Chapter 703 Old Tales
When Toby saw the spam comments, he knew that Tom had managed to suppress the netizen’s responses to calm the situation down. Toby turned the live broadcast off and massaged his brows. He didn’t feel any relief, although the situation was partially under control. After all, just calming the situation down on the Internet didn’t mean that they had actually resolved the issue. The public had seen whatever Jessica wanted them to see, so Toby had to clear Sonia’s name.
He was just thinking of ways to fix this matter when Sonia walked out of the bathroom with the black silk nightgown that he had selected for her. She wasn’t wearing slippers, so she tiptoed quietly on the carpet with her bare feet. Toby didn’t hear her coming over, but he could smell the pleasant scent as she got closer. He quickly lowered his hand from his brows before he looked up to find Sonia walking over in the spaghetti-strapped nightgown. His pupils shrank as he looked at the woman before him.
She had just finished showering, so her damp hair was carelessly hanging from her fair shoulders. A few strands of hair were playfully dangling around her sexy collarbones, and they swayed left and right as she walked over. The sharp contrast between her black nightgown and her fair skin made it hard for one to tear one’s eyes away from her.
Naturally, Sonia could sense the man’s eyes burning into her skin. Her face had been flushed from the warm shower she took, but her cheeks turned redder when she realized that he was looking at her. She took a glance at herself before she shot Toby a glare. “What are you looking at?”
“You look really pretty in this nightgown,” Toby said with a gentle smile. His sudden compliment left Sonia utterly abashed, and she had to turn away to hide her expression. However, she had curled her lips up a little, revealing how she was slightly pleased to hear what the man said. She was a sucker for compliments.
“Come here,” Toby uttered as he patted a spot on the bed. Sonia turned alert when she saw what he was doing. “What is it?” Does he want to… No, no. I don’t think he’s such a pervert. He knows that I’m still on my period.
“I’ll blow-dry your hair for you.” Toby had somehow produced a mini hairdryer in his hands, and he swung it in the air to show it to Sonia. She heaved a sigh of relief. I knew he wasn’t that big of a pervert. She walked over and sat down by the edge of the bed. The moment she sat down, a shadow towered over her as a pair of large hands reached over to wrap a thick, white sleeping robe firmly over her body.
Sonia lowered her head to look at the arms around her waist. “Toby, what are you…”
Toby’s face was pressed against the back of her neck as he spoke in a rather hoarse voice. “I have to cover you up, or else I’m afraid I might lose control if I keep staring at you.” He was just a regular man—it was impossible for him to not feel certain urges when his lover was dressed in such a sexy gown in front of him. Therefore, he could only use his own sleeping robe to cover her up. Otherwise, seeing her gorgeous figure without being able to touch her would only agonize him even more.
Initially, Sonia froze when she heard Toby’s words. Then, she put her hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle. “You were the one who picked this gown for me,” she uttered in a rather playful tone as if she were saying, You brought this upon yourself!
“Yeah.” Toby pressed his forehead against the back of her neck and rubbed it against her. “I regret it now,” he muttered. He shouldn’t have been in a rush to get her to dress in such nightgowns—he should have waited until they got married. Now that she was already in one, he was the only one who’d suffer since he could only see her without being able to lay hands on her.
“You deserve it!” Sonia laughed louder than she did before.
He let out a helpless sigh. “Alright. Put on the sleeping robe properly, and I’ll dry your hair for you.”
“Okay,” Sonia uttered as she stuck both her arms into the holes of the robe and tied a knot around her waist. Then, Toby turned the hairdryer on before he started drying her hair. Sonia simply sat on the edge of her bed while she shut her eyes and enjoyed the experience. Her hair was being dried without her having to lift a finger—wasn’t that the most pleasurable experience ever?
