Chapter 1110


    As such, Lte could only take the subtlest action to test Sonia''s response. This was also a way


    for her to figure out Sonia''s defense system and understand her better. As such, this would make


    things much easier for Lte in the future to go after Sonia.


    With the original assumption that her n was wless, Lte did not expect Toby to take action.


    Not only did hee forward to rify that the rumors were untrue, but he also mentioned that he


    had full confidence that Sonia would never betray him.


    This isn''t something that Toby would do! He would never be bothered about the rumors on the


    inte. However, this time, he actually did something, so there clearly is a problem here. It must be


    Sonia who forced him by coercion. She even forced him to cut off ties with my family and go after


    our family. She''s despicable! That Reed woman is much moreplicated to deal with than I


    thought! As Lte thought about this, she could not help her discontentment and her adorable


    face was distorted quite hideously.


    Subsequently, Lte shut her eyes and took a deep breath before finally calming down


    temporarily. Next, she got up from the couch and walked over to the phone that had been smashed


    to pieces. She picked up the phone and removed the sim card before turning around to walk off to


    her room. She took out a spare phone from the bedside table in her room and ced the sim card


    inside, then made a phone call. "How''s everything? Have you sorted out the necessary procedures


    to enter the country?"


    The person on the other end immediately replied, "Yes, everything''s sorted, Miss."


    "Alright. I''ll leave for the airport right away." Lte narrowed her eyes and responded to the person


    on the other end with a sinister-sounding voice.


    Finally, I''ll be able to head back! There was an unmistakable crazed and excited look in Lte''s


    eyes. Wait and see because this time, once I''m back, I''ll definitely help Toby escape Sonia''s evil


    clutches! I''ll definitely seed!


    Meanwhile, Sonia was not aware that trouble was about to befall as she was standing in front of the


    freezer with a pint of ice cream in her hands. She was currently in a tug-of-war with Toby.


    In fact, three minutes ago, this was what happened. They were grocery shopping and had already


    selected some vegetables and meat, so they were about to push their filled cart to the next aisle as


    they walked past arge freezer stored with an assortment of ice cream. Sonia was attracted by


    mango-vored ice cream and she stopped in her tracks to grab a pint of it. Then, she happily


    ced the ice cream into the cart. As soon as she did that, Toby stretched out his huge hand and


    removed the ice cream from the cart, then back into the freezer.


    Instantly, Sonia felt as if her world hade to a standstill and the ted expression on her face


    froze too. She nced at Toby for some time and she was stunned in ce.


    Finally, she came to her senses just as he reached out to drag her away from the ice cream section.


    She immediately retrieved her hands from his and pursed her lips tightly as she stared at him with


    red eyes. "Toby, how dare you remove my ice cream!"


    Though he saw her reddened eyes due to the anger, he was exceptionally calm. "You''re not allowed


    to have this."


    "Why not?" Sonia''s eyes widened and she found his words rather amusing. "If you can''te up


    with a reasonable excuse for me, then you can just take the couch tonight."


    As soon as he heard the word ''couch'', his eyes widened slightly and his expression turned solemn


    almost instantaneously. "You''re not allowed this for your own good. Have you forgotten that thest


    time you had something icy, you experienced stomach cramps for the entire night?"


    Back then, he had her in his arms and was just about to enjoy a pleasurable night with her when her


    expression suddenly turned and her countenance became as pale as a sheet. There was a sheen


    of cold sweat on her forehead and she clutched at her stomach whileining of pain. Startled


    by that, Toby found his urges dissipated as he took her into his arms and rushed out of the doors


    toward the medical center nearby. He was very worried that something bad was about to happen.


    Finally, the doctor gave him the diagnosis and her stomach pain was due to the icy stuff that she


    consumed. In other words, she would be fine after some pain relief and plenty of rest. As soon as


    he found out the oue, he heaved a strong relief and could finally feel at ease. From then on, he


    started to keep close control of her intake of cold stuff.


