Chapter 1089
"You''re too cute, so I couldn''t help myself," said Toby while rubbing his lips with his thumb.
Sonia rolled her eyes at him when she heard his shameless reasoning. "So, that''s why you have
quite a few moments where you can''t help yourself in a day?"
"Why? It''s not against thew," said Toby. Then, he tilted his head slightly and smiled at her—a
smile that seemed more like a sinister grin than a sweet one.
Sonia couldn’t help but feel her cheeks flushing crimson as she stared at his devilish smile. If it''s an
ordinary man who puts up such a smile on his face, then the smile probably looks greasy and
disgusting. But when Toby makes the same smile, not only does he not give off the vibe of a greasy
man at all, but it also has the capability to make one''s heart beat faster and one blush. Enchanter! I
wonder who it is that says only women can tempt men with their alluring smile?! Please! Men can
seduce women with their charming smiles too!
Sonia instantly covered her face while saying to him, "Stop smiling like that, will you? Hurry up and
control your expression!"
When Toby saw her reaction, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why can''t I smile?"
"Forget about the reason. Just do as I say. Hurry!" Sonia urged.
Since Sonia was the woman he loved dearly, Toby naturally couldn''t bear to see her not getting her
way.
Therefore, he swiftly followed suit as soon as she pleaded with him.
"Alright. Alright. I won’t smile like that. So, can you please stop covering your face? Don''t you feel
it''s hard to breathe with you covering your face like that?" While he stopped smiling, he reached out
to grab Sonia’s wrist and removed her hands from her face.
However, Toby was startled when he took her hands off her face. "Why are you blushing?"
"It’s none of your business!" Sonia snorted. Then, she opened the door and made her way toward
the police station. As she walked, the embarrassed Sonia let out a silent scream and thought, I can''t
believe a man''s charm will actually crimson my face. How embarrassing! And if that dirty dog knows
I blushed because he enchanted me, he''s probably going to be tremendously pleased with himself.
So, I must never tell him why I was blushing just now.
Meanwhile, Toby couldn''t help but be surprised for a moment when he saw that Sonia had already
left the vehicle and was walking hurriedly to the police station like someone was chasing after her.
It didn''t take him very long as he soon figured out why she was behaving this way. She suddenly
covered her face when I smiled at her just now. Later, when I held her hands covering her face, I
saw her blushing deeply. It''s strange because I clearly remember that she was acting pretty normal
before I smiled at her—not to mention that I saw no sign of flushing or embarrassment at all. In
other words, was it because of my smile that she suddenly blushed and left in embarrassment?It
should be, shouldn''t it? Otherwise, why didn''t she answer me when I asked her why she was
blushing? But then again, I never saw her have such a reaction whenever I smiled at her on usual
days. So, why does this smile alone make her react like this?
Toby also got out of the car as he desperately wanted to learn what had made Sonia blush so
terribly after seeing his smile. Then, he stood on the side of the car and bent down slightly to look at
himself in the left rearview mirror. He smiled the same smile from before and observed his reflection
in the mirror.
Even so, no matter how much he stared at himself, smiling in the mirror, there was still a little
confusion in Toby''s eyes. I still don''t understand what''s wrong with my smile that it actually has the
effect of making Sonia blush sheepishly just now. Well, of course, it can also possibly be since I''m a
man and feel differently about this smile from her. After all, men and women often view things
differently. So perhaps the same smile that can make women''s hearts skip a beat may not have the
same effect on men.
As he thought of this, he stopped looking in the mirror. Finally, he stood up straight, put his hands in
his trouser pockets, and sauntered to the police station. Regardless of why Sonia had such a
reaction to his smile just now, Toby realized that he might be able to smile at her like that more often
in the future just to see her so shy. Since she''ll feel shy from my smile, does this mean that she
actually enjoys seeing me smile like this? If so, then surely I need to satisfy her. After all, isn''t it a
man''s responsibility to satisfy his own woman?
Afterward, he strolled into the hall of the police station with his head held high like a man who was
proud of having mastered some kind of a secret code to wealth.
Meanwhile, Sonia, who was already in the police station, could see the unconcealedcent
look on Toby''s face from afar. Although she didn''t know what had gotten into him, she actually felt
rather both amused and exasperated when she saw him acting like that.
