Chapter 480 Tom’s Lament
As Sonia looked at the thermos on the table, an indescribable feeling started welling up within her, choking her up. After what Toby did, she didn’t know what she should do, nor did she have any idea how she could ever repay him. Should I just pretend this never happened? Should I never pay his kindness back just like Tom said? But if she didn’t do that, she’d forever owe Toby a favor. She’d never be able to take that off her.
Sonia never liked owing anyone any favors. If she did owe a favor, she’d try her best to pay them back as soon as possible, or it would never sit right with her. She’d lose sleep over it as well. I have to repay his kindness, or I’ll never live it down. But how should I do it? She sat down and massaged her forehead. I’m tired.
Suddenly, someone knocked on her door, breaking her train of thoughts. “Come in.” She looked up.
Charles opened the door and came in. “Are you busy, babe?”
“Why are you here?” She looked at him in surprise.
Charles went and sat across from her. “I’m waiting for you. Once you clock off, I’ll take you home. I thought you promised we’d see my mom today.”
“Oh, right. Almost forgot about that.” Sonia smiled sheepishly.
“It’s fine. That’s why I’m here—to remind you.” Charles waved her off, then noticed the thermos. “What is this, babe? Did you bring your own dinner?”
“No. This is some chicken soup for Toby.” Sonia shook her head.
The mere mention of Toby made Charles pout. “So it’s for him?”
“He’s hurt, and it’s just some soup.” Sonia looked at him.
