Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1280

As the thought came to Lynette, her breathing grew heavier by the second.

However, the second she touched Sonia's back, an angry and malicious male voice rang behind her. "Lynette Lore, touch her and I'll send you flying out of here!"

The voice rendered the young woman aghast, for it belonged to none other than Toby.

Just like that, her hand froze mid-air, no longer daring to do anything. Meanwhile, Lynette stood rooted to the floor, pale-faced and drenched in sweat as fear and panic surged beneath her eyes.

How can this be?! What is Toby doing here? He even caught me about to push Sonia over! What is he going to make of me now? Will he think I'm a wicked woman?!

Unsurprisingly, it never occurred to the young woman how her actions could affect Sonia. Rather, she was worried that Toby's impression of her would plummet.

Sonia had stopped as well when she heard Toby's voice, and his threat shocked her even more so.

If her guess was right, it meant that Lynette was about to do something to her right behind her back.

At that, she turned around at once, but before she could manage to catch Lynette's reaction, Toby had already moved toward her grimly.

Meanwhile, Lynette finally came to herself when Toby walked past her, and she hurriedly reached out to grab the man. "Toby…"

However, he lifted his arm and impassively avoided her touch, then walked past her without even sparing the woman a glance.

At that moment, Lynette thought her heart had sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and it felt as though someone had dumped a bucket of ice water on her. Tears instantly pooled in her red-rimmed eyes as grievance enveloped her face.

Did Toby pretend not to have seen me?! It was something that would never have happened.

In the past, he would always respond whenever she greeted him. Sure, he never replied enthusiastically, but he would still nod or hum a response instead of ignoring her completely like she was invisible.

Toby has changed! No, maybe he hasn't. That woman must've threatened him. Yes, that must be it! She probably forbade him to talk to any other woman but her!

As Lynette grew more confident of her guess, her gaze at Sonia turned more baleful by the second, looking like it had been doused in poison, wanting to rot the woman away.

In her mind, the reason Toby ignored her had nothing to do with Toby himself; she believed that Sonia had egged him, and it was all of Sonia's doing.

On the other hand, Sonia rolled her eyes at the young woman's reaction and couldn't be bothered to give a damn. At that, she withdrew her gaze and looked at her beloved. "What are you—"

"You okay?" Toby grabbed her shoulders and sized her up with nothing but worry in his eyes. "Did she do anything to you? Are you hurt?" he peppered anxiously.

Before Sonia could even respond to such concern, Lynette was already beside herself with jealousy.

She couldn't believe Toby would be so concerned about Sonia and even questioned if she had bullied Sonia!

How can Toby do this?! Doesn't he feel nothing for Sonia?! Why would he care if she got bullied and if she was hurt?! Can it be… Does he actually… No! No, no, no, no, no! No, that's impossible! He would never!

Lynette shook her head violently and dismissed the inchoate thought at once.
