Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 966

What did she just say?

No more reward?!

My long-awaited reward disappeared just like that?

Gone?!

As though trying to reconfirm if he had heard or if she had said wrongly, Toby only looked at Sonia in disbelief.

Seeing his gaze, she solemnly nodded and assured him that there was no mistake in the words that he had heard.

She was serious about not giving him his reward!

Toby's mind was utterly blank at that point. It felt as though his world had crumbled, and he was left to dumbly stand there without knowing how to react.

This was actually the first time Sonia had seen such an expression on his face. She couldn't help but notice how mismatched that silly, dumbfounded look was with his image.

However, it wasn't as if she didn't know why he was reacting this way. It had probably been a blow to his ego when she told him that she was taking back his reward.

After all, men in their thirties had the sex drive of a lion.

From the way Toby desired after her during the few times they were together, she could say for sure that he was definitely a lion in bed.

It was expected that he would look forward to spending a wonderful night if she had made him the promise earlier during the day.

There was no way Toby's ego would be intact after Sonia had singlehandedly destroyed the one thing he anticipated.

It was like a child who had been promised by their parents a bucket of fried chicken if they were to get first place in a school examination.

And yet, all the child got when they one day happily returned home with the test paper in their hand was their parents' failure to fulfill their promise.

It was easy to imagine how the child would feel—completely and utterly cold. It was probably a coldness that seeped through their skin and into their bones as though cold water had been poured on them, soaking them from head to toe.

And the cold disappointment Toby was feeling now was exactly like how the child would feel.

Still, Sonia mused that it wasn't her fault. It was that dirty dog's fault for getting excited over her in the kitchen, in her office, or in the car, where he would steal a bit or two. After all, those were in their own territory.

But he was gradually overstepping the boundary now. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that they were at someone else' place, and he wasn't at all scared of being made fun of if caught red-handed.

Toby might be fearless, but Sonia was

not.

Canceling the reward she had promised him might be beneficial in the long-run, lest he get more and more out of control.

Toby didn’t pause to think that her intention for revoking his reward was to teach him a lesson.

The only thought going through his head now was that his reward was no more. Gone was the pie that had fallen right from the sky and onto his lap.

How can this happen? he fumed. I refuse to accept this!

His conscience seemed to have manifested into a mini version of him, and mini Toby had his arms crossed in front of his chest as he rapidly shook his head, indicating that Toby shouldn't allow his reward to be canceled without putting up a fight.

Thinking of this, he reached out and held Sonia by the wrist. "Don't be like that, Little Leaf. Why do you have to cancel it out of nowhere?"

"Toby." A half smile appeared on her face as she looked at him. "Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know why I am canceling it?"

His eyes started drifting sideways guiltily at that. He then pretended like he didn't understand a word she was saying and with a slight shake of his head, he answered, "I really don't know."

Sonia immediately rolled her eyes and grumbled, "Enough. Did you think I wouldn't notice you looking elsewhere because you can look me in the eye? Stop putting on that act."

Unable to come up with more excuses for himself, Toby pressed his lips together before shifting his gaze back to her. He somewhat grumpily looked at her.

Sonia's heart couldn't help but melt at the sight of him behaving like a big puppy that was looking back at her with innocent eyes while it sat on the floor.
