Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 144

“That’s enough, Tyler. Apologize to Tina. Now,” Toby urged impatiently, his brows knitted.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Tyler lowered his head and uttered unwillingly, “I’m sorry.”

A menacing aura could be felt coming from Toby as he said, “Where’s your sincerity, Tyler Fuller?”

Tyler pouted for a second before he raised his voice and said, “I’m sorry, Tina. Is this okay nowf

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Tina hurriedly said with a smile while waving her hand, showing that she had forgiven him.

In return, Tyler merely snorted, spun around, and paced off to a spot, sulking by himself.

As Toby looked at his back, Toby’s gaze darkened. Then, he turned to Tina next to him. “I’m sorry, Tina. Tyler is ignorant. You—

“It’s fine. I didn’t take it to heart,” Tina interjected, smiling.

The knot between his brows eased and he asked, “By the way, are you hurt anywhere?”

“No,” she answered while shaking her head.

Nodding, he said, “That’s good.”

Right after he said that, he heard Charles’ loud voice. “Oh darling, where are you going?”

Subconsciously, Toby turned to look in Sonia’s direction and saw that she was walking toward the small creek nearby.

“I’m going to wash my face,” she replied.

“Okay, watch out, then. Don’t fall into the river,” Charles warned.

That made Sonia stop in her tracks, and she turned around before rolling her eyes at him. “How can I fall in when the creek is so shallow? Are you dumb?”

Chuckling sheepishly, hethen answered, “I’mjust worried about you.”

“Alright. I’ll be back soon.” Turning her head back, she then continued to walk forward.

The entire time, Toby was watching how both of them interacted, and a dark shadow appeared over his eyes. Next to him, Tina knew that he was feeling jealous judging from the way he looked, and she bit her lower lip unwittingly.

Zane, who was observing all of them from nearby, noted with amusement, “Interesting.

Very interesting indeed.”

Suddenly, Tina said to Toby, “I’m going to wash my hands as well.”

While he watched Sonia crouched by the creek, instead of agreeing to it immediately, he said, “Wait a little while until Sonia is done.”

Now, there was no way he would let Tina and Sonia be alone together; he wasn’t worried about Sonia, but rather, he was worried about Tina as nobody knew when her second personality would come out.

“But my palms are covered in sweat and it’s very uncomfortable,” Tina explained, showing her palms to him.

After looking at her wet palms, Toby still didn’t allow her to go. “Bear with it for a little longer.”

“Okay,” Tina muttered in disappointment, her eyes dimmed as she hung her head.

If this were to happen in the past, I would have been soft-hearted the moment I saw her being uncomfortable, Toby thought. But right now in his heart, he didn’t feel a thing and even thought that her every move didn’t have such a huge impact on him as before. In contrast, everything Sonia did...

His thoughts drifted off as he stared at Sonia’s back with darkened eyes.

“Toby, come over for a while,” Tyler called while waving him over from a distance.

“I’m going over to take a look,” Toby said to Tina.

Nodding, she answered, “Go ahead.”
