Toby's heart skipped a beat when he captured the sly look that flashed past Sonia's eyes. However, he remained calm and acted as if nothing happened. "What else?"
"Mrs. Lane also asked me whether you were nice to me. If you’re not..." She smirked.
Meanwhile, Toby's grip on the cup that he was holding tightened a little. "What will happen if I'm not nice?"
Noticing that his grip tightened, Sonia pursed her lips into a smile. "Kick you out of Lane Residence, of course. She also recommended that I break up with you."
Upon hearing that, Toby's facial expression darkened immediately.
Although he knew that Grace only meant that only if he wasn't nice to Sonia, he was still upset to hear those words as it sounded ominous. How could he feel happy hearing that after all the effort he had exercised to get Sonia back again?
"What about you? How did you reply to her?" Toby asked gloomily with his lips pursed.
Nevertheless, Sonia burst into giggles when she noticed his upset expression. "Of course I said yes. Mrs. Lane would have rushed over if I said no."
Immediately, the uneasiness that Toby was feeling dispersed into nothing. I knew she wouldn't disappoint me.
"Don't worry. I can tell whether you've been nice to me or not, and I won't lie to frame you." Sonia grabbed her cup and took a sip of water while Toby hummed in acknowledgment with a smile on his face. "I know."
"What time are we heading over tonight? I need to inform Mrs. Lane about it," she placed her cup down and asked.
At this moment, Toby glanced at his wristwatch and pondered for a moment before answering, "About 7.00PM, I guess. I need to head back to the old manor to talk to Grandma first as I need to clarify something with her."
His eyes narrowed before his facial expression darkened.
He wanted to know if Rose knew from the start that he had been raised by his mother as Connor's replacement.
Noticing the change in Toby's facial expression, Sonia opened her lips and looked like she wanted to say something.
However, she chose to not say it in the end and closed her mouth. Whatever. It's better if I don't ask him about it since he didn’t mention why he wants to meet Grandma. If he didn't tell me about it, he probably doesn’t want me to know about it.
After lunch, Toby cuddled Sonia for a while before he pressed her against the couch and started peppering her with kisses until she zoned out while staring at the ceiling. Then, he chuckled with satisfaction and left.
Hearing the footsteps of the man walking away, Sonia didn't bother getting up to send him off.
Why should I even send him off when I don't have any energy left after those kisses? It's already good enough for him that I didn't scold him. How dare he use the excuse of feeling upset for being a replacement to get me to console him after I wash the dishes! How dare he press me against the couch and take advantage of me?! What a shameless man!
She looked away from the ceiling and touched her red and swollen lips. Just then, there was an embarrassed look on her face.
Sonia placed her arms against the couch behind her to prop herself up before turning to look at the entryway.
There was no one there, and it was obvious that Toby already left.
Sonia looked away before she returned to the room to pack her stuff. It was time to head to Paradigm Co.
Initially, she planned to head over early in the morning, but she couldn't do so because of Connor.
Now that it was already afternoon, she couldn't delay it anymore and had to head to Paradigm Co.
