Sonia heaved a sigh and waved at him. "Whatever. Let's just have dinner. I'm hungry."

"Then, after dinner, you'll have to let me continue this." Toby cupped her face with both hands and looked at her. He was worried that she was going to change her mind.

Sonia lifted her head with a resigned look in her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, sure."

She admitted defeat this time because she was the one who had said the wrong thing.

If she denied things and refused to agree, he would definitely pester her incessantly until she gave in, based on his stubborn spirit. Therefore, she might as well go along with it.

After all, she was no longer as shy and resistant as she used to be. She could now calmly agree to his request for pleasure.

Furthermore, he was indeed skillful; though she would always end up with a sore back, she undeniably enjoyed it very much as it was a pleasurable experience.

That was why even up till now, she was secretly tempted each time he requested some intimate time.

Ahh! This is shameful! I should stop thinking about all this! At that point, Sonia flushed bright red.

Toby, who was cupping her face, could feel the warmth of her face on his palms.

He let go of her face and noticed that her face was indeed flushed bright red, so he could not help staring dumbfounded for a few seconds. "What's going on in your mind? Why is your face so red?"

Like I would tell you! I ain't letting you get cheeky with it!


She lowered her head and quickly turned to the other side as she dragged out a chair in front of her to take a seat. "It's not important. Let's eat. Why do you keep dragging things?"

Although Sonia tried her best to mask her shyness and refused to tell him what was on her mind earlier, he knew that she must have blushed bright red because she had suddenly thought of something illicit. However, he was not sure of the extent of it.

As Toby realized that, he walked over and took a seat across the room from her.

Sonia heard his chuckle and she felt that he seemed to be aware of what was on her mind. Awkward, she quickly grabbed her utensils and tried to mask her emotions by stuffing herself.

Toby's smile deepened as soon as he noticed her reaction. He was just about to say something when his phone's ringtone cut him off.

With a frown, he clearly looked unhappy to get a phone call from someone at this moment.

In the end, he put down his fork and knife and took the phone into his hands.

As soon as he saw the name displayed on the caller ID, his eyes narrowed and the air around him seemed to turn still.

As soon as Sonia saw that, she could no longer be bothered about her shyness or awkward feelings, so she put down the utensils in her hand and expressed concern, "Who's on the line? Did something serious happen?" Why else would he suddenly reveal such a scary expression?

Toby shook his head slightly. "Nothing major happened, but this is because of the person on the line."

Toby shook his head slightly. "Nothing major happened, but this is because of the person on the line."

As he spoke, he handed over his phone to Sonia and showed her the identity of the other party.

As soon as Sonia noticed the name assigned to the number, she noticed that it was 'Mr. Lore' displayed on the screen, so she instantly understood why he had given such a huge reaction. The person on the line was Lynette's grandfather, Harry.

"Your mentor must have called at this time of the day because of the situation on the internet. Take the call. I wanna know what he has to say about that." Sonia put down her utensils as she leaned back on her chair and looked at Toby.

He shot a look at her with a frown on his face and he seemed to be hesitant whether to share the conversation with her.

After all, Toby was not sure whether Harry would repeat the words that he had said to him at the office earlier. If Sonia heard those remarks…

"Answer the phone," Sonia reminded him once again upon noticing that he had not reacted. "If you don't answer the phone right now, then he's going to hang up soon. Do you intend to return the call? If you do so, then he would definitely assume that you're not bothered about the incident."

That was true. If he ignored the other party and refused to make contact with them, then this would signify to the other party that he was indeed angry. However, if he chose to make contact with the other party, then that would be an indication that he was after a truce. As such, Harry would definitely behave even more presumptuously.

"I won't take the call, then." Toby kept his phone and rejected Harry's phone call. "There are some things that don't you don't need to listen to because it would only make you upset."

"So, are you saying that Mr. Lore has been badmouthing me?" Sonia lifted her brows questioningly.
