Chapter 644

Zane’s Warning

Why did Sonia fall in love with him over and over again? Why did this happen? Is it because he is more
handsome and richer than me? Hmm… Alright, I have to admit that Toby is indeed more outstanding
than me in terms of looks, and he has a more powerful background as well. Come to think of it, it’s no
wonder that I lost to him.

However, deep down, Zane was reluctant to accept the fact that he had lost to Toby since this was the
first time the former fell for someone. After letting out a self-mocking laugh, he calmed down and sat
down, then took out his phone and dialed Toby’s number. He was going to call Toby to give him a good
scolding.

After all, Toby had stolen the person Zane fancied, so the latter wouldn’t be satisfied if he didn’t vent his
anger on Toby by giving him a good scolding.

However, the call went through and after Toby’s phone rang twice, Toby ended the call. Zane’s eyes
widened in rage. He stubbornly called him again, but it was hung up once again.

Zane was no idiot and he naturally knew that Toby intentionally hung up his call, which showed that the
latter didn’t want to pick up. Therefore, Zane had no choice but to call Toby’s assistant, Tom, instead.

This time, the call was picked up. Zane said something on the phone that caused Tom to twitch his lips.
Then, with an indescribable expression, Tom knocked on the door to Toby’s office.

“President Fuller?”

“Come in!” Toby’s cold voice came from his office.

Tom pushed the door and entered the office. Toby was seen massaging his left arm behind the desk
when Tom uttered, “President Fuller, Mr. Coleman called me earlier.”



“Oh?” Toby raised an eyebrow and stopped what he was doing to raise his head to look at Tom. “He
scolded me, didn’t he?”

Zane and Toby had been friends for many years regardless of the circumstances. In fact, they were each
other’s one and only friend. Therefore, Toby thought that he knew Zane quite well. The reason Zane
called him at this point of time must have been to yell at him after knowing about his relationship with
Sonia. This wasn’t something that Zane hadn’t done in the past.

Back when they had been university students, a junior had fallen in love with Zane and had pursued him
for a long time. Although Zane hadn’t liked the junior very much, he had agreed to date the girl due to her
persistence.

However, when the girl saw Toby, she suddenly had a change of heart and pursued Toby instead. When
Zane learnt about that, he had reprimanded Toby furiously.

Hence, this time would definitely be the same, Toby thought. On top of that, Zane had really fallen for
Sonia, so it would only be logical for him to seek Toby out when he learnt that Toby and Sonia had gotten
back together.

Meanwhile, Tom, who was standing in front of the desk, didn’t expect that Toby would guess it right. He
nodded repeatedly as he responded, “Yes, President Fuller. Mr. Coleman scolded you on the phone for a
long time.”

Toby scoffed when he heard that. “Knowing him, this is something that he would do.” This was exactly
the reason why Toby had refused to pick up Zane’s call in the first place.

Besides, Zane must have been heartbroken after learning about Toby’s relationship with Sonia. As a
friend, Toby wouldn’t be so cruel to the point of giving Zane another blow by picking up the call.



“President Fuller, how did you know that Mr. Coleman called you to yell at you?” Tom asked curiously as
he looked at Toby.

Upon hearing that, Toby curled up his thin lips. “If the person you have fallen for ends up with your friend,
would you scold your friend?”

Tom cocked his head to one side and gave it some thought. A few moments later, he gave Toby a
thumbs-up. It was rather obvious what his answer to the question was—he would!

“Alright. If there’s nothing else, you may leave.” Toby waved his hand, but Tom remained rooted to the
spot and said, “There’s one more thing—before Mr. Coleman ended the call, he managed to calm himself
down and asked me to convey a message to you.”

“What message?” Toby narrowed his eyes.

Tom adjusted his glasses before he replied, “Mr. Coleman said that since Miss Reed has chosen you,
you have to treat her well, not upset her and never let the Fuller Family bully her. He said that he cares
for Miss Reed a lot, so if you ever mistreat her, he will end the friendship with you and take her away
from you.”

