Chapter 855 Tasty Wraps
“Besides, it’s nothing embarrassing anyway,” said Toby as he patted her shoulders lightly.
To him, pleasing one’s partner wasn’t something shameful that could hurt one’s pride. If pleasing one’s partner was
considered an embarrassment, one was either not completely in love or had fallen out of love.
It was anyone’s bliss to make their partners smile in joy. Thus, Toby wished Sonia wouldn’t overthink him doing
those actions just to make her happy.
She stared at him and rested her head on his chest in the end. “What can I say when you’ve told me this? But you
still haven’t told me how you found out I entered the kitchen. I crept so quietly.”
She swayed her body slightly as she hugged him, acting all cutesy. If he didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t stop.
The glint in Toby’s eyes changed at the sight of her affectionate actions. He gulped as his voice turned husky.
“Alright, alright. Stop swaying. I’ll tell you. Don’t you know you’re playing with fire acting like this? I can’t help but
think that you want it.”
It was natural for some parts of their body to rub against each other if she hugged him while moving like that. He
was wearing only a thin shirt and thus could feel more of the sensation from the physical affection.
If it weren’t for his rationality, knowing that he was in the kitchen to make her food, he would’ve just hovered over
her and showered her with kisses in the face of such temptation. Only then would she learn her lesson that she
shouldn’t mess with a man that easily.
“W-Who’s playing with fire? Stop spouting nonsense.” Sonia finally realized her actions were akin to arousing a
beast from its slumber when she noticed Toby’s red-rimmed eyes. Now that she was frantic with fear, the panic and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtawkward Sonia let go of the man’s waist at that instant in her attempt to retreat from his embrace.
“Where are you running to?” Since he knew her intentions, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms once
again. He tightened his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder. His voice sounded gruffer as he
spoke, “You’re the one who turned me on. How could you just run away without helping me out? That’s
irresponsible of you.”
As his minty scent filled her nostrils, her flushed cheeks turned crimson. “When did I tease you? Stop spouting
nonsense.”
“You didn’t? Really?” Toby raised his brow as his hands around her began to slide downward.
Sonia’s face changed abruptly, clearly knowing what he was up to. “Hold on! Wait! Wait! Toby! Don’t you dare!”
“Dare what?” He played innocent, staring at her with those innocuous eyes.
She rolled her eyes. Why don’t you look at your hands and repeat that? You’re one shameless man.
As though he could read her mind, he snickered in an undertone. It was sexy and seductive. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop.
Just let me hug you for a while to calm myself down.”
Sonia gave him a doubtful look. It was apparent she didn’t believe that he would let her off that easily after
something as simple as a hug.
She trusted him in everything else but not in this matter. He did not show mercy on her on those few nights.
Several times, she begged him to stop and let her go. He said ‘yes’ and promised to stop after one last time. Yet,
what happened in the end?
He wanted her again after that ‘one last time’. It was an endless cycle. With that in mind, she would never believe
his words about this aspect of their relationship.
Aware of the incredulity glint in Sonia’s eyes, Toby smiled and shook his head helplessly. He didn’t expect her to
perceive him as a man who couldn’t keep his promises.
“I promise. I’m not lying. Just a hug is enough; I won’t do anything to you,” he reassured her, gently stroking her
hair.
Since she couldn’t free herself, she had no choice but to trust him and relented.
This time, Toby kept his promise. The hug lasted for a short while. Needless to say, he seized the chance to take
advantage of her, whereas Sonia rolled her eyes the whole time because of his naughty hands wandering her body.
The man inhaled her lingering scent. “Didn’t you ask how I noticed you entered the kitchen?”
Her body straightened in a heartbeat upon his words because she was confident that she didn’t make a single noise
while coming in. Furthermore, he was paying total attention to the food. There was no way he could notice her
approaching. However, he realized it, all the same, making her wonder how he could possibly know that.
He smiled as he looked at her perplexed face. “I didn’t notice at first since I was focusing on making the wraps. But
when you came closer, I could smell your perfume. That was why I knew.”
“Perfume?” Sonia was in a daze, not expecting to expose herself with her perfume.
She raised her arm and sniffed herself. She smelled something pleasant, but it was a faint scent. One wouldn’t
notice without a deep inhale at a close distance.
However, Toby caught the whiff of it at a relatively far distance. Does he possibly have any supernatural powers?
Otherwise, how could he pick up such a faint smell from afar?
As she was absorbed in her musing, there was a flicker of surprise in her gaze that was fixated on him.
At the same time, he saw through her at once. It was easy to read her mind as her expression gave it all away.
He slightly raised his head. “I have a good sense of smell. So, as long as it’s not too far from me, I can pick up the
smell even if it’s faint.”
“I see.” Sonia nodded upon realization. “So, this must be your talent. It ain’t easy for one to have an exceptional
sense of smell.”
Her musings humored Toby as he chuckled. “Probably. You can leave the kitchen first. It’ll be ready in minutes.”
“No. I wanna stay here with you,” she refused while shaking her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince it was her wish, he didn’t insist. Instead, after he spared her a glance, he turned on the stove and continued
making the wraps. Meanwhile, she stood next to him with her eyes focused on him.
His hands glided smoothly while making the wraps, and he didn’t seem like a total beginner in making them at all.
Even so, she didn’t doubt him because she knew he was a fast learner.
Sonia stayed seated in the kitchen for about ten minutes before a scrumptious wrap was done. It was a premium
meal with eggs, vegetables, and meat.
Toby held it with a baking paper and handed it to her. “Dig in.”
“Thanks.” She smiled as she took it over. Then, after having a bite of it, her eyes twinkled brightly. “It’s amazing! It’s
much better than mine.”
After he listened to her showering him with compliments, he couldn’t help but smile. “Glad to hear that. We should
hit the road now. You can have it slowly in the car.”
Sonia hummed and gave him a nod. Then, with a wrap in one of her hands and his hand holding the other, she and
Toby left the apartment.
He drove slower than usual to make sure she didn’t finish it in a hurry. If he were to rush to the police station, she
might choke herself while trying to finish the snack. Nothing would come good from that, for his heart would end up
suffering anyway.
Therefore, the car was moving at a slower speed. It took them almost an hour when it was a mere 30 minutes ride,
where his tortoise speed even irritated some drivers on the road. However, they didn’t dare to slam the honk. All
they could do was curse at him in their own cars.
After all, they had no guts to pick on the owner of a luxurious car. What if it was scratched? They didn’t have the
money to repay for the damage.
At long last, Sonia and Toby arrived at the police station, after which they got out of the car and went inside.
