Since everyone has agreed to go mountain climbing, what are you still waiting for? Why don’t you go back and change your clothes?” Zane looked at the attire of the others and rolled his eyes.
Charles looked down at the silk floral shirt he was wearing, and the corners of his mouth twitched. “This attire of mine is indeed not very suitable for climbing.”
“Then go and change.” Sonia waved her hand, signaling him to go quickly. She would not need to change because when she came down, she was already wearing sportswear, which was just right for climbing.
“Toby, then I’ll go back to my room to change too.” Tina looked at the skirt she was wearing and spoke to Toby.
Toby lifted his chin slightly. “Go ahead.” He did not need to change either; although he was not wearing sportswear, his current attire would work just fine.
“Wait for me.” With that, Tina turned around and went back upstairs. The others also went back to their rooms to get changed, while Zane went outside to prepare the car.
Only Sonia and Toby were left in the dining room. This was perfect for Sonia because she had something to ask him. “President Fuller.” Sonia suddenly spoke up.
Toby looked at her. “What is it?”
“Was it you who sent me back to my room last night?” Sonia looked back at him, her eyes calm.
Toby nodded. “It was me.”
Sonia’s face fell. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” “I did.” Toby’s thin lips slightly opened. “But you slept too deeply, so you did not wake up.”
The corners of Sonia’s eyes twitched at that. “Is that so?”
“Mm-hmm.” Toby nodded, and she could tell that he was serious and not lying, so she felt a little embarrassed. She couldn’t even wake up? Just how sleepy was she?
Coughing awkwardly twice, Sonia collected her composure and added, “Well, thank you, but...”
“What?” Toby took a sip of his coffee while she lowered her eyes, then looked at him with a stern gaze. “But did you do anything to me in my sleep?” “Do what?” Toby raised his eyebrows and locked eyes with her. “Exactly what are you referring to?”
“For example, did you wring my neck or something?” Sonia asked as she took a deep breath. She couldn’t ask him directly if he had kissed her, so she could only ask that. Besides, she deliberately mentioned the neck, so he would definitely understand what she was really referring to.
Toby gripped his cup again and replied lightly, “No.”
“Really?” Sonia frowned slightly; she was obviously not convinced.
Toby looked at her. “Why would I do that to O”
your
Why? How would I know why?
Just when Sonia was feeling exasperated, Toby sipped his coffee and said again, “Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything to you. I put you in the room and left.”
His expression was cool, without the slightest hint of guilt. Sonia looked at him steadily for a while and did not see anything wrong with him, so she could not help but believe his words. Maybe the hickey on her neck really wasn’t his doing. But if not him, then who else could it be? It was hard to believe that after he left last night, there was another person who entered her room.
Thinking about this, Sonia clenched her palms, her chest heaving violently in anger. She really did not expect...
“Darling, I’m done changing.” At this time, Charles’ voice came, interrupting Sonia’s thoughts.
Sonia looked at the man who came over and asked in a low voice, “Did you go out in the middle of the night last night?”
“Go out?” Charles blinked. “No, I slept until morning; why are you asking me this?”
Sonia looked at his bewildered face to make sure he wasn't lying, then waved her hand. “It’s nothing.”
