This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618 Toby’s Excuse

Toby seemed to realize what Sonia had planned to do. A flicker of emotion appeared in his eyes before he lowered his head.

Then, she placed the towel on his head and gently dried his hair.

Sure enough, I was right. She was going to dry my hair.

A surge of joy warmed up his heart.

However, he quickly raised his head and grabbed her hand. “It’s okay. You should dry your own hair first. It’s not good to keep it damp for a long time.”

Sonia felt touched that he was worried about her getting a cold if she did not dry her hair soon enough.

She retracted her hand from his grip and shook her head. “I’m fine. My hair is not that wet—it can wait. Your hair is much wetter than mine, so you should dry yours first.”

When Toby had been shielding her from the rain earlier, the umbrella was mostly tilted to her side. As a result, his body and hair were damp from the rain.

Meanwhile, Sonia was only in the rain for a short moment. Since she had an umbrella above her most of the time, she wasn’t affected much by the rain.

Hence, compared to her, it was more important for Toby to dry himself first.

Seeing that Sonia had insisted on drying him first, he chuckled in a low voice. “Alright, alright. I’ll dry myself, but I can do it on my own.”

“Let me do it for you.” Sonia seriously looked at him. “You have done a lot for me all this time, so I’d like to do something for you in return. After all, I can’t let you do all the work while I sit around and do nothing. This is not fair to you.”

In a relationship, we should be understanding and learn how to give and take.

If there’s only one person giving all the time, the relationship won’t last long.

Since she had already decided to reconcile with him, she naturally wanted to be in this long-term relationship with him.

Hence, she knew that she should learn how to maintain their relationship.

After hearing her words, Toby’s eyes slightly widened as he looked dazed.

When Sonia saw this, she waved in front of him. “What are you thinking?”

Toby’s eyes flickered as he returned to his senses. With a brighter smile, he replied, “I’m fine. Sonia, I’m very happy to hear that.”

“Since you are happy about it, lower your head, please.” She rolled her eyes at him.

Toby hummed in agreement as he obediently lowered his head.

Sonia placed her hands on his head and continued to dry his hair.

Her movements were so gentle that he did not feel any discomfort at all and enjoyed the experience instead.

As he was unable to stop himself, he stretched out with his hand to hug her waist. Then, he leaned against her shoulders so that it would be easier for her to dry his head since she didn’t have to constantly lift her arms that might tire her out.

It was obvious that Sonia did not expect Toby to hug her. She paused her movements before shoving his shoulders. “Let me go. Don’t take advantage of this.”

I only offered to dry his hair, not for him to hug me. He better not think that I don’t know that he’s doing this on purpose.

Toby did not take her instructions and instead tightened his hug around her. As her fragrance entered his sense of smell, he spoke in a hoarse voice, “No, let me hug you for a while more. I’m getting light-headed.”

“You’re light-headed?” Sonia’s facial features immediately froze when she heard his excuse.

She stopped her movements and lifted his head so that she could touch his forehead to check whether he was having a fever.

However, Toby did not have a fever; it was simply an excuse for him to lay in her embrace.

Hence, he would not let her touch his forehead; otherwise, his lie would be exposed.

As he thought about this, Toby released his grip around her waist to grab her hands mid-air. He explained after a slight couch, “Alright, I’m feeling better now. I was feeling a little light-headed earlier, but it’s much better after a short while.”

“Oh?” Sonia’s eyes narrowed as she appraised her handsome face. Seeing the twinkle in his eyes, she understood that he was merely putting on a pretense earlier. This fellow!
