Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 185

Hence, it was obvious at a glance who was in the wrong.

Toby must be responsible for Sonia. Why should Sonia bear it alone?!

At this thought, Zane’s expression was cold as he dialed Toby’s number.

At this moment, Toby was driving Tina home.

When he heard the phone ringing, he answered through the bluetooth in his ear. “Who is it?”

“It’s me!” Zane replied loudly.

Toby frowned. “What’s the matter?”

Zane was about to speak when he suddenly heard a soft female voice coming from his end of the line. “Toby, who is it?" “Toby, is Tina next to you?” Zane asked, his face turning gloomy.

Toby glanced at Tina, who was in the passenger seat, then gave a faint hum.

“Forget it. Let’s talk about it later. When Tina isn’t around, call me.”

With that, Zane hung up.

Toby narrowed his eyes.

If Zane called him so suddenly, he obviously had something important to tell him, but he wanted to avoid Tina.

It seemed like what he had to say wasn’t about business, but Sonia.

“Toby, who called you just now?” Tina asked curiously when she saw the man silently looking down.

Something flickered in the man’s eyes. “Zane. He wanted to discuss business matters.”

“Oh.” Tina nodded, not at all suspicious. “By the way, Toby, will you go to the charity auction that’s happening in a few days?”

“Of course. Mr. Laughlin was a close friend of my late grandfather, and Grandma hasn’t recovered yet, so I’ll go on her behalf,” Toby answered as he turned the steering wheel.

Tina clapped her hands. “That’s great. I’ll be going with my parents, but I don’t have a dress yet. Toby, can you accompany me to buy a dress tomorrow?”

She looked expectantly at him.

There was a slightly apologetic look in Toby s eyes. “I’m sorry, Tina. Tomorrow, there’ll be foreign investors present, so I can’t go with you. I’ll arrange for two female secretaries to accompany you.

“That’s fine.” Tina lowered her head, a little upset. “I’ll ask Cynthia to go with me.”

Soon, they arrived at the Gray Residence.

Remembering Zane’s phone call, Toby declined Julia’s invitation to dinner and drove back to the Fuller Group.

After entering the office, he loosened his tie while taking out his cell phone before returning Zane’s call.

Zane had been waiting for his call, so when he saw the phone ringing, he immediately picked up. “Has Tina left?”

Toby murmured assent. “What is it you wanted to tell me?”

“I wanted to talk to you about Sonia’s pregnancy,” Zane said.

Toby narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, if he was avoiding Tina, it was either about business or Sonia.

“What happened to Sonia?” Pursing his lips, Toby asked in his deep voice, his tone clearly laced with concern.

Zane heard it, but he didn’t expose him and simply acted as if he didn’t notice.

After all, Toby still wasn’t aware about his feelings for Sonia.

If he exposed Toby’s concern for Sonia, then

Toby might discover his feelings for her.

By then, there would be a huge obstacle in his pursuit of Sonia.

“She’s okay, but she intends to get an abortion,” Zane replied, leaning against his car.

Toby’s expression changed slightly. “Get an abortion?”

“Yeah.”

“How do you know?” Toby’s grip on his phone tightened abruptly.

Zane shrugged. “She told me personally, of course.

Told him personally...

Toby pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and his expression was extremely unpleasant. There was an unspeakable sense of anger and agitation in his heart.
