Chapter 742

Key Card

She didn’t even say he could move in with her, but he was already prepared to stay under the same roof
with her.

Toby chuckled. “Well, your place is my place, right? Since it’s also my place, I get to live in it too, no? So
let’s skip all the formalities.”

“Don’t you think my place is cramped? Can you get used to it?” Sonia crossed her arms and looked at
him.

Toby smiled. “Yes. As long as it’s with you, I can take it no matter how cramped it is.”

Sonia smiled. “You might be lying to me though.” She had to say that she was happy Toby would do it for
her.

“I won’t. I always tell you the truth. I wouldn’t have moved here otherwise.” He looked at Tom—who was
holding the luggage—and he nodded. “Take it upstairs.”

“Yes, sir,” Tom answered.

Toby looked away and held Sonia’s hand. “Let’s go. He can do it himself.”

“A minute.” Instead of going in with him, Sonia looked back at the luggage. “Are they heavy, Tom? If they
are, I—”

He knew what she was about to say, so he waved her off. “It’s alright, Miss Reed. I can do this alone.”

“Really?” Sonia pointed at the luggage.



Before Tom could answer, Toby pushed her hand down. “There are wheels under the luggage. He
doesn’t need to hold them all the time. If he can’t even do this, I would have wasted my money on him.”
He shot Tom a cold look.

Tom cursed silently, but outwardly, he was smiling. “Mr. Fuller is right. Don’t worry about me, Miss Reed.”
I’ll pick Miss Reed any day of the week. She’s so much friendlier than this demon.

Since Tom wasn’t insisting, Sonia nodded. “I see. Thank you then, Tom.”

“It’s nothing. It’s my job.” Tom let one luggage go and adjusted his glasses.

“Let’s go.” Toby didn’t want to waste any more time in the parking lot. He wanted to go up, so he held her
hand and went to the elevator.

Sonia could see that he was in a hurry, and she shook her head in amusement. “Slow down.”

Toby said nothing, but he slowed down.

It didn’t take them long to come back to her home. She took her card out and swiped it on the electronic
lock, and the door opened. She was about to put her card back into her handbag, but she realized that
Toby was looking at her hand, and she looked up at him.

He didn’t realize she was looking at him, and his gaze was still locked on the card she was holding. He
wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. Sonia arched her eyebrow, and she laughed. It’s so
obvious what he wants. “Give me your hand,” she crossed her arms and commanded.

Toby was curious, but he raised his hand as she said. “Why?”

Instead of answering, she kept commanding, “Open it. Palm up.”

Toby did as he was told, and she stopped crossing her arms, then she put the white card in his hand,
much to his surprise. “This is…”



“Oh, you don’t want it?” Sonia smiled at Toby, who was dumbfounded. “You kept staring at it, and I
thought you wanted it. Well, if you don’t want it, then I’ll take it back.”

She extended her hand and pretended she would take it back.

The moment she did, Toby held the card tightly and pulled his hand back, then he kept it in his suit’s
pocket and patted it carefully. Sonia was watching as he did so. “I want this. Since you gave it to me,
then it’s mine.” A smile curled his lips, and he looked obviously delighted.

Sonia covered her mouth and chuckled. “It’s just a key card. Do you have to be so happy about it?”

He looked at her. “Of course. You gave me your home’s key, so that means you acknowledge me, and
you’re saying I can move in. Of course I’m happy. I’m keeping this card well.”

“If I didn’t know better, I would have thought you’re taking it as a family heirloom.” Sonia was amused.

He gave me his place’s key two days ago, but I wasn’t even this excited.

Even though Sonia was just teasing him, Toby actually patted the key card and thought about it. “Family
heirloom?”

Sonia had a bad feeling about it, and the corner of her lips twitched. “You’re getting some ideas, aren’t
you?”

He nodded seriously. “That’s a good idea. I can consider it.”

Sonia was horrified. “Please don’t. Stop considering it. It was just a joke. It’s just a card, so there’s no
value in passing it down.”

“There is.” Toby was still looking serious. “I can tell our kids that this is proof that their parents finally
started living together. And they can tell their kids about it.”



Sonia was dumbfounded, then she went into her home, sighing. She was half amused, half annoyed.
“Kids and grandkids? You sure know how to joke, Toby.” How did he even come up with that?

Toby went in after her. “What are you talking about?”

“It’s nothing. Just put your luggage down. I’ll make dinner.” She placed her handbag down and picked the
apron up from the chair at the dining table. She started tying it up, and Toby went over to help her. She
didn’t say no, and she let her hands go.

Toby tied her apron up and answered, “Tom can do that. I’ll help you with dinner.”

“You?” Sonia quickly turned around. “You want to help?”

“Yes.” Toby nodded.

Sonia looked at him. “Are you sure?”

“Naturally.” He nodded again.

Sonia suddenly laughed. “Forget it. The last time you helped—”

Before she could finish, he suddenly held her shoulder and turned her around so that she was facing
him. A while of silence later, Toby looked away first, since he was feeling embarrassed from the look
Sonia was giving him. He coughed awkwardly, then he said, “I lied last time. I was only starting to cook
so I couldn’t help much, but now, I’ve mastered a lot of cuisines, so I can do it. I can make dinner tonight,
and you can see how I do. Is that fine?”

Sonia arched an eyebrow. “Are you for real?”

“Of course.” He arched his eyebrow as well. “I was planning on cooking for you after I’ve fully mastered
the skills of culinary. It was supposed to be a surprise, but I can’t wait any longer.”



Since he wanted to prove himself, Sonia wouldn’t take the chance away from him. She untied her apron
and handed it to him. “Alright. You do it then. I’m looking forward to tonight’s dinner.”

“You won’t be disappointed.” Toby smiled and took the apron from her. He was confident in his repertoire,
and he knew he would really surprise her.
