Chapter 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.
When 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."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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

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 execution ground 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.
