Chapter 744 A Celebration

“This looks pretty good,” Sonia uttered as she turned to look at the man whose face was directly beside hers.

“Really?” Toby turned to look at her as well. She nodded. “Yeah. The plating of the food might be rather odd, but the colors of the dishes look really good. For a beginner’s standard, this deserves a thumbs up.” Sonia stuck her thumb up in front of the man as she spoke. Initially, Sonia assumed that his dishes wouldn’t be too great even if he put in the effort to learn cooking.

However, she just realized that she had gotten it wrong. Although she couldn’t tell if the food was good until she tasted it, just the smell and the color of the dishes told her that it would taste average, if not amazing. Toby smirked when he saw how amazed Sonia seemed by his cooking. Then, he released his arm around her waist to pull one of the chairs back. He pulled her closer to the chair and pressed her shoulders to make her sit down before he handed her some cutleries. “Try it! Tell me how it tastes,” he urged.

“Sure,” Sonia replied with a smile. She was just as eager to taste the dishes, anyway. With her cutleries in her hands, Sonia glanced at the few dishes in front of her while contemplating which to try first. Fortunately, she had never been an indecisive individual, so she came to a conclusion pretty soon. She picked the dish that was the closest to her.

Toby had prepared a total of three dishes—an omelet, some grilled meat, and fried vegetables. All of these were some of the most commonly seen dishes in any household, but these weren’t dishes that would typically appear in the Fuller Residence. The Fullers’ chefs were Michelin star chefs who didn’t necessarily specialize in such common dishes. Sonia was certain that Toby hadn’t tasted regular food like these in the past.

After all, Tom would never get Toby such a simple meal even when they ate out. Most of the time, Tom would order meals from high-end restaurants. That explained why Sonia was so shocked when she first saw the dishes that Toby had prepared. However, upon further thought, Sonia realized how almost every beginner would start by preparing these basic dishes. She no longer felt as surprised after that.

In the end, Sonia chose to try the omelet first. Toby’s eyes followed the egg in her spoon as she raised it to her mouth. “How is it?’ Toby pulled out a chair beside her to sit down as he questioned her. Sonia didn’t respond immediately—she was busy chewing on her food. After chewing for a while more, she turned to look at the man. His expression seemed as calm as usual, but Sonia could tell that he was rather nervous when she observed his actions a little more. Is he worried that I might say his cooking isn’t good?

Sonia smiled at that thought. “I can’t give you an answer since I only tried one of the dishes. I need to try the rest of them before giving you an answer.”

“Fine. Continue eating,” Toby ordered as he used his cutleries to scoop out portions of the two other dishes onto her plate. As Sonia proceeded with her taste-testing, Toby continued to stare at her. He no longer asked her how it tasted, but he frowned as he watched her finish the food on her plate. The anxiousness in his eyes seemed to increase with every passing moment.

When she saw how nervous he seemed, she couldn’t help but giggle. I think I might be the only person who can evoke such feelings of nervousness within this man. I have to say, I do feel pretty happy to watch him getting all worried over my opinion. It shows that he only gets emotional when it comes to things related to me.

After finishing the food on her plate, Sonia lowered her cutleries and wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue. “Sonia,” Toby called. He was clearly asking for her to give him some comments. However, she pretended not to hear him calling her. Instead, she sipped on her glass of water while maintaining the suspense in the air.

At this point, Toby pressed his lips into a thin line before calling her with a deeper voice. “Sonia!”
