Chapter 1111
She's such a vixen! Toby lowered his dark eyes and could not help it as he stuck his tongue against the upper part of
his mouth.
He clearly did not expect her to act coyly just for ice cream. This time, she had actually behaved coyly in front of
the public.
He had always known that she was generally shy and reserved. Normally, when he gave her a peck in public, she
would blush bright red for some time, so it was near impossible for her to behave coyly of her own accord.
Of course, this did not mean that she had never shown her cute side in front of him. In fact, she had, but it was a
rare occurrence. Ever since they got back together, she had done that not more than three times as far as he
could remember.
Each time she did so, it was just a slight coy act and he had not even gotten the chance to enjoy it before it came to
an end. Therefore, he was surprised that this time, she had persistently shown her coy side for such a long time. All
that for the sake of a pint of ice cream!
Doesn't she realize that it's hard for a man to resist such behavior? These are seductive actions here!
Toby's grip on the handle of the cart tightened and relaxed several times before he finally succeeded in suppressing
his urges. He glanced at her with a smoldering look in his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Stop that. Stop
swinging my arm."
He was worried that if she kept this up, he would not be able to resist himself. After all, he always found that she
was a weak spot of his and he could not seem to resist her.
As soon as she heard his words and saw the look in his eyes, which resembled a wolf eyeing its prey, she felt a chill
running down her spine if she was honest to herself.
After all, she was not an idiot and she clearly knew the potential outcome of her behavior. Besides, she was afraid
that he would not be able to resist the temptation and take action right there and then. As such, as soon as he told
her to stop, she acceded to his words and stopped.
Relieved, the man heaved a faint sigh. Subsequently, he let go of one hand from the cart and grabbed Sonia on her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchin as he inched closer to speak hoarsely, "Little Leaf, I can't believe that you would try seduction to make me give
in to you, all for the sake of a pint of ice cream."
"I-I didn't seduce you!" Sonia refused to admit it, but she shiftily turned her eyes in the other direction.
He chuckled in a low voice and his laughter came rumbling from his chest. The exceptionally low and melodious
voice made Sonia shiver involuntarily as she felt her legs turn to jelly.
Gosh, this man is such a...
"Are you sure you didn't?" Toby narrowed his long, almond-shaped eyes slightly. "Then, explain what you were doing
before this."
"I was just showing my affection," Sonia replied and quickly shot a look at him. Indeed, she was not lying and she
was just showing her coy side earlier.
Subsequently, he chuckled in a low voice. "This is the first time ever that I've seen someone nuzzle another with her
body to show affection. Don't you realize that you shouldn't rub against a man that way? Not only would the man be
unable to control his urges, it would also make the man think that you're purposely seducing him. So, are you still
going to insist that you weren't trying to seduce me earlier? I can't believe that you would actually stoop to this in
order to get your way and have ice cream. Little Leaf, you've turned for the worse."
Faced with his teasing eyes, she could not help blushing bright red.
As soon as Toby saw that, his laughter deepened. "But I like it."
At that moment, Sonia shot him an annoyed look. "You've benefited from this, so obviously you liked it." I know how
he is!
Toby lowered his head and smiled. "Yes, I've benefited from it and I enjoyed it very much too, but you were the one
who initiated things this time for a pint of ice cream."
He pointed at the ice cream. "I've just realized the extent that you would go to all for a pint of ice cream. Come on,
tell me. What else is there that could make you resort to this? If I know that, then I could..."
"Could what?" Sonia hurriedly cut him off. "To lead me into seducing you on my own accord?"
Toby merely smiled silkily and his intentions were obvious.
At that, Sonia harrumphed at him snappily. "You're quite good at gaining something for yourself. So... About the ice
cream. Are you going to buy it for me? I've already expressed my affections and you've also gotten your way. If you
continue to refuse me, then in the future, I..." wont show my coy side to you, was what she wanted to say.
Before she could finish her words, something popped up in front of her eyes.
He grabbed a small pint of mango-flavored ice cream. "The larger pint is too much for you, so you're only allowed
this small pint. We'll each take a step back, alright? You should realize that I'm just doing this for your own good."
Sonia took a look at the ice cream and then glanced at Toby, who wore a half smile on his face. Finally, she snorted
haughtily and reached out to grab the ice cream. "Okay, then. I'll take into account that this is for my own good and
I'll take the small pint. After all, I'm not a greedy person."
After she said that, she glanced at the ice cream in her hand and smiled contentedly.
Toby reached out to ruffle her hair. "Let's go and browse around to see what else we should get."
"That's enough. We won't be able to carry the things back if we continue shopping." Sonia stuck her lips out and
gestured to the cart. "You've bought too many fruits and healthy food. People might think that we're here to stock
up on our rations instead of grocery shopping."
Toby lowered his head to glance at the cart in front of him and he noticed that it was filled to the brim.
Occasionally, the other customers who walked past them and saw their cart could not contain themselves as they
would reveal surprised looks. Evidently, he had gone overboard on shopping.
"These are all items that's good for you, so it's definitely not too much. The store should offer delivery services,
right? If they don't, then I reckon this store would be replaced by some other chain soon. There wouldn't be any
point in them continuing the business." As Toby spoke, he scanned the surroundings and gave his comments on
whether the premium grocery store was likely to survive and thrive.
As for Sonia, she was exasperated. "That's enough. You've gone all work-mode on me again. You're scrutinizing the
place from a business POV. Don't worry. They definitely do offer delivery services. It didn't occur to me earlier on,
but I've recalled now that you asked."
"That's great. Let's pay, then." Toby pushed the cart with one hand and held her hand with the other to lead her to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe payment counter.
As they queued up at the counter, several people recognized Toby and came over to greet them. After all, he was
the chairman as well as the president of Fuller Group.
The people who lived at Bayside Residence might be slightly well-to-do, but they were not exactly part of the
wealthy. As such, the businesses they operated were on a smaller scale with smaller businesses that brought in an
annual income around the range of ten million. Compared to Fuller Group, which was a large consolidated group,
their businesses were totally insignificant. It was as if one was making comparisons between an elephant and an
ant.
As such, the people in this area generally would not get the chance to encounter Toby in their daily lives. Needless
to say, they clearly did not expect to see him here either.
After all, there was a huge disparity in their backgrounds and they would not even be able to see someone like
Grayson, what more to say Toby, who belonged to the tip of the pyramid. Toby was like a legend to them and he
was not someone they could easily encounter.
Nonetheless, this mighty man was now standing in front of their eyes like a wild dream. Furthermore, he was
grocery shopping at the same store they went to and queueing up alongside them. This was way beyond their
wildest dreams, so everyone thought that they were dreaming.
Ultimately, they realized that Toby was physically there the entire time and he had not disappeared. Moments later,
they finally regained their senses and realized that they were indeed looking at the legend.
Subsequently, the crowd naturally clamored around excitedly to greet him and attempted to get to know him so as
to leave a good impression. Perhaps then, they would be able to foster a relationship with Toby, who was such a
well-connected man, and they might be able to rise above everyone.
That was because everyone was clearly aware of what Toby represented—wealth and stature.
If only they were able to gain Toby's approval and receive his support, then their tiny companies might even
develop into major businesses and perhaps become listed on the stock market. By then, they would emerge as a
nouveau riche. At the thought of becoming one of the wealthy, they were excited beyond words.
