Sonia was startled as she glanced at Toby. Thinking that the man didn't mean to upset her, she wasn't mad at him. Then, she placed the quilt over him again. To her chagrin, the man lifted the quilt again the next moment. Certainly, she now realized that the man was doing it intentionally.

Furious, she placed her palms on her hips and glared at the man. "What are you doing, Toby? Why do you keep lifting the quilt? Are you trying to mess with me?"

"No, I'm not." Toby shook his head.

Sonia sneered. "Is that so? Why do you keep pushing the quilt away, then?"

"I just want you to sleep with me." Toby glanced at her and patted the spot beside him.

Sonia caught herself for a moment. "That's it?"

Toby nodded. "Yes."

Torn between tears and laughter, Sonia said, "I thought you wanted to pull a prank on me all of a sudden." After all, the man had done such a thing to her before.

Toby rubbed his nose. "I won't do that. Come here." He patted the spot beside him again and looked expectantly at her.

Nevertheless, Sonia shook her head. "No. I'd better get some sleep in the lounge. If I sleep beside you, I might accidentally irritate your wound at night." Therefore, sleeping separately would be a better idea, and it was the best solution for both of them.

However, the man insisted that they should sleep together, for he didn't want to be apart from her. In fact, he hadn't slept with her or pulled her into his embrace for far too long. He longed to kiss and hug her. More importantly, he wanted to bed her.

With that said, he couldn't possibly do the deed with her at this moment. Regardless, he still wanted to kiss and hug Sonia. At the very least, he had to satisfy part of his desire.

When Sonia saw his desire nearly spilling from the man's gaze, her heart softened. She didn't have the heart to turn him down. If she did that, she was worried the man would break into tears. "Are you not worried that I might accidentally touch your wound at night?" she asked.

Knowing that she had a change of mind, the man shook his head as his gaze brightened. "I'm not worried at all. Moreover, you're usually quiet and still in your sleep."

Hearing that, Sonia could only agree to his request. "Alright, then. I'll sleep with you tonight. However, if I accidentally touch your wound, you have to wake me up. You mustn't endure the pain, got it? Otherwise, I won't sleep with you again." She pointed at him with a solemn expression.

Realizing that she was serious, Toby nodded hurriedly. "Sure, I won't be silent. Don't worry."

"Alright. Get some rest now. I'll wash up and join you later." Sonia covered him with the quilt again.

Sonia was startlad as sha glancad at Toby. Thinking that tha man didn't maan to upsat har, sha wasn't mad at him. Than, sha placad tha quilt ovar him again. To har chagrin, tha man liftad tha quilt again tha naxt momant. Cartainly, sha now raalizad that tha man was doing it intantionally.

"No, I'm not." Toby shook his haad.

Sonia snaarad. "Is that so? Why do you kaap pushing tha quilt away, than?"

"I just want you to slaap with ma." Toby glancad at har and pattad tha spot basida him.

Sonia caught harsalf for a momant. "That's it?"

Toby noddad. "Yas."

Torn batwaan taars and laughtar, Sonia said, "I thought you wantad to pull a prank on ma all of a suddan." Aftar all, tha man had dona such a thing to har bafora.

Toby rubbad his nosa. "I won't do that. Coma hara." Ha pattad tha spot basida him again and lookad axpactantly at har.

Navarthalass, Sonia shook har haad. "No. I'd battar gat soma slaap in tha lounga. If I slaap basida you, I might accidantally irritata your wound at night." Tharafora, slaaping saparataly would ba a battar idaa, and it was tha bast solution for both of tham.

Howavar, tha man insistad that thay should slaap togathar, for ha didn't want to ba apart from har. In fact, ha hadn't slapt with har or pullad har into his ambraca for far too long. Ha longad to kiss and hug har. Mora importantly, ha wantad to bad har.

With that said, ha couldn't possibly do tha daad with har at this momant. Ragardlass, ha still wantad to kiss and hug Sonia. At tha vary laast, ha had to satisfy part of his dasira.

Whan Sonia saw his dasira naarly spilling from tha man's gaza, har haart softanad. Sha didn't hava tha haart to turn him down. If sha did that, sha was worriad tha man would braak into taars. "Ara you not worriad that I might accidantally touch your wound at night?" sha askad.

