Chapter 1157
Although Toby looked as if he was jealous when his eyes were on Rose and Sonia, he was smiling on the inside. All this jealousy was only for show.
"Young Master Toby, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take a seat." After Mary had prepared dinner for Rose and Sonia, she saw that Toby was still standing by the door. As such, she quickly called him over.
Her call had attracted Rose and Sonia's attention. Then, they all looked at Toby.
Seeing that Toby was still standing there, Sonia realized she had forgotten him while talking to Rose. At that moment, she felt embarrassed and stood up, wanting to go over to hold Toby's hand. "I'm sorry, I forgot about you. You..."
Before she could finish her words, Rose grabbed hold of her and sat her back down. "Don't go. Sonny." Then, her face turned gloomy as she looked at Toby in disdain. "He is already a grown-up. There's no need for you to lead him over. Doesn't he have legs on his own?"
Hearing her words, Toby was speechless. He looked at Rose and sighed. "Grandma..."
"Enough, stop it. Hurry up and come over. You are already an adult, yet you still look like an immature child. Do you really have to get everyone's attention?" Rose's expression was still in disdain as she spoke.
"I'm not," said Toby while rubbing his temples.
"I don't care. Hurry up and eat. Don't you feel ashamed that we are all waiting for you?" Rose glared at him.
Toby's lips twitched, and he didn't say anything as he knew that whatever he said right now was inappropriate. Then, he walked toward them in silence. When he sat beside Sonia, she turned to him and snickered, her eyes filled with mischievousness.
See? I told you that Grandma would scold you.
Looking into her eyes, Toby realized that she was gloating at him. His eyes darkened, and he reached his hands under the table, tickling Sonia's armpit gently.
At that moment, Sonia's whole body stiffened, and so did her smile. Her expression looked weird.
Rose was going to take a sip of the soup Mary had given her when she saw Sonia sitting there stiffly. Seeing how dumbfounded she looked, Rose quickly put down the spoon she was holding and asked, "What's wrong, Sonny? Are the dishes not to your taste?"
Mary was getting food for Rose when she heard the latter's words. Then, she said hurriedly, "Yes, Miss Reed. If you don't like these dishes, I'll ask the cook to prepare some other dishes. There's no need to be formal here. Make yourself at home."
Listening to their comforting words, Sonia felt warm in her heart. Then, she regained her composure and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with the dishes. They taste good. I can tell that it's Olivia's cooking. She always makes the most delicious delicacies." Sonia put a thumbs up and said, "I just feel like something has bitten me. It could be a bug or something. That's why I was not paying attention just now."
A bug? Toby raised his eyebrows and smiled. He knew that Sonia was secretly calling him a bug as revenge for what he had just done.
"There's a bug?" Rose and Mary didn't know about their secret interaction, so they believed Sonia's words when they heard them.
"How can there be bugs in here?" Rose was confused.
