Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1361

Sonia laughed. "Why did you bring up his studies before he's even home? That poor boy might not want to come home after this."

"He won't." Toby returned the phone to her. "He's mentally strong, so he won't run away. I bet he understands he can't neglect his studies for the championships. Otherwise, I might force him to give up on the competition and come home for school. That's why he must have studied hard over there. Well, the results might not be the best, but he must be confident enough to show off to me."

"Grandma would be happy this year. Everyone's back to celebrate the new year with her." She leaned against him.

He caressed her abdomen and replied, "Yes. We also have an extra member here."

"Yeah."

Her phone buzzed again. It was a call from Grace, which was not unexpected. She and Toby registered their marriage without giving anyone a heads-up, after which they spread the news online. That was akin to dropping a bomb on those who knew them personally, so it was understandable for them to call and inquire.

Therefore, Sonia had mentally prepared herself for the influx of calls. She did not look surprised and simply picked up the calls that came in. Toby was understanding and did not interrupt her phone conversations.

Similarly, he received a lot of questions and congratulations on his end. Most were happy for him, while only a few were unwilling to accept the news, including Lynette and Anya.

Lynette, now in detention, got the news from the TV in the center. Coincidentally, she overheard the news coverage of Sonia and Toby's marriage on a public channel, which prompted her to flip the table in a fit. She bawled and wailed, saying that the news could not be true and that she found it unacceptable.

What else could she do, though? Under detention, she was unable to make a move. Not only that, she got a warning and a solitary confinement punishment for acting out.

Meanwhile, Anya swept the cosmetic products off her dressing table in a fury and stared at the marriage certificate photo on her screen with resentment. Even though she knew she stood no chance with Toby and harbored a deep hatred for the couple, she could not stop herself from feeling despair and envy when she heard the news. After all, she had once loved him with all her heart.

"Why? Are you throwing a useless tantrum because they're married?" Connor inched into the room with his crutches and sneered when he saw the mess on the floor.

She stood up and rolled her fists. "Why did they suddenly get married? There was no news about it earlier! Why?"

He stood in front of her. "Do you think I have the answer to that? I bet they decided to get married on a whim. That's why there were no leaks. Anyway, it is good news. At least now I know Toby Fuller is truly in love with that woman."

Not only was Toby willing to throw himself into the fire for her, but he was also willing to die with her. Their touching relationship was eye-opening for Connor.

Indeed, Connor had gotten to the truth behind the fire at Paradigm Co.'s factory. Although Toby's men covered up the incident well, Connor still dug up some clues after a thorough investigation. Too bad, the useless Asher failed to burn the couple alive with the arson as they emerged hurt but alive.

Still, Connor did not return empty-handed from his investigation. At the very least, he understood the depth of Toby's love for Sonia, which meant that he could use her to destroy Toby next.

Anya was clueless about Connor's plan. She was burning in rage the moment she heard him saying Toby loved Sonia. She failed to understand why Toby would be attracted to Sonia.
