After getting a slap in the face, Toby found himself facing the other way. Stunned, he subconsciously let go of Sonia as he seemingly didn’t believe she would get physical with him.
In the meantime, Sonia didn’t seem to be bothered by what Toby thought. Instead, she seized the opportunity and took two steps back, distancing herself from him while glaring at him angrily. “Toby, if you want to throw a tantrum at someone, do it in your own house. Furthermore, I want you to take a closer look at me now! I’m not Tina!”
Toby licked the corner of his lips and replied with a hoarse voice, “I know you’re not Tina.”
“Why did you still hug me then? Are you out of your mind?” Sonia sounded surprised.
“I’m not.” Toby clenched his fists.
“Then, why did you
“I love you!” Toby interrupted her words.
Sonia was caught in a trance, her mind going blank for a brief moment before she found her voice. “W-What did you just say?” Did he just say he loves me? How is that possible? I must have misheard it.
Soon, Toby fixed his eyes on Sonia and repeated his words. “I love you?”
This time, Sonia could no longer lie to herself that she might have misheard something because Toby had indeed just told her he loved her. Then, Sonia puckered her lips and responded after taking a moment to process what was going on. “Do you know what you’re saying, Toby? If this is all a trick from you and
Tina, I’m not going to fall for that, so you can save your energy and—"
Nevertheless, before Sonia could finish her sentence, Toby slipped his hand behind her head and pressed his lips against hers. It was only until she felt something slipping through her lips that she realized what was going on. At that moment, a vengeful look flashed across her face as she tried to shove Toby away with her hands, but to no avail because the man simply just felt like a concrete wall to her.
As Toby took one step into the house through the door, he cornered her at the shoe rack and kissed her harder and harder like he was going to suffocate her. Exasperated, Sonia raised her hand into the air to give him another slap, but Toby was prepared this time. Thus, he caught her hand in the air and pinned it on the wall above her head not long before she found herself helplessly restrained and vulnerable against him.
While Sonia’s rage took over her mind, she also felt a strong stab of bitterness surging through her, whereupon her eyes were filled with tears. Soon, Toby’s hand that was behind her head felt something wet trickling down her face, putting him in a cold trance. When he stopped and let go of her, he looked up, only to realize she was crying.
“You...”
“Stay away from me!” Sonia bellowed at Toby while rubbing her lips with the back of her hand, her face written with revulsion and abhorrence. Ugh! This is so disgusting! Yucks! Sonia felt like puking when she thought about the moments Toby shared a kiss with Tina.
Meanwhile, Toby squinted, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a sharp blade, when he noticed the disgusted look on Sonia’s face. Does she really hate me so much?
“You’re a b*stard, Toby Fuller!” Sonia was shaking from head to toe, staring at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Toby stretched his arm, trying to wipe Sonia’s tears for her, but before he could reach her face, she deflected his arm and reminded him of the exact same way he treated Tina back at the Gray Residence. Although Toby’s painful hand was turning red because of the impact, he didn’t seem to be angry at all. Instead, he put down his hand and said, “I’m not toying with your feelings, Sonia. I’m telling you the truth!”
“What truth? Do you seriously think I’m going to fall for that? You’ve been in love with Tina for six years, and now you came here to tell me that you love me?! Haha! What kind of joke is that?!” Sonia sneered at the man mockingly.
Toby puckered his lips as he began to speak with a bitter voice. “I know you’re probably not going to believe this, but the truth is—I just realized you’re the one I’m in love with today.”
