Chapter 634 A Boring Movie
Aren’t these the seats that are trending on the Internet for being in the darkest and most remote corners of the cinema? However, couples love to buy such seats because they can do anything here without anyone noticing. That being said, Sonia never expected that Toby would allow Tom to pick these seats. What was Toby thinking? He isn’t actually trying to follow the example of those couples and take advantage of me while the movie is playing, right?
Since the movie hadn’t started yet and the lights in the cinema were still on, Toby was able to see from what Sonia was thinking from her gaze alone. Therefore, he quickly shook his head. “I didn’t do this. Tom bought the tickets himself.”
This time, he was telling the truth. The two seats were in fact picked by Tom himself. Toby had never watched a movie in a cinema before, so he wouldn’t know how the seats in a cinema were arranged. Hence, it was impossible for him to ask Tom to buy these seats specifically.
Even though this was Tom’s idea, Toby was quite satisfied with the seats the former chose.
Other than us, there won’t be anyone sitting in this row. I don’t like sitting with strangers and it’s peaceful with just the two of us. Most importantly, if I really want to do something with her, no one will notice.
A faint light flashed across his eyes and quickly disappeared when he thought of that.
“Did Tom really buy these tickets himself?” Sonia narrowed her eyes at the man.
Why is she not believing me? Toby nodded slightly with a serious expression. “Yes. You can ask him after the movie.”
She rolled her eyes at him and sat down. “Forget it. Even if I ask him, he will still lie to me. After all, he is your subordinate, so he’ll definitely help you.”
“It really wasn’t me.” Toby sat down while his eyes held a tinge of grievance.
Sonia just placed her juice in the holder and handed him the popcorn. “Alright, alright. Do you want some popcorn?”
He lowered his head to look at the golden popcorn in front of him. Smelling the cheap creamy scent of the popcorn, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Truth was, he had lost his appetite after smelling the scent.
However, he still grabbed some to eat just since it was Sonia who offered him. He was a man who loved his wife unconditionally, even though technically speaking, she had not remarried him yet. Therefore, Toby reached out and picked up a popcorn before putting it in his mouth. As soon as he tasted the flavor of manufactured sugar in his mouth, he immediately pursed his thin lips. He then swallowed the popcorn with difficulty and saw Sonia grabbing one to put into her mouth too.
“Don’t eat too much.” He reminded her as he opened a bottle and drank some water to flush away the sweetness in his mouth.
She looked at him and asked, “Why?”
“There are a lot of preservatives in this popcorn that aren’t good for your body if you eat too much. If you like to eat popcorn, I can ask my chef to make some healthy ones for you.” He closed his water bottle and put it aside.
Listening to him, she chuckled. “I know, but let’s not worry too much when we’re going out for fun. I know how much my body can handle, so I won’t finish it all. Besides, I personally don’t like to eat these snacks but since you bought them for me, it would be such a waste if I don’t eat some of it.”
“I bought this for you just because I saw everyone else with it and I didn’t want you to miss out, but I didn’t think it would taste that bad.” Toby frowned in disgust.
“This is what the food tastes like outside. Besides, you can’t expect it to be delicious given how cheap its price is. It’s okay to have a few handfuls.” With that, Sonia picked up another one and put it in her mouth.
Initially, Toby wanted to stop her but after seeing how happy she looked, he decided to let it go. I think I should keep an eye on her and make sure that she eats less. It’s fine as long as she doesn’t finish the whole box.
All of a sudden, the lights in the cinema dimmed and the screen lit up. Quickly, Sonia put down her popcorn and reminded the man beside her, “Put on your glasses. The movie is about to start.”
Lowering his head to look at the glasses in his hand, Toby was disgusted by its poor quality. How are these glasses going to bring out a high quality 4D effect? I’m afraid that it will only be able to showcase just a little.
As he thought about it, he put on the glasses and looked at the screen in front. Sure enough, the 4D effects displayed were terrible. He was only able to see the characters in the movie not far in front of him, instead of having the immersive experience of being in the movie. If I knew how bad this is, I would just bring her to my own theater.
In the end, Toby threw his glasses to the side, not having the interest to watch the movie. Truth be told, he had no interest in such a film at all, and he came here just to experience what it was like to date as a normal couple with Sonia.
After all, like Tom said, couples would go on dates at places such as cinemas and theme parks. Therefore, Toby wanted to give Sonia the same romantic experience like how other boyfriends would give to their girlfriends.
Although he was copying other people’s ideas, at least she wouldn’t be left with no memories at all. Since Toby was not interested in the movie, he supported his head with his hand and looked at the woman beside him. She was wearing the 4D glasses, so he couldn’t see her eyes. However, from her straightened back and motionless body, it was clear that she was enjoying the movie.
It seems like I’ve made the right choice by buying tickets for this movie. Just from thinking about it, he revealed a light smile.
Although they were in the dark, Toby was looking at her with a gaze so bright that it was impossible for Sonia to not notice him. Therefore, she turned toward him and took off her glasses, thereafter facing the man’s gentle gaze. “Why are you looking at me instead of the movie? Am I more interesting than the movie?”
He nodded with a serious face. “Yes. You’re far more interesting than the movie.”
Toby had no interest in the movie since it was just a bitter drama. Throughout the movie, the characters were always sobbing and moaning, which annoyed him to no end. What’s so great about this movie? It feels very cheesy.
However, Sonia was different. No matter how long he stared at her, he would never get bored of her. There it is. He’s being flirty again. How did he come up with such an absurd comparison?
However, she was quite happy to hear what he said. It was normal for women to have a little vanity inside their hearts. After all, who didn’t like being praised, especially by someone you liked?
“Uh…” Sonia blushed a little, but it wasn’t noticeable in the dark. Then, she coughed slightly and whispered, “Okay. You can stop looking at me and watch the movie now. I can’t watch the movie if you keep on staring at me.”
His gaze was so intense that it would make her feel uncomfortable, knowing that he was staring at her. Then, her attention would slowly shift from the movie to him.
Upon hearing that, Toby nodded and promised, “Okay. I’ll stop looking at you. You can watch the movie.” To gain her trust, he put back the glasses and turned back around.
Seeing him turning around, Sonia also put her glasses back on and continued watching the movie.
Toby forced himself to watch the movie for a little while but in the end, he couldn’t stand it, so he took off the glasses. At that point, his expression was emotionless. I still think this movie is terrible. I can’t believe she is still watching it! Not only that, she also seems touched by the movie, given that she has a tissue in her hand. Come on! It’s not even real! Toby felt resigned at that moment, but his gaze was still filled with love.
Not knowing that she was being ridiculed by him, Sonia wiped the tears from under her glasses using the tissue. As soon as she removed the tissue after wiping her tears, she suddenly felt something heavy on her shoulder.
