Sneaking Into the Bathroom
When he was growing up, Toby received a strict education. He had to follow a set of rules in every part
of his life, and eating was no exception. He had three meals with a certain amount of food a day at a
scheduled hour—no more, no less.
As a result, he would always stop eating when he was 80 percent full. He never ate until he was
entirely satisfied, so feeling bloated after cleaning his plate was a first for him.
When he was about 80 percent full, his rationality told him to put down his cutlery and stop eating.
However, when he saw how much Sonia enjoyed her food, he didn’t feel like stopping either, so he
went on and finished the meal with her.
It was undeniable that when he had company who enjoyed eating so much, he could disregard all the
past rules while having a hearty meal.
Rubbing his tummy, Toby stood up and offered, saying, “Go ahead and rest. I’ll clean this up.”
“It’s fine.” Sonia pressed his hands down and counter-offered by stating, “Let me. I’ll take care of the
dishes since you did the cooking. I can’t let you do everything, so just sit back and relax. By the way,
you don’t look so good either.”
With that, she stacked the plates and cutleries before carrying them to the kitchen.
To Sonia, a relationship should be mutual, and so was the same for cohabiting. A relationship between
two individuals was about give-and-take, so having only one party blindly giving or receiving didn’t feel
right. Regardless of how great the relationship was, it would gradually wear away as time passed.
Therefore, it was critical that both parties put equal effort into maintaining the relationship, just as it was
with co-living. It was only then that both could go strong for a long time.
Watching Sonia carrying the plates into the kitchen, Toby heaved a sigh before taking a seat.
Well, that came as a surprise. I didn’t expect her to be able to tell that I wasn’t feeling okay.
It was proven from that alone that she still cared for him. With that thought in mind, Toby lowered his
head and chuckled lightly.
After a few minutes, Sonia, who had just cleared the table, came out with a first aid kit in her hand.
Toby was suddenly anxious when he saw the first aid kit. Straightening his back, he quickly inquired,
“What happened? Where did you hurt yourself?”
Seeing his concerned look, Sonia couldn’t help but feel warmth pooling in her heart. Shaking her head,
she smiled. “Not me. You.”
“Me?” Toby questioned with his brows raised.
Sonia returned to her seat and sat down before opening the first aid kit, saying, “Aren’t you feeling
bloated from overeating? Let me look for the antacid.”
After saying that, she picked one of the medicine bottles and read the instructions. Unscrewing the lid,
she poured three tablets into her hand and gave them to Toby. “Here. These are antacid medicines.
Take it.”
Looking at the tablets in her hand, he didn’t reach over to take them. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and
poured the tablets into his mouth. That wasn’t all. Once all the tablets were poured into his mouth, he
licked her palm deliberately.
Tickled by his licks, Sonia glared at him petulantly. “What are you doing?”
Toby chuckled in response. “Oops. Sorry.”
The corners of Sonia’s lips twitched. “The look on your face tells me otherwise.”
Rolling her eyes at him, Sonia pulled her hand back and poured a glass of water for him. “Drink some
water.”
Toby hummed and didn’t try anything else on her. This time, he took the glass and drank a sip of water
to melt the bitter tablets in his mouth before swallowing them.
Sonia shut the lid of the first aid kit while uttering, “You shouldn’t have eaten so much. Don’t force
yourself to eat so much anymore, alright? It’s not worth it if you get an upset stomach.”
“How do you know I can’t eat much?” Toby inquired while holding the glass and staring at her.
Spreading her palms, Sonia replied, “You always control your portion for every meal, so it’s not difficult
to notice that you’ve eaten more than you usually do. If it weren’t for that happy look of yours, I
would’ve stopped you from eating.”
She was indeed shocked to see that he had almost finished the whole bowl of borscht earlier, and she
did intend to stop him.
His stomach could only hold a certain portion of food because he had always managed his meals.
The portion of the borscht he had eaten earlier exceeded his usual portion, so it made sense for him to
have an upset stomach right now.
Moreover, he was obviously uncomfortable but refused to stop eating. Sonia was a little taken aback
and wanted to stop him, but she held back after watching him enjoying the food.
Sonia was also aware of what made him so happy.
The reason was none other than him having the meal with her and watching her eating happily. It made
him want to do the same.
What an innocent fool. I can’t believe he did that! Haha!
“Don’t do that anymore. You only suffer from it.” Sonia looked at him.
Meeting her concerned gaze, Toby responded with a gentle look on his face, “Okay.”
“Alright. Lie down here and take a rest. I think you’ll be fine in a while after the medicine starts working.”
After that, Sonia carried the first aid kit into the kitchen and stored it. She then grabbed her clothes and
went to the bathroom.
On the other hand, Toby sat on the sofa while his gaze was locked on her as she moved. Even after
Sonia had entered the bathroom and closed the door, he couldn’t peel his eyes off the frosted door.
Though he couldn’t see the inside, he could see a graceful figure through the frosted door. The figure
was currently putting her hands to the back of her head and tying her hair into a bun.
After that was done, the figure rested her hands in a crossover posture before lifting the hem of her
shirt over her head, showing off her voluptuous figure.
Seeing that, Toby could feel his eyes darken and Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. He then grabbed
hold of the sofa’s arms and stood up before sauntering to the bathroom.
Once he was right outside the bathroom, the figure was done taking off her clothes. With one hand, she
held onto the showerhead and started washing herself.
The sound of the rushing flow of water penetrated the frosted door and into Toby’s ears. At that
moment, Toby’s eyes turned dark.
He then turned the doorknob lightly with one hand, and the door opened.
Having been staying alone in the past, Sonia never got used to locking doors because no one would
barge in any way.
Though she was currently living with Toby, she kept the habit of not locking doors because she never
expected him to enter while she showered.
Slowly, the door was pushed open by Toby. The bathroom was enveloped in mist and fragrance, and
everything else in the bathroom entered Toby’s line of sight.
Sonia was currently naked and standing under the showerhead with her back facing him. Water poured
down her body from the huge showerhead above her while she held the small showerhead on her
shoulder, giving her shoulders a little massage as she tilted her head sideways.
The whole day of work had burdened her shoulders, so during the shower, she splashed hot water on
her shoulders as a form of massage to relieve the soreness. It became a habit for her to do it every
time during a shower.
Perhaps Sonia was too focused on showering, or perhaps Toby was too quiet as he opened the door
and walked toward her, but she didn’t even realize the door was open and his figure was sneaking in.
It was only when Toby stood right behind her and reached out to hug her waist did she come to a
shocking realization. She blurted a cry, and her whole body went stiff.
“Shh! Don’t scream!” Toby immediately covered Sonia’s mouth and leaned his head on her shoulders,
uttering in a raspy voice, “It’s me.”
“Huh?”
Toby?
