This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624 Let Me Hug You for a While

As she reached out to take the blow-dryer, Sonia concurred, “That’s what I’m thinking as well.”

“Alright, dry your hair before you get some rest then. Don’t catch a cold,” Toby exhorted.

After acknowledging his words with a hum, she stood up and stepped aside to dry her hair.

As she did so, he rested his head on his hand and watched her, never looking away for a second.

Now that she was unnerved by his stare, Sonia paused in her movements and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”

“Because you’re good-looking,” Toby answered earnestly as he sat up straight.

His unexpected compliment made her blush. “What a strange one you are.”

With that, she turned away to ignore him before he could say anything lewder.

All of a sudden, he stood up and walked to her.

As he stood behind her, he raised a hand and caught hold of the blow-dryer in her hand.

Once again, Sonia froze. “What are you doing?”

“Let me help you dry your hair.” With that, Toby pulled the blow-dryer from her grip.

She immediately turned around with an outstretched arm as she intended to snatch the blow-dryer back. “There’s no need. I can do something like this by myself.”

“It’s okay. You helped me to dry my hair earlier in the afternoon, so it’s only fair for me to help you blow dry your hair.”

After saying that, he pressed on the button for hot air, which caused the blow-dryer to whir again and leaving her with no opportunity to refuse.

Noting Toby’s insistence and not knowing what else to do, Sonia turned around and allowed him to do as he pleased.

Now that he stood behind her, he was a head taller than her. Thus, it was extremely easy for him to dry her hair. Even if he currently had only one functional arm, he could complete the task in a breeze.

Both of them remained silent as he helped her, and for a period of time, the noise of the blow-dryer was the only sound in the spacious living room.

It wasn’t until Toby was satisfied that Sonia’s hair was completely dry some ten minutes later that he turned off the blow-dryer and set it aside, saying gently, “It’s done.”

She lifted a hand in response and ran her fingers through her hair. Sure enough, her head was dry. As she was about to turn around and thank him, she suddenly felt something warm pressing against her back.

It was his chest.

Following that, he wrapped his arms around her from behind and tightened his grip on her waist to rest his chin on her shoulder. Then, he sniffed her neck and murmured hoarsely, “You smell lovely.”

All of sudden, Sonia felt incredibly tense, especially after hearing what he said.

That was because she suddenly once recalled watching a show on television where the leading characters stood in the same position as them now—the man held the woman from behind and told her that she smelled lovely—before they slept together.

Therefore, she was petrified that Toby’s actions would resemble what the man from the show did.

Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and said with a grave face and in a stern tone, “You best behave yourself, Toby. I’m not going to have sex with you.”

Upon hearing that, Toby instantly knew that she had misunderstood his intentions. With a slight raise of his eyebrow, he chuckled. “Relax, I’ll behave myself. Our relationship isn’t at that point yet, so I won’t do anything that troubles you. I simply wish to hold you.”

Sonia immediately let out a sigh of relief at his response.

It was a good thing he had no intention of having sex with her.

After all, if he truly wanted to get to it, she was no opponent of his and would have no way of resisting him.

Fortunately, he wasn’t such a man. Given the case, she wasn’t opposed to letting him hold her for a while.

And so, Sonia turned her head slightly to glance at him from the corner of her eye. “Alright. Just for a while.”

Toby lowered his head and brushed his lips across her hair while agreeing, “Okay.”

Not saying anything more, she turned back and saw how well they matched each other from the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling windows. She had to admit that their silhouette looked rather attractive indeed.

As she realized what she was thinking, she blushed once again and lowered her head to reveal the fair skin of her nape.

Meanwhile, Toby nearly went cross-eyed from staring at her nape but could not bear to look away. He even thought about biting on her skin so that he could leave his own imprint on her.
