Chapter 988 Stripped in Front of Her
Sonia found herself unable to respond to that.
His words made perfect sense, so she was at a loss for words.
The reason why accidents were known as accidents was because they were unpredictable and unable to be anticipated; it could happen the next day or even the next second.
As she thought of that, she tugged his arm with a smile and spoke coyly, “Alright there. I’ll be sure to watch out from now on, so relax, alright?”
She tilted her head to look at him, looking all adorable.
He was not angry at all from the start; in fact, he only put on an angry look to make her realize that he was worried about her.
Now that she had realized on her own accord that it was wrong of her to act tough, she had also apologized for her mistake, which gave him no reason to continue with the act.
Moreover, he could not bear to keep it up any longer upon seeing her adorable look.
He freed up one hand and gently pinched her on the cheek before squishing her cheeks together. Her face was scrunched up from his move and even her lips were in a pout.
He lowered his head and kissed her hard on her pouty lips before letting go of her with a contented expression. “That’s enough. Let’s have lunch.”
She snorted at him in response.
Geez, this man! It’s so shameless of him to take advantage of me as soon as he gets the chance!
Toby noticed her slight gesture from the corner of his eye, but he did not expose her behavior. He merely curved his lips into a smile and clearly, he was in good spirits.
They approached the dining table and Toby pulled out a chair before placing her on it. Once she was comfortable in her seat, he then started to serve the dishes on the cart, one after the other.
He served the dishes while Sonia removed the cover from them.
They divided the work and were very much in sync with each other.
After he had placed all of the dishes on the table, she had also removed the covers from all of them; dainty little breakfast bites were revealed in front of them.
She pointed to the chair across from her. “Have a set. Let’s dive right in.”
He grunted in response, “Hold on, don’t rush.”
After he had said that, he twisted open a bottle of milk and poured some into a glass before placing it in front of her.
Once he had done that, he then pulled out the chair across from her and took a seat. “Let’s eat.”
She took a sip of milk and glanced at the breakfast spread in front of her. Suddenly, she smiled. “It’s 11.00AM right now, but we’re just about to have breakfast. We’re behaving too wilfully, aren’t we?”
Toby picked up a danish and placed it on her plate before responding calmly, “No. There are no specific ways of how life should be led from the start anyway. Rules were passed on by our forefathers, but who stipulated that we had to adhere strictly to them? At times, it would be a totally different experience to live life without adhering to the rules. That applies to having breakfast too. Doesn’t it feel different and special to have breakfast during lunchtime?”
“Indeed so.” Sonia picked up the danish handed over by Toby and took a bite from it before nodding.
He took a sip of coffee and continued, “However, though this may be true, it’s best to just experience such rebellious behavior once in a while. It would be wise to avoid doing so because if this becomes a habit, it would be detrimental to our stomach.”
“Obviously, I’d know that.” She lifted her eyes and shot a look at him nonchalantly.
As for Toby, he chuckled without saying anything else.
The couple continued to enjoy their brunch in silence thereafter.
After finishing the meal, it was nearly 12.00PM and they were due to check out.
Toby walked out of the bathroom after rinsing his mouth and he handed over an exquisite paper bag to Sonia.
She blinked and took it from him with a confused look. “What’s this?”
“A change of clothes,” he replied, “I got Tom to send them over in the morning.”
As soon as she heard that there was a change of clothing in the bag, she opened it to take a look and found a brand-new outfit inside from top to bottom.
She blushed. “There is underwear and a bra inside too. Mr. Brown…”
Toby realized what she was about to say and he spoke while untying the belt of the bathrobe around his waist. “No, the clothes were sent over from Skylark Tower. Have you forgotten that I’ve also prepared a walk-in wardrobe there filled with clothes for you? Some of the outfits are already matched out for you and placed into sealed bags for the convenience of grab-and-leave. That’s why when I sent Tom over to get us a change of clothes, he was able to grab a packed bag immediately.”
After hearing his explanation, Sonia finally felt relieved. “That’s good, then. I thought that he was the one who matched the outfit for me. It would be so awkward if that was the case. I would be embarrassed.”
“I can’t possibly allow that to happen. How can I allow another man to lay hands on your outfit?” Toby had already stripped his clothes and stood naked in front of her.
At that moment, Sonia’s eyes widened and her face flushed bright red. She yelped out and instantly covered her eyes. “Toby! Why are you so perverted?!”
He lifted his brows innocently and looked at the shy woman, who did not dare to cast eyes on him, with a bemused look. He took his sweet time reaching into the bag to grab his clothes before wearing them slowly.
“Why are you covering your eyes? You’ve seen all of this before. We had a great time last night as we left our skins bare, didn’t we?” He put on his pants as he spoke slowly.
She stomped her feet. “That’s different! Last night was… Gosh, I don’t want to talk about this. Just hurry up and put on your clothes.”
After she said that, she instantly turned her back at him.
Toby looked at the tip of her ears which were bright red and a burst of seductive laughter rumbled from his lips.
Evidently, her shy look was amusing to him and put him in good spirits.
He stopped teasing her and hastened up in putting on his clothes.
After he was done, he folded the cuff of his suit and said, “Alright, you can turn around now.”
She heard his words and lowered her hand from her face as she gradually turned around.
She noticed that he was indeed dressed and had not lied to her, so she was relieved by that. “You’re done, so it’s my turn now. I’ll get changed in the bathroom.” Subsequently, she turned around and raced off in the direction of the bathroom.
Perhaps she had regained some energy after breakfast, so her knees were no longer weak; she could at least take a few steps and walk briskly without any issue.
He smiled as he saw her retreating back and he took out his phone to instruct Tom to shift the car out of the parking lot, as they were about to head down shortly.
Sonia did not take too long to get changed and she was done in a few minutes. Next, she opened up her bag and took out some makeup products and quickly applied basic makeup.
Subsequently, she took a look at herself in the mirror to ensure that her makeup was flawless before stowing away her makeup kit into her bag. She then walked out of the bathroom with her bag in her hands.
Toby waited for her on the couch and he instantly put down the magazine in his hand as soon as he saw her walk out. “Are you done?”
“Yes, I am.” She nodded and headed in his direction.
He lifted his arm and his intention was quite evident.
Meanwhile, she smiled and did not disappoint him either. She held his arm graciously and walked through the doors of the room with him.
At that point, Tom was already waiting in the car by the front entrance and the couple saw him as soon as they walked out of the hotel doors.
After all, Toby’s car was a very special one, not only in Seafield but in the entire country too. It was also the case especially for his license plate number. Unsurprisingly, the car easily became the center of everyone’s attention.
Tom saw the two of them walk out and he quickly alighted from the car to greet them as he opened the car door for the couple.
Toby gestured for Sonia to get into the car first and he remained outside the car as he looked at Tom and asked, “How did the investigation go?”
“I’ve discovered some clues.” Tom shifted his glasses and replied solemnly, “Connor’s personal assistant paid a visit to Dwells and Rentoor.”
“Dwells and Rentoor?” Toby frowned. “What sort of places are those?”
Tom winced. “President Fuller, have you forgotten that these two companies were involved in collaboration work with Miss Reed previously, especially Rentoor? She had previously bought over the holiday resort about two months ago, but eventually, President Drew of Rentoor took over the place again.”
