Chapter 1175
Rose thought matter-of-factly. Why shouldn't we accept his gratitude? We truly care about him! He may not like how we show our concern, but our concern is genuine and sincere. So, he should thank us, shouldn't he? So, it's reasonable for me to accept his thanks, isn't it? In that case, I can and will do so!
However, Mary glanced at Rose uneasily and communicated to her through her eyes, Old Madam, can you not hear the sarcasm in Toby's tone when he thanked us? No one says thank you with gritted teeth! So it's apparent that he is mocking us!
Rose blinked at her and communicated through her gaze, I don't care if it's sarcasm. The point is he thanked us, so we should assume that he is sincere and accept his thanks graciously.
Mary hummed awkwardly and was rendered speechless by Rose's logic. Therefore, she could only smile awkwardly at Toby.
Toby observed their interactions closely and knew just what they were thinking.
To be honest, he was a little amazed at Rose's cheekiness.
He deliberately thanked them sarcastically, but to his bewilderment, Rose accepted his gratitude without hesitation. However, it made him feel like he was talking to a wall. Not only could he not get any response from the wall, but he also felt defeated by the lack of response.
He wanted to say something more, but at this point, he didn't know where to begin.
Sonia, standing behind him, raised her eyebrows because she knew Rose did that on purpose.
She seemed to realize why Toby was so cheeky and bold. From the looks of it, she felt that these must be inherited traits.
Sonia touched her forehead and shook her head in amusement.
"Forget it. I don't want to talk about other things. I want to know what is in that stew." Toby massaged his temples, feeling a headache building the further this conversation dragged on.
Mary opened her mouth and seemed hesitant. Then, she remembered that she had promised to tell him the truth, so she took a deep breath and mumbled timidly, "Uh, we didn't use any strange materials. They are mainly a deer antler and a bull's penis..."
When Mary said the words 'a bull's penis'", her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. Toby was confident that she attempted to mumble the words because she didn't want him to know the exact ingredient. Still, he had to know, or he would eventually drive himself up the wall trying to figure out just what was in that stew had succeeded in driving his faith in humanity to a new low.
"A bull's what, Mary? Please say it clearly," Toby frowned as he urged impatiently.
Mary glanced at Toby and then at the curious Sonia. Eventually, she caved as she closed her eyes and yelled, "A BULL'S PENIS! Old Madam, let's go, NOW!"
With that, she grabbed Rose's hand, and both ran away as fast as lightning while Toby and Sonia were left dumbfounded as they stared at their retreating figures.
Sonia was the first to regain her composure. When she laid her gaze on Toby, who was still wholly flabbergasted by the reveal, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It was just too hilarious, and there was no way she could keep a straight face after this!
A bull's penis! Oh my gosh, a bull's penis!
Toby actually drank a stew made of a bull's penis! This was probably the first and last time he would ever drink such a thing.
"Hahaha!" Sonia doubled over in laughter until her eyes turned teary.
Her laughter pulled Toby back to his senses. His handsome face turned pale and red in humiliation, which made the whole thing even funnier.
He turned around and asked Sonia, who was sitting on the bench and couldn't stop howling in laughter, in a dangerous, "What's so funny?"
Don't you know why?! Sonia was laughing so hard that her stomach began to hurt. She knew that she should probably stop, or the pain would worsen. But when she looked at his face, that was a cross between ashamed and angered; she just couldn't help herself. "N-Nothing. Hahaha! No, it's nothing. I'm not laughing because you d-drank that stew. I'm laughing because... because...
