Chapter 1470Chapter 1470 Asking For It
Sonia's baby bump wasn't obvious at the moment, but one could clearly feel her belly protruding
slightly if they were to touch it, which indicated that the babies in her womb were growing with each
passing day.
There was quite some time before the babies started moving or were born, but Toby had the time and
patience to wait slowly for the birth of their children. "Good night, sweethearts," he whispered to Sonia's
belly. After pressing her to his chest, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It was the next day when they woke up.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookWhen Sonia opened her eyes, she found herself wrapped tightly in someone's arms; not only that, but
she also heard someone breathing. She turned around to see who it was, but she couldn't see anything
thanks to the gauze covering her eyes. However, she could smell the familiar breath and scent. After
being startled for a moment, she was pleasantly surprised. It's Toby! When did he come back? She
slowly reached for the man, touching his face and the furrows in his brow. It's true; I'm not imagining
things. So, he's really back!
"Naughty girl," Toby uttered directly without opening his eyes.
Startled, Sonia subconsciously tried to retract her hands.
However, the man caught hold of her hands as if having predicted this. Then, he opened his black
eyes, which crinkled in a faint, affectionate smile. "Teasing me as soon as you wake up, eh?" he said in
a deep, husky voice. Sonia shook her head, her face blushing. "No, that's not what I was doing! I just sensed someone next
to me and wanted to know if it was you. When did you wake up?" I thought he was still asleep, she
thought.
"I woke up the moment you touched me." Toby brought her hand to his lips and kissed it.
Sonia gave him a light smack. "I thought you'd woken up long ago and were purposely pretending to be
asleep to scare me."
"No, I won't do that." Toby shook his head before sitting up with her in his arms. He said, "You're
pregnant and can't get frightened, so I won't scare you."
"Mm-hmm," Sonia mumbled while leaning against his chest. "By the way, when did you come back?
Why didn't I hear anything from you?" He didn't tell her that he was coming back, nor did Mary tell her
about it.
Seeing through what she was thinking, Toby gently tucked her hair behind her ears. Then, he replied,
"It was a last-minute decision, so I didn't tell anyone, nor did Mary know about it. I just wanted to give
you a surprise, but you were already asleep when I arrived home. That's why I simply got into bed and
slept with you instead of waking you up."
"I see." Sonia nodded in understanding.
"So, how was it? Are you surprised?" asked Toby.
Sonia smiled. "Uh-huh, I'm very surprised. I thought you wouldn't be back for a few more days." "You just had an eye operation, no? I'm worried about you, so I came back as fast as I could."
"What are you worried about?" Sonia said. "It was just an eye operation, not some major surgery. It
wouldn't be dangerous or something."
"I know that, but any surgery that you undergo is very important to me, so I wanted to come back and
keep you company as soon as possible." Toby touched the gauze covering her eyes. "How are you
feeling right now?"
Sonia shook her head slightly. "Nothing."
Toby hugged her. "Good to hear that. If you feel unwell, you've got to tell me. Don't keep quiet about it."
Sonia stressed, "I got it."
"Oh, Young Master Toby and Young Mistress Sonia, you're both awake!" Mary came back from the
outside and was instantly delighted to see the affectionate couple sitting in bed in the arms of each
other while talking to each other.
Sonia greeted her, saying, "Hi, Madam Mary."
"Hi, Young Mistress Sonia," Mary replied. Then, she asked, "You two must be hungry after a good
night's sleep. I happened to have brought some fresh vegetables from the Fuller Residence, so how
about I make some savory vegetable oatmeal for you two? It's good to eat something lighter in the
morning." Sonia replied, "Just cook with what's available." Sonia wasn't really fussy about what to eat. She
couldn't eat a lot of food at the moment and would throw up whatever she ate, yet she could eat a little
of the food prepared by Mary, so she never interfered with the diet Mary prescribed for her.
Toby felt the same way. He wasn't very particular about what to eat and was fine as long as the food
was edible.
"Alright, then, I'll get it ready in a moment, so you two may wash up first. Young Master Toby, please
take good care of Young Mistress Sonia now that she can't see clearly," Mary urged.
Toby got out of bed and carried her out of it. "I got it." He would take good care of his wife, of course.
Seeing the couple happily go to the bathroom, Mary smiled and entered the kitchen with the vegetables
in hand.
By the time Sonia and Toby were done washing up, Mary's vegetable oatmeal was ready.
Toby carefully helped Sonia to the dining table. At first, he wanted to carry her there, but she refused to
let him do so. After all, she was only temporarily blind; it wasn't like she couldn't walk on her feet.
Furthermore, she couldn't get familiar with her surroundings with him carrying her around. If he were
away to deal with something, she would have no one to carry her around in case she wanted to do
anything, nor was she familiar with her surroundings. Wouldn't she be unable to do anything by then?
Toby understood this, too, so he didn't insist on carrying her around after she refused to let him do so.
Instead, he chose to help her to the dining table. Of course, he didn't forget to tell her along the way
what to watch out for and what was around them, while Sonia listened to him with rapt attention. Mary was gratified to see this.
After having breakfast, Toby took Sonia to the balcony to sun themselves. The days were getting
warmer and warmer, but the sun outside wasn't scorching hot today. The weather was just fine, so it felt
comfortable to bask in the sun.
Curling up in the swing chair, Sonia smiled faintly, looking like she enjoyed herself very much, whereas
Toby was handling work-related documents next to her. Neither of them spoke up or bothered each
other, but the warm affection between them was really enviable.
After taking a look at the couple, Mary took out her phone, took a picture of them, and sent it to Rose,
who was overjoyed to see it.
Just then, Toby's phone rang. He turned to look at Sonia to see if she was asleep.
Sonia was listening to music from her earphones when she heard the man's phone ring. Sitting up
slightly, she said to him, "It's okay, just answer the phone. I'm not asleep, so you won't disturb me."
Toby nodded. "Okay." He thought he would rouse her from sleep, which was why he turned to look at
her and was about to go inside to answer the phone. Now that she wasn't asleep, he would have no
qualms about answering the phone next to her.
The phone call was from Tom. Instead of holding the phone to his ear, Toby put the phone on speaker
so that Sonia could listen in. "What's the matter?" he asked.
Tom answered on the other end, "President Fuller, Lynette Lore has been marched to the executionground today."
The instant he said that, the fountain pen in Toby's hand stopped moving for a moment, and Sonia
immediately took off her earphones. "Why today? It's not time for her execution yet, isn't it?"
Toby also found this strange. He actually didn't know about this beforehand, nor did the police tell him
about this.
"It's been moved forward," Tom explained. "Those from above are about to hold a major competition in
Seafield around the time she's supposed to be executed, but they wanted to wish for good luck, so they
decided to execute that batch of death-row convicts ahead of time."
"I see." Toby raised his chin slightly, having understood the message.
Sonia smiled. "What rotten luck Lynette has." She could have lived for a while longer, yet she had to die
ahead of time.
"Rotten luck indeed, but she has only herself to blame for that," Toby said coldly while narrowing his
eyes.
Sonia didn't comment on his words, though.
