Chapter 583 Midnight Intruder
Sonia tossed the bathrobe onto Toby and said, “This is something that I bought online a while ago, but it’s too big for me. So, you can wear it. Even though it might be a little small for you, it’s just for a night, so you’ll just have to make do.”
As Toby caught the bathrobe, he answered, “All right.”
“Go and take a shower and quickly dry your hair before you catch a cold.” While she said that, she pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
“Well, I’ll be going then.” With a nod, he left for the bathroom with the bathrobe in his hands.
After he left, she didn’t stay in the living room either. Instead, she went to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of ginger soup for him.
No matter what, she could not let him catch a cold after he had given her the crystal ball.
After slicing the ginger, Sonia turned on the stove and began to make the soup.
Once she was done, she took the bowl of soup back to the living room.
When she noticed that Toby still hadn’t emerged from the bathroom, Sonia placed the bowl of ginger soup on the coffee table. Then, she sat down and picked up the crystal ball once more.
As she caressed the crystal ball, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What an idiot. Who in their right frame of mind would go out in the heavy snow at night just to buy this thing, except for you?”
After that, Sonia returned the crystal ball into its box and walked to her room where she placed the box on her nightstand. Then, she opened the box once again to reveal the crystal ball inside.
Soon after, she kept away the swan decoration that was originally on the nightstand.
Without the large swan decoration occupying the space, the nightstand looked empty and plain with only the small crystal ball on top of it.
However, Sonia didn’t think that it looked ugly. At that moment, to her, there was no other decoration that could compare to the crystal ball.
At this time, she heard a noise coming from the living room.
When she realized that Toby had finished showering, Sonia hurriedly walked out of her room. However, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh at the sight of him standing by the couch and drying his hair in her bathrobe.
The bathrobe was way too small for him, so it was stretched tautly around his body and made him look somewhat comical.
Even so, the bathrobe had its good points, at least—it accentuated Toby’s good figure.
Toby clearly knew what Sonia was laughing about, but he merely raised an eyebrow and didn’t stop her from laughing further.
After all, he admitted that he looked rather silly at the moment.
Therefore, she could laugh as much as she wanted to. He wouldn’t mind it as long as she was happy.
However, Sonia had only laughed for a short while before she composed herself.
She was still aware that everyone had their self-esteem. An occasional laugh was fine, but if she had continued to laugh at him, it would be disrespectful.
Sonia lightly cleared her throat with a cough before she pointed at the bowl of soup on the coffee table. “I specially made that soup for you. Drink it.”
It was only at that moment when Toby realized the bowl of soup on the table. For a moment, a look of surprise flashed past his eyes before tenderness replaced that emotion. “Okay, I’ll drink it.”
He tossed the towel onto the hand rest of the couch and sat down, thereafter picking up the bowl of ginger soup to down it in one go.
Moments after he had finished drinking the soup, Sonia threw a hairdryer at him this time and said, “Sit here and dry your hair. I’ll prepare the bed for you.”
Toby obediently did as he was told; he stood up to walk toward the opposite armchair before taking a seat there.
On the other hand, Sonia went in front of the chaise lounge and started to feel around the bottom. Once she had found a rod, she forcibly pulled it outward.
Then, he watched as she yanked another layer from under the sofa. As she lifted the sofa up, the exposed layer was in alignment with the original sofa seat.
And just like that, the sofa was now a large bed.
Toby slightly raised his brow in surprise. It was his first time learning that the couch had a function like this.
“I’ll go and get you a blanket.” After Sonia finished locking the sofa into position, she turned and returned to her room where she fiddled around her closet for two blankets and a pillow before she placed them on the sofa.
