Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 460

"Of course, I'm happy. This is the first time I've heard you defend me in front of Charles and the others." Toby spoke as he leaned against the headboard.

Sonia's eyes flashed for a moment before she lowered her eyelids. "You are my benefactor, so I naturally have to defend you; otherwise, I would be inhuman."

"Just a benefactor?" He looked at her.

Her heart skipped a beat whereby her eyelids drooped even lower. "What else?"

He merely stared at her and didn’t say anything else. It was only a long while later that he gently opened his thin lips and said, "Well, I'm okay with being your benefactor too. Let’s have our breakfast first."

Then, he pointed to the Thermos flask at the bedside, which was what the caregiver had bought earlier in the morning. Sonia turned her head to look before she nodded and walked over to open the container. Afterward, she divided the breakfast into two portions—one for Toby and the other for herself. She didn’t start digging in, but rather she picked up Toby’s portion and sat by his bedside, ready to feed him like she did last night. However, he refused the offer by gently blocking the spoon while saying, "You should eat first and feed me after that."

"Is there any difference?" a suspicious Sonia asked.

His thin lips moved slightly as he explained, "I don't want you to be hungry."

As she heard these words, something moved in her heart whereby she began to look at him in a complicated way. While maintaining her hold on the spoon in her hand, she moved her lips, but took her time to respond. "I'm okay; I'm not ravenous. Besides, you're the patient, so you should eat first." "I'm a man," Toby suddenly proclaimed.

Sonia tilted her head, not quite comprehending what he meant. It’s just breakfast. Ilshat is the relevance of that to his gender?

While staring at the confusion in her eyes, he smiled lightly. "I mean, I'm a patient, but I'm also a man. And as a man, ladies first is a basic etiquette, which is why you should fill your stomach first."

"Um-"

She wanted to reply, but he interrupted, "Listen to me."

Since Toby’s tone carried a hint of dominance, Sonia finally agreed. "Okay then."

She picked up the spoon to take her share and proceeded to dig in. However, she never meant to finish it, which was why after she took a bite, she placed the bowl down and went to take his container again.

When he saw this, his eyebrows twitched. "You’re—"

Sonia scooped a spoonful of food and brought it to his lips. "I'll take a bite and feed you a spoonful, so that we can eat together and no one will go hungry. Isn’t that good?"

Toby froze for a moment as he obviously was never expecting her to think of this solution. For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh. "It's a good idea, but don't you find it troublesome?"

"If I thought it was troublesome, I wouldn't have come to take care of you. Now, open your mouth," she ordered after slightly smiling.

Thus, he did as he was told. The two of them took nearly 20 minutes to finish their breakfast together through this method. Since she had to constantly change bowls, it was highly likely the most tiring breakfast that she ever had, but instead of feeling exhausted, her heart felt happy. How is it possible to feel happy just from eating such light and tasteless food? I’m probably bewitched.

Upon thinking of this, she shook her

head.

When Toby saw this, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
