Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1025

"All right, it's getting late. You'd better hurry up and finish carving the rest of the orchids. After you're done, we should eat before the food gets cold," Sonia said as she fixed her ruffled hair.

On the other hand, Toby felt relieved after finding out why she left his embrace. He had thought that she didn't want him to hug her anymore.

"Okay, I'll speed it up." Toby nodded slightly and turned around, picking up the pumpkin and carving knife he had just put down before he continued to carve.

Sonia stood next to him again, watching him carving obediently. "I really didn't expect that after you learned to carve a jade statue, you would even know how to carve an orchid."

Hearing that, Toby smiled. "A jade statue is a big object. I wouldn't have been able to carve it from the beginning. Although I have money and I don't care how much jade is wasted, the master I was under the tutelage of cared and felt sorry for the jade shards and asked me to use scraps of jade to learn carving, starting from some simple small objects. Orchids were one of those objects. After I learned some carving techniques from carving small objects and I became better at it, he started to teach me how to carve larger objects."

"I see." Sonia nodded in realization. "But this was all so long ago. I didn't expect you to remember it and still be so proficient at it. If it were me, I would've become a novice again a long time ago."

A glint flashed past Toby's eyes, but he did not reply, whether consciously or not. However, Sonia didn't sense anything wrong, and looked at the pumpkin in Toby's hand with bright eyes. She had turned the pumpkin into a mess earlier, and it barely looked like anything, much less an orchid. It was so ugly that she couldn't even bear to look at it directly. Now, however, after Toby gave it a makeover, it was already starting to look like an orchid at a glance.

She gasped, "You're amazing. So it really was salvageable. You're so amazing, Toby!"

Her praises made Toby overjoyed. His smile grew even wider, and his chin was lifted even higher than earlier. Clearly, he enjoyed her compliments, and he subconsciously became proud.

However, he still acted nonchalant on the surface and replied indifferently, "This is nothing."

Sonia wasn't aware that he was just being humble, and she felt unhappy at his nonchalant answer. She pursed her lips and said, "You call this nothing? To me, this is amazing. I can't believe that you were able to do this. You've never mentioned this to me before." She looked at him with admiring eyes.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her expression, he pursed his lips and coughed softly, pretending to be calm as he replied, "This is not something important, so I never told you in the past. As for now, I've already forgotten about it myself. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have recalled my carving skills."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, covering the glint that flashed through his gaze.

However, Sonia didn't notice anything and said gleefully, "Does that mean that I helped you rediscover your skills?"

At the sight of her proud expression, Toby extended a hand and lightly scratched her nose. "That's right."

Sonia's smile became even brighter. "It seems that I have to look for more new things in the future. That way, I might discover even more of your talents."

Toby raised his eyebrows. He hadn't expected her to be so mind blown by his skills. However, she was right about one thing—he did have some skills that he hadn't told her about or shown her yet. After all, as a part of the Fuller Family, he was destined to become the heir from the moment he was born, and he naturally had a lot to learn. Although he was not skilled in all areas, he still knew a little about everything. In short, to this day, he was still unsure what skills he had.

"All right. I'll be looking forward to the day you rediscover all of the skills that I know," he said dotingly.

Sonia nodded heavily. "Okay. Just

wait, I'll make sure of it."

"Yeah, I believe you." He nodded as well.

Then, Sonia let him do his thing and fell silent.