    Fortunately, she was not one who enjoyed icy food, so he did not have to keep tabs on her all the


    time. However, she suddenly ced a huge pint of ice cream into their shopping cart today right in


    front of his eyes. As soon as he recalled the torment she experienced during the previous episode


    of stomach ache, he naturally stepped forward to stop her from eating any ice cream. As such, he


    removed the ice cream she had added into the trolley without any hesitation and ced it back.


    However, he did not expect her to react so badly. Her eyes had turned red instantly and her rage


    was unmistakable. He started to doubt his actions and wondered whether he had gone too far. Of


    course, though, the self-doubt that he felt merelysted for several minutes before he suppressed it.


    After all, he was doing all this for her own good, so he was fine even if his actions were deemed


    excessive.

    Sonia was originally angry, but as soon as she realized that the reason he discarded her ice cream


    was because of her stomach ache incident thest time, her anger dissipated instantly.


    She was left with no other option because his reason was valid. Even if she was angry about it, she


    had no way of venting her anger. Furthermore, she found it ridiculous to rage at him as this would


    make her seem like an ungrateful brat. After all, he was doing all this for her own good.


    Nheless, she had a craving for ice cream, so she felt slightly upset to be denied it.


    Sonia looked at the ice cream, which had been ced back into the freezer, and spoke up


    earnestly, "I felt ufortable after the ice creamst time because I was due for my period, but


    this time, I''m not. I reckon some ice cream would be fine."


    "No, that''s uneptable." Toby maintained a cold expression and rejected her, "I don''t care whether


    you''re on your period or not. The weather''s too cold for ice cream anyway. Wait till summer arrives."


    "How much longer do I have to wait?" Sonia stretched out her hand. "Can you see this? I would


    have to wait for at least four to five more months."


    "Four to five months will pass by in a blink of an eye. Be patient." Toby grabbed her wrist and put


    down her hand.


    Sonia grimaced slightly. "Toby, you''re such a—"


    "Hmm?" Toby lifted his brows.


    Meanwhile, she bit her lips in response and clung to his arms as she started to shake his arm while


    behaving coyly. "Toby, don''t be mean. Let me take one pint. Just one will be enough."


    As she spoke, she lifted one finger with a pleading look in her eyes. "I''ll honestly just take one pint. I


    won''t be greedy and ask for more. Besides, I wouldn''t finish this pint in one go. I would definitely


    take a while to go through this, so it would be alright even if the weather''s cold."


    "No." Toby took a look at the woman, who was clinging to his arms, behaving coyly. Despite his


    wavering heart, he maintained a stern front.


    He had to resist her wiles and avoid giving in to her coy behavior for her own good.


    Naturally, Toby felt slightly regretful because he secretly hoped that she could have shown her coy


    side to ask for something other than this. However, regretfully, this was what she was after.


    As soon as Sonia saw his unwavering look, for a moment there, she doubted her attractiveness.


    This man here is usually unable to resist my ways, but why is he so determined today? Hmph! I


    don''t believe that this is his actual self. I''ll wait and see whether he''s truly determined or merely


    putting up an act.


    Sonia''s eyes roved around before a glint shed across her eyes as she clung tighter to his arms.


    She inched closer and nuzzled his arm with her heaving chest. Not only did she increase her efforts


    to woo him, but she also spoke in a much more seductive voice than before, "Toby, please. It''s just


    a pint. We should get one, alright? Please, let''s just get one?"


    As she nuzzled against his arm, she lifted her head to look at him and fluttered her pretty eyes at


    him.


    At that point, he took a deep breath and pursed his lips tightly soon after that as the vein on his


    temple swelled and pulsated. The hand gripping on the cart handle tightened significantly and his


    veins protruded clearly.


    Evidently, this time, Sonia''s action of wooing him hadnded a huge impact on him to the point that


    he could no longer control himself. He could only force himself to draw upon his willpower and resist


    the temptation. As a result, the sweat pooled on his forehead as he resisted.
