Chapter 1226


    Meanwhile, Sonia, who was grabbing onto her mobile phone, stared at the screen without looking


    away as she waited for his reply. She was so fixated on it that she was caught off guard when she


    received a video call from him. Thus, the moment her phone rang, she was so frightened that she


    almost flung her phone out.


    Luckily, she was able to calm herself down in time and grabbed onto the phone tightly, which


    prevented her phone from being damaged. From the looks of it, it seemed like Toby wasn''t ignoring


    her text message. However, she felt unease underneath the dness. Did he want to have a video


    call with me just to scold me? With that thought in mind, she clicked on the answer call button with


    trembling fingers.


    The next moment, Toby''s face appeared on the phone screen. Sonia grinned and waved at him as


    she said hi to him without first observing his mood. She was so enthusiastic that it frightened him.


    That was because Sonia was normally calm when they had a video call and wouldn''t show a hint of


    passion. He wasn''t used to her unusual enthusiastic reaction this time round. Of course, he was


    well aware that she was trying to please him after what she had done. Ahh, women!


    With that thought in mind, he looked at her with a straight face and asked impassively, "So are you


    admitting to your mistake?" Upon hearing that, she stared at his face and noticed that the lipstick


    stain that was on his face had been wiped off. Her observation, paired with his question, made her


    think that he was mad because of her prank.


    Realizing that, she looked down guiltily and didn''t dare to look him in the eye. "I''m sorry. It''s my


    fault. I did it without giving much thought to it, and I was trying to have some fun, so…" She swore


    that she merely wanted to y a prank on him because he was always the one who ''bullied'' her.


    She never thought that it would put him in trouble. She just realized the consequences, which made


    her feel bad.


    Noticing her pitiful expression, he softened up and almost stopped pretending to be mad tofort


    her. However, he managed to hold it out and let out a cough before asking calmly, "Have you really


    realized what you''ve done?"


    "Yes, I''ll admit to my mistake. I''m sorry. It will not happen again." She looked up and stared at him


    earnestly as she spoke. However, in her heart, she thought that it would be fine as long as she


    didn''t leave anything on his face that would make him look funny in the future. There was a glint in


    her eyes as she thought about it.


    He instantly knew what was in her mind when he noticed the glint in her eyes. He finally couldn''t put


    up with the pretense anymore and nodded with a smile. "Since you''ve realized what you''ve done, I''ll


    forgive you this time around."

    "You''ll forgive me?" She looked at him wide-eyed.


    "Yes." He nodded.


    "Really?" She ced the phone nearer to her face and asked again. With that, her beautiful face


    filled his phone screen, and he could see every detail on her face and crystal-clear skin.


    Seeing that, he couldn''t help but stick out the thumb of the hand which was grabbing onto the phone


    and caressing her face on the phone screen.


    "Really." He nodded and gave her a certain reply.


    "That''s great. So you''re really not mad at me anymore?" She let out a smile.


    He leaned back on his chairzily and supported his head with one of his hands as if he was a king


    on the throne who was looking over at his people with a smirk on his face.


    "I was never mad about it," he replied gently.


    "You were never mad about it." She was surprised at his reaction.


    "Never. Why would I be angry at you when you''ve not done something to hurt me?" Since it was just


    a prank, he would be a petty man if he couldn''t ept it. As a man, he should be tolerant,


    especially toward his partner. Most importantly, he actually liked the prank where she left a lipstick


    mark on his cheek, as it seemed like she was announcing to everyone that both of them were


    together. Of course, he knew that it wasn''t her intention, but it didn''t mean that he couldn''t think of it


    that way.


    She didn''t know what he was thinking, but one thing she was sure of was that the prank was just a


    small issue to him, and he wasn''t furious about it. She felt all warm and fuzzy inside as she heaved


    a sigh of relief since not all men could be as tolerant as him.


    A lot of men nowadays were petty, and she had heard one of her female staff speaking of her own


    experience. That staff bought a cup of coffee for her boyfriend and tried to tease him when he was


    trying to grab the coffee from her. She pretended that she didn''t want him to have it and was


    nning to give it to him after he coaxed her into doing so. It was a trivial matter and could be


    regarded as a cute interaction between the couple. However, the man felt embarrassed being


    teased in public. In the end, he let his ego get the best of him and pped her in the face before


    leaving. Because of this, the female staff couldn''t stop crying in the office yesterday.


    It would be petty for a man to feel ashamed over such a trivial matter and even beat his girlfriend


    because of it. Moreover, the man who did it was an ordinary man. If that man had Toby''s status, he


    would be put in a more embarrassing position. If that were the case, would he have to kill her to


    vent his anger? That was why when she thought of how a man like Toby could endure her pranks


    and not feel humiliated in public, it meant that he was a very generous man. She felt very fortunate


    that the unhypnotized Toby was a man with good values, not missing his hypnotized self at all.


    "Thank you for not being mad at me after what I''ve done to you." She tucked her hair behind her ear


    as she looked at him apologetically. Although he didn''t argue with her over it, it doesn''t mean that he


    should just ept that and pretend that nothing happened. Instead, she should apologize since she


    was the one at fault.


    "Silly girl, why would I argue with you over such a trivial matter? Don''t take it to heart. Moreover,


    rather than it being a prank, isn''t this the pleasure of being in love?" He couldn''t help but smirk.


    His smile was so charmingly sexy that it made her blush. He was so handsome that she wouldn''t be


    able to handle it if he tried to tease her even though they saw each other daily.


    With that, she immediately tried to change the topic. "Right, so did anyone make fun of you at Fuller


    Group? You really weren''t mad about it?"


    "Some of them didugh at me, but I don''t care as long as I feel happy."


    Moreover, they weren''t ridiculing him but were happy for him since they knew who had left the


    lipstick mark on his cheek. Those peopleughed when they thought of how in love both of them


    were. Since that was the case, he didn''t feel bothered about beingughed at.
