Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 592

Mr. Franklin’s gaze uncomfortably shifted between the two. He then hesitated for a moment before suddenly bringing one hand up to cover his eyes. “Oh my! My old eyes can’t see anything well. Don’t mind me and carry on with whatever you are doing.”

And with each word, he slowly took little backward steps toward the exit of the pavilion.

His words finally brought Sonia back to reality, and when she realized she was still being held by Toby, she quickly pushed herself out of his embrace. Her face was flushed as she stood there in silence.

It all happened so fast that Toby could only stare at the empty space near his chest where Sonia was just seconds ago. His eyes held a hint of regret as he pursed his lips and said, “Alright now, Mr. Franklin. Don’t come in just to leave like that.”

Upon hearing that, Mr. Franklin stopped shuffling backward before cautiously removing his hand from his face. Looking at the now-separated duo, he let out an embarrassed laugh. “My apologies, Young Master Toby. I didn’t mean to intrude,” he bashfully said.

“It’s fine. Why have you come?” Toby asked while nonchalantly waving to urge him to get on with what he interrupted them for.

Seeing Toby’s unconcerned attitude, Mr. Franklin could only let out a small cough to ease his nerves before he announced his purpose. “Old Mrs. Fuller wanted me to let you know that you may go ahead and rest in the bedroom that has been prepared.”

“Sure. We’ll be there soon,” Toby said and nodded in return.

Mr. Franklin then gestured behind him and said, “I’ll take my leave first then, Young Master Toby.”

The man in question merely hummed in reply.

Done with the task he was entrusted with, Mr. Franklin then turned to leave the two of them alone to themselves at the pavilion.

After Mr. Franklin had left, Toby picked up the box with Sonia’s high heels in it and said to Sonia, “Let’s go.

I’ll take you to the room.”

She stroked her face at that and gave a simple “Okay”.

They proceeded to leave the pavilion as they headed for the bedroom. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the room, whereupon Toby opened the door for her. “This is where you’ll be spending the night. Rest well, okay?”

“Got it, and you too. I’ll be heading in then,” she replied as she took the shoebox from him.

Hearing the answer he anticipated, he nodded in acknowledgment. “Go on.”

She gave a small wave to bid him goodnight, and just when she was about to turn around to walk in, he suddenly called out to her. “Sonia, wait.”

Confused, she turned to look at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

His thin lips parted. “Don’t forget that you agreed to get together with me. You have half a month to organize your thoughts.”

The tense look on his face surprisingly made her smile. “I remember what I said,” she reassured him.

It was obvious that Toby was worried Sonia would go back on her words if she were to forget ever making such a promise to him. Why else would he mention it even though all Sonia was doing was heading to bed?

“Good,” Toby said upon hearing her answer. The strained expression on his face visibly relaxed as he loosened his grip on her wrist. With his hand in the pocket of his pants now, he said, “Get some sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow, Toby,” she smilingly said with a nod before going into her room.

Toby’s own lips curled into a smile as he looked at the closing door. At that moment, a silhouette appeared from behind. “Young Master Toby.”

The familiar voice made Toby’s smile disappear in an instant. He turned around to look at that person before questioning, “Mary, what are you doing here instead of keeping Grandma company?”

“I’m here on Old Mrs. Fuller’s behalf. She would like for you to pay her a visit,” Mary said with a smile.

Mary’s reply only made Toby raise his eyebrows quizzically. “Does Grandma need me for something?” he asked.

Without divulging much, Mary nodded. “Yes.”

“Alright,” Toby answered curtly as he started making his way toward his grandma’s room with Mary in tow. It
