It was hard to ignore Toby when he was staring at Sonia without averting his gaze.
"Look, Old Mrs. Fuller—Young Master Toby only had his eyes on Miss Reed as soon as he entered the room. He didn't even look at us. It looks like we are not eye-catching to him," said Mary teasingly.
"Yes, but that's normal. One would have guessed who he would look at as one is his wife, who is young and beautiful, while we, on the other hand, are two old people." Rose held the teacup while smiling as she looked at the perfect match in front of her.
As Sonia listened to their words, her face was beginning to turn red again. She couldn't help but cover her face as she lowered her head.
Looking at Sonia's red ears and the elderly who were teasing her, Toby guessed why she was blushing so hard when he came in. He assumed that Rose and Mary must have been teasing her before he entered the room. If only I had come sooner, then I would have known what they teased her about, he thought pitifully.
"That's enough now, Grandma and Mary. If you guys continue any longer, Sonia is going to be upset," Toby said as he looked at them while putting his arm around Sonia.
As the elderly watched Toby's reaction, they smiled while shaking their heads.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore. Hurry up and take your wife back. I'm going to rest soon," urged Rose as she waved them off, seemingly to get them to leave quickly.
Toby had the same idea in his mind as well. He held Sonia's hand and said, "Okay. We'll not be disturbing you then. We'll be leaving."
"Hurry up and go." Rose waved them off once again.
Seeing her action, Toby chuckled and led Sonia out of the room.
As they both walked on the corridor, the cold wind blew over, soothing the burning heat on Sonia's face. At this moment, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Gosh, I never knew that Grandma and Madam Mary liked to tease and joke about me. Moreover, it wasn't some typical jokes that they teased me with, but those dirty jokes. I couldn't even reply to them and was embarrassed too. If it was Toby, I would not be embarrassed like just now and would give him some remarks. However, it was Grandma and Madam Mary who were telling these jokes. They are my elders, and I can't be calm and talk to them about such things. All I could do was just endure it. Oh, how I wished that I could escape from the place. Luckily, Toby arrived and took me away before I was about to lose my mind.
As she was deep in thought, Toby asked, "What did they say to you just now? You were blushing red when I walked into the room."
Hearing his words, Sonia stopped in her tracks and looked at him bitterly.
This darn man. Is he doing it on purpose? I was just about to forget what Grandma and Madam Mary told me, yet he's asking about it now. How am I supposed to forget their remarks now?she thought.
Seeing that she was staring at him silently, Toby blinked his eyes in confusion as if he didn't know what he had done wrong. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Hearing his words, Sonia huffed and retrieved her gaze. "It's nothing. I'm not going to tell you," she said.
Judging from his shamelessness, she felt that if he had known that Rose and Mary were talking about their children, he would surely invite her for a steamy, hot night. She was not overreacting as he would absolutely do this kind of thing.
"Are you sure you can't tell me?" Toby pursed his lips.
Sonia huffed and said, "Yes."
Then, she quickened her pace as if she was afraid that he would grab her and asked again if she were any slower.
Seeing that she was walking rapidly, Toby sighed dismally as he stood on the spot.
It looks like she is not going to tell me. Fine, I guess I have to ask Grandma tomorrow. Grandma and Mary will surely tell me about it, he thought.
As he thought about it, he smiled and chased after Sonia. However, right at this moment, Sonia suddenly stopped and turned around. As Toby was chasing behind her, he didn't expect her to stop and turn around, so Sonia bumped into his embrace.
At that moment, Toby was startled, but then his smile widened. He took his hands out of his pocket and hugged her. If this was what she intended, then he'd be happy to oblige.
"Do you love me that much? Is that why you are so needy for my hug?" Toby said in a deep and seductive voice as he looked at her, who was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Sonia regained her senses and looked at him awkwardly. "I'm not needy for your hug. This is an accident, okay?" She tried to push him away.
However, Toby hugged her tightly, not giving her the chance to push him away. "It's okay. We'll just think of it as an accident. I will not say that you accidentally hugged me because you can't stand being apart from me."
As Toby spoke, his face was serious. If Sonia didn't know him any better, she would have thought that what he said was true.
"What are you talking about, Toby? You are making it worse. Are you saying that I intended to lunge into your embrace?" Sonia glared at him and tried to push him away.
However, Toby would not let her get away that easily as this was the first time she had 'taken the initiative' to hug him. He wouldn't let her go until he was satisfied.
With that thought, he hugged her even tighter and didn't budge. "Okay. I know you didn't do it on purpose. I'm the one who can't stand being away from you; I was the one who hugged you. Are you satisfied with this answer?" He lowered his eyes and looked at her affectionately.
Hearing his words, Sonia was mad. Is he implying that I did it on purpose? However, I didn't want to admit it, so he let me off the hook and said it was him. This man…
The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. Her face was red from anger, and she was breathing heavily.
However, Toby could feel her chest rising up and down when she breathed because she was in his arms.
Although it was winter and they were wearing heavy clothes, he could still feel the softness of her bosom.
Toby's eyes darkened when he noticed it, and his gaze went toward her chest.
It seems like she has gotten bigger here, he thought.
Toby was sure he wasn't mistaken and could confirm that her chest had gotten bigger after having an intimate relationship with him. That meant that this was his credit!
Initially, Sonia didn't know where he was looking. However, as his gaze got darker and hotter, she couldn't ignore his stare any longer. Thus, she followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at her chest. At that moment, her mind went blank, and she was a blushing mess.
This man…
Sonia was angry and embarrassed at the same time. She hugged her chest and shouted, "Where are you looking at, Toby Fuller?"
