Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 924

Curtis noticed Toby's sudden change in expression so he followed Toby's gaze. Curtis then observed Toby glancing at his own left arm and the former instantly recalled that his wife had mentioned to him previously how the latter had broken his arm while rescuing Sonia.

He had thought that Grace was just joking back then. After all, he couldn't imagine what sort of danger Sonia could be subjected to for Toby to actually break his arm to rescue her.

However, it seemed right now that Grace was telling the truth.

"Toby, your arm's not fully recovered yet so give me some of the items and I’ll carry them inside." As soon as Curtis said that, he reached out and removed the items from Toby's left arm.

Curtis instantly felt the weight of the presents as soon as he took them from Toby. Surprised, Curtis asked, "What's inside? It seems quite heavy."

"Little Leaf mentioned that you enjoy occasional drinks and you're a wine collector. I was in possession of a few great wines so I've brought them along with me today." Toby flexed his left arm as he spoke.

At that point, he was not carrying anything on his left arm so the pain gradually dissipated.

Meanwhile, Curtis's expression brightened upon hearing that he had in his hands some wine. "Oh, did you bring me wine? That's great. That's really great."

Curtis repeated great twice and his expression was joyful as he spoke.

Evidently, Curtis was a wine lover.

As for Toby, he couldn't help chuckling upon noticing that. "Mr. Lane, I'm glad that you like it." "Yes, of course! I love wine," Curtis replied hastily.

Although he had not seen the wine gifted by Toby, he was quite sure that something from Toby would definitely be of good quality.

Perhaps it was much better than the precious wines in his collection.

At that point, he was quite excited at the thought of it and he became increasingly enthusiastic. He quickly made a welcome gesture at Toby to invite him inside. "Alright, Toby. Let's quickly head inside. They've gone inside for quite some time now so they must be waiting."

"Sure, Mr. Lane." Toby nodded his head slightly and trailed after Curtis to enter the mansion.

Inside the living room of the mansion, Sonia and Grace sat side by side. Grace held onto Sonia's hand affectionately on the former's lap as they chattered.

They seemed to be discussing something happy as the two women laughed gaily.

Just then, Toby noticed the beaming smile and bright eyes on Sonia’s face and he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile too.

"Toby, take a seat." Curtis put down the paper bags in his hand and quickly invited Toby to take a seat.

Toby hummed in response before taking a seat while Curtis stood up to pour him some tea.

As soon as Toby noticed that, he quickly stopped Curtis by lifting his hand over Curtis's hand. "Mr. Lane, there's no need to trouble yourself for such small matters. Allow me to serve myself."

He was here as their future son-in-law so it would reflect quite badly for an elder to serve him tea.

At that moment, Curtis came to his senses too and he realized that they were at home right now so they weren't exactly interacting with each other as business associates. He was a father-in-law meeting his son-in-law for the first time. As such, it was not necessary for him to serve Toby some tea.

Curtis removed his hand from the teapot and revealed an awkward smile. "I'm sorry. I'm still not used to this change in our relationship."

Toby smiled. "It's fine."

Subsequently, Toby lifted the teapot and got up to pour four cups of tea.

He handed the first one to Curtis and the second one to Grace.

Curtis immediately took the tea from Toby upon seeing Toby serve it personally and the former felt quite flattered at that point. Gosh. It's tea served to me personally by the president of Fuller Group. Other than Old Mrs. Fuller and Sonia, I must be the third person in Seafield to experience this privilege. Oh! Grace's the fourth one.

Compared to Curtis, Grace took everything in her own stride and she was quite nonchalant about everything. Unlike Curtis, she did not over-analyze the situation.

She merely felt quite pleased by Toby's action of serving them tea. After all, he was able to forsake his status to serve tea to them—his elders —so he had passed the test in her eyes.

After Grace had taken a sip of the tea, she stood up and said, "It’s quite late now. I’ll just pop into the kitchen to check on the dishes and find out how long before dinner will be ready. It should be ready quite soon."
