Chapter 766 Sonia’s Complaint
“Really.” Toby nodded.
“Good.” Sonia finally let him go.
The man curved his lips into a light smile, but Sonia suddenly thought of something as a glint flitted across her eyes. Then, she looked at him with a half-smile. “Right, don’t you want to know about the woman who caused this accident?”
Toby frowned. “Why would I?”
“Because she’s also one of the main characters in this incident.” Sonia continued staring at him.
Toby’s brow raised a little, for he had a bad feeling about this. She seems to have something on her mind.
“No matter who she is, Tom will take care of it,” Toby parted his thin lips and said calmly. “He’ll sort out the compensation or go to court if necessary.”
She was just a careless person who ran the red light. He wouldn’t get revenge on her like some kind of sworn enemy, but he also wouldn’t be so kind as to let her go without asking for some compensation.
“You say that, but I think Tom isn’t capable of handling this incident,” Sonia said teasingly.
Toby’s frown grew deeper. “What do you mean?”
Sonia stopped teasing him and gave him a resentful look as she answered, “I mean, that woman might have fallen for you.”
“What?” Toby was stunned.
Sonia rolled her eyes, then grabbed his ear and shouted in a louder voice, “I said, that woman fell for you! Aren’t you glad?”
Toby was dumbfounded, and he finally recovered his senses after a while. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, “What on earth?”
“It’s true.” Sonia pouted. “That woman fell for you.”
Seeing Sonia’s upset expression, Toby reached out and pinched her face lightly. “Come on, quit joking. Do you think I told Tom to swerve away simply because the person on the road was a woman? You think I might like her a little, so you’re saying this to test me?”
Sonia couldn’t help but laugh in annoyance at what he said. “Who’s testing you? I don’t have the time for that. I mean it, that woman really fell for you.”
She sounded jealous, but her earnestness was obvious as well. Toby’s expression sank as he realized she really wasn’t joking. In an instant. his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. “That woman—”
Before he could finish, Sonia said, “It’s understandable. You’re talented and rich and handsome, and it’d be weirder if the woman didn’t fall for you. It’s about time you realize your own charm, right, Mr. Fuller?”
Mr. Fuller? He let out a low chuckle as he looked at her with an earnest gaze. “I work my charm on you and you alone.”
As a reply, Sonia snorted. “Yeah, right? If it’s just me, then how do you explain that woman? How do you explain Jessica? And all the rich young ladies in the field? Those netizens calling you their husband? Try explaining that to me.”
Toby went silent, for he had no words to say. A long while later, he finally moved his thin lips and said, “They were probably blind.”
“Pfft!” Toby’s words caught Sonia by surprise, and she let out a laugh.
Seeing her joyful laugh, Toby knew she had stopped sulking, so he let out a tiny sigh of relief.
A minute later, Sonia finally stopped laughing. She wiped away the tears produced from all the laughing as she looked at him. “I never thought you would explain your charm in such a self-deprecating way. But you made me laugh, so I’ll forgive you this time.”
Toby laughed as well. “Thank you so much, Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty?” Sonia raised an eyebrow, then said smilingly, “Not bad. I like it.”
The two bantered for a while, and Toby went back to the topic at hand. “Right. How are you so sure that the woman had her eyes on me? You’ve met her?”
“Of course.” Sonia humphed. “It’s exactly because I’ve met her that I knew she fell for you. When I arrived, she was sitting beside you and wiping your face, taking good care of you. She was so serious about it. When I came in, I told her I was your girlfriend. Usually, when someone hears that the man’s girlfriend has arrived, they will move away and make some space in case the girlfriend misunderstands. But she didn’t even try to leave and even told me not to mind her.”
At that, her expression grew cold. “But wait, there’s more. After that, she cried in front of me and she told me she had to take care of you. She said that if I shooed her away, she might jump off a building or something. She’s challenging and threatening me! I’ve never seen such a b*tch like her before!”
Toby held her hand tightly. “Sorry for making you go through all this humiliation.”
He never thought that the love of his life would get humiliated just because of his momentary act of kindness in letting the woman leave unscathed. If he had known things would turn out like this, he’d let Tom run over her.
At that thought, Toby allowed a cold gleam to flit across his eyes. Sonia didn’t know what he was thinking as she shook her head. “It’s not much of a humiliation. Besides, I’m a new person now, and I will never allow myself to be humiliated. I pushed the woman away in the end.”
“Oh?” Toby was curious. “How did you do it?”
“I grabbed her wheelchair and pushed her forward. Simple. She moved.” Sonia lifted her chin in glee. “You should’ve seen the flabbergasted look on her face. Ah! It was so amusing!”
When Toby saw the brilliant smile in Sonia’s eyes as she talked, he was so full of tenderness it almost spilled out of his eyes. “Even though I didn’t see it, I can still imagine that. Good job!”
“Of course!” Sonia lifted her chin higher.
Seeing that, Toby reached out and gently scratched her like he was scratching a cat.
Sonia slapped his hand away, pouting. “What are you doing?”
Toby just smiled. “You looked very cute just now.”
“That goes without saying.” Sonia eyed him, squinting.
Toby caressed her hair, then asked, “Right, where’s Tom when it happened? Where did he go? He let the woman into my ward, but he himself went missing.”
Toby didn’t look too happy when he said that, obviously dissatisfied with Tom’s absence.
Sonia leaned against his chest. “Don’t blame Tom. He went to deal with the formalities in your stead. Before he went, he told the woman not to barge into your ward, but she didn’t listen. She sneaked in while Tom was gone, and then I came in. Tom returned soon after that, and then he took the woman away. I don’t know where he took her or what he did to her; I never asked, and I don’t even want to know.”
Hearing Sonia’s words, Toby finally relaxed his expression a little.
At this moment, Sonia yawned as drowsiness took over her. Toby could see the sleepiness in her eyes, so he pulled her closer to him. “Sleepy already?”
“Always have been.” Sonia covered her mouth and yawned again as she said, “If I weren’t so careful about waking you up, I would’ve been sound asleep by now.”
Toby smiled lightly. “My fault. Continue sleeping, then. I won’t bother you anymore.”
“What about you?” Sonia looked up at him.
Toby’s gaze met hers. “I’ll sleep too.”
“Sure.” Sonia nodded, then closed her eyes.
Toby caressed her cheeks, then shut his eyes as well. However, right before his eyes closed, there was a spine-chilling glare within them.
