Chapter 861 It Finally Came

”But…” Sonia instantly lifted her head from his shoulder upon hearing what he said. As she looked at his attractive face, she was tempted to do as told.

The next moment, she quickly shook her head and rejected. ”It’s alright. Anya might be arriving soon.”

”What if she doesn’t?” Toby asked her.

She rolled her eyes at him as she replied, ”You always disagree with me.”

”That isn’t my intention. Don’t you think that there might be a chance that Anya might not turn up? Toby looked at Sonia earnestly. ”How are we to know whether she’d come for sure? What if she doesn’t? Are you going to keep trying to stay awake while waiting for her? Don’t you feel groggy?”

Sonia didn’t know how to reply when she heard the logical points he made. Of course, she felt groggy. She was so tired that she felt light-headed.

He sighed and pulled her into his arms when he noticed that she was so tired that she might fall asleep at a moment’s notice. Then, he gently arranged her, so her head was laid on his lap. ”Have some sleep. It doesn’t matter when she reaches. Just sleep while we have time. How would you have the energy to face her later if you lack rest? You might not have the energy to confront her.”

Sonia nodded thoughtfully when she heard his suggestions. ”What you said makes sense, and you’ve successfully convinced me. Okay, I’ll take a nap. Wake me up once she is here?

”Yes, I will.” Toby nodded slightly and said, ”I’m here, so just sleep.”

Toby’s words gave Sonia a sense of security. Then, she smiled as she shut her eyes and mumbled softly, ”Fine, I’ll take a nap, but don’t you feel tired?”

”I’m not tired,” he replied gently as he stroked her long, silky hair. ”Haven’t I told you before that I can stay up for two consecutive nights without issues? As of now, it hasn’t been that long yet.”

”Alright, you’re incredible. I can’t do something like that. Just remember to wake me up.”

Sonia yawned once again after completing her sentence and closed her eyes at ease.

Soon, her breathing deepened and slowed as she fell asleep.

Toby smiled as he looked at her while gently touching her face with the back of his hand.

She truly was one of a kind, being able to fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
