Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 838

Sonia pulled her hand away before sitting down on the couch. "You're doing it for the company. You're not cheating on me, so you don't have to feel sorry for anything. It's not wrong for you to be too busy to spend time with me once in a while-l'm not the sort of woman who Insists on being with you all the time, anyway. I have a company to run myself, and I, too, don't have time to be with you when I'm busy. Do you think I should feel guilty for that?" she asked.

“No." Toby shook his head.

"Exactly." Sonia patted the seat beside her to get Toby to sit down. "As long as you're not cheating, and as long as you still have feelings for me, you don't have to feel sorry toward me at all. We're grown-ups, and both our career and our relationship matter a lot to us. Sometimes, it's inevitable for someone to neglect the other party due to our work—that doesn't mean that we're doing anything wrong. So, you don't have to think that you owe me anything just because you're too busy to spend time with me."

Toby gazed at the woman before his eyes. He knew that she uttered all those words so that he wouldn't overthink the situation. "Okay. I won't say that in the future." He smiled as a surge of warmth filled his chest.

"Let's eat." Sonia beamed and leaned forward to look at the lunchbox that he had brought. "What did you bring?"

Toby placed the lunchbox on the coffee table before opening it slowly. "While I was on the way back, I passed by a seafood restaurant that you spoke of in the past. I recall you saying that the restaurant was good, so I brought some of their dishes over" he explained.

A look of joy and surprise formed on Sonia's face upon hearing the man's words. "Really? That's great. I love seafood, and I miss the feeling of eating spicy seafood. Thank you, Toby."

The smile on his face broadened. “Well, why don't you take a look at the dishes to see if you like them?” He placed the few dishes out on the table.

Sonia only took one glance to realize that Toby had selected all of the signature dishes in that restaurant. She lifted her cutleries while smiling and nodding. "I love it. I love all types of seafood."

"That’s great. Try this. How does it taste?" Toby gave her some steamed fish as he spoke. "I never tried these dishes before, so I don't know how good they are. It sure looks good."

"How bad could the dishes taste? You were the one who bought them, after all.” Sonia smiled before eating a mouthful of the fish that Toby had just placed in her bowl. The burning, spicy sensation filled her mouth, and her face turned as red as a tomato. Tears began to form in her eyes.

It was clear that the steamed fish was extremely spicy. Sonia had to open her mouth before fanning herself with her hand. "It's so spicy!" she cried.

Toby frowned when she saw how spicy the fish was for her. He quickly lowered his cutlery before handing her a glass of water. "Drink some water."
