Chapter 1233


    Sonia narrowed her eyes and became alerted at once. Clearly, this b*stard of a man is scheming


    something again!


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Toby quirked a brow seeing how alert his beloved suddenly


    became.


    To that, Sonia snorted. "You know why I''m looking at you like this!"


    "I don''t!" He shook his head with bafflement, only leading her to roll her eyes at him. "Yeah, right? You


    know full well."


    "Do I? Why don''t you tell me what I should know then, hmm?" He smirked.


    She pursed her lips at that. "You know full well why I''m on guard! You want more than just a verbal


    thanks. Isn''t it obvious that you''re implying you want to take advantage of me?"


    Despite being caught red-handed, not only wasn''t Toby the slightest bit flustered, but he even chuckled.


    "Then are you willing to fulfill my wish?"


    Sonia had just parted her lips to retort when Toby interjected, exining, "Rx, I won''t really go as far


    as do anything to you when you''re like this. I just want you to give me a kiss."


    At that, he pointed at his face. Honestly, Sonia let her guard down after hearing his exnation.


    She had indeed assumed in the beginning that the guy found his chance to do the deed with her again,


    so she held her guard up against him immediately for fear that he would really do what she thought he


    would.


    After all, she really couldn''t take any more of his manhandling at the moment. If anything, it was even


    possible that she''d die right on the bed.


    Fortunately, it was proven in the end that she had let her imagination run wild, and Toby wasn''t so


    deranged. He just wanted a kiss from her.


    Compared to making love, a kiss was aplete piece of cake and a very easy wish to fulfill for her.


    In any case, she honestly wasn''t against giving him a kiss aspared to making love.


    At that, she heaved a sigh of relief and leaned close, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Are we good


    now?"


    "Yeah, we''re good." Toby nodded contentedly while cradling her in his arms.


    Sonia snorted in response and entreated, "Well, go to sleep then. You have to sleep. As healthy as you


    are, you''re still human, and your body isn''t made of steel. Your body will one day fail you if you keep


    treating it carelessly. So, sleep."


    At that, she shut her eyes and went to sleep, bing an example for Toby.


    Joy spread across Toby'' eyes as he looked at Sonia, who was all ''I''m dead asleep'', and he felt loved.


    How could he not be when she was worried about his health?

    "Okay, sleep." With that, he reached for the switch and turned the lights off, and the room became pitch


    ck at once.


    Then, Tobyy back down, pulled Sonia into his arms, and gave her a kiss on the forehead before


    mumbling a good night.


    Sonia stiffened up in response but very quickly returned to normal, and it wasn''t until Toby closed his


    eyes and there were no more movements after some time that she, too, mumbled a good night.


    Toby opened his eyes and allowed a hint of glimmer to sh across his fathomless gaze as he


    tightened his hug on Sonia before closing his eyes back up.


    It was past seven in the morning when the couple stirred again, and they were woken up by the


    doorbell.


    Sonia reflexively frowned before reluctantly opening his eyes. It was evident that she hadn''t had


    enough sleep and was somewhat grumpy about it.


    Toby, on the other hand, woke up pretty briskly, with thest sliver of sleepiness gone as soon as he


    opened his eyes.


    He lifted the covers, sat up, and was amused when he turned to find a certain someone spacing out


    while staring dully at the ceiling.


    "What''s wrong? Still half asleep?" he asked while feeling her forehead.


    Sonia blinked in response. "Hmm… a little." Her kittenish voice wasced with absolute drowsiness,


    and it was like actual kitten ws were scratching at his heart non-stop, tickling him.


    If he hadn''t kept in mind that he had really worn her out the night before, he certainly wouldn''t be


    holding back at this moment and instead would be dragging her for a morning quickie, helping her


    wake up for good in the meantime.


    At that, his gaze dimmed. "Take a nap then. I''ll be quiet," he said in a hoarse voice after suppressing


    his burning desire.


    "Nah, forget it." Sonia shook her head and yawned. "I have a pretty important meetingter. What if I


    oversleep?"


    "Will you be able to stay awake then?" He looked at her worriedly, only to receive a dirty look from her.


    "Well, I''ll have to even if I can''t, and that''s no thanks to you. You couldn''t have restrained yourself even


    a little."


    Toby chuckled in response. "That''s on me. Then—"


    "Stop!" Sonia put her hand out at once, stopping him from continuing his words. "Don''t tell me to take a


    day off again. Don''t worry. I''m not that fragile. I''ll be alive after a wash-up and breakfast. Rx."


    "Really?" He looked at her with worry still in his eyes.


    Sonia nodded in affirmation. "Really. Trust me. Now pull me up."


    She reached her arm toward Toby, who grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.


    After sitting up, she raised both arms into the air and stretched. "Ah! Much better, and my brain is


    beginning to work. Let''s go. Didn''t someone ring the doorbell?"


    Meanwhile, she put her arms down and looked at Toby, who no longer insisted that she rested, seeing


    that she was indeed much more spirited. After humming a response, he got out of bed and handed her


    her shirt as he stood by the bed. "You put on your clothes first. I''ll see who''s at the door."


    "Go ahead." She waved her hand after taking her shirt from him.


    Seeing how she urged him despising, he smiled helplessly and ruffled her hair vengefully, only


    withdrawing his hands after making her disheveled hair even messier. With that, he walked out of the


    room with a smirk.


    Even when he had closed the door behind him, he could hear Sonia''s furious roar, "Toby Fuller, you


    son of a b*stard!"


    At that, his smirk grew wider, and the smile in his eyes deepened; even the steps he took had a hint of


    joy to them.


    On the other side of the door, Tom froze, dumbfounded with incredulity, when he found his boss


    answering the door with a smile.


    What the heck? President Fuller is smiling! Is he smiling at me? But when had he ever been this happy


    to see me at the door?!


    Having trouble believing what he was seeing, Tom took his sses off and rubbed his eyes before


    putting them back on, focusing on Toby.


    The smile was still there, and it was evident that he hadn''t imagined it. To think the president was


    actually smiling at him!


    Tom''s brain had fried at this point, and he still found the moment surreal.


    Hell, when had his boss ever greeted him with a good mood whenever he came over bright and early?!


    He could already consider himself lucky when Toby didn''t answer the door grimly, let alone smile at


    him.


    Thus, Tom didn''t feel the slightest bit ttered when he saw Toby smiling at him, but that something


    was up. President Fuller must be colluding something!


    His sses reflected light as he put his guard up. "President, have you… have you met with some


    good news? You look to be in a good mood."


    "I am, indeed." Toby raised his chin slightly. "I''ve pissed a kitten off just now."


    Kitten? Tom quirked a brow. "You''ve gotten a cat, President?"
