Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1012

Besides, he wanted the person he liked to be happy rather than expecting them to break up, and that the person who could make her happy would be another man instead of him. Even if he despised that man, he was willing to put in a good word for him. After all, he was just a great and selfless man. Charles' thoughts were bitter, but he still had to be strong and deliberately praise himself inwardly. Only by doing this could he somewhat alleviate the bitterness and helplessness in his heart.

Sonia didn't know what Charles was thinking, but as she listened to his analysis of Toby, she fell that it was not impossible either. Toby's emotional intelligence had never been stable. Sometimes he was extremely perceptive, but other times he would be so dense that it was appalling. Perhaps she really had been thinking too much into it.

At that thought, she temporarily let go of her worries and smiled at Charles. "Thank you for comforting me. I feel so much better now."

"That's good." Charles nodded before reminding her anxiously, "Of course, it's best if there is nothing between you and Toby. If something happens, don't hide it and give yourself a hard time. If he ever bullies you or treats you badly, you must tell me, and I'll avenge you even if it costs me my life."

As he said this, his expression was extremely firm and serious.

Sonia felt her eyes sting with tears as his words moved her. "All right. Thank you, Charles.”

"You don't have to thank me." After the lights turned green, Charles retracted his gaze and started driving again. As he looked at the road ahead, he said, "You treat my parents as your second parents. In that case, I'm your brother as well. As your brother, it’s natural that I have to protect you all the time. Caring for you is also my responsibility, so you don't have to thank me. This is what I should do for you."

No one knew how painful he felt when he admitted that he was her brother. If they could help it, nobody would want to be the brother of the person they liked either. However, he could only be her brother, and only the identity of being her brother could bring him closer to her without being pushed away.

Sonia didn't notice the loneliness and rue in Charles' eyes as he stared at the road ahead, and she was only moved by his words. With slightly red eyes, she replied, "I'm really glad to have a brother like you."

"Really? I'm glad. All's good as long as you're happy." Charles nodded.

That was right. Didn’t he wish for her to be happy when he let her go? As long as she was happy, what was wrong with him being her brother? He could still achieve his original intention. He should be content just by protecting her as a brother.

While talking, they arrived at the place where they had an appointment with the bank manager, which was a private room in a hotel. When Sonia and Charles followed the waiter to the room, the manager was already sitting and waiting inside with a drink.

Upon seeing the manager, Sonia and Charles were both taken aback as neither of them expected the manager to arrive before them. They had even thought they were the first to arrive, but unexpectedly, the manager had arrived earlier, which made Sonia feel a little embarrassed. After all, she was the one who had something to ask of him, and yet he had arrived earlier. What would he think of this? Would he think that she thought little of him despite having a favor to ask of him?

Sonia had a headache just from thinking about it. After rubbing her temples, she quickly stepped forward and walked to the manager before bowing. "Sorry for being late, Mr. Smith. The road was a little congested. I apologize for making you wait. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Charles joined her by her side and apologized as well. "Mr. Smith, we're really sorry. Please forgive us."