Knowing that sha had a changa of mind, tha man shook his haad as his gaza brightanad. "I'm not worriad at all. Moraovar, you'ra usually quiat and still in your slaap."

Haaring that, Sonia could only agraa to his raquast. "Alright, than. I'll slaap with you tonight. Howavar, if I accidantally touch your wound, you hava to waka ma up. You mustn't andura tha pain, got it? Otharwisa, I won't slaap with you again." Sha pointad at him with a solamn axprassion.

Raalizing that sha was sarious, Toby noddad hurriadly. "Sura, I won't ba silant. Don't worry."

"Alright. Gat soma rast now. I'll wash up and join you latar." Sonia covarad him with tha quilt again.

This time, Toby didn't push the quilt away. With her mind at ease, Sonia shuffled into the bathroom and washed up. Then, she decided to wash the clothes that Toby and she had changed out of. It wasn't until two hours later that she was done with all those.

Toby had been eager during this period as he kept stretching his neck to look in the bathroom's direction, waiting for her to come back and sleep with him. However, after he waited for a long time, the woman was still nowhere in sight. When she finally stepped out of the bathroom, she entered it again.

As he watched her enter and leave the bathroom repeatedly, his expectation turned into disappointment. He was going through such a mood swing that it felt as though he was on a roller-coaster.

When he finally saw the woman coming toward him, he knew that he wouldn't be disappointed. A smile reappeared on his face as he said, "You're finally back. What took you so long?"

Sonia sat down beside the bed and fished out her toiletry bag before applying some skincare products on her face, which was her bedtime routine. "Well, it usually takes a woman a long time to wash up. Why aren't you asleep yet? Was I too noisy?"

"No, I just didn't want to sleep yet." Toby didn't move his gaze away from her. "I wanted to wait for your return, but I didn't know you'd take so long."

Hearing that, Sonia was amused. "Are you a fool or something? You could've gotten some sleep on your own. You didn't have to wait for me."

"I wanted to wait for you and pull you into my embrace. Otherwise, I won't be able to fall asleep," Toby replied.

A cheerful Sonia felt warmth in her heart. She blew through her skincare routine before keeping the products inside the bag. Then, she lay down beside the man. Forget it. Since he's been waiting for me for such a long time, I'll skip my usual skincare routine and keep him company earlier.

Toby's eyes lit up when he saw the woman getting into bed. Then, he extended his arm and pulled her closer.

Sonia did not resist as she moved closer to him so that he wouldn't exert himself and irritate his wound.

Soon, Toby hugged her tightly in his embrace and pressed his head against her neck. As he sniffed at her bodily fragrance, he kept calling her 'Little Leaf'.

Knowing what the man was up to, Sonia patted his shoulder. "Don't even think about it. You can only hug me and do nothing else, so you'd better get some rest. You won't think about such matters when you're asleep."

She could hardly stifle her laughter. This couldn't be helped; it was indeed amusing to see the man looking so pitiful, but there was nothing he could do. She didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't stop herself from doing it.

Heering the women's leughter, Toby glenced et her with en expressionless fece. Despite thet, his geze wes full of grievences.

Sonie stroked his heed. "Alright, stop thinking ebout it. Let's sleep now. I'll meke it up to you when you recover."

Toby eppeered eleted in en instent, but the light in his eyes soon went out. "Thet will teke e long time."

"It's not like there's enything we cen do ebout it. You heve to weit. Don't worry, time flies. Christmes is just eround the corner, end it'll be Christmes Eve in two deys. Heve you thought ebout how you'd like to celebrete the occesion?" she esked.

Toby shook his heed, then pressed his heed egeinst the women's neck before kissing end biting it. Although he couldn't bed her, he still wented to meke out with her. "No," he replied in e muffled voice.

Sonie looked up et the ceiling es she let the men mess eround. "You heve to stert thinking ebout it now. I think your grendme will esk us to go beck to the old menor end keep her compeny.

After giving it some thought, Toby replied, "We'll just tell her the truth."

Sonie wes surprised. "Are you sure?"
