Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 814

Zane couldn't help but feel that Sonia was hoping to have turned him into a cripple from that stomp she gave him. "Seriously?" The corners of his mouth made a small twitch. "Were you trying to immobilize me?! No wonder you went so heavy with your attack! I thought you had underestimated your strength by accident, but it turns out you did it on purpose!" he exclaimed as he bewilderedly pointed at her.

Sonia pouted and let out a huff. "It was your fault for trying to come between Toby and me. That was disrespectful, okay?"

Despite not looking like it, Sonia was, in fact, a little angry when she had heard Zane say those words.

He was trying to make Toby seem like the bad guy by accusing him of being an emotionally volatile and violent man.

As Toby's girlfriend, Sonia would naturally get defensive when Zane, someone whom Toby considered his friend, started slandering Toby.

Also, what kind of woman did Zane think she was, for him to suggest that she break up with Toby to get together with him?

Did he think of her as the kind of wanton woman who would get together with anyone whenever she wanted?

Who wouldn't be mad afier listening to such insulting words?', she thought.

Her stomp on his foot was a result of her accidentally losing her temper. It was his little punishment for saying anything he wanted without a care.

As Zane looked at the icy expression on Sonia's face, he quickly realized that he had said things that he shouldn't have. "I... I was just kidding," he muttered while rubbing his nose in guilt.

"You can't joke about things like this." Sonia glared at him.

Feeling remorseful, Zane lowered his head and took a seat beside Sonia. "I got it. I won't do it again. I really don't want to end up becoming a cripple," he said as he pointed at his leg.

Even though the surface of his leather shoe was shining brightly, Sonia could see the dusty shape of a shoe print on it. There was also a wrinkled spot in the otherwise smooth surface as the left and right shoes didn't even look like they were a pair then.

Sonia finally burst out laughing when she couldn't hold it in after seeing how comical the shoes looked. "It is good that you know. Not everything can be made into a joke."

"Alright, alright. I won't do it anymore," Zane sighed as he waved her off. He then quickly cast his eyes down to hide the dejected look on his face. Even though he was only fooling around with her earlier, he did put his true feelings into the words that he seemed to have mindlessly sputtered.

He really did intend to gauge how deep Sonia's feelings for Toby were, which was why he mentioned to her about Toby's bad temper and how Toby might even hurt women when he became violent. Zane wanted to see whether she would start having doubts about the man she had chosen after hearing his words.

If she had shown the slightest bit of hesitation, or if she started to wonder whether Toby really would get physical with a woman, that would mean that her love for Toby hadn't returned to what it was during those 6 years. In that case, their relationship this time around would probably break off before long.

And that, of course, would be his cue to take his chance.

Zane knew how despicable it was for him to tarnish Toby's name in order to raise himself, but humans were selfish beings after all. It wasn't as though he had done anything other than smear some dirt over Toby's name. Zane was only doing what he could when he had the opportunity to. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with him fighting for the woman he liked.

Furthermore, if her love for Toby didn't run as deep as Zabe thought and he still stood a chance to win her heart, he might just have to get involved and do something to make them split up quickly. At least that way, they wouldn’t have to drag on a fruitless relationship that would eventually end with both parties being deeply wounded.

On the contrary, Zane would completely back off on his own accord if they were already head over heels for one another.

Despite his hopes, he had proved that Sonia had deep feelings for Toby. Not only did she trust him with all her heart, she also defended him when Zane had talked about him behind his back. She was the kind of lover and protector Zane was envious of Toby for having.

Maybe it really is time to let her go, he thought as a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Even though he had told Toby that he was going to give up on Sonia, a small part of him couldn't do it. His unwillingness only worsened when he saw her again today, which was why he momentarily set aside what he had promised Toby before, and went ahead to take a shot at Sonia again.

However, what Zane had received in return for his perseverance was, yet again, another rejection. It seemed like fate was not going to give him what he wanted. Toby you lucky dog, he sighed.

For the same woman whom Toby hurt before to somehow end up falling for him again, Toby must have had some kind of otherworldly good luck that normal people did not possess.
