Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 786

Toby noticed the dejected expression on Sonia's face and he subsequently placed a prawn onto her plate. "You haven't had any seafood for quite some time now, so you should enjoy this meal. Have some more. In the future. I'll accompany you and get seafood whenever you crave it."

Sonia was very touched to hear his words and she nodded her head with a smile. "Sure! I'll hold you accountable to that, then. I warn you, though—you'd better not renege on your words because of your busy schedule."

"I won't." Toby shook his head. "Well, the worst that could happen would be that I deal with work while eating seafood with you. I could deal with the paperwork and hold a conference while we eat if you don't find it annoying."

"Pfft!" Sonia couldn't control her laughter as soon as she heard his description.

"What do you mean by holding a conference and dealing with your paperwork while eating seafood with me? Stop pulling my leg."

Indeed, Sonia found his words quite amusing and she envisioned the situation of him sitting in a conference room with tens to hundreds of people, holding a meeting while sitting on his spot with a platter of seafood in front of him. The whole time, Toby would peel prawns while he spoke to the crowd regarding the content of the meeting.

The scene in her mind was extremely amusing to her and she couldn’t contain her laughter at all. At once, her face flushed red from the excitement she felt.

At that moment, Toby stared at her. "Alright, alright. You've laughed long enough. Don't laugh too long because you might become breathless." Sonia nodded her head repeatedly. "Yeah, I know that." Subsequently, she took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Just then, Toby picked up a crab and placed it on his plate. Following that, he slipped some disposable gloves on while mentioning, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling much better now?"

Meanwhile, Sonia lifted her brows. "So did you purposely say that you were going to accompany me for some seafood while holding a conference to cheer me up?" "Something like that." Toby put on his gloves and opened another box. Inside the box, there were some professional tools used to peel a crab.

Upon hearing that, Sonia instantly felt a warm, fuzzy feeling. "Of course I feel better! I just laughed so happily earlier, so my mood's definitely great. However, I didn't expect that you would actually take the initiative to cheer me up."

Toby lifted his head to glance at her and warmly murmured, "You're the person I love, so of course I will do so." Then, he lowered his head and started to peel the crab.

This was the first time ever that Sonia had seen Toby peel a crab. In fact, it wasn't a dignified thing to do and especially for someone belonging to such high social circles, it could even be considered to be a very vulgar move as it seemed to be quite unhygienic.

Therefore, ones belonging to such social circles didn't generally eat crabs. They generally ate crabs that had been dismantled and well-processed. Basically, none of them would actually personally peel a crab. That would be considered a disruption to their pristine image and they were much more worried about the mocking voices of the others. Even Sonia didn't tend to personally peel a crab when she was eating with someone else. She normally did that in private, when she was by herself or if she dined with Charles. Those were the only times when she would disregard her image and take action. Other than that, she didn't generally do that when she was outside.

She had assumed that Toby was the same and he wouldn't actually lift a finger himself. Unexpectedly though, he had done something on the contrary and dismantled a crab personally. Furthermore, his actions weren't the least bit vulgar at all. On the other hand, he looked exceptionally refined and it was a pleasure to see him do the job.

Sonia was captivated and she couldn't even take her eyes off him.

Anyway, Toby seemed to be the only one who was able to perform an act generally shunned and widely avoided by people in their social circles so artistically and enjoyably.

As such, Sonia couldn't help looking at Toby with an admirable gaze.

At the same time, Toby sensed it and he lifted his head to look at her. He saw that she was staring unblinkingly at the crab in his hands, and the smile on his face instantly deepened but he didn't say a word. Subsequently, he lowered his head once again and continued to handle the crab in his hands. This time, his movements were much faster than before.

After a few minutes, Toby finally finished removing all of the meat from the crab, and he placed the crabmeat and roe back into the back of the shell. The yellowish filling glistened and the whole shell was filled to the brim. Just by a light touch, the crabmeat and roe quivered and it looked very appetizing, to the point where one was tempted to take a huge scoop of it into one's mouth. It would definitely be great to have a mouth filled with crab meat.
