Chapter 509 Toby’s Gift

Rose stared at Toby confusedly. “What is it?”

Toby didn’t respond to her question. “Her dress is stained. I’ll bring her to change into a new evening gown,” he said instead. Rose then realized the damp stain that was making Sonia’s dress stick to her skin. “You’re right,” Rose said while nodding. “Go on and get changed. You don’t want to catch a cold.”

“Come on.” Toby gave Sonia a nod. Sonia didn’t reject his offer and simply tagged along behind him. She did wish to get changed as the damp dress wasn’t just cold against her skin; it also felt sticky and reeked of alcohol, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Both of them walked toward the lounge. Zane didn’t go after them, but stood in his spot with his wine glass in his hand as he watched the tall man and the petite woman walking next to each other. A rather glum expression formed on Zane’s face as he realized how they seemed like a perfect match. I’m sure Sonia has caught feelings for Toby again! But it doesn’t look like she’s aware of it yet. Well, it looks like I won the bet. But why don’t I feel happy at all?

Once they got to the lounge, Toby opened the door to let Sonia in. “You can go in and take a shower. I’ll bring the evening gown over.”

“Alright. Thanks,” Sonia uttered before giving him a polite smile.

“Don’t worry about it,” he replied before turning and walking off. Sonia watched him disappear from the walkway once he turned a corner before she entered the lounge and shut the door behind her. Then, she took a shower in the washroom to get rid of the alcohol stench on her body.

Toby returned while she was still showering. The moment he let himself into the lounge, he heard the sound of running water coming from the washroom. He could see a blurry shadow of Sonia’s curvy figure when he glanced at the washroom’s frosted glass door. He could tell that she was showering from the way she moved, and his gaze darkened as he gulped. “I brought you your evening gown, Sonia,” he croaked in a deep voice.

Sonia wasn’t aware of the fact that Toby could see her figure, and she continued showering while she responded to him. “Sure. Just leave it outside the washroom.”
