Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1061

"You mean Lynette?” Toby raised his eyebrow.

She's asking about Harry and now his granddaughter? Just what is she up to?

"So, that's her name." She smiled lightly. "That's a cute name, but you haven't answered my question yet.

What do you think of Miss Lore?"

He contemplated and a young face conjured in his mind. It was so blurry that he could barely make the outlines of her face. "Nothing." "Nothing?" His answer stupefied her for a moment.

Given Toby's reverence for Harry, she assumed that he would have a deep impression of the Lore Family. His response was beyond her expectations. Furthermore, she could tell that he was telling the truth.

"Why so? Isn't she the granddaughter of your teacher? You guys should be close. You’ve grown up together, right?" Sonia looked at the man with pursed lips.

His brows furrowed deeply as he tapped her forehead. "I learned from my teacher, not his granddaughter. So, how am I supposed to be close with her? And what? Growing up together? You're not the one to say that. Both of us are the one that has grown up together. You were ten when we became penpals, right?"

Covering her forehead, she finally let out a genuine smile. "I thought you grew up with Miss Lore and that you're close with her."

It was true; never once had he told Sonia who he grew up with. It was merely her assumption upon the discovery of the mastermind's identity—Lynette. Since Lynette was the granddaughter of Toby's teacher, it was possible for them to get along. Still, Sonia had over-thought about it.

Since Toby didn't grow up with Miss Lore and he's not close with her, I bet he won't protect her after knowing she's the mastermind of the whole scandal.

As an afterthought, she thought of giving him a chance by testing him.

She stared at him. "Do you have any feelings for Miss Lore?"

Her question almost had him laughing. "What sort of feelings should I have for her?"

They were not close at all. He was Lynette's uncle at most and they barely met or spoke to each other. Other than that, there was nothing more between them.

"Good." Sonia nodded. "But are you aware that Miss Lore likes you? Not in a familiar way, but romantically."

Her words put Toby into a trance. The silent Charles realized something as his mouth gaped. "Sonia, do you think that Lynette is the one behind all this? You've said that the mastermind is Toby's pursuer and now you're mentioning Lynette's feelings for Toby instead of anyone else. It’s obvious that you're telling us it's Lynette all along."

"Is it true?" Toby's face darkened in a split second.

She looked at him and nodded slowly.
