Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 852

Looking at the concern on Toby’s face and the expression of wanting to do her justice, Sonia felt a warm sensation fill her heart.

"I'm sorry; I lost the gown and your suit," she replied and sniffled with a remorseful voice.

"What?” He froze for a moment and asked, "You lost them?"

So, she wasn’t bullied after all. I took it the wrong way. Hang on, was she upset and nervous earlier because she lost clothes worth a few million?

Well, it was not entirely impossible. A few million was nothing to him. Even if that amount of money fell to the ground, he would not be bothered to bend down and pick them up. This amount of money was close to zero for him. But for her, that was a lot of money.

No wonder she acted this way.

Toby patted her shoulder with an amused look on his face. "That’s alright. I am your man, and don’t forget that I am rich. If the clothes are lost, we'll just get a new one," he said.

Moreover, he had always believed that his money was all hers, and that’s why he had linked her phone number to his credit card. On top of that, his card had no set limit, so she could use it as much as she wanted for however long she wanted.

However, he could only do all this without her knowing. If she had known, she would have gone to the bank and gotten the card unlinked.

Sonia was still blaming herself and feeling guilty, but a laugh bubbled out of her as she heard him bragging about being wealthy. After she stopped laughing, she calmed down and raised her eyes to gaze at him. "When I say I lost the clothes, I didn't mean I accidentally forgot them somewhere and couldn't find them. Rather, they were robbed by a man,” she explained.

"What?" Toby’s expression shifted from amusement to concern when he heard what she said. Then, he hugged her tighter once more before he let loose to make sure that she wasn’t hurt. "Are you okay?" he asked.

He was not in a rush to ask how exactly the clothes were robbed. What he was concerned about was only her safety.

Sonia was moved when she saw his troubled expression. "Don’t worry. I'm fine," she replied as she shook her head slightly.

However, Toby remained skeptical of her response. He gently lifted her hand up and squeezed her arm and shoulder, checking to see if she had lied because she didn’t want him to worry. After all, if she had been harmed, a slight squeeze like this would cause her to flinch out of pain.

In the end, he concluded that she was not hurt because she showed no signs of pain during his examination. The realization had relieved his worries, and his pounding heart had finally dropped back to normal speed.

Then, he gently pulled her hand and made her sit on the couch. "I am glad that you are okay. Now, tell me exactly how it happened," he queried as they sat down.

After Sonia settled herself in a comfortable position on the couch, she explained, "I came out of the mall after picking up our clothes and getting ready to leave. However, just as I was going to get into my car, a man passed by and snatched the garment bags from me. Then, I gave chase—"

"Wait. What do you mean by 'gave chase'?" Toby interrupted with a miffed tone. His expression darkened as he increased the force of his hand that closed around her wrist. Clearly, he was getting irritated. "Do you realize how risky that is? To chase after a robber? Have you ever considered what might happen to you?" he ranted as he stared at her. There were flames in his eyes, but there were also concerns and tensions.

How can I not worry? Toby couldn’t believe that she had the guts to chase after a robber.

These thugs were dangerous and crazy, which is why they dared to rob such valuable items in public. Based on the value of the gown and suit, the robber might have to serve a life sentence in prison. Therefore, only repeat offenders with nothing to lose would do such things.
