Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 562

Toby gently swirled the glass of juice in his hand and the bright red liquid looked even more translucent and beautiful under the hall lights. He tilted his head before taking a sip—it was sweet; in fact, it was so sweet that even his heart was coated in honey.

At this moment, Sonia took the glass of red wine that she had snatched from his grasp earlier and took a sip. Then, she answered his earlier question, “Well, Nancy is not willing to break off the engagement.” “She loves him?” Toby looked at her.

He was referring to the scum Will Lazuli.

She shook her head. “Of course not. Nancy said that since the person she wants to marry is no longer around, she would marry Will for her family’s sake. Anyway, she feels that it’ll be the same with whoever she marries as they would still live separate lives after the marriage.”

“I see.” He nodded before looking away. After he watched the couple leave the stage, he tilted his head and finished the remaining juice in his glass with one gulp. Then, he set aside the glass and informed Sonia, “I'm going to see Will's father. Do you want to come with me?”

Sonia waved her hand. “I won't go; I don't know him.”

“That's fine. Just wait for me here and eat something. I’ll be back soon.” He picked up a platter and threw two pieces of mango-flavored snacks on it before he handed the plate to her.

After she reached out to take it, she replied, “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”

“In that case, I'm leaving.” Toby smiled a little and turned to make a move.

After he left, Sonia suddenly froze. Strange, why did I promise to wait for him?

The answer to it vaguely surfaced in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it again. She lowered her head and used a delicate silver fork to break the snack into bite-size bits before she placed it into her mouth. The moment she bit into it, she could taste that it was exceptionally treacly. Strangely enough, although the taste was definitely not as good as that made by a pastry chef in the high-end hotel, for some reason, she felt that this particular morsel was much tastier.

Sonia sat on the couch in the corner and ate the snacks while waiting for Toby to return. After she waited for a while, she placed her plate aside before heading to the bathroom where she stood in front of the sink to wash her hands and fix her makeup. Suddenly, she saw from the mirror that the compartment door behind her had opened to reveal Jessica coming out while ruffling her hair.

Sonia immediately placed the lipstick in her hand aside to turn around and greet, “Jessica!”

Jessica paused in her action of fixing her hair, then she raised her head. "Who... Sonia?"

Her voice was shrill with surprise and the gaze that she fixed at Sonia was full of shock and disbelief.

“Why are you here?” Jessica loudly questioned as she took two steps forward to stop in front of Sonia.

Sonia covered her lipstick and kept it in her purse. Then, she gently replied, “I came to attend my friend's engagement party, so why can't I be here?”

“Friend?” Jessica quickly reacted as her face contorted for a moment. “You're Nancy Sandstone's friend?”

Nancy Sandstone was Will Lazuli’s

fiancee.

After Sonia crossed her arms, she answered, “Yes, but you seem to have a problem with Nancy. Is it because of her fiance?”
