This man didn't quit smoking after all, and he was probably smoking quite often.
However, he made sure she never saw him smoking, so she thought he had quit.
Now, she knew that she was fooled through and through.
As Toby looked at the woman's small infuriated face, he guiltily rubbed his nose.
He had never expected that smoking a single cigarette would cause such dissatisfaction in the woman.
Now, he also regretted smoking that cigarette a little.
"Sorry, I won't smoke in the future. I'll quit, so don't get angry, all right?" Toby held Sonia's hand as he
said in all sincerity.
Sonia eyed him sideways. "Really?"
"Really." Toby raised three fingers. "I swear."
His expression was serious.
Sonia pursed her red lips. "What use is swearing? Do all promises come true as soon as you swear?"
Of course not!
Toby replied silently in his heart as he realized swearing probably wasn't the best way, nor could it
convince anyone. After falling silent for a bit, he looked at her and asked, "Then tell me, what should I
do so that you'll believe me?"
"Who knows?" Sonia said indifferently, "Even if I believe you now, who would know if you'd smoke
when I'm not looking? You said you won't smoke, but I don't know if you mean it."
She was right.
Toby was silent again.
Then, he reached into his pocket and fished out the cigarettes and the expensive lighter, placing them
on the table in front of Sonia.
Sonia looked at the cigarettes on the table, then back at the man beside her. "What do you mean by
this?"
"You can do whatever you please with them," Toby said sincerely.
Then, he took her hands and placed them in his palms. "I mean everything I say. I really won't smoke in
the future, and I will definitely keep my promise. I won't do anything that makes you sad, so please,
give me another chance, okay?"
As he spoke, he was especially serious.
He was so serious that Sonia didn't have the heart to say no.
Sonia gave a wry smile, then sighed in the end. "Fine. Seeing how sincere you are, if I don't believe
you and give you another chance, I might look like the villain here."
"Impossible." Toby frowned. "To me, you're always the kind fairy in my heart."
Sonia chuckled at that. "A fairy? You're crafty with words, aren't you?"
Toby smiled. "Only for you."
Sonia glared at him.
She believed those words all right.
"Fine. Since you said you'll quit smoking, I'll hold onto these for you." Sonia reached out and gathered
the cigarettes and lighter toward her, then put them in her bag.
When she did so, she kept a watchful eye on the man's expressions, intending to figure out if the man
would express any reluctance.
Fortunately, throughout the whole process, the man was very calm and didn't show any refusal toward
her actions.
Fortunately, throughout the whole process, the man was very calm and didn't show any refusal toward

This made Sonia see the man in a better light.
After placing her bag back on the chair beside her, Sonia looked at the man with a half-smile. "I thought
you'd protest."
Toby ate his food calmly. "Nothing to protest about. I don't have much of a smoke addiction in the first
place, and I rarely smoke anyways. I only smoke one cigarette sometimes. If not, how come you only
found out now that I'm still smoking?"
Sonia had no retort for these words.
He was right. If he had a strong addiction to smoking, she would've found out pretty early that he
smoked regularly.
"I just didn't expect you to react so strongly to my smoking." Toby put some food on her plate as he
spoke.
Sonia ate the food courteously, which was also another sign that she was no longer upset about his
smoking habits.
"I reacted strongly because I care about you and your body. If you aren't my lover, I wouldn't care at
all." At that, Sonia rolled her eyes at the man.
Toby nodded sincerely. "Yeah, I won't do it anymore. Don't worry, I'll keep my body in good condition,
and I won't put you at a disadvantage. I'll only make you happy."
His last sentence was whispered in a low and seductive voice in her ear as he leaned in toward her.
Sonia felt a tickle in her ear as she moved away a little bit. Her face was extremely red as she glared at
the man.
What was this stupid man flirting around for?
She cared about his body so that he wouldn't fall sick. She wasn't hoping for him to keep up his
abnormal amounts of stamina and do those things with her.
This stupid man always liked to interrupt the conversation with such things.
"Go away and be good." Sonia pushed the man away, annoyed.
The man chuckled, but still he obediently shifted back to his position.
Sonia tucked a bit of her hair behind her ears and took a sip of water before she could finally calm
down. Then, she returned to the topic at hand. "Tell me, why smoke all of a sudden? Or did you go to
the washroom just to have a puff?"
"It's not that." Toby shook his head. "I smoked because I was too bored while watching the
performance."
"It has something to do with that performance?" Sonia was surprised. "What performance is that? You
never cared much about these things and don't really join in the fun, but this performance is actually
interesting enough that you'd stop and smoke while you watched?"
She was curious about this instead.
"It's a performance by the Grays," Toby said, sipping his wine.
Sonia blinked. "The Grays?"
"Yup." Toby nodded. "What other performance do you think was worth stopping by and watching?"
"You have a point." Sonia nodded. "What happened to the Grays?"
"Rina suddenly fell ill, and the Gray couple took her away."
"Suddenly fell ill?" Sonia was truly surprised then, and her voice went an octave higher. "How can this
be? When I saw her in the washroom just now, she seemed alright. She didn't look ill at all."
"That's why it's sudden," Toby replied as he lowered his gaze.
Sonia pouted. "Then she's really unfortunate to fall ill just like that. How is she?"
"She fainted." Toby rubbed the wine glass.
Sonia supported her head with her hand. "That sounds serious. Say, do you think this is hereditary?"
She looked at the man.
The man was stunned for a bit. "What?"
"A hereditary disease." Sonia shrugged. "Titus has kidney failure, doesn't he? And this sort of illness is
usually hereditary. You said that Rina suddenly fell ill, so could it be that she inherited Titus' kidney
failure?"
As soon as Sonia uttered those words, Toby's expression changed in an instant.
He had never thought that kidney failure would be hereditary!
It was true. In a family, if one of them had this illness, their descendants might very possibly get the
same illness as well.
Titus had kidney failure, so would Little Leaf have that as well?
After all, Little Leaf was Titus' real biological daughter!
At that thought, Toby stared at Sonia, his thin lips pressed into a tight line as his expression tensed.
The look in his eyes was so serious that it was terrifying.
Sonia was startled at his behavior. She parted her red lips and asked faintly, "What's wrong? I feel kind
of scared when you look at me like this."
"Little Leaf, let's find some time to go to the hospital for a full body checkup, all right?" Toby took her
hand and said.
Sonia was shocked. "A full body checkup?"
"Yes." Toby nodded.
Sonia cocked her head to a side, expressing confusion. "I'm feeling alright, so why the sudden
checkup? Aren't we talking about Rina? Why focus on me all of a sudden?"
Toby had no way of telling her that it was because she was Titus' daughter, so he was worried that she
might have kidney failure like Titus did.
So, he could only find an excuse. "Because, when I saw Rina fall sick so suddenly, I realized that the
human body is very fragile. Someone might look okay one moment and then faint the next. So, I want
you to go for a checkup, then I'll rest assured."