Toby came to Sonia and stood beside her. Sonia asked him curiously, "Look at you feeling so
happy. Did something good happen?" In fact, he looks like he''s in seventh heaven.
He smirked when he heard that, "It''s a secret, and I''m not telling you." If I tell her that I''m happy
because I had discovered something that would make her show her shy side, she''ll definitely warn
me not to smile at her like that in the future. So, there''s no way I''m going to tell her.
"Secret?" Sonia was stunned for a moment when she heard Toby''s answer. Then, she looked at him
with a great sense of disbelief and asked, "So, you''ve actually learned how to keep me guessing
now, huh? Are you really not going to tell me?"
"Yes, I can''t tell you," said Toby as he raised his chin slightly, showing his resolute demeanor.
Sonia harrumphed derisively, "Fine! Forget it! Like I want to know."
Afterward, she feigned displeasure, waiting for Toby to coax her and tell her the secret.
After all, it was almost infallible whenever she did this. But, s, this time, Sonia''s n failed. Toby
had no intention of coaxing her and told her the secret. In fact, he didn''t make any moves even after
she looked away for a long while.
When Sonia saw this, she realized that Toby was obviously determined not to tell her the secret. I
know I shouldn''t get angry even afier knowing he doesn''t want to tell me. Afier all, he has the right
to decide if he wants to tell me or not. But still, I feel a little upset when I see he really doesn''t n
to tell me. Perhaps I''m spoiled by him. He would hardly hide anything from me and would tell me
what I wanted to know in the past. Now that he doesn''t tell me even just one thing, I actually can''t
bear it instead. If this doesn''t count as spoiled or contentious, then what is?
When her train of thought arrived at that conclusion, she inhaled deeply to calm herself, rubbed her
face, and immediately regained herposure. I cannot behave this way anymore. Otherwise, I''ll
be an irritating woman.
Sonia couldn''t help feeling shivers run over her body whenever she thought about the possibility of
her bing a vexatious woman. No, that''s too terrifying. I must not let myself end up like a
vexatious woman. Such a woman is always crazy and unreasonable and quickly goes ballistic if she
doesn''t get the desired oue. I think I better be a woman who''s constantly rational and calm.
Such a woman won''t lose her cool and make a fool out of herself even if she can''t get what she
wants. Hence, from now on, I have to make changes to my temper. I can''t lose myself and change
my personality just because Toby usually pampers and tolerates me.
At this thought, Sonia hadpletely adjusted her state of mind. When she looked at Toby again,
the dissatisfaction she had felt earlier was gone. Instead, she looked at him and simply snorted,
"Forget it if you don''t want to tell. You can always tell meter whenever you want to."
"Okay." At that moment, Toby didn''t know what Sonia was thinking, but he could feel that her
demeanor had changed a bit. A while ago, she was still agitated, yet right now, she has be
cid. This shows that she can control her emotions very well now.

Just as he was thinking about it, a police officer came over with a notebook. "Miss Reed. Mr. Fuller."
Sonia smiled back, and Toby didn''t respond since he didn''t want to talk to other men.
Yet, Toby''s rudeness didn''t anger the police officer.
Since he was highly influential, and the case this time wasn''t a big deal, the police officer didn’t care
about Toby''s rude attitude. Rather, it would genuinely make the police officer ttered if Toby
greeted him politely.
"Miss Reed, Mr. Fuller, pleasee with me. Our chief is already waiting for you both in the office,"
the police officer said as he made a gesture, implying that they could head to the chief s office.
Sonia smiled politely and nodded.
"Sure. Please lead the way."
"You''re too kind, Miss Reed," the police officer replied. After that, he walked in front and led the way.
Meanwhile, Sonia and Toby followed behind while holding hands.
While on their way to the chiefs office, Sonia asked the police officer some questions regarding
Anya''s current situation, and he answered them one by one. When she heard that Anya had been
detained in the detention center for so many days, and her mental state had be pretty bad,
Sonia not only didn''t be soft-hearted about her situation, but she actually felt this was the best
ending for someone as ill-hearted as Anya. In her opinion, Anya deserved such a punishment for
her crimes.
