This smells the same as the shower gel I got on my hands in the shower room.
Why can I smell the scent of Sonia‘s
shower gel here, though? Unless, that shower gel is not hers to begin with. Before we
went out, it was Tina who used this bathroom, which means that the
owner of the shower gel caused Sonia to slip.
While grabbing the bathrobe in his hand tightly, Toby fixed his cold eyes on a bottle of shower gel in the
toilet
cabinet. The bottle was transparent, so
he could clearly see that there was less
than half of the shower gel left inside.
As for where the other half had gone,
the answer was obvious.
With a terrifying expression, he threw
aside the bathrobe in his hand and walked out of the bathroom.
Outside in the living room, Tina was
sitting on the couch and talking to Jean on the phone. When she heard his footsteps, she lifted her eyes
and saw the man’s cold face. Immediately, she felt a thump inside her heart, but she still managed to
force a smile on her face. “Toby, you are done
showering?”
Why is he staring at me with such terrifying eyes?
“Tina, why aren’t you saying anything?”
After calming herself down, Tina smiled and replied, “Madam White, it’s getting late. You need to get
some rest, so we’ll just have to stop here for now. See you next time!”
Then, Tina hung up and put the phone back onto the coffee table. As she got
up and approached Toby, she could feel his eyes getting more and more terrifying the more she got
closer to him.
Deep down, she felt worried but she still remained calm on the surface.
Toby, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad
mood?” She went up to him and tried to lean against his chest.
With his head down, Toby glanced at her before taking a step back.
Therefore, she stumbled and almost fell to the floor, so she looked at him in
shock. “Toby,”
“Was it you who caused Sonia to fall in
the shower room?” He cut off her
words while his expression grew
colder.
Immediately, Tina’s eyes narrowed but
she didn’t have time to wonder how he
ended up suspecting her, so she kept
on shaking her head. “Of course not!
Toby, do you really think I would do such a thing?”
She looked as though she couldn’t accept his misunderstanding and her face was filled with
dissatisfaction and
anger.
Initially, she thought that by doing so, Toby would coax her as usual to
prevent her from getting angry.
This time, however, the man did nothing as he stood there and stared at her. Not only were his eyes full
of disappointment, there was also a surge of complex emotions that no one could understand.
“You still won’t admit to it? Do you
really think I’m suspecting you out of the blue? If I didn’t have any definite evidence, I wouldn’t ask you
this
question.”
Definite evidence? Tina’s expression instantly changed since she knew that he wouldn’t lie to
her. Looks like he
actually has evidence.
She panicked and her eyes were filled with fear. “Toby, 1-”
Again, he cut off her words. “The thing
that caused Sonia to slip was the large
pool of shower gel on the floor, and
that shower gel has the same scent as
yours. All of your shower gels are

718 custom-made, which means there can’t be another one in the world with the
same scent. Also, when you came
here, all of the items you bought with
you were new and unopened but for some reason, half of your shower gel has been used. This evidence
is
enough to prove that it was you who did it.” After that, he looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger
and asked the question that he always had inside his heart. “Tina, are you really that kind
and innocent girl who wrote all those
letters to me back then?”
The moment she heard his question,
her body froze while her hands and
feet became cold. What should I do? He is starting to suspect my identity! This
won‘t do. I must quickly dispel his suspicions; otherwise, it‘ll be all over for
1. me.
As the light in her eyes flicked, she suddenly bit her lips and cried. “I’m sorry, Toby. I was wrong. I’m
sorry!”
She then started coughing, so much so that her face turned red and her body trembled slightly, as if she
was about
to pass out at any time.
Seeing how feeble she looked, Toby felt his heart go soft, so he patted her
back to help regulate her breathing.
“I’m not the one you should apologize
to.”
“Yes, I’ll apologize to Miss Reed tomorrow.” She grabbed his arm and shook it like a spoiled child. “Toby,
can you please forgive me?”
He didn’t say that he forgave her but at the same time, he didn’t withdraw his arm and he pinched the
space between his eyebrows. “I want to know why you did it. Have you ever thought that you
might kill someone doing this?”
“I didn’t think that much.” Tina
murmured with her head lowered. “I did
it because I was scared that you have
been with Miss Reed for six years. I
was afraid that you still have feelings for her and she’ll snatch you away, so I
‘acted impulsively. I regretted it
afterward but I didn’t dare to say anything because I was scared that you would blame me.”
“Don’t be silly. I only have you in my heart. It’s impossible for Sonia and I to be together.” Toby couldn’t
help but feel a little guilty because the reason Tina did such a thing was because he didn’t give her any
sense of security, so he hugged her and kissed her head.
“Listen to me-from now on, you must
stop doing this, understand?”
“Yes.” While leaning on his chest, Tina felt that his attitude had softened, and she heaved a sigh of relief,
knowing
that she had dispelled his suspicions.

12/18 After that, she seemed to think of
something, so she lowered her eyes and asked with concern “Toby, do you think Miss Reed will call the
police to arrest me when I apologize to her
tomorrow?”
He rubbed her head and said, “It’ll be
fine. I’ll take care of it.”
“Thank you, Toby.” Smiling, she stood up on her tiptoes and tried to give him a kiss on the lips.
However, he furrowed his brows and
instinctively turned his face away.
In the end, her kiss landed on nothing, causing her expression to freeze, but

she pretended that nothing had
happened and kissed his cheek.
Meanwhile, the doctor was treating
Sonia
While clenching his fists, Charles kept on walking around non-stop until the
doctor finally took off his gloves. “Doctor, how’s baby… How’s Sonia’s condition?”
“She isn’t in danger at the moment. She only has a mild concussion. I’ve also re-disinfected and
bandaged her wound, but it’s better if you bring her to the hospital for a more detailed inspection to see if
there is any blood clot in her head,” the doctor explained.
“Alright. I’ll take her there tomorrow.”
Charles nodded.
After sending the doctor away, he sat down next to the bed and stared at the
unconscious woman in relief. “Luckily you are fine; otherwise, Carl will kill me
a thousand times over. He may even
turn evil and destroy the world.”
When he thought about Carl’s true looks, he couldn’t help but tremble in fear. In the end, he fell asleep
on the
side of the bed.
When Sonia finally woke up, it was
already the next morning.

After blinking, she wanted to get up but as soon as she moved her body slightly, an intense pain was
immediately felt coming from her head. The pain was enough to turn her face pale as she fell back on
the bed but at the same time, images of her memory flashed through her mind.
She remembered that she fell down and knocked her head when she came out of the shower room
yesterday.

She moaned in pain, waking up
Charles, who was sleeping on the side of the bed. Then, he sat straight and looked at her with his sleepy
eyes. “Baby, are you finally awake?”
Her lips twitched and she asked, “Have you been watching over me all night?”
“Yes.” He casually tidied up his messy
hair and smiled. “What do you think,
Baby? I treat you quite well, right? Are
you going to consider turning me from
a fake boyfriend to your real one?”
She rolled her eyes at him. “In your

“As expected, all women are cruel!” he muttered as he stared at her gloomily.
She couldn’t help but kick him and said, “Alright. Be serious!”
Immediately, he stopped messing
around and he put on a serious
expression. “Baby, how did you fall down yesterday?”
Sonia pursed her pale lips and said, “I
did fall down by myself, but I feel like things weren’t as simple as they looked.”
“Do you suspect something, baby?” Charles asked as he looked at her.
She nodded. “I fell because I stepped on something slippery as I came out from the stall. When I was
on the floor, I smelled something fragrant, like body wash.”
“Why would there be body wash in
front of your stall?” His eyes widened
in astonishment
“I have no clue either.”
