Chapter 474 Toby Had Started to Matter to Her

Presently downstairs, Sonia finally snapped back to reality. She stood up and shot an annoyed look at Zane. “What are you doing?”

He was momentarily taken aback by her reaction. His eyes glimmered, and he drew his hand away. “I was helping you to wipe away the cream.”

To prove himself, he showed her the napkin and gestured at her to take a look.

Indeed, she noticed that there was a little bit of cream on it. Knowing that she had misunderstood him, she calmed down and took her seat. “Oh, you’re right. Sorry. I thought you wanted to—”

“You thought I wanted to take advantage of you?” Zane grinned at her.

Sonia pursed her lips at him without a word. “Anyway, you should stop acting that way. Others might misunderstand. You could tell me and let me do it myself.”

“It’s just a simple gesture to help you. No one’s going to misunderstand our relationship. But if you insist…” He shrugged nonchalantly, and though he seemed to have agreed, the disappointment he felt was indescribable.

He had planned to have her get used to his occasional flirtatious behavior, making his way to her heart until he could touch her heart one day. Therefore, her wariness was shocking to him—she did not give him even the slightest chance to flirt at all.

Looks like the journey to her heart is going to be a long one.

Flashing a bitter smile, he could only shake his head.

An hour later, they finished their meals. Sonia paid for the meal, had two pieces of strawberry cake to-go, and prepared to go home.

Stepping out of the restaurant, she was greeted by a blast of cold air that swept across her body and face. She couldn’t help but sneeze, and her body started trembling.

Seeing that, he hurriedly asked, “Are you cold?”

“Yeah, a little,” she nodded and replied before looking up at the sky.

The sky was dark, without any trace of a star and the moon. The darkness was rather depressing, and it seemed like rain was about to follow not long after. While thinking, she felt a weight on her shoulders, like something had been put on them.

She hurriedly looked down and found that a coat had been draped across her shoulders. It didn’t take long before she realized that the familiar coat was Zane’s.
