Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 861

"But..." Sonia instantly lifted her head from his shoulder upon hearing what he said. As she looked at his attractive face, she was tempted to do as told.

The next moment, she quickly shook her head and rejected. "It's alright.

Anya might be arriving soon."

"What if she doesn't?" Toby asked her.

She rolled her eyes at him as she replied, "You always disagree with me."

"That isn’t my intention. Don't you think that there might be a chance that Anya might not turn up? Toby looked at Sonia earnestly. "How are we to know whether she'd come for sure? What if she doesn't? Are you going to keep trying to stay awake while waiting for her? Don't you feel groggy?"

Sonia didn't know how to reply when she heard the logical points he made. Of course, she felt groggy. She was so tired that she felt light-headed.

He sighed and pulled her into his arms when he noticed that she was so tired that she might fall asleep at a moment's notice. Then, he gently arranged her, so her head was laid on his lap. "Have some sleep. It doesn't matter when she reaches. Just sleep while we have time. How would you have the energy to face her later if you lack rest? You might not have the energy to confront her."

Sonia nodded thoughtfully when she heard his suggestions. "What you said makes sense, and you've successfully convinced me. Okay, I'll take a nap. Wake me up once she is here?

"Yes, I will." Toby nodded slightly and said, "I'm here, so just sleep."

Toby's words gave Sonia a sense of security. Then, she smiled as she shut her eyes and mumbled softly, "Fine, I'll take a nap, but don't you feel tired?" "I'm not tired," he replied gently as he stroked her long, silky hair. "Haven't I told you before that I can stay up for two consecutive nights without issues? As of now, it hasn't been that long yet."

"Alright, you're incredible. I can't do something like that. Just remember to wake me up."

Sonia yawned once again after completing her sentence and closed her eyes at ease.

Soon, her breathing deepened and slowed as she fell asleep.

Toby smiled as he looked at her while gently touching her face with the back of his hand.

She truly was one of a kind, being able to fall asleep at the drop of a hat.

After he slowly freed one of his hands, he briefly tapped on his smartphone and quickly kept it away.

Soon after, the door of the lounge cracked open. A female officer walked in with a blanket and whispered, "President Fuller, this is the blanket you requested."

He stretched his hand out without saying a word.

The female officer walked over quietly when she noticed his actions. Once she was not far from him, she paused and passed the blanket to him.

After Toby received the blanket from her, he gave her a nod of thanks.

The female officer merely waved him off with a smile and left the room, not before glancing an envious look at Sonia, who was sleeping on his lap.

As she left the room, she quietly shut the door, not making any noise at all.

It was obvious that she had received Toby's instruction beforehand to be quiet so that she didn't interrupt

Sonia's sleep.

Slowly, he unfolded the blanket and covered Sonia with it.

Sonia squirmed, feeling a bit unused to the sensation when she sensed something against her body.

Toby thought that he had used too much force when he covered her with the blanket, which woke her up. So, he swiftly patted her back as if patting a baby to sleep.

Soon, she calmed down again. However, he didn't stop and continued patting her back lightly.

After some time, someone knocked on the door. It was only then did he stop patting her back, but he still had his hand on her back.

The person outside seemed to know that Toby would not answer. After knocking twice, she opened the door.

It was the female officer from before this.

As she stood outside the door, she stuck her head in. "President Fuller, Ms. Steinfeld has arrived."

When he heard that name, his expression turned solemn, and his eyes looked cold. The next moment, he nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll be there soon."