“He won’t have the chance to do so.” Toby pursed his lips. However, he was inwardly satisfied with
Zane’s attitude.

From his words, Toby could tell that Zane had decided to suppress his feelings for Sonia and give up on
her after knowing that she had chosen Toby. This suggested that Zane had a clear conscience.

Of course, even if Zane didn’t have a clear mind, he would never be qualified to be Toby’s opponent. In
fact, the latter would slaughter anyone who had the audacity to lay a finger on Sonia to eliminate their
unrealistic notions!

A cold gleam flashed across Toby’s eyes and disappeared in a split second.



“There’s one more thing,” Tom added when he thought of something. “Last night, I received an email
from the hospital that urged you to go to do an arm check-up when you are available.”

Toby looked down at his left arm and hummed in response. “Alright. Is there anything else?”

“That’s all for now.”

Toby inclined his head slightly as he commented, “You may leave.”

And so, Tom turned on his heel and left.

Thereafter, Toby took his phone, unlocked the screen, and tapped open Messenger. After some thought,
he sent a message to Sonia. ‘Did Zane contact you this morning?’

Meanwhile, Sonia, who was holding her laptop in her hands, was about to attend a meeting in the
meeting room. She suddenly felt a vibration from her bag, so she paused in her tracks to check her
phone.

Upon seeing that it was a message from Toby, she put down the laptop and tapped open Messenger to
read it. She saw his question and she had no intention to hide it from him, so she replied, ‘Yes. How did
you know? Could it be that he contacted you?’

He chuckled. ‘Yeah. He specifically called to yell at me.’

Sonia’s eyes widened. ‘Yell at you? Why?’

Toby leaned back in his chair. With a smile by the corner of his lips, he languidly typed, ‘I don’t know.
Maybe he had a loose screw.’

“Pfft!” Upon seeing his reply, Sonia couldn’t stifle her laughter. It turns out that he not only has good
flirting skills but also a sharp tongue. In the end, she helplessly shook her head. ‘Don’t say things like



that. He is still your friend, after all.’

Toby’s finger danced across the keyboard. ‘Okay, I’ll listen to you. Anyway, what did he tell you?’

She raised an eyebrow at that question. I see! So his true intentions are to check in on me.

Sonia chuckled, then texted Toby and explained what Zane had told her over the phone. Toby felt slightly
relieved after seeing that, as he had been worried that Zane would take the opportunity to confess his
feelings to her.

After all, Zane might want to let Sonia know his feelings since he had lost the chance to be in a
relationship with her. At the very least, his love for her would not be in vain.

Of course, Toby wasn’t worried that Sonia would be moved by Zane’s confession, but the former was
afraid that she might feel pressured when she learnt about Zane’s feelings and feel guilty for not being
able to reciprocate to Zane’s love.

Toby understood her character well enough to have such worries. Hence, he specifically asked her about
all that. Fortunately, a clear-headed Zane hadn’t said anything inappropriate to Sonia, which made Toby
feel much relieved.

And so, Toby replied, ‘Just leave him be since he only wanted to confirm if we have gotten back
together.’

She saw his message and typed, ‘I understand. Speaking of which, are you going to the hospital today?”

Toby had a surprised look on his face. ‘How did you know?’

She smiled. ‘I checked your schedule. I got it from Tim previously, so I know when you are supposed to
go for check-ups.’



No wonder! The curvature by Toby’s lips widened. She has my schedule, which shows that she pays
attention to me all the time.

A delighted Toby texted back, ‘Are you going to accompany me to the hospital?’

Fortunately, it would only be an arm check-up today and not a heart check-up, so he wasn’t worried
about what she might find out if she came along.

She nodded. ‘Of course. Your arm is in such a state because of me, so I’ll have to take full responsibility
no matter what our relationship is. Come and pick me up at Paradigm Co. later in the afternoon.’
