Chapter 937 Sonia’s Petty Scheme
Just like what the man had said, women, in general, would be pleased when receiving things such as clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics.
Sonia was no exception.
Nonetheless, Sonia hadn’t the slightest ounce of displeasure when Toby had given these gifts to Grace. After all, Grace was like a mother figure to her. Naturally, she, as a daughter, would be pleased when her mother figure was given such wonderful gifts, especially since she herself had inspected the gifts beforehand.
Hence, Sonia had neither dissatisfaction nor problems with Toby giving these gifts to Grace. Neither had she thought of wanting these gifts for herself as well. However, she had not expected Toby to feel that his actions were inappropriate. Not to mention, for Toby to secretly prepare gifts that were much better than the ones given to Grace for her.
Without doubt, Sonia, as a woman, had her vanity utterly satisfied at this particular moment. She was moved, as joy filled every corner of her heart due to the fact that the man beside her could have such thoughts, which in turn proved how sincere and genuine he treated her. When these thoughts crossed her mind, the tip of her nose gradually reddened and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Looking at her red-rimmed eyes, Toby instantly panicked. “Why are you crying?” He reached his hands out and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Grabbing the man’s hand that was wiping her tears, Sonia smiled tearfully. “It’s because I’m happy. It’s because I never thought you would prepare these for me as well.”
Relieved, Toby chuckled. “You are the love of my life. How could I just prepare gifts for others but not for you? While we’re on that topic, if someone else has them, you would naturally have them as well. Not only that, but what you have will be much better. Since the ones Mrs. Lane had were premium editions, the ones I’ve gotten for you are all limited editions. So, do you like them?”
Sonia smiled at the man. “Since you’ve already said that much, wouldn’t it be insensitive if I said I didn’t like them?” Saying that, she immediately went toward him and embraced the man. “I love them. I can tell that you prepared all these sincerely. That’s why, I’m happy. Thank you, Toby.”
The man returned her embrace and planted a kiss on the top of her head. “As long as you’re happy. Then I assume you won’t refuse these gifts, right?”
Sonia shook her head. “I’ll accept them. After all, I can tell these gifts are filled with your heart for me. If I reject them, wouldn’t you be sad?”
Although he felt relieved, Toby kept his poker face and his silence. He always knew that Sonia would dislike him giving her expensive gifts, so he always practiced restraint when it came to her gifts. Otherwise, he would have practically given her a gift every day, and it would all be different ones at that.
Regardless, Toby was beside himself with apprehensiveness when he prepared these gifts, as he was worried that Sonia would not accept them. Fortunately, she did not reject this time.
“Want to open them now?” Toby gently released his embrace after a while.
However, Sonia shook her head. “Nope, I won’t open them now. I’ll take them back to the office and slowly open them one by one. I mean, if I were to walk into the office with all these gifts with me, I’m sure I’ll draw a few envious eyes on me, right?”
Ah, so she wants to brag about it. Toby chuckled before he gently brushed the bridge of her nose with his finger. “Alright, then bring them back to the office and slowly open them there.”
“Naturally.” Sonia raised her head proudly. “I just want to tell the others that these are all gifts from you so that the others would know you’re a good man. A good man that treats me very, very well.”
“If you go around showing me off like this, won’t you be afraid that other women would start eyeing me?” Toby frowned.
Sonia grunted in response. “There are already many women who have their eyes on you anyway, so what’s a few more? Not to mention, even if they do express their interest in you, you’re still going to be mine. Unless of course, they have the ability to steal you away from me.”
“Not a chance!” Toby immediately replied.
Sonia smiled and said with confidence, “And that’s why I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Looking at Sonia’s confidence, Toby knew that it was due to her trust in him. This fact alone was enough to warm the corners of his heart.
