Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 195

Toby was staring at the floor, so Sonia couldn’t see his eyes and find out she was right. “No. I just wanted to know what the manager had to say,” he answered calmly as if he wasn’t lying.

But Sonia was convinced, so she nodded. “I see.” So I was just reading too much into it. He hates me. There’s no way he’d let the manager think I’m his wife. “But why’d you want to join the event, Mr. Fuller?” Sonia looked at him.

Toby lied. “For Douglas. He’s Zane’s nephew, and I’m his friend. I’m helping Zane out with Douglas.” He didn’t want her to know that it was just because he wanted to join the event with her, though he didn’t know why.

“I see.” Sonia shrugged. She didn’t suspect anything, for Toby and Zane were friends, so taking care of Zane’s nephew was normal.

Eventually, they came to the registration counter. Since they were gorgeous, the restaurant’s patrons had their eyes on the “family”.

After they finished registering, Sonia held Douglas’ left hand, while Toby held the boy’s right. They stood together with the other families as they waited for the event to start.

The woman beside them huddled closer and kept staring at the three of them.

Sonia eventually felt uncomfortable from the stare, so she asked, “Yes, do you need anything, madam?”

The woman praised her. “You’re such a good match for your husband, miss. A gorgeous couple, I must say. Never seen one as beautiful as the two of you. You’re even prettier than celebrities. No wonder your son is so adorable.” She looked at Toby and Douglas, then her

husband and son, and she sighed. You can’t compare.

Sonia felt awkward. If they were a great match, they wouldn’t have ended up divorced. “You flatter me, madam. We’re just an ordinary family. We’re not as great as you make us out to be.” Sonia forced a smile.

Since she had agreed to act as Douglas’ mom, she couldn’t tell the woman she wasn’t Toby’s wife, nor could she tell her Douglas wasn’t their son. All she could do was lie through her teeth.

“You call this ordinary? Are you kidding me? Humblebragging, I see.” The madam glanced at Sonia.

Sonia’s lips twitched, but she said nothing.

Toby suddenly looked at her. “What did you say to her?”

Sonia looked away. “Nothing. Just guessing about the games.” She wouldn’t tell him the woman said they were a great match, not when they were already divorced.

Toby pursed his lips, disappointed that Sonia didn’t tell him the truth. He heard the whole conversation. Even though the woman was practically whispering, it didn’t escape Toby. He only asked Sonia because he wanted to hear it from her, but she didn’t want to tell him. Thus, Toby stared down in silence, crestfallen.

The event started a short while later. There would be three rounds, consisting of three games. The first one was suck and blow; the second one was pushups, and the third one was a three-legged race.

The first round would eliminate two families that got the fewest points, while the second game would eliminate one family, leaving the best two to fight for first place. If they got first place, they would get the Gundam that Douglas wanted, as well as a free voucher. The other families would also get some prizes, though not as great as the first place’s prize.

When Sonia saw what the first game was, she frowned.
