Toby clenched his fists even more tightly. “Why?”
Sonia looked at him weirdly. “Why? This baby’s an accident. I don’t love it, and its father doesn’t want it either. There’s no reason to keep it around.” Sonia knew it was cruel, but she had to be responsible. It’d be too cruel for the baby to be born into a broken family where its parents didn’t love it.
Toby asked, “If… If the baby’s father wants it, will you give birth to it then?”
“Huh?” Sonia paused.
Only then did Toby realize he had said too much. She might get suspicious, so he thought up an excuse and said, “It’s nothing. Just asking.”
Sonia didn’t dwell on it and flicked her hair. “Of course not.”
Toby frowned. She won’t do it even if the father wants it?
Sonia knew what he was thinking, so she answered, “Why should I give birth to the child of a man I don’t know and love?”
Toby couldn’t say anything to that. She didn’t know he was the guy who knocked her up, so there was no reason for her to give birth to the child. Even if she knew he was the father, she’d probably abort the baby as well. After all, she did say she wouldn’t do it for a man she didn’t love, and he was the man she didn’t love. The mere thought of that made Toby upset, and he pursed his lips.
All of a sudden, he wanted to ask her why she fell out of love. They had been dating for six years, but she fell out of love in only a couple of months. Ever since then, he would sometimes suspect that she was just playing him for a fool, and that she never loved him.
The urge to ask her grew stronger and stronger, but just when he was about to ask, the manager suddenly said, “Parents, please tie the strings. The game shall begin soon.”
Just like that, Toby’s urge to ask was doused, and he glared at the manager angrily.
Sonia noticed him glaring at the manager, and she was confused. Why isn’t he tying the string? What is he doing? Gosh, he’s so unpredictable. “Give me the string, President Fuller. I’ll do it.” She extended her hand.
Toby retracted his gaze and looked at her. When he saw what she was wearing, he frowned. “I’ll do it. You can’t bend down wearing that.”
He bent down and started tying the string.
Sonia looked down, wondering why she couldn’t bend down. When she saw how revealing her shirt was, she blushed. At the same time, she was surprised that he knew it would be awkward for her to bend over with that shirt, since she didn’t think of it in the first place. Never knew he’s so meticulous. She looked at him, not knowing what to feel.
Toby felt her gaze, so he looked up.
