Mr. Fuller is Always Nice
Sonia noticed the change in his expression and became a little embarrassed. After all, it was
understandable for Toby to feel aggrieved in this matter.
Not only did he give her presents, like clothes, accessories, flowers, and many more, but he also wished
he could provide her with the best of the best. It was especially so during the period of time when they
just got back together; he wanted to send her gifts nearly every day.
However, she felt apologetic toward him since she couldn’t give him anything of equivalent value in
return if she accepted the gifts. Therefore, she felt that his gifts were like a burden on her chest, so
instead of receiving the presents graciously, she rejected all of them.
After he noticed how insistent she was on refusing his gifts, Toby restrained himself and did not shower
her with gifts as maniacally as before. Sonia even heaved a sigh of relief at his change of behavior.
That was why she really didn’t know Grandma scolded him for being a stingy partner. “Sorry, I didn’t
know that.” She lowered her head apologetically.
When Toby heard that, he replied while ruffling her hair, “It’s okay. I wasn’t blaming you. I understand why
you didn’t want to accept my presents, but it’s not as serious as you think. We’re a couple, and we’ll get
married sooner or later, which makes us the closest people to each other in this world. So, you can
accept whatever I give you without feeling pressured because they’re just tokens of my love. Actually,
whenever you rejected the gifts, I would always think that I didn’t do enough, and that’s why you didn’t
want to accept them.”
“That’s not it.” Sonia shook her head. “I just—”
“I just…” Toby cut her off. “I just couldn’t help thinking this way at times, but I know the real reason for
your rejection. I just hope that you can loosen yourself a little and accept some of my presents because
they all come from my heart. Can you do that? ”
He stared at her with his eyes full of anticipation. When Sonia his pleading eyes, she couldn’t help but
reflect on her own actions. Was it really a mistake to reject all of his gifts?
Her heart wrenched a little at the thought of his disappointed look whenever she rejected his presents or
refused his help.
At this thought, she tried to put herself in his shoes. How would she feel when she happily prepared the
best gift for her loved one, but he rejected it without even looking?
She would definitely not be happy about it. Her first thought would be, was he giving her the cold
shoulder? Was the present not good enough? In any case, she wouldn’t be exactly a happy camper after
that.
After Sonia gave it a good thought, she looked at Toby. She finally realized that her actions had hurt him
and that she had made a mistake.
Finally, she flashed him a smile and nodded. “Fine. From now on, I won’t reject everything. Whatever it is
from you, I’ll love it and consider accepting it. But only if it’s not too costly.” As she still couldn’t afford to
return him a gift of equivalent value.
When he heard her decision, he answered with a smile, “Okay.”
In fact, what Toby wanted to say was that, based on his background, all the presents that he bought were
not expensive in his eyes. After all, he had the money.
However, it was different for Sonia; the presents were indeed costly in her eyes.
In the future, he would need to consider the price before buying anything for her. But everything would be
fine after they tied the knot.
After they got married, he could give her anything, and she wouldn’t be able to reject him since they
would be a family.
She was rejecting the gifts because she felt they were not a married couple and were just partners who
could separate at any time, so she couldn’t accept them easily.
All these problems could be solved effortlessly when they were married. But speaking of getting
married…
Toby’s eyes flickered, and he looked at Sonia with a thoughtful gaze. Would she agree to it if he asked
her to marry him as soon as possible?
She blinked and asked curiously when she noticed his odd gaze, “What is it?”
However, he only shook his head and answered, “Nothing. I’m just happy.”
“About what?” she asked while looking at him.
When he heard that, he smiled. “Happy that you finally came around to accepting my presents and not
simply rejecting them.”
Embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue a little and apologized, “Sorry. I wasn’t aware that my rejections
could affect you. Although, come to think of it now, I was behaving rather selfishly.”
“No.” Toby shook his head. “It was also my problem that I always wanted to give you something, which
put some pressure on you. So, we were both at fault.”
Sonia smiled after listening to his reply. “Then, let’s change that habit together, okay?”
“Of course!” Then, he held the back of her head with a hand as he gently pulled her toward himself
before lowering his head to kiss her on her forehead.
Then, she leaned on his chest and smiled. “Oh, right! The dress that you prepared, where is it from? The
CEO of that party likes the dresses from Reign Designs.”
“I know.” Toby nodded. “That’s why the dress that I prepared is also from them. I’m your boyfriend. Of
course, I wouldn’t be a hindrance to you.”
“Hey!” Sonia hit his chest, displeased. “Who said you’re a hindrance to me? You’re much more influential
and smarter than me. If anyone’s the ‘hindrance’ in this relationship, that would be me.”
“No.” Toby’s expression turned a little serious. “I’m the one who chose you. Before we were together, I’d
already pictured what our future would be like. So, I’ve never taken you as a burden. You shouldn’t feel
this way. Got it?” He looked at her with a stern face.
For a few seconds, Sonia was startled by his stare. After that, she smiled and replied, “Okay. I won’t.”
“Now that’s better.” His expression returned to normal only when he heard her affirmative answer. Then,
he continued, “I know you ordered the dress from Reign Designs because you wanted an opportunity to
get close to Madam Llyod. So, of course, I would also prepare the dress from them. It’s from the same
designer too. I’ve asked her to re-design your dress and my suit and speed up the production. The dress
will be here before the banquet starts. Don’t worry.”
Actually, it wouldn’t take more than a few words for Toby to connect Sonia to Madam Lloyd. Even if he
didn’t say anything, Sonia could just go and tell her that she was Toby’s girlfriend, and Madam Lloyd
would want to get to know her.
However, he knew that Sonia didn’t want it that way. She didn’t want Madam Lloyd to think that she used
her connection with Toby to get the exhibition counter. He admired her independence, but at the same
time, he still felt a little upset when she didn’t depend on him at all.
But luckily, she accepted the dress this time. So, could this be counted as Anya’s good deed?
Toby’s face turned dark at once at the thought of Anya.
When Sonia noticed his sudden burst of unhappiness, she tugged at his arm and asked, “What’s
wrong?”
He replied while caressing her cheek, “Nothing. Just thinking about Anya’s identity.”
As soon as she heard Anya’s name, she frowned with disgust in her eyes. “Has the police found
anything concrete on her true identity yet?”
“She could let the officials forge an identity for her, which means that her real identity is not that simple.
She definitely has some connections with someone influential. So, it’s quite impossible for them to be
able to provide any results so quickly,” Toby explained.
After listening to his explanation, Sonia understood the severity of her fake identity and nodded.
Just then, he took out his phone. “Are you hungry?”
She rubbed her stomach and said, “A little.”
“You should go wash up. Tom brought us breakfast in the morning. I’ve been keeping your share warm
all this while.” Toby lifted Sonia’s blanket and placed her slippers neatly by her bedside.
Sonia’s heart melted when she saw him doing all the work for her. “It’s nice having you by my side.”
As soon as he heard that, he chuckled and asked, “Aren’t I always nice to you?”
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re always very nice, Mr. Fuller,” she agreed to his words with a grin.
