Toby stepped into the house before making his way familiarly toward the dining table. Then, he placed the bag on the table and took out their breakfast.
After that, he turned to look at Sonia and waved at her. “Come and eat.”
“Go ahead; don’t wait for me. I’ll go and do my hair first,” she said as she pointed at her hair.
When Sonia changed into her clothes earlier, she messed up her hair and didn’t manage to tidy it. She had to at least make sure that her hair was in place in order to look presentable before she met anyone.
Upon hearing that, Toby inclined his head. “Go ahead.”
She hummed in response before heading back to her room.
A few minutes later, Sonia returned with her hair neat.
Toby was seen sitting at the table waiting for her. As soon as he caught sight of her, he moved the chair next to him and gestured for her to sit there.
And so, Sonia accepted it and went over to take a seat.
“Try the shrimp congee that Wanda made.” He handed her a spoon, only to have Sonia look at him in surprise.
“Wanda made this?”
“Yes.” Toby nodded.
“You came from the old manor?” she asked.
Meanwhile, Toby poured her a glass of juice. “I went over to get something this morning so I brought breakfast from there.” “I see.” His explanation had enlightened her. “I thought that you specifically went to the old manor to have Wanda make breakfast,” Sonia muttered as she lifted her chin.
“You can say that, since Wanda made the breakfast we are having now after I specifically instructed her to do so. After all, Grandma isn’t a fan of seafood.” He smiled and added, “Let’s dig in. The weather is cold today, so the food will get cold fast.”
“Alright,” she replied, and the two of them began to have breakfast quietly.
It was almost 9.00 AM when they were done with their meal. Together, the two of them left the house, thereafter getting into the car and leaving Bayside Residence.
However, the moment Toby’s Maybach drove off, a figure appeared at the entrance of Bayside Residence from around the corner.
It turned out to be Charles.
That morning, after talking to Sonia over the phone, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to return her something that she had left with him a long time ago. Therefore, he drove over with the intention to pass that thing to her.
Nonetheless, when he arrived there, he saw something he had least expected—Toby and Sonia leaving the house together.
He was able to tell from their actions that Sonia was no longer wary of Toby; she even had smiles in her eyes when she talked to him.
It was apparent that she had realized and even accepted the fact that she had fallen in love all over again with Toby. They might have gotten back together as well.
Otherwise, how could one explain why they would exit the building together?
Charles felt heartbroken at that thought, and he couldn’t help but clench both his fists by his sides.
Although he had declared to Sonia over the call that morning that he was willing to let go of her, moving on from a relationship was never an easy task. Instead, it was usually a process that would take a long time.
Hence, seeing her walking together with Toby still saddened him.
After some consideration, Charles took a deep breath, barely suppressing the bitterness in his heart as he took out his phone to send a message.
At the same time, Toby’s phone beeped in his pocket.
He stopped conversing with Sonia and took out his phone to glance at it. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes when he saw who the sender of the message was. Charles Lane? Why is he suddenly texting me?
Toby’s expression fell. He then tapped on the message that contained only a sentence. Are you in a relationship with Sonia?’
He raised his eyebrows, puzzled by the man’s sudden question. Yet, Toby replied, ‘More or less.’
On the other hand, those three words confused Charles. What does he mean by more or less? Is it a yes or no?
With his lips pursed, Charles continued to respond, his fingers trembling with every letter that he typed. Since the both of you are now together, please treat her well from now on. Don't break her heart, else I won’t let you off the hook!
