"I didn't see anything!" Toby replied through slightly parted thin lips, but his eyes didn't move away from the woman's softness.
Sonia immediately felt her temper flare at his reply.
Shameless prick! Why are you not moving your eyes away from me, then?!
Not only are you not looking away, you are blatantly staring at me! And it will probably be fine if you are looking, but you are lying through your teeth with your eyes wide open! What are you if you are not shameless?!
"Toby Fuller!" Her voice became louder as she yelled the man's name.
Hearing that, he only blinked and asked, "What is the matter?"
The corner of her mouth twitched. What is the matter? Is this dirty dog really asking her that?!
"Get your eyes away from me, and stop looking as you please!" she yelled, her face flushed.
A hint of humor flashed across his eyes at that. "I am not looking as I please, though."
"Are you really saying that?! If that is so, where are you looking at now?" Her arms wrapped tighter across her chest.
He smiled and retorted, "You are my woman. It is normal for me to look at you, so I am not really looking 'as I please', am I? I can only look 'as I please' if I was looking at some other women. Understood?"
Sonia was so angry she was at a loss for words, and she only found her voice again after a long minute. "Toby Fuller, you and your lame arguments and perverted logic! That is just nonsense!"
"It can't be helped." He chuckled in a low voice. "It is my wife's fault for being attractive. I couldn't help but steal another glance. Surely you won't blame me for it? You are the one who has tickled my fancy after all!"
He kept gazing at her with his deep eyes.
As Sonia listened to the coquettish words coming out of the innocent-looking man, she felt her eyelids twitch. "Don't give me that. You are saying it is my fault even though you are the one who is looking at me with those perverted eyes. Are you going to say that I seduced you?"
"Nope." Toby shook his head. "It is because you are overwhelmingly charming. That is why I couldn't help but look at you."
"You could have just looked at my face then! Why did you look… there?!" Her face was so flushed it looked as though blood could seep through her skin any second now.
Toby's arms only tightened around her waist as he commented without hesitation, "I couldn't help it. Also, don't you think you have gotten bigger there?"
"You—" Her pupils dilated and a surprised look appeared on her face.
He actually noticed as well!
Sonia was quite pleased when she realized that she had grown a little bit there.
However, she wasn't so happy as to let him notice it as well.
Sonia knew that she wouldn't be the one who was happy as once Toby realized it, he would be the one who was delighted instead.
Seeing her turn quiet as she flushed red, he seemed to have understood her thoughts as the smile in his eyes almost overflowed. "You must have noticed it as well. Well, it is your body after all. You should be the first one to be aware of it. But, my Little Leaf, haven't you thought about why you got bigger there?"
She shrank back warily. "What are you trying to do? I am telling you, Toby, no matter what the reason is for them to grow, it has nothing to do with you, so let me go. I am going back."
She began to struggle against his hold as she spoke.
However, she couldn't possibly get out of his iron grip.
Not only did she not free herself from him after what seemed like an eternity of squirming, she had ended up tiring herself out.
"We are not returning to the Bayside Residence tonight. Let's just stay here in the old manor," he informed her while still keeping his arms around her.
His words made her stop. "What? We are not going home?"
"Mhm." He nodded. "Grandma already had Madam Mary prepare a room for us before we came here. It would disappoint Grandma if we didn't stay and left instead. She is hoping we will stay and have breakfast with her tomorrow."
"Why didn't I know about this?" Sonia asked, confused.
