This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 839 Underestimated Their Relationship

Sonia had seen that sentence on the Internet and it now flashed across her mind again, as she found it very apt for the current situation between her and Toby.

Of course, Sonia knew that Toby’s current state was not an attempt to seduce her, but merely a result of the spicy food he had just eaten.

Toby could not tolerate spice at all. Just a little bit was enough to make him suffer, and this was an alarmingly spicy dish. Thus, Toby’s present state made it abundantly clear that he was really suffering from the spiciness this time. Otherwise, he would never look this vulnerable.

After all, Toby was always the picture of handsome masculinity. No one had ever seen such a fragile side of him. He looked as if he had been deeply hurt by someone.

Toby continued to be tortured by the spice, and Sonia quickly came back to her senses as she stopped herself from admiring his attractiveness. She briskly poured a glass of water and even got up to grab a few pieces of ice from the freezer.

“Here, have some iced water and you’ll feel better.” Once Sonia added the ice, she swiftly headed back to the couch and handed Toby the glass.

Toby removed the hand that was covering his reddened eyes which were beginning to water. He glanced at Sonia before reaching out for the glass of iced water and readily taking several large gulps.

His Adam’s apple bobbed with each gulp, and Sonia’s lips parted slightly. How dearly she wished to know how it would feel to touch it. But she knew that it was not the time to do such a thing. If she did it, then it would mean that she was trying to seduce this man.

What if she really did manage to seduce him, and they ended up doing the deed right there and then?

No touching, no touching. Sonia warned herself as shook her head and tried to rid her mind of these lustful thoughts. She moved her gaze back up to his face instead.

Once Toby had finished drinking, Sonia took the glass from him first before reaching out with a pair of tissues to wipe the sweat off his forehead. “Are you okay now?”

Toby shook his head and answered hoarsely, “Yes, I feel a lot better now.”

His breathing was indeed a lot calmer.

Sonia tossed the tissues away as she chided, “Really now, you shouldn’t have taken a bite if you can’t eat spicy food. Look at what happened to you just now…”

Just as she was speaking, she noticed how the spiciness had affected Toby. She could not help but chuckle as she took in his reddish lips, flushed face, and reddened eyes, as well as his hair that had gotten all sweaty.

Toby heard her laughter, he raised his eyebrows.
