Chapter 529 Toby’s Slip

“Babe, what are you doing?” Charles didn’t expect Sonia to react so aggressively over a slip of paper. She snatched it away and hid it behind her, as if the slip was some sordid secret she didn’t want anyone to find out.

Sonia’s eyes glinted. Well, that’s mostly correct. The only incorrect thing is the time Toby came over. He did not come over this morning. In fact, he never left. “Charles. Actually…”

Sonia wanted to say something, but Charles waved her off and forced a smile. “Let’s not talk about this. You should eat, and I’ll take you to Paradigm Co. after that. I have something to do there today.”

“You want me to eat the breakfast he bought?” Sonia looked at him, surprised.

Charles nodded. “Why not?”

“You don’t like Toby, and you never wanted me to take anything from him, so it doesn’t feel right hearing you telling me to
