Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 928

"Yeah, we're a little hungry." Sonia touched her stomach without being reserved with Grace. After all, they were very close, so there was no need to stand on ceremony.

Hearing her reply, Grace hurriedly said, "In that case, let's hurry and go there."

Sonia nodded with a smile. "Alright. Mr. and Mrs. Lane, please go first. We'll follow you from behind."

Curtis then headed for the dining room while taking Grace by the hand, whereas Toby followed behind them while holding Sonia's hand.

As they walked, Sonia gently tickled Toby's palm with her fingertips.

Toby wrapped his fingers around her hand to keep her out of mischief. Then, he asked in a whisper, "What’s the matter?"

Sonia pointed at Curtis and Grace, who were walking ahead of them, with one hand while cupping the other hand around her mouth. She whispered, "What happened? Why did Mrs. Lane's attitude toward you change so greatly?" Curtis had been more friendly toward Toby when they came, whereas Grace had been relatively cold toward him. Sonia knew that Grace had purposely put on a cold front for the purpose of testing Toby, but could she have finished testing him so soon?

Toby's thin lips curled up slightly at Sonia's curious question. "That's simple. I let them open the presents to take a look."

The instant he said that, Sonia immediately figured out what had happened. After raising her pretty eyebrows for a moment, she gave him a thumbs up. "That was a smart move. I thought you'd only give them the presents before we leave."

"That wouldn't be necessary," Toby replied with a chuckle. "I could make Mrs. Lane approve of me sooner by doing so, so why not?"

"Well, you're right." Sonia giggled as well.

Curtis and Grace had seated themselves in the dining room. Seeing that Sonia and Toby had just entered through the door, they couldn't help but urge, "Sonia, Toby, what are you two talking about? Hurry and come over."

"We're coming," Sonia replied with a smile. Then, she took Toby's hand and quickened her pace toward them.

The four of them had a pleasant dinner. Sonia and Grace discussed women's favorite topics like cosmetics, clothing, and shoes, whereas Toby and Curtis talked about some business-related matters. They didn't butt in on each other, but their conversations were harmonious.

It wasn't until 11:00 PM that Sonia and Toby took their leave. Grace wanted to persuade them to stay here for the night, but Sonia and Toby turned it down. Sonia refused Grace's invitation for a simple reason: she knew that Toby didn't like staying overnight at someone else's home, so she naturally wouldn't disregard his feelings. As for Toby, his intention in refusing Grace's invitation was even more straightforward. He wanted to have some quiet time together with Sonia at night, but how could they do so if they were to stay at somebody else's home?

Seeing that Sonia and Toby were determined to leave, Grace had no choice but to give up and let them leave. She and Curtis then saw the couple to the door.

She hugged Sonia outside the villa, saying, "Sonny, tell Toby to drive slower and be careful on your way home, okay?” She tucked Sonia's hair behind her ears.

Sonia nodded with a smile. "I will," she said while turning to look at the man standing next to the car.

Sensing her gaze, the man turned his head slightly to meet her gaze before giving her a faint and yet charming smile.

Seeing the interaction between the young couple, Grace couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. They're so affectionate toward each other, being lovey-dovey at all times. Well, this is a good thing. Now that they seem to have no problem getting back together, I can finally put my mind at rest. "Just go." She let go of Sonia's hand and pushed her toward Toby. Sonia took a hesitant step forward, upon which Toby immediately stepped forward and took her into his arms.

Sonia seemed somewhat embarrassed as she smelled the refreshing mint perfume on Toby. Her cheeks blushing slightly, she looked back and called out to Grace, "Mrs. Lane..."
