Chapter 919 What Are You Going to Do?
“I won’t lie to you.” Toby smiled as well as he looked into her eyes. “I didn’t want you or Mrs. Lane and the others to wait too long. So, the chopper is my best option.”
They had agreed to go to Lane Residence at seven, but it was already 6.30PM when he left the old manor. So he was certain they wouldn’t be able to show up at seven sharp no matter how.
Though they were already late, he didn’t choose to go to seed but instead had someone fly a helicopter to take him here.
At least they could head there a little earlier and not show up too late.
“I had no idea you would show up like this. I didn’t believe you at all when you said you’ll arrive in ten to twenty minutes.” At that, Sonia shrugged. “Looks like I’ll have to think a degree higher at everything you do so that it’ll be more realistic,” she said while raising a hand above her head, looking exceptionally adorable.
Toby jumped out of the helicopter upon seeing her and pulled her into his arms. “Are you afraid to sit in a helicopter?”
At that, Sonia looked up at him. “You’re not planning on going there, are you?”
He nodded in response, indicating it was precisely his thought. “It’ll be faster. We might not be able to get there at seven sharp, but we can at about a quarter after seven. We won’t be too late.”
After all, it was already a little over seven.
However, Sonia shook her head. “Uh-uh. Yes, it’s faster if we take the chopper, but Lane Residence doesn’t have a landing pad, and I don’t dare to climb down the rope ladder on my own. My Legs will give in. So let’s just drive. Don’t worry. I’ve already told Mrs. Lane we’ll be there late. She’s okay with it as well. She won’t blame us for being late; she isn’t unreasonable. I told her we’re late because you’re keeping Grandma company, and she even praised you for being a sweet grandson.”
“Really?” Toby looked at her and asked.
Sonia nodded in response. “Of course! Why would I need to lie? Alright, let me go. Stop hugging. People are watching.”
Following that, she looked bashfully toward the pilot and two bodyguards inside the helicopter.
Oh dear, they were looking right at us when Toby pulled me into his arms!
She wanted to pretend she couldn’t see them at first.
But their gossipy gazes were too intense. She couldn’t convince herself.
So, she decided to throw the idea away and shove Toby lightly, telling him to let go.
After all, she didn’t have a kink for others to watch her and her man smooch.
Toby naturally knew who she was referring to, and with that, he released her and shot a glare toward the helicopter.
The guys inside instantly felt a chill down their spines, and they all hurriedly looked down, no longer daring to gossip.
Sonia burst into a chuckle upon seeing their reaction. “Alright, don’t scare them anymore. Let’s go. It’s quite windy up here. I’m a little chilly,” she said after exhaling a cold breath while tucking her neck.
Toby reflexively turned his attention back to her at that, and held her hand, leading her to the metal door.
As for the guys in the helicopter, they could sort themselves out, for they wouldn’t be needed for the rest of the night.
The metal door blocked the cold wind, and Sonia finally let out a deep breath. Her tensed muscles had also relaxed a little, no longer feeling cold.
However, Toby still pulled her hands to his mouth, breathing warm air at her freezing hands.
After a few breaths, he even rubbed them, wanting to warm up her hands quickly.
Sonia’s heart melted at the sight of him being so lovely to her, and the smile on her face was even a sight to behold. “Alright, that’s enough rubbing. My hands are warm now. Any more and my skin will peel.”
Peel?!
Toby froze upon hearing her words, and he hurriedly checked her hands to see if he had really rubbed a layer of skin off of her.
Seeing that he was freaking out, believing what she said was true, she withdrew her hand, laughing and feeling a little bad for him. “What are you doing? I’m only messing with you. I can’t believe you actually took it seriously. C’mon, let’s go.”
She rolled her eyes while smiling as she passed him, continuing down the stairs.
Toby, on the other hand, watched her leave with pursed lips. Feeling irked, his gaze was filled with playful malice. “Someone’s being brave, aren’t they?”
At that, Sonia stopped in her tracks and looked back at him. “So? What are you going to do, stop me?”
Then, she stuck her tongue out playfully, provoking him.
Toby’s gaze turned dangerous in response, and he curled his lips into a fearful smile while his voice deepened. “What am I going to do?” He sneered at that. “Why don’t we find out?”
With that, he strode to her with darkness surging beneath his eyes, fear-evoking.
A bad feeling instantly arose within Sonia, knowing that her provocation had stirred him. Without a second thought, she turned and ran away.
Seeing how she dashed, he sneered, “Trying to run away I see.”
This little bunny thinks she can escape, dream on!
With that, he quickened his pace and chased after her.
Though Sonia’s legs were considered long amongst women, they were still short compared to men’s. What was more, she was wearing heels, so she had to be extra careful going down the stairs, and thus, she could barely run.
Because of that, Toby caught up to her in seconds, and he immediately bent over to hug her calves, scooping her up in one swift motion.
Sonia reflexively screamed upon the sudden levitation. “Ah! What are you doing, Fuller!?”
Toby didn’t answer her. Instead, he took a glance at her before throwing her over his shoulder, carrying her away like he was carrying a bag of cement.
As he walked, he even gave her butt a couple of smacks. “Do you still dare to say there’s nothing I can do about you, huh?”
The way her stomach pressed against his shoulder made her super uncomfortable, but she couldn’t care less about that now, for her face was flushing bright red.
It was due to blood rushing to her face from being upside down, and also because he smacked her butt.
Never had she thought she would one day be smacked in the butt after becoming an adult.
Mortified, she pounded Toby’s back while struggling to look toward him. “Toby Fuller, put me down this instance. We’re in my company. It’ll be bad if people see us like this!”
“What’s the big deal?” Toby brushed her off, carrying her firmly on one shoulder with an arm around her thighs, looking like the reincarnation of Hercules.
“We’re a couple; everything we do is legal, so there’s nothing bad about this. Anyone who thinks so is only jealous.” He turned around as he spoke, seemingly wanting to look at her.
However, her torso was completely behind his back, so he wasn’t able to see her face even if he turned.
However, he could imagine what she looked like in that instance.
Surely, it was bright red from embarrassment.
Sonia, on the other hand, turned exasperated upon hearing his dismissive words. “Are you playing dumb with me, Fuller? I meant I don’t want people to see us like this when I said it’s bad! How embarrassing.”
“What is there to be embarrassed about? As I said, we’re a couple; everything we do is normal. You’re way too bashful. It’s good that people see us like this sometimes. Build up your nerves so that you won’t be so bashful anymore,” Toby said with a straight face.
