''s parts had been intercepted, it
was all a coincidence. My men have been watching Connor and reporting his movements to me at
all times, which was how I learned that yourpany''s parts were taken away. After that, it''s
obvious that I would monitor you. I wanted to see how you would solve this matter, so I naturally
had to figure out who you have contacted and who you went to for help. After all, we are lovers,
aren''t we? Do I have to act like I don''t know if something happened to you? Am I supposed to
ignore it?"
As she faced the man''s all-knowing eyes, Sonia''s red lips twitched. "So that was the case. I
thought... I''m sorry, I misunderstood you. Please don’t be angry at me."
She looked at him, her eyes filled with worry and guilt. She was ashamed and regretful of her
doubts toward him. After all, they had promised to trust each other in the past, but this time, she had
broken her promise...
Sensing Sonia''s uneasiness, Toby sighed softly. "I''m not angry, and I don''t care if you suspect me in
these matters. After all, I do have a record, but there''s something I''m really unhappy about. Do you
know what it is?"
She shook her head to show that she
didn''t know.
Toby rubbed his brows, before he looked at her intently. "What I''m really upset about is the way
you''re hiding everything from me. If you refuse to tell me when something this bad happens and
would rather take the burden alone and ask outsiders for help instead of me, do you know how I
would feel, Sonia Reed?"
The way he emphasized her name at the end of his sentence was enough to exin his anger
about this matter. Sonia''s expression froze. She hadn''t heard him call her by her full name for a long
time. She also understood that by using her full name, it meant that he was really angry with her.
Earlier that day, Brian and Charles had said that if Toby found out that she never told him anything
nor asked him for help, he would definitely not be happy. She hadn''t realized it back then, but now
that she was looking at Toby, she was speechless. Charles and Brian really had been spot on about
the worst that could happen.
"I''m sorry, I..."

Sonia bit her lip and was just about to apologize when Toby suddenly interrupted her. "Sonia,
there’s something I want to know. Am I actually important to you?"
His gaze was extremely serious as he looked at her. He genuinely suspected that he didn''t mean
much to her.
All of a sudden, Sonia panicked and gripped her fork tightly. She instantly replied without even
thinking about it, "Of course you are!"
If he wasn''t important, she wouldn’t even think about preparing this meal to make up for her
neglecting him recently. However, his doubtfulness made her a little sad. At the same time, she
wondered if she had really done a bad job, causing him to doubt if she actually cared about him.
