Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1178

Rose wanted to knock some sense into Toby's head so that he could swoop in and completely cheer Sonia up immediately.

When Toby regained his composure after Rose's reminder, she assumed that he would humor Sonia with some sweet talk. Still, to her pleasant surprise, he immediately embraced Sonia, which exceeded her expectations.

A hug was far more effective than sweet talks.

Indeed, she was now old, so her ideas were somewhat conservative, but it didn't matter as long as Toby was bold and straightforward.

Rose grinned from ear to ear when she looked at the couple hugging each other.

Mary noticed the delightful smile on Rose's face. Although she didn't know why Rose was so happy, she felt relieved and reassured.

On the other hand, Sonia finally came to her senses in Toby's arms. She raised her arms and nudged Toby, attempting to push him away, but unlike her shove when he kissed her earlier, she pushed him very gently this time.

After all, Rose and Mary were watching them, and she couldn't push Toby away with all her might. Hence, she patted his back lightly with a flushed face, signaling him to release her.

Frankly speaking, she was quite embarrassed when he decided to shower her with affection with an audience.

However, Toby had no intention of letting go of Sonia, although he sensed the silent implication behind her actions. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her tightly and snuggled her close.

Sonia's body stiffened. Then, she sighed in resignation, leaned over, and whispered, "Toby, what are you doing? Let me go. Mary and Grandma are watching."

"No, I don't want to let you go." Toby wrapped one arm around her waist and stroked her hair gently with the other hand. "You don't have to envy me. You have a family too. I'm your family, so my family is yours too. You told Grandma that you wished she could treat you as her own granddaughter. Have you forgotten? So, we are your family, and you can treat her as your grandmother too."

Sonia suddenly froze when she heard his remark, and her hand suspended mid-motion.

"C-Can you read minds?" Her slightly widened eyes were full of astonishment.

Toby chuckled. "I knew what you were thinking just by looking at your eyes. Also, the way you looked at me carried such an obvious longing, so it was only natural for me to be able to guess what you were thinking."

Sonia leaned her head on his shoulder and chuckled. "You know me so well. I feel like I can't hide any secrets from you."

"That's about right. It shows that we can be honest with each other, isn't it?" Toby ran his fingers through her smooth and silky hair lovingly.

"You're right." Sonia smiled happily. At this moment, she completely forgot about Rose and Mary.

When Toby hugged her, she was flustered because she didn't expect Toby to be so affectionate in front of Rose and Mary. Nevertheless, she was touched when she heard Toby's warm reassurance and wholly ignored her surroundings. All she could feel right now was the man hugging her and the tenderness she held for him in her heart.

Meanwhile, Rose and Mary were amused to see the couple snuggling up to each other.

"Mary, do you see how touched Sonny is? I wonder what Toby said to her to make her feel that way," Rose looked up and asked Mary, who was standing beside her.

Mary shook her head. "How should I know, Old Madam? But I guess it's some romantic words that can instantly cheer Miss Reed up."

"Perhaps." Rose nodded.

"Old Madam." At this moment, a servant walked in from the living hall.

Sonia recognized the person immediately. It was none other than Olivia, whom Toby had specially assigned to take care of her when she lost her sight.
