Chapter 810 Good News
Toby looked at Sonia with his unwavering eyes, without saying a single word. Suddenly, he turned around and faced away from her, speaking in a gloomy voice. “You’re just trying to tell me that I’m old after everything you said?”
She said I’m not like I used to be in my twenties. In other words, she is saying that my physical condition is getting worse than those in their twenties because the older we get, the more our health goes downhill. Therefore, I’m sure she is saying that I’m old.
Sonia’s lips stiffened as she was rendered speechless. No, that wasn’t what I meant, but why does he keep thinking that I’m saying he is old? Great, now he is pissed! Sonia rubbed her temples, feeling helpless yet amused. “No, that’s not what I meant. Please trust me.”
Nonetheless, Toby continued to ignore Sonia, facing away from her. Thus, she gently nudged his shoulder. “Hey, trust me. That’s really not what I meant.”
While Toby remained nonchalant, Sonia let out a sigh and hugged his shoulders, planting a kiss on his face. “Do you believe me now? If I had thought you were old, I would have left you long ago. I’m just worried about your health because you haven’t had a good rest for a while. Don’t forget—you’re not Superman. Your body is made of flesh and blood, so please take good care of your health. Furthermore, you can only feel energized with enough rest, don’t you think so?”
Soon, Toby sat straight and turned his face to the side, looking back at Sonia as he finally gave her a response. While Sonia heaved a sigh of relief, Toby gazed at her and said, “Give me one more kiss, and I’ll believe you didn’t mean it.”
Sonia raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “You really know how to push your luck and get what you want.” Despite her words, she kept her head down and planted a kiss on the man’s face.
It was then that Toby eventually turned around and wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her. “That’s more like it.”
Sonia helplessly shook her head. “So, can we sleep now?”
“Okay.” Toby nodded, thinking Sonia was right, as he could only feel energized with sufficient rest. Alright, I’ll sleep now and prove to her I’m not old tomorrow. I will let her know that a thirty-year-old man can be fitter than one in his twenties. At the thought of that, his eyes lit up for a split second before they were back to normal. Then, he closed his eyes while hugging Sonia in his embrace.
As Sonia was caught up in her thoughts, she was suddenly interrupted by another phone call. She then snapped out of her trance and reached for her phone, realizing it was Zane who was calling. It was then that she was reminded of how long she hadn’t met Zane ever since she rekindled the old flames with Toby. Not knowing what he was calling for, Sonia grabbed the chair and sat down before picking up the call. “Hello.”
“Sonia, I have good news for you.” Zane, who was sitting in his car, crossed his legs while holding his phone to his ear. At the same time, he was holding a file in his hand while tapping his knee with it, speaking in a rather casual tone,
Sonia appeared interested, asking with a smile, “Really? What’s the good news?”
“Didn’t you tell me to collect some genetic samples of some of the smartest people in the world earlier? I previously had someone visit a few overseas gene banks, and I have gathered what you want, so doesn’t that sound like some good news to you?” Zane set his eyes on the dossier on his knee with a smile.
Sonia paused, surprise written all over her face. “That’s some good news indeed.” In fact, she was hoping that Jessica could bear a child who could take over Paradigm Co. in the future, but deep down, she condemned Jessica for her wicked character and dim wit. Thus, she was counting on the father’s superior gene to be passed down to the child in terms of his appearance, character, and intelligence.
