“I did, but your phone was turned off.” He looked at her handbag, and there was a hidden bitterness in his gaze. I called you, but your phone was turned off. Of course I feel wronged.
Sonia knew what he was thinking, and the corner of her left eye twitched.
“Sorry. My phone was dead back then. I only recharged it after I got back to my car.”
Toby chuckled, but he said nothing.
Sonia looked at him, then she tugged on his arm. “Are you angry?”
“No." Toby turned his head away.
Sonia held her forehead. No? The word ‘angry' is written on your face. Geez, you don't have to get annoyed just because my phone was dead and I missed your call.
You’re really becoming more and more of a child. She was thinking all that in her mind, but Sonia hugged his arm and apologized anyway. “Alright, it’s my fault. I should have charged it before I left home. I won’t do it again, alright?”
Toby turned around, but he still looked slightly miffed for whatever reason it was. “Fine.”
Tom almost screamed. What is up with that? Did he just go ‘Fine, I’ll forgive you because you asked me to?’ That's what the lady should say. You’re the man here, but Miss Reed has to be the one to cheer you up? Are you sure you should be doing that? Tom shivered, but it was not from the cold.
Sonia was amused by his reaction, and she shook her head. “Alright, stop acting like a child, you.” She nudged him with her elbow.
Toby held her arm and pulled her into his embrace. She gasped in surprise and fell back down, then he held her by her waist and stopped her from breaking free. “Just like that.
Don’t move.”
Sonia wanted to sit back up, but he asked her to stay still. She knew he wanted to hug her, so she played along. Sonia leaned against his chest and stopped moving, much to Toby’s delight.
Tom looked away calmly and pressed a button, then a divider slowly appeared between the front and backseat. Toby looked at it, and he seemed satisfied with it. Good. You’re a smart man, Tom.
Sonia didn’t know what Toby was thinking. She leaned against his chest and fiddled with the diamond button on his suit. “Why were you looking for me in the afternoon anyway?” “Nothing. I was Just missing you and wanted to hear your voice,” Toby looked at her and muttered.
Sonia paused for a moment and blushed, then she looked up at him. However, she couldn’t see his face from where she was sitting. All she could see was his jaw and sexy Adam’s apple. It was bobbing up and down as he breathed, and she wanted to touch it.
She had never touched a man’s Adam’s apple before. I wonder what it feels like. Is it soft, or is it hard?
Since Sonia was suddenly being quiet, Toby let her go and looked at her.
‘What is it?” “It’s nothing.” She snapped out of it and shook her head. “I was just thinking, we were only apart for a couple of hours, and you say you’re already missing me. Is that a lie?”
“Do you think I’ll lie to you?” Toby raised her chin.
