Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1281

Even when Toby kept his back facing her when he asked the question, Lynette knew he was referring to her, and her legs froze instantly, no longer daring to retreat.

Then, the next second, she found Toby turning around with Sonia's hand in his.

"Toby…" The young woman tried to pull a smile and greet him, but when she saw his expressionless face and sub-zero stare, her words got stuck in her throat.

Toby's looking at me like he's looking at some dead animal!

The notion hurt and scared her worse than being ignored.

At the very least, being ignored meant that Toby just made light of her, but him gazing at her like she was a dead animal meant that he would feel nothing even when she died. In fact, he might be wishing she was dead.

"You sank your nails into her arm, didn't you?!" Toby reiterated, more like a definite statement rather than a question.

Lynette parted her lips and reflexively wanted to lie and deny the truth. However, Toby bore into her like he could see the deepest part of her soul, making her feel bare naked. "I… I didn't mean to do it… I just… just—" she stuttered, unable to lie at all.

"Then, what were you about to do just now?" Toby didn't care about her explanation, nor did he want to hear it, even. The only thing that mattered was if she did it, and whether it was an accident was beside the point. Hence, he interjected very quickly.

Sonia, on the other hand, smirked and quietly watched the scene unfold in his arms, for she knew her beloved was about to get back at Lynette now.

Since he wanted to avenge her, she'd just play the damsel in distress with peace of mind. Also, she had to be honest; it felt really good to have someone defending her, and even greater when it was against her beloved's admirer.

At that, she took a gander at Lynette and smiled delightfully.

Naturally, the smile aggravated Lynette; in the young woman's eyes, Sonia was challenging her.

If it weren't for the fact that Toby was standing right there, she wanted to pounce on Sonia and tear her face to shreds.

Seeing that Lynette remained silent, Toby bellowed, "Answer me! What were you about to do?!"

Lynette jolted in response, then looked fearfully toward Toby. "I… I…"

She gazed at Toby, who looked as handsome as ever, no different from when she left Caruna seven years ago, except for one thing—the man from seven years ago was forever pallid and sickly, looking weakly ravishing.

However, Toby no longer looked like that. Sure, he was still fair, but it was a healthy kind of glow, and he no longer looked weak like he always seemed seven years ago.

Not only was Toby far healthier now, but his personality had changed entirely.

The man from seven years ago was gentle and would always smile tenderly, looking like the boy next door. But now, he was on the opposite end of the spectrum, no longer gentle, and his tender smile was gone, replaced by impassiveness and aloofness. His gaze was intimidating to the point it suffocated others.

It could be said that the Toby from seven years ago was a noble yet gentle Alaskan, but the Toby now was a domineering alpha wolf, dangerous.

What happened to Toby?
