Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 925

Sonia looked at Grace as she said, "I understand what you mean, Mrs. Lane, but do you really not hold any grudges against me? Charles is your son and he is heartbroken because of my rejection. Do you really not blame me for that?"

"You have asked me this question before and I'll now answer you again —I've never blamed you, of course." Grace held Sonia's hands. "I've told you this before—Charles loves you, but that's his deal and you don't necessarily have to reciprocate his feelings. A relationship requires both parties to share mutual feelings for each other in order for it to work out. If two people fancy each other, they are free to be in a relationship; if one doesn't have feelings for the other, the former should reject the latter properly and the latter should move on. So, why would I blame you when you didn't do anything wrong. Although I have aged, I'm still rather open-minded. However—"

"Mrs. Lane, you can just tell me anything." Sonia looked Grace in her eyes.

Grace sighed and continued, "Although I really wish that you can become my daughter-in-law, I know that you won't be happy with Charles because he is not your type. You won't fall in love with him no matter what and forcing you two together will only turn you and him into a resentful couple. Therefore, I would rather see you find yourself a suitable partner that will make you happy than make you my daughter-in-law."

She then regained her smile. "As for Charles, he is now in a dejected state, but I believe that this is just temporary. He will move on when he meets someone suitable for him. So, Sonny, you don't need to worry about him. It's also a good thing that he is not in tonight since meeting him would only make you feel awkward, and at the same time, it would hurt him to see you together with Toby. It's for the best that you two don't see each other, don't you think so?"

"Mrs. Lane, thank you. Thank you so much! Sonia hugged her tightly.

After being stunned at first, Grace then gently patted Sonia on her back and beamed. "Don't need to thank me.

Alright, let's head out."

"Okay," Sonia responded. The corner of her lips curved upward whereby a smile was finally revealed.

The two of them left the kitchen holding hands.

However, Sonia parted with Grace on their way out and went to the washroom, so Grace returned to the living room on her own.

Upon seeing Grace returning alone without Sonia by her side, Toby immediately paused the business discussion with Curtis and asked, "Mrs. Lane, where's Little Leaf?"

Grace was glad to hear the hint of concern in his tone, but she still feigned displeasure and snorted, "She went to the washroom. What's wrong? Do you think that I would harm her?"

When he heard that Sonia had gone to use the washroom, Toby felt much relieved. "That's not what I meant. I can't help feeling worried whenever I don't see her."

"Hmph, why are you worried about her? What could happen to her when she is under my roof?" Grace rolled her eyes at him.

He pursed his lips and fell silent.

At this moment, Curtis stepped in and mediated the situation. "Alright, what nonsense are you spewing? Toby is merely worried about Sonia. The couple is now at their most intimate and inseparable stage, so it's only natural for him to feel worried when he doesn't see Sonia." "Stop putting in good words for him." She pointed at Toby. Jeez, this old man. We agreed to put Toby to a test and give him a hard time until he passes. However, he is treating Toby so well from the very beginning; he has completely forgotten about our agreement.

When Curtis, who had no idea what Grace was thinking about, heard her words, he let out an embarrassed chuckle. "Hehe. Well, Toby gave me a few bottles of lovely wine. I'll feel bad if I don't side with him this time."

She rolled her eyes at him. "Useless fool!"

As Toby peered at the middle-aged couple bickering with each other, a thoughtful look flashed across his face. Thereafter, he grabbed the bag that contained the bottles of wine and placed it on the coffee table before Curtis. "Mr. Lane, since there's still some time until dinner, would you like to check out the wine that I gifted to see whether they suit your taste?”

"Sure." Curtis immediately nodded. As a wine lover, he had wanted to open them since the moment he found out about them.

However, since they were gifts from Toby, he was embarrassed to open them when Toby was still around, so he had to hold himself back despite the strong, unbearable urge that made him feel restless.
